DENARIUS METALS GRANTED THE "CRUZADILLO" INVESTIGATION PERMIT NEAR ITS LOMERO PROJECT, HUELVA PROVINCE, ANDALUSIA, SPAIN

The Ministry of Industrial Policy and Energy of Huelva, Andalusia, has granted Denarius Metals Corp. the exploration permit for the Cruzadillo claims, which are located less than one kilometre from the company's 100-per-cent-owned Lomero project. The Cruzadillo investigation permit covers an area of approximately 60 hectares and brings Denarius Metals' total property holdings in the Iberian pyrite belt to approximately 665 hectares.

Serafino Iacono, executive chairman of Denarius Metals, commented: "The granting of the Cruzadillo investigation permit expands our property holdings in the mineralized trend of the IPB. This new property hosts a combination of geophysical anomalies associated with gossan outcrops that supports the potential for the discovery of additional polymetallic deposits. Our team is currently designing the next phase of systematic exploration activities and drilling campaign to be carried out in 2026 at the Lomero project, including the Cruzadillo area."

Significance of the Cruzadillo investigation permit

Cruzadillo is crossed by the potential western extension of Las Merinas target, which lies along a major shear zone discovered in 2022 by field mapping and supported by geophysics anomalies, located south of the shear zone hosting the Lomero-Poyatos deposit and both trending east-west. The shear zone that crosses Cruzadillo is delineated by spotted outcrops of gossan such as at Lomero and Las Merinas, with associated evidence of old mining workings (Las Merinas W prospect) and a former mine, named Maria mine, adjacent to the old Cruzadillo mine, covered by the waste from the San Telmo mine (Santa Barbara open pit).

The mineralization originally mined at the Cruzadillo mine consisted of three ore lenses. Mining began with Bede Metal Corp. in 1882, in a 280-by-40-metre cut, likely exploiting the gossan zone and a secondary enrichment to a depth of 27 m. Open-pit mining was halted in 1892. A 1917 map shows two levels of underground exploration in which the lens terminated at depth with metric-sized bands of massive sulphides (probably hosted by semi-massive sulphides). Around 1915, a 50-metre-deep exploration shaft was constructed east of the main shaft. A drift from this exploration shaft, at a level of 27 m, led to the discovery of four lenses in an area not previously mined or recognized. This work extended into the 1960s, leading to the definition of an area of mineralization east of the shaft and some historical drilling in the early 1970s.

The Cruzadillo investigation permit is important to Denarius Metals because it also provides the company with legal coverage by preferential right over the land between Cruzadillo and the company's existing investigation permits, Rubia and Palomarejo. Through this legal coverage, referred to as Demasias, the company has influence over an additional 141 hectares within the IPB.

In the coming months, the company will complete the design of the forthcoming drilling campaign for the Lomero project to be carried out in 2026, including definition drilling targets at Cruzadillo to test for the presence of polymetallic bodies that have the potential to increase the current mineral resources of the Lomero project.

About Denarius Metals Corp.

Denarius Metals is a Canadian junior company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and eventual operation of precious metal and polymetallic mining projects in high-grade districts in Colombia and Spain. Denarius Metals is listed on Cboe Canada, where it trades under the symbol DMET. The company also trades on the OTCQX market in the United States under the symbol DNRSF.

In Colombia, Denarius Metals commenced mining operations in the second quarter of 2025 at its 100-per-cent-owned Zancudo project, a high-grade gold-silver deposit, which includes the historic producing Independencia mine, located in the Cauca belt, about 30 kilometres southwest of Medellin.

In Spain, Denarius Metals has interests in three projects focused on in-demand critical minerals. The company owns a 21-per-cent interest in Rio Narcea Recursos SL and is the operator of its Aguablanca project, which has been recognized by the European Union as a strategic project. The Aguablanca project comprises a turnkey 5,000-tonne-per-day processing plant and the rights to exploit the historic producing Aguablanca nickel-copper mine, located in Monesterio, Extremadura. Denarius Metals also owns a 100-per-cent interest in the Lomero project, a polymetallic deposit located on the Spanish side of the prolific copper-rich Iberian pyrite belt, approximately 88 kilometres southwest of the Aguablanca project, and a 100-per-cent interest in the Toral project, a high-grade zinc-lead-silver deposit located in the Leon province, northern Spain.
