London, March 10th, 2025. Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the
"Company") (TSXV/AIM:OMI),
is pleased to announce an update on the progress of exploration
activities at the Company's flagship Anzá Project ("Project") in
Colombia.
ANZÁ Project
The Anzá Project is now 100% owned
by the Company following completion of a Share Purchase Agreement
("SPA"), announced 28th November 2024, whereby the
Company purchased all of the shares of its previous JV partner,
Minera Monte Aguila ("MMA").
The Project is located 50km west of
Medellin and is easily accessible by all-weather roads and boasts
excellent infrastructure including water, power and communications
as well as a large exploration camp.
The Project sits within the prolific
mid-Cauca belt, Colombia's primary gold belt, and is located along
strike between several world class gold/copper deposits including
Buritica, Quebradona and Guayabales/Marmato (Figure 1.)
From September 2018 to November
2024, the Anzá project was under the control of its previous JV
partner MMA, itself a 50/50 venture between the world's two largest
gold miners, Agnico Eagle Mines and Newmont Mining.
As such, the Company has only been
back in control of the Project for less than four
months.

Belt
Prospects
The Company is currently focussed on
three prospects within the Anzá Project - Pepas, APTA and El Cedro.
All three prospects are within the same granted exploration title
that is broken into two, non-contiguous pieces (Figure
2).
Drilling is currently being
undertaken at the Pepas prospect in the northern extent of the Anzá
Project (pre-acquisition) over 10km north of the central base camp
at APTA.
Post the MMA acquisition in late
November 2024, the Company more than doubled its land holding in
the mid-Cauca belt to 400km2, by virtue of gaining ownership of a
large number of licence applications held by MMA. This makes the
Company one of the major land holders in one of the world's most
exciting gold belts.
These applications have yet to be
properly assessed by the Company as most financial and management
resources have thus far been directed to drilling at
Pepas.

Figure 2. Main prospects,
licences pre-MMA acquisition
Pepas Prospect
Pepas was discovered by MMA in late
2021 by BLEG sampling and geological mapping, followed by 11
diamond drill holes in 2022 (PEP001 to PEP011).
After completion of the transaction
to buy MMA, the Company restarted drilling at the Pepas prospect in
late-November 2024.
Drilling commenced with hole PEP012,
which was positioned to confirm previous high-grade results in
holes PEP001, PEP005 and PEP007 drilled in 2022.
Later holes were then rotated
clockwise from PEP012 to begin to test what was considered by
Company geological teams to be the controlling trend of SE to
NW. The primary objective of the first phase of drilling by
the Company was to attempt to understand the geological controls
upon mineralisation first identified in 2022, so as to provide
guidance for later step out drilling.
Holes drilled and announced to date
(PEP012 to PEP027) have all intersected substantial sequences of
gold mineralisation, largely from surface, thus far manifested as a
thick wedge of silicified tuffs within the keel of two converging
faults. Chemical analysis suggests the mineralisation to be
possibly a variant of a high sulphidation epithermal style, but
with just over 1100m drilled thus far, there is yet insufficient
information to fully define its genesis, structural controls or
source. By definition, this style of mineralisation, is the
shallower expression of a deeper source, which has yet to be
examined as drilling has focussed on the high grade near surface
material.

Figure 2. Plan of
holes
Of these current five holes, two
(PEP023 and PEP024) were drilled some distance from the currently
defined core deposit, to test a small, medium grade outcrop of
silicified material. Moderate intersections were recorded in
complex series of veins in a different domain to previous
drilling. This opens up a new target and will require more
work.
Hole PEP025 was drilled on section
with PEP014, 021 and 022, to complete this section and to better
define a central high-grade core around which a future resource
might be developed.
Hole PEP026 was drilled in the NW
end underneath the discovery hole PEP001, to test a structure
identified in early drilling. Broken ground was intersected
in shallower sections, before a substantial gold intersection lower
in the hole.
PEP027 was drilled beyond the SE
margin of previous drilling to test the depth extent of a large,
silicified outcrop that was mapped to the south of the current area
of focus, with a substantial thickness of gold mineralisation being
intersected. The nature of this material suggests a later
phase of mineralisation from the two main events seen to date, one
that is slightly lower in grade than that so far defined.
However, this zone appears thick and on surface, outcrop extends
some distance southward and will be followed up in later drilling
extending southward.
Drill intersections for these most
recent five holes are as follows:

