Daniel Henao, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mineros, commented: “Porvenir's economics are compelling, a $460 million NPV at a 5% discount, near 40% IRR, and 2-year payback speak for themselves. What excites us most is that Porvenir is just the beginning of a confirmed polymetallic district. Nearby deposits like Guillermina, Leticia, and San Antonio sit within striking distance of shared and scalable infrastructure, and we believe we are standing on a district that has the potential to growMineros’ operations exponentially over the coming decade.”

PORVENIR POLYMETALLIC DISTRICT & PORVENIR PROJECT

The 2026 PFS and ongoing exploration work mark an important milestone, supporting Mineros’ view of an emerging polymetallic district with gold, silver, zinc, and copper associated with an intermediate sulphidation epithermal system. The district is centered on the Porvenir Project and includes several nearby deposits and early-stage exploration targets. This clustering highlights the presence of a coherent, district-scale mineralized system.

The 2026 PFS covers the Hemco Property in its entirety. As Panama and Pioneer are producing mines, the study's development focus is on the Porvenir Project, the Company’s principal development-stage project within the district. Concurrently, Mineros has completed updated Mineral Resource estimates for the Guillermina, Leticia, and San Antonio deposits. On a consolidated basis, Porvenir hosts approximately 736 Koz AuEq³ in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. In addition, Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, total approximately 406 Koz AuEq⁴, with a further 313 Koz AuEq classified as Inferred Mineral Resources on all four deposits. Mineros believes centralized infrastructure at Porvenir could serve as a processing hub for the district, with potential to significantly extend mine life beyond the current plan.

Relative to the previous prefeasibility study, this additional technical work has strengthened the project design, supported a better understanding of the underground mine plan, and defined an updated processing flowsheet. The 2026 PFS reflects improved project economics and supports Porvenir’s advancement as a robust underground polymetallic development project within the Hemco operations.

Recent exploration and technical work have highlighted a district-scale mineralized system comprising several spatially related deposits and targets, including:

• Porvenir Project: An epithermal gold-silver-zinc-copper system in pre-development stage with updated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, which is the focus of the 2026 PFS.
• Guillermina: An epithermal gold-silver-zinc-copper system at an advanced exploration stage, located ~3 km north of Porvenir; open along strike and at depth, with updated Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources.
• Leticia: An epithermal gold-silver-zinc system at an advanced exploration stage, located ~500 m northwest of Porvenir; open along strike and at depth, with updated Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources.
• San Antonio: An epithermal gold-silver-zinc-copper system at an advanced exploration stage, located ~500 m southwest of Porvenir; open along strike and at depth, with updated Inferred Mineral Resources.
• Early-stage exploration targets: Mombacho, Pochomil, Apoyo and Madroño, Momotombo which form part of the Company’s broader exploration pipeline within the Porvenir polymetallic district.

The presence of significant polymetallic mineralization distributed throughout the district reinforces the potential for continued resource growth and exploration activities which are focused on expanding Mineral Resources, increasing geological confidence, and advancing the broader district potential centered on the Porvenir Polymetallic district. (See figure 1)

PORVENIR PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Porvenir Project is located within the Bonanza-Siuna-Rosita Mining Triangle in northeastern Nicaragua, approximately 420 km northeast of Managua. The project forms part of the Company’s Hemco Property, which includes the producing Panama and Pioneer underground gold mines, as well as several advanced-stage and early-stage exploration targets across the district.

Mineralization at Porvenir occurs primarily within the Real McKoy and the Porvenir Norte and Porvenir Sur zones and is hosted in epithermal veins associated with intermediate sulphidation mineralization and hydrothermal breccias.

Mining will be conducted using mechanized underground methods. Geomechanical modelling completed as part of the 2026 PFS has been updated to support optimized stope design and improved underground mining parameters, with bench-and-fill and sub-level stoping as the primary extraction methods.

Ore from the Porvenir underground mine will be processed in a new dedicated processing facility incorporating flotation and cyanidation circuits. The optimized flowsheet enables the recovery of copper and zinc concentrates in addition to gold-silver doré.

Economic Analysis

The economic analysis of the Porvenir Project demonstrates that the Mineral Reserves are economically viable at the consensus forecast prices of $3,150/oz Au, $45.00/oz Ag, $4.72/lb Cu, and $1.22/lb Zn over the LOM. The 2026 PFS Update base case economics result in an after-tax NPV at a 5% discount rate of approximately $460 million, an after-tax IRR of 37.9%, and a payback period of approximately 2.0 years from the start of production.

