London, December 13th, 2024. 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 recent 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, communications as
well as a large exploration camp.
Pepas
The Pepas Prospect is in the
northern extent of the Anzá Project (pre-acquisition) over 10km
north of the central base at APTA (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Anzá Project
- prospects
Post completion of the transaction
to buy its previous JV partner, MMA, the Company began drilling at
the Pepas prospect in mid-November 2024.
Drilling commenced with hole PEP012,
which was positioned to confirm previous high-grade results in hole
PEP001, drilled by MMA in 2022.
Holes PEP013, 014 and 015 were then
rotated some 51 degrees eastward from PEP012 to begin to test what
was considered by the Company's geological teams to be the
controlling trend of SE to NW. As well as defining thick zones of
high-grade mineralisation, a target for these holes was a clearly
defined basement fault that seemed to act as a distinct marker bed
to define the trend.
Figure 2. Plan of
holes
PEP014 entered mineralised tuffs
just below surface, and continued in high grade mineralisation
until the basement fault was intersected at 75m. The hole was
terminated at 78m.
Figure 3. Section,
PEP014
Most of the length of PEP014 above the fault, was mineralised
with a composite intersection of 75.1m @ 5.58g/t Au being
calculated, from surface.

Discussion and ongoing drilling
Holes PEP013 through PEP015 all
intersected the basement fault roughly where expected, providing
substantial weight to the interpreted trend. Assays from Hole
PEP015 are currently with the lab for analysis.
Hole PEP016 is currently underway
and is directed on the same azimuth, but positioned some distance
to the SW, to test the mineralisation, overburden and structure
down dip (Figure 2).
Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
"Results from PEP014 continue the
story that there is something at Pepas. Work to date has been very
geologically focussed in trying to define trends and we now think
we have some inkling so we look forward to progressing our drill
programme and developing this picture."

excellent infrastructure including water, power, communications and
large exploration camp.
Qualified Persons Statement
The information in this news release
was compiled, reviewed and verified by Mr. Brad George, BSc Hons
(Geology and Geophysics), MBA, Member of the Australian Institute
of Geoscientists (MAIG), CEO of Orosur Mining Inc. and a qualified
person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Orosur Mining Inc. staff follow
standard operating and quality assurance procedures to ensure that
sampling techniques and sample results meet international reporting
standards.
Drill core is split in half over
widths that vary between 0.3m and 2m, depending upon the geological
domain. One half is kept on site in the Minera Anzá core storage
facility, with the other sent for assay.
Industry standard QAQC protocols are
put in place with approximately 10% of total submitted samples
being blanks, repeats or Certified Reference Materials
(CRMs).
Samples for holes PEP-001 to PEP-011
were sent to the Medellin preparation facility of ALS Colombia Ltd,
and then to the ISO 9001 certified ALS Chemex laboratory in Lima,
Peru.
Samples from PEP-012 onwards are sent
to Medellin laboratory of Actlabs for preparation and
assay.
30 gram nominal weight samples are
then subject to fire assay and AAS analysis for gold with
gravimetric re-finish for overlimit assays of >5 g/t.
ICP-MS Ultra-Trace level multi-element four-acid digest analyses
may also undertaken for such elements as silver, copper, lead and
zinc, etc.
Gold intersections are reported using
a lower cut-off of 0.3g/t Au over 3m.
