2025 Outlook

Mundoro's primary focus in the coming year will be on advancing high-potential targets across our wholly-owned projects with the objective of securing additional joint venture partnerships and concurrently the execution of exploration programs for our partners, BHP and JOGMEC. A key element of our strategy involves ongoing generative exploration to identify and develop compelling copper and/or gold targets for drill testing. This will expand our portfolio and attract a broader range of potential partners, thereby increasing exploration and enhancing the opportunity for discovery. We remain committed to building a robust pipeline of projects, leveraging our expertise in generative exploration, and creating value through partnerships. Furthermore, we will continue to review strategic opportunities that align with our core strengths and enhance shareholder value.

Advancing Exploration at the BHP-Mundoro Projects in Serbia to Drill Testing

South Timok
Mundoro has advanced exploration activities across the Ponor, Lipovica, Orlovac and Vitanovac licenses through a comprehensive program that included a project-scale ground Audio-Magnetotelluric (AMT) survey, targeted rock and soil sampling, and reconnaissance mapping. These efforts were designed to enhance the geological understanding of the project area. In 2025, the company plans to extend the magnetic, gravity and AMT surveys over an addition to the project area while simultaneously conducting follow-up geophysical surveys on anomalies identified during the initial project-wide survey.

Borsko
To facilitate target refinement, the company conducted geochemical analysis, Induced Polarization (IP) surveys, and bulk density measurements on drill core from Target 1. Additionally, structural interpretation of the Borsko target area was initiated. In 2025, the company plans to conduct Green Rock analysis, further AMT geophysical surveys, and a reinterpretation of the targets. To date, Target 1 remains a compelling prospect for a porphyry deposit.

Trstenik
Results from the 2024 exploration program at the Trstenik Project identified five porphyry exploration targets. These targets are the Southwest, Southeast, North-Central, Central, and North zones, that each represent exploration potential for porphyry intrusions. The Company has submitted drill permit applications for each target, marking the next step towards unlocking their value through future drilling. The exploration team is actively advancing the North-Central zone to drill-ready status in order to drill test in Q1-2025. A planned 4,700-meter, four-hole drilling program will be the first phase of testing in this prospective area, focused on testing for a porphyry intrusion.

Vectoring in on Large-Scale Porphyry Targets within Mundoro controlled South Timok Portfolio in Serbia

During 2024, Mundoro's exploration team recompiled and analyzed the exploration data collected from two previous partnerships which collectively had spent C$14.4 million over the project area which is a total of approximately 417 sq km. As a result, the analysis identified highly prospective porphyry exploration targets at the Tilva Rosh prospect area within Mundoro's 100%-owned licenses in Timok, Serbia. As the work continues, targeting and analysis continues over the Markov Kamen area which has also resulted in additional targets. The targets exhibit geological features, mineralization styles, and alteration patterns characteristic of porphyry and related high-sulphidation epithermal systems known in the region such as the Bor deposit and the Cukaru Peki deposit. Over the course of the year, the Company has presented the project to potential partners for the purpose of joint venturing.

Dos Cabezas, Arizona: Drill Results Confirm Porphyry Potential, Partnership Opportunities

Exploration to date has identified three target areas with outcropping alteration and mineralization potentially associated with Laramide-age porphyry copper systems: Mescal Canyon, Mineral Park, and Elma. Two additional undercover target areas, the Northwest Pediments and Southeast Pediments, were identified along the apparent west-northwest trend of the Apache Pass Fault Zone.

Two drill holes were successfully completed at the project. The first hole, targeting the Mineral Park area, reached a depth of 598 meters and encountered anomalous Cu-Au-Mo mineralization. The second hole, in the Mescal Canyon area, reached a depth of 743.7 meters and intersected multiple zones of anomalous Cu-Mo-Ag mineralization, with logged alteration and veining.

The Company is presenting the Dos Cabezas Project to potential partners for the purpose of joint venture. Ongoing mapping and sample collection are planned in the Elma area to establish further drill targets.

Picacho, Arizona: Focused on Partnering to test Porphyry Target

The Company intends to advance the identified porphyry targets to a drill-ready stage by securing the necessary permits and presenting to potential partners. Once a partner is secured for this project, further exploration plans would include expanding geophysical surveys, conducting follow up geochemical analyses, and initiating targeted drilling programs to test the identified porphyry copper prospects.

Copperopolis, Arizona: Advancing Early Stage Exploration for Drill Targets

Fieldwork to generate target areas for drill testing has been underway since the second half of 2024 as part of a reconnaissance exploration program. Exploration plans for 2025 include magnetic survey, high-resolution photogrammetry, detailed mapping and soil sampling over areas of interest to identify potential drill targets.