Initial capital costs are estimated at $206.8 million, including contingency. Life-of-Mine (“LOM”) sustaining capital is estimated at $66.2 million, and closure and reclamation costs are estimated at $33.4 million.

After-Tax cash flow undiscounted for the LOM of $727 million, see Figure 2, and the average LOM AISC per ounce of gold equivalent sold is estimated at $1,295/oz AuEq.

Mine and Processing Plant Operation

The estimated Mineral Reserves support LOM of 9.2 years at a peak production rate of 2,000 tpd. The LOM plan is designed to minimize upfront capital expenditures without adversely affecting initial cash flow. The mine plan includes a six-month progressive ramp-up period, gradually increasing to 2,000 tpd in year one. Underground development is expected to commence two years prior to the start of production.

The proposed Porvenir Plant is designed as a stand-alone facility with a treatment capacity of 2,000 tpd, placed within a layout with sufficient capacity for future expansions. The plant will utilize an updated metallurgical flowsheet designed to produce three primary products: copper-lead concentrate containing gold and silver, zinc concentrate, and gold-silver doré bars. The comprehensive process includes primary crushing, followed by a grinding circuit featuring a SAG mill and two parallel ball mills. The recovery circuit integrates specialized stages such as flash flotation, conventional Cu-Pb and zinc flotation, and a cyanidation circuit for flotation tailings. The facility includes a Merrill-Crowe recovery system, a cyanide destruction circuit for tailings detoxification, and an industrial wastewater treatment plant equipped with an acid mine drainage module.

The Porvenir Plant is designed to achieve LOM metallurgical recoveries rates of 88.4% for gold, 84.9% for silver, 84.5% for zinc, and 69.9% for copper. Under the 2026 PFS, the Porvenir Project is expected to deliver average annual sales of 72.3 Koz AuEq¹, 54.5 Koz Au, 190 Koz Ag, 28 Mlb Zn and 3.75 Mlb Cu over years 1 to 9 (years of full production) of mine life. See Figure 3

Sensitivity analysis for the base case is provided in Table 1.

The 2026 PFS was managed by Mineros, completed by BISA Ingenieria de Proyectos S.A. of Lima, Peru (“BISA”), and reviewed by SLR. Both BISA and SLR are independent of Mineros.

PORVENIR MINERAL RESOURCES AND MINERAL RESERVES ESTIMATES

Porvenir Deposit Mineral Resources

Porvenir Project Mineral Resources set out in Table 2 were estimated by Mineros and reviewed by SLR. The updated Mineral Resource estimate effective December 31, 2025, accounts for updated metal prices, cost estimates, metallurgical recoveries, and resource reporting using an $80/t NSR cut-off for sub-level stoping resource shapes.

Porvenir Deposit Mineral Reserves

Mineral Reserves were estimated by BISA and reviewed by SLR, set out in Table 3, using the updated Mineral Resource estimate, and Deswik stope optimizer software to prepare stope designs for bench-and-fill and sub-level long hole stoping of the deposit. Mine access designs assume the use of mechanized equipment for mucking and haulage and conventional ventilation and backfill systems. Dilution was added to the footwall and hanging wall of stopes and mining extraction factors were included to account for pillars and practical ore extraction from stopes. Allowances were made for sill and rib pillars within the designs.

PORVENIR POLYMETALLIC DISTRICT MINERAL RESOURCES

Porvenir Polymetallic District Mineral Resources

Mineral Resources were estimated by Mineros and reviewed by SLR, set out in Table 4. The updated Mineral Resource estimate effective December 31, 2025, accounts for updated metal prices, cost estimates, metallurgical recoveries, and resource reporting using a $80/t NSR cut-off for sub-level stoping resource shapes. Mineral Resources at Guillermina, Leticia and San Antonio are classified based on drill hole spacing, using criteria comparable to those applied at Porvenir due to the similar deposit style.

PORVENIR NEXT STEPS

Future work at the Porvenir polymetallic district will focus on high-impact technical validation and optimization initiatives focusing on potential expanded processing capacities for the Porvenir Project, as well as continued understanding of the nearby identified targets through disciplined exploration drilling.

Key activities for the Porvenir Project include:

Infill Drilling: Execution of infill drilling campaigns and additional metallurgical sampling to support continued refinement of the processing flowsheet and optimization of the mine design and production schedule.

Infrastructure & Safety: Continuation of geotechnical studies and advanced engineering for the Tailings Storage Facility, the process plant, and associated site facilities.

These activities are designed to systematically de-risk the Porvenir Project. By aligning infill results with advanced engineering, we are establishing the technical certainty required to optimize capital allocation and provide a clear, data-driven path for future development options.
