Phase II drill program progressing ahead of schedule: the first drill hole has been successfully completed, and the program has advanced to Hole 002 of the planned 21-hole, approximately 8,000-metre campaign. A second drill rig is expected to mobilize to site within the coming days. The Company is targeting a first batch of assay results in August 2026.3D magnetic vector inversion identifies three interpreted porphyry-related intrusive centers at depth across the Adelita district: Mezquital, a deep magnetic source beneath Cerro Grande Central, and a newly identified body south of the Cerro Grande skarn - the La Corona target - suggesting a multi-center intrusive system underlies the Adelita district.Cerro Grande skarn corridor resolved into multiple discrete, stacked magnetic bodies: UAV survey delivers approximately 7x improvement in spatial resolution over the previous airborne dataset, resolving the corridor into a series of stacked magnetic highs, consistent with additional skarn potential along strike that remains entirely undrilled beyond the known discovery.Mezquital porphyry target precisely defined: the dipolar anomaly is now constrained at approximately 2.2 kilometres by 700 metres with a peak amplitude of approximately 2,100 nT and an interpreted vertical extent of approximately 750 metres, consistent with a substantial near-surface magnetite-bearing intrusive body.Structural targeting model validated property-wide: Four structural families, confirming the NW-SE × N-S structural intersection as the primary control on the Cerro Grande discovery and identifying multiple new untested structural intersections across the 5,895-hectare property.
