Mundoro grew the exploration portfolio in Q1-2023 with the addition of the Picacho Project, in Arizona resulting in 10 active exploration programs.

Q1-2023 Financial Highlights

• Strong Cash Position: As of March 31, 2023, the Company held cash and cash equivalents totaling $7,290,012 (December 31, 2022 - $4,843,844) and no long-term debt.

• Positive Net Income: In Q1-2023, the Company recorded income of $321,748 ($0.00 per share), compared to a net loss of $430,630 ($0.01 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 for an increase of $752,378.

• Partner Funded Exploration Expenditures & Generative Expenditures: The exploration and project evaluation expenditures, the majority of which are sole-funded by partners, were higher at $1,686,880 in Q1-2023 compared to $948,776 in Q1-2022 due to higher budgeted exploration expenditures across the various partner funded programs. Recoveries from option partners in Q1-2023 were $1,549,658 (92% recovery) compared to $774,330 (82% recovery) in Q1-2022, resulting in net exploration costs of $137,222 in Q1-2023 and $174,446 in Q1-2022. The net exploration costs are attributable: (i) costs that have been spent on behalf of a partner and will be reimbursed in the next reporting period under recoveries from partners and (ii) to the Project Generative segment of the Company. The Project Generative segment creates long-term royalty opportunities and receives property payments, milestone payments and other fees in exchange for mineral projects.

• Corporate Expenses: Corporate expenses in Q1-2023 were $341,199 compared to $186,461 in Q1-2022 which represented an increase of $154,738 compared to Q1-2022. The increase was driven by an increase in salary related costs, increased overall professional and services costs and increased travel and corporate development related expenses resulting from less travel restrictions over the reporting period.

• Positive Cash Flow from Operations: The Cash Flow from Operations is higher at $2,729,681 in Q1-2023 compared to $(569,252) in Q1-2022, resulting in an increase of $3,298,933 from Q1-2022 to Q1-2023.