Table 1. Drill
Intercepts
Discussion
Drilling thus far has been largely
focussed within an area of roughly 150m x 150m. This has been
done intentionally, both because the thick, high-grade
mineralisation is potentially amenable to being moved to an
economic resource very quickly, even within a small area, but also
to allow time for development of targets and physical access toward
the north where previously announced surface geochemistry has
suggested substantial extension potential.
As announced on February
4th 2025, previous surface geochemistry collected by
MMA, has identified a large, highly anomalous region to the north
of the current Pepas mineralisation. Company geological teams have
begun to expand on this work, resulting in the identification of a
large, highly mineralised channel sample some 200m north of the
limit of current drilling (Figure 4).
The Company is advanced in planning
to move the drill rig into this zone, however this requires not
only greater geological understanding to direct drilling, but also
the development of physical access for rigs and
machinery.
While access work continues, the
Company has just begun a drone aeromagnetic survey over the Pepas
area, designed to provide high resolution geophysical data to
assist in increasing understanding of the structural architecture
of the Pepas deposit. This survey is expected to be completed
within a week, with data being made available later in March.
It is hoped these data may shed light on the sense of movement of
later faults that would seem to have broken up the mineralisation,
as well as providing vectors to a deeper source.

Metallurgy
Last week a bulk composite sample of
Pepas mineralisation was sent to a metallurgical laboratory in
Canada for the first phase of metallurgical testing for
Pepas. This work will be preliminary in nature, designed to
provide guidance and parameters for future feasibility related
metallurgical work.
Holes Drilled post MMA transaction
14 holes have been drilled at Pepas
since the MMA transaction in November 2024.

Table 2. Results to
date, post MMA transaction
El
Cedro
The El Cedro (and El Roble) prospect
lies to the south of the same integrated licence that hosts both
Pepas and APTA, and is roughly 4km south of the APTA base
camp.
Work on the area began some years
ago before Orosur's tenure, when Anglo American undertook
reconnaissance mapping and sampling, identifying a highly
prospective gold/copper porphyry system.
Little work was then undertaken
until late 2021, when the Company's previous JV partner MMA
re-entered the area to carry out mapping, sampling and ground
geophysics that largely confirmed Anglo American's previous work
and mapped several large dioritic intrusions and associated
epithermal systems. Sampling was limited to creeks and
drainages, and several small areas in the centre of the zone.
However, wide areas of gold anomalism were identified in soils and
channel samples, with assays above 5g/t Au identified across a
large area, with associated copper and molybdenum anomalism (Figure
5).
Older airborne magnetic data
suggests the presence of a large intrusive complex demonstrating a
"ring" structure, often seen in such environments.
The Company is currently in the
advanced stages of logistical planning and socialisation to allow a
large-scale sampling program to commence as soon as possible.
Work will concentrate on confirmation of the previous phases of
work by Anglo American and MMA and expanding the scope with ridge
and spur soil sampling over a 2km x 2km area.
It is hoped work can commence in
March.

historical and planned - over airborne magnetics
Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
"Anzá has come a long way in no time
at all. Pepas began with a bang and is now well into the
phase of serious geological work to assess its size and
metallurgical characteristics. In parallel, we are now
commencing work at El Cedro to hopefully confirm this as a large
gold porphyry system. Added to APTA and El Pantano we hope to soon
have multiple major gold irons in the fire during a bouyant gold
market - all owned 100%."
