CONDOR PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE AND OUTLOOK FOR 2025
Condor Resources Inc. has provided a corporate update and management's outlook for the rest of 2025.
Chris Buncic, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We expect 2025 to be a defining year for Condor. We are advancing two highly prospective precious metals projects -- Pucamayo and Huinac Punta -- both of which have the potential to scale to a size that could attract the interest of major mining companies. Significant progress is anticipated on both projects this year. Additionally, our Cobreorco project, currently being advanced through the permitting process by a subsidiary of Teck Resources Ltd., is expected to become increasingly active once final permits are granted. Condor stands to benefit significantly if Teck's exploration succeeds in discovering the anticipated large gold-copper skarn and porphyry-type project together with the terms of our option and joint venture agreement.
"On the corporate front, we are actively exploring opportunities to divest non-core assets, which would generate meaningful non-dilutive capital to support the development of our primary projects. With these initiatives under way, we expect a busy and productive year ahead and look forward to keeping investors updated on our progress."
Project updates
Pucamayo
Pucamayo is Condor's flagship 8,500-hectare exploration project in Ica, Peru. The project features a complex high- to intermediate-sulphidation system beneath a large, six-square-kilometre lithocap alteration, prospective for epithermal gold-silver and copper-gold porphyry mineralization.
In August, 2024, Condor submitted its declaracion de impacto ambiental application to the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines for the expanded Pucamayo South East area. The company subsequently received follow-up questions from the MEM in November and December, with responses submitted in mid-January. Given the nature of the inquiries, management believes the application is in its final stages, with approval anticipated shortly.
A 6,000-metre exploration drilling program has been planned for Pucamayo South East, to be executed in phases. The pending permit application allows for 40 drill platforms, with multiple holes per platform, and a five-year window to complete exploration activities before requiring reapplication.
Huinac Punta
In August, 2024, the company completed the Consulta Previa process, which included a community consultation co-ordinated in conjunction with the Social Management Directorate of MEM, and as reported on Nov. 14, 2024, Condor subsequently received its initiation of activities, the final permit required to commence exploration drilling at Huinac Punta. The IA permit provides for 40 drill platforms with the ability to drill several holes per platform and the flexibility to conduct drilling over a five-year period.
The company has since expanded the project by acquiring an additional 5,200 hectares of exploration concessions, which are considered prospective for silver, copper and other base metals. A maiden 2,000-metre exploration drilling program is planned to commence after the rainy season, targeting a one-kilometre structure where high-grade silver and base metal grab samples were collected associated with coincident geophysical anomalies.
Cobreorco
In December, 2023, Condor entered into an option and joint venture agreement with Teck on the company's Cobreorco copper-gold project in the Apurimac department, Peru. Under the agreement, Teck has the option to earn a 55-per-cent interest in Cobreorco over three years by incurring $4-million (U.S.) in exploration expenditures and making $500,000 (U.S.) in cash payments. Upon exercising this first option, a dedicated holding company will be formed, after which Teck may further increase its stake to 75 per cent by spending an additional $6-million (U.S.) in exploration and making further cash payments of $600,000 (U.S.).
Following further technical work and community engagement, Teck submitted a revised DIA application in fourth quarter 2024 and is actively working with MEM to advance the permitting process.
Soledad
As reported Oct. 7, 2024, Condor terminated its option agreement with Chakana Copper Corp. due to non-performance under the agreement. The company regained control of the project data, drill core and samples in February, 2025.
In 2022, Chakana completed an updated National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Soledad project, in which the author estimated an inferred resource of 4.8 million tonnes grading 0.72 gram per tonne gold, 61 g/t silver and 0.97 per cent copper amenable to extraction by underground mining methods plus an additional 1.9 million tonnes grading 1.29 g/t gold, 37.1 g/t silver and 0.65 per cent copper amenable to extraction by open-pit mining methods. The report notes that breccias 1, 5, 6 and 7 are located on the Condor concessions, and make up 71 per cent of the inferred resource.
Management has engaged in discussions with multiple interested parties regarding a potential sale of the Soledad concessions and remains optimistic regarding opportunities to monetize the asset.
Rio Bravo
As reported on Feb. 3, 2025, Condor completed a transaction with a major mining company, acquiring a historical data set for its Rio Bravo project. The data set includes results from 11 drill holes totalling 5,729 metres (completed in 2012), along with drill logs, assays, core photographs, soil geochemistry, ground geophysics and detailed geological mapping. Although historical, these results confirm intersections of significant porphyry copper and molybdenum mineralization. Management believes the main porphyry system, exposed along a one-kilometre ravine, sits within a larger alteration halo, suggesting the potential for a bulk-minable deposit.
Following Condor's acquisition of these data, several parties have expressed interest in the Rio Bravo project, and management is optimistic about potential monetization opportunities.

About Condor Resources Inc.
Condor Resources is a precious and base metal exploration company focused on its portfolio of projects in Peru. The company's flagship project, Pucamayo, is an 85-square-kilometre property containing a high-sulphidation epithermal system with disseminated precious metal mineralization with a large lithocap alteration visible at surface. The Huinac Punta project, a 7,200-hectare property in Huanuco, Peru, has the potential to host a large carbonate-replacement-style silver-dominant polymetallic mineralized body with the potential for discovery of a bulk tonnage silver and base metal deposit. The company has optioned several large projects to partners which continue to advance these projects. The company's award-winning exploration team in Peru has a long history of success in discovering and advancing high-quality exploration projects and managing the social aspects of its exploration activities.
