Star Metro - PPX Resumes Exploration Activities at Callanquitas

On February 17, 2025, its mining partner in the Callanquitas Mine, Proyectos La Patagonia S.A.C. ("PLP"), concluded negotiations of a Drilling Contract (the "Contract") with RAMPERU S.A.C. Servicios Generales ("RAM"). Under the terms of the Contract, RAM will perform 2264 meters of diamond drilling (DDH) from underground.

Highlights:

1) First, to confirm the geometry and replicate the high gold, silver and copper values ​​of the tensional sulfide vein in the downhole at elevation 2850 mt., intercepted by drill hole CA-24-07 (9.20m@ 10.34 g/t Au, 1670.8 g/t Ag y 4% Cu) and interpreted along with gallery exploration and channel sampling at elevation 2970 mt. in Callanquitas Mine. In addition, to corroborate oxide high values in the stope of Callanquitas East vein (5.25m@ 12.05g/t Au y 300.9 g/t Ag), also intercepted by drill hole 07; then, to calculate a first resource estimate of this drilled section of the tensional sulfide vein.

2) Second, to expand inferred oxide resources with economic grades of gold and silver in the Callanquitas West vein, according to the reference values ​​intercepted by drill holes CA-24-09 and CA-24-10 (0.4m@ 18.93 g/t y 51.3 g/t Ag) in 2024 and the results of channel sampling in gallery exploration at elevation 3290 mt. Finally, to begin corroboration drilling of the structure that can potentially mirrors the Callanquitas East vein (mined with 9.44 g/t Au and open at depth) in the west vein. See next image:

John Thomas, CEO commented "we are excited to resume exploration activities at Callanquitas, following the subscription of our new assignment agreements with PLP. This drilling program will continue exploring the Callanquitas after spectacular results obtaining in the last drilling program performed during 2024. This exploration program should provide the basis to continue expanding our existing resource".
