About Panoro
Panoro is a uniquely positioned Peru focused copper exploration and
development company. The Company is advancing its flagship project,
Cotabambas Copper-Gold-Silver Project and its Antilla
Copper-Molybdenum Projects located in the strategically important
area of southern Peru.
Panoro has completed strategic partnerships at four of its
projects:
- Precious Metals Purchase Agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals
at the Cotabambas Project;
- Joint Venture with JOGMEC at the Humamantata Project;
- Sale to Hudbay Minerals of the Kusiorcco Project for cash and
NSR royalty; and
- Sale to Mintania of the Cochasayhuas Project for cash and NSR
royalty.
These partnerships would provide, if all received, US$ 15.5 million of funding to Panoro from 2020
to 2024, not including the potential NSR royalties from the
Kusiorcco and Cochasayhuas Projects.
At the Cotabambas Project, the Company is focused on delineating
the growth potential while optimizing the project economics.
Exploration and step-out drilling from 2017, 2018 and 2019 has
identified the potential for both oxide and sulphide resource
growth.

The PEAs are considered preliminary in nature and include
Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative to
have the economic considerations applied that would enable
classification as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the
conclusions within the updated PEA will be realized. Mineral
Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated
economic viability.

Information and statements contained in this news
release that are not historical facts are "forward-looking
information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation and involve risks and uncertainties.
Examples of forward-looking information and statements contained

respect to:
- acceleration of payments by Wheaton Metals to match third party
financing by Panoro targeted for exploration at the Cotabambas
Project;
- payment by Wheaton Metals of US$140
million in installments;
- Panoro weathering the current depressed equity and commodity
markets, minimizing dilution to existing shareholders and making
targeted investments into exploration at the Cotabambas
Project;
- mineral resource estimates and assumptions;
- the PEA, including, but not limited to, base case parameters
and assumptions, forecasts of net present value, internal rate of
return and payback; and
- copper concentrate grade from the Cotabambas Project.
Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing
conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in
forward-looking information. In some instances, material
assumptions and factors are presented or discussed in this news
release in connection with the statements or disclosure containing
the forward-looking information and statements. You are cautioned
that the following list of material factors and assumptions is not
exhaustive. The factors and assumptions include, but are not
limited to, assumptions concerning: metal prices and by-product
credits; cut-off grades; short and long term power prices;
processing recovery rates; mine plans and production scheduling;
process and infrastructure design and implementation; accuracy of
the estimation of operating and capital costs; applicable tax and
royalty rates; open-pit design; accuracy of mineral reserve and
resource estimates and reserve and resource modeling; reliability
of sampling and assay data; representativeness of mineralization;
accuracy of metallurgical test work; and amenability of upgrading
and blending mineralization.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause
actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed
or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without
limitation:
- risks relating to metal price fluctuations;
- risks relating to estimates of mineral resources, production,
capital and operating costs, decommissioning or reclamation
expenses, proving to be inaccurate;
- the inherent operational risks associated with mining and
mineral exploration, development, mine construction and operating
activities, many of which are beyond Panoro's control;
- risks relating to Panoro's ability to enforce Panoro's legal
rights under permits or licenses or risk that Panoro's will become
subject to litigation or arbitration that has an adverse
outcome;
- risks relating to Panoro's projects being in Peru, including political, economic and
regulatory instability;
- risks relating to the uncertainty of applications to obtain,
extend or renew licenses and permits;
- risks relating to potential challenges to Panoro's right to
explore and/or develop its projects;
- risks relating to mineral resource estimates being based on
interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral
production under actual circumstances;
- risks relating to Panoro's operations being subject to
environmental and remediation requirements, which may increase the
cost of doing business and restrict Panoro's operations;
- risks relating to being adversely affected by environmental,
safety and regulatory risks, including increased regulatory burdens
or delays and changes of law;
- risks relating to inadequate insurance or inability to obtain
insurance;
- risks relating to the fact that Panoro's properties are not yet
in commercial production;
- risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates, interest rates and tax rates; and
- risks relating to Panoro's ability to raise funding to continue
its exploration, development and mining activities.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the
forward-looking information and statements contained in this news
release. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those described in the
