Star Metro - NOA Welcomes Site Visit by Salta's Secretary of Mining to Review Project Progress and 2026 Work Program

During the site visit (see photo below), Salta's Secretary of Mining, Gustavo Carrizo, met with the Company's site leadership and technical team to review recent progress, tour key work areas, and discuss the Company's planned activities for 2026. These activities include, among other things, NOA's planned drilling and exploration campaign, which is expected to commence shortly. The parties also reviewed the Project's near-term priorities and the schedule for field campaigns and supporting studies planned for this year, with the goal of completing Rio Grande's Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") before year-end.

NOA's Chief Executive Officer and Director, Gabriel Rubacha, states: "We appreciate the opportunity to host the Secretary on site and share the progress our team has achieved. The visit reflects the importance of ongoing collaboration with provincial authorities as we execute our 2026 program. This year, we are focused on advancing the Rio Grande project to PFS - a major milestone for the project and the Company - while continuing to prioritize safety, environmental stewardship, and engagement with local communities."
