Palamina Corp. completed its second field program in the Sol de Oro Zone ("SDO") at the Usicayos Gold Project in December 2022. Palamina acquired the SDO Zone in June of last year.

At Usicayos a 4.5 km mineralized gold trend has been defined made up of the southwestern SDO Zone, central Cayos Zone and northeastern Veta Zone. Six drill holes were completed in the Veta Zone in 2021 and 2022. The Cayos and SDO zones have never been drilled.

Palamina has scheduled these zones for drill testing later this year. At Usicayos, each of the major gold mineralized zones is hosted in Ananea Formation shales and mudstones and controlled by shear zones in a flower structure pattern developed by regional thrusting. The structure at the SDO Zone is currently the widest section identified on the property, with an approximate 1.5 km width versus the 0.25 km width drill tested at the Veta Zone.

Gold mineralization is found on both sides of the structure and mineralization dips steeply towards the centre. Four mineralized gold systems have been identified at SDO that are structurally well defined and continuous at surface, three at SDO South and one at SDO North. During the second mapping and sampling campaign 342 samples were taken of which 17 were underground channel samples.

This program was primarily made up of channel samples designed to test the continuity of gold mineralization at surface across the SDO North and SDO South zones. Sampling was undertaken with a channel saw where permitted by outcrop profile (approximately 30%) and by hammer and chisel at the remaining locations. Detailed geological mapping and sampling have located multiple, stacked, well- mineralized shears marked by variably spaced quartz veins surrounded by lower grade haloes.

At the SDO North zone, geological mapping and sampling has identified two significant shear structures. Surveying and underground channel sampling were carried out within a number of accessible historic adits driven at various elevations into the hillside, following or crosscutting gold bearing quartz vein structures. Select results from surface and underground channel samples were returned as follows: Palamina's latest geological campaign ended in mid-December 2022 at the start of the rainy season.

Palamina is intending to resume exploration work in April of 2023 where further geological mapping and follow up systematic underground sampling is planned. The man portable diamond drill remains at site in the Veta zone ~300 east of the Cayos zone on the next ridge over to the northwest. Palamina has submitted an application to modify the existing environmental permit (DIA) in order to carry out a drill program in the Cayos and Sol de Oro zones.

Mexico, Chile and Peru are the most democratic countries in Latin America with significant foreign investments in their mining industries. The recent Presidential change in Peru is a step towards returning to a more democratic process. Peru is a top global producer of copper, silver and gold and host many of the critical metals that have a bright future ahead as the world moves from combustion to electrification.
