MEDELLÍN, Colombia -- (Business Wire)

Mineros S.A. (TSX:MSA, OTCQX: MNSAF, BVC:MINEROS) (“Mineros” or the “Company”) has concluded its 2025 diamond drilling campaign at the Hemco Property in Nicaragua, completing 52,214 metres of core drilling. The program evaluated regional targets and provided infill data for active mining operations to confirm structural continuity and assess potential resource expansion. All technical disclosures have been reviewed by a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Exploration and Delineation Results

The 2025 program successfully identified new mineralized structures and extended known systems. Notable results are categorized by target area below:

Momotombo Target: This area, situated 2.5 km northwest of the Porvenir project, represents a new mineralized occurrence. Initial drilling, surface trenching, and mapping have identified approximately 400 metres of strike length, which remains open at depth.

BPPDDH_25_1: Intersected 2.90m (core length) grading 68.42 g/t Au and 208 g/t Ag.

BPISDD_25_2: Intersected 3.25m (core length) grading 28.23 g/t Au and 281 g/t Ag.

Porvenir Potential Upside: Drilling targeted the Guillermina, Leticia, and Apoyo vein systems to evaluate vertical and lateral continuity.

Guillermina System: Hole BGUIDDH_25_63 returned 13.90m (core length) grading 10.22 g/t Au, 53 g/t Ag, 9.17% Zn, and 0.41% Cu.

Leticia System: Hole BLDDH_25_43 returned 3.70m (core length) grading 36.58 g/t Au, 130 g/t Ag, 4.58% Zn, and 4.61% Cu.

Apoyo System: This newly identified system successfully extended the known mineralized footprint to the northeast.

Infill Drilling and Operational Support

Infill drill programs conducted at the Panamá and Pioneer Mines were designed to increase data density for near-term mine planning.

La Reforma Vein (Pioneer Mine): Confirmed high-grade continuity within active mining blocks.

BPIODD_25_2261: Intersected 2.35m (core length) grading 26.55 g/t Au.

BPIODD_25_2251: Intersected 12.65m (core length) grading 8.53 g/t Au.

Capitán FW and Atlas Veins (Panamá Mine): Delineation drilling confirmed and locally extended mineralization within existing underground infrastructure.

Carlos David Rios, Vice President of Exploration for Mineros, commented: “Record gold production in 2025 demonstrates the strength of our operating assets. This performance, combined with the prospectivity of the Hemco Property land package, allows us to advance the most ambitious exploration program in Mineros' history. With over 75,000 metres of drilling planned and an expanded soil sampling program underway, we are well-positioned to expand our known mineralization across this district.”

MOMOTOMBO AREA: A POTENTIAL NEW HIGH-GRADE ZONE

The 2025 program led to the discovery of high-grade mineralization at Momotombo, confirming the district’s strong exploration potential. Located 2.5 km northwest of the Porvenir Project (see Figure 1), Momotombo expands the known mineralized footprint. Drilling, trenching, and mapping outline up to 400 metres of strike, with mineralization open at depth. Momotombo will be a priority target in the expanded 2026 program as we advance and define its full scale and value.

POTENTIAL UPSIDE AT PORVENIR

The 2025 drilling program successfully extended high-grade zones near the Porvenir Project. Drilling at the Guillermina and Leticia vein systems confirmed robust vertical continuity at depth, while the newly identified Apoyo Vein System extended the known mineralization to the northeast (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). These structures remain open along strike and at depth, demonstrating potential upside to the Porvenir Project in the near future.

*AuEq (g/t) is calculated as follows: (Au (g/t) x 0.86) + (Ag (g/t) x 0.0186 x 0.884) + (Cu (%) x 0.74 x 0.70) + (Zn (%) x 0.199 x 0.85) utilizing metal prices of Au – US$4,300/oz, Ag – US$80/oz, Cu – US$4.62/lb and Zn – US$1.25/lb. Recovery Rates: 85.5% for Au; 88% for Ag and 85% Zn. Recoveries for Au, Ag, Cu and Zn are based on metallurgical test work for the Porvenir Project. Prices reflect January 2026 spot rates.

Intercepts reported herein are not included in the Mineral Resource estimation and lack demonstrated economic viability. It is uncertain whether further exploration will result in these extensions being categorized as Mineral Resources or converted into Mineral Reserves.

HIGH-GRADE INFILL RESULTS AT PANAMÁ AND PIONEER MINE

The 2025 infill drilling program continues to intersect high-grade mineralization along the main vein systems at our core operations.

At the Pioneer Mine, infill and definition drilling has confirmed the continuity of high-grade zones within the La Reforma Vein system. At the Panamá Mine, drilling has confirmed and locally extended mineralization within the Capitán FW and Atlas vein systems. These results support our near-term mine planning and are expected to support future updates to mine plans and contribute to extending the Life of Mine at both operations.

Election of Directors – Electoral Quotient System

The Company has been granted an exemption from the individual voting and majority voting requirements applicable to listed issuers under Toronto Stock Exchange policies, on grounds that compliance with such requirements would constitute a breach of Colombian laws and regulations which require the directors to be elected on the basis of a slate of nominees proposed for election pursuant to an electoral quotient system.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

In accordance with applicable Canadian securities regulatory requirements, all Mineral Resource estimates disclosed in this news release have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and are classified in accordance with the CIM Standards.

Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. Pursuant to the CIM Standards, Mineral Resources have a higher degree of uncertainty than Mineral Reserves as to their existence as well as their economic and legal feasibility. Inferred Mineral Resources, when compared with Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources, have the least certainty as to their existence, and it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continued exploration. Pursuant to NI 43-101, Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of any economic analysis, including any feasibility study. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a Mineral Resource exists, will ever be converted into a Mineral Reserve, or is or will ever be economically or legally mineable or recovered.
