Target #7 Geophysical Results Demonstrate Potential Scale of High-grade Skarn Mineralization at the Cotabambas Copper/Gold/Silver Project, Peru

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 27, 2026) - Panoro Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PML) (BVL: PML) (FSE: PZM) (OTCQB: POROF) ("Panoro" or the "Company") is pleased to report the results from the geophysical surveys at Target #7 where multiple high-grade skarn mineralization outcrops (S1, S2 and S3) have been mapped at surface over a 4 km² area. Target #7 is located approximately 3.5 km to the west of the proposed North and South pits which contain the mineral resources included in the current Cotabambas mineral resources estimate. The geophysical signatures indicate the potential of the S2 surface outcropping skarn to extend vertically to depths exceeding 500 m along the contact with the Ferrobamba limestone unit (see Figures 1 and 2 below). The results also indicate that the width of the skarn mineralization increases from 50 m at surface to over 200 m at depth. S2 is located within an identified 1 km-long skarn corridor with the potential to extend further north (see Figure 3 below). Results from surface sampling from S2 are shown in the table below. Table 1: S2 Higher-grade Samples Sample Code Sample Size (mxm) Sample Weight (kg) %Cu Au ppm Ag ppm %Mo Description 14390 1 x 1 4.64 11.90 0.28 18.2 2 Pyroxene skarn (diopside) > Andradite Garnet. 14383 1 x 0.40 3.81 7.91 1.02 6.7 2 Andradite Garnet with Chalcopyrite, Magnetite. 14393 2 x 2 4.01 2.01 0.006 2.2 <1 Andradite Garnet, diopside, , massive quartz, chalcopyrite, iron and Cu Oxides.   Skarn outcrops S1 and S3 are located to the east of S2 as shown in Figure 2. They are mapped at surface with widths of approximately 10 m and situated along a skarn corridor of over 2 km in length. The geophysics survey signatures indicate the potential vertical continuity of S1 and S3 to over 250 m and 300 m, respectively, as shown in Figure 2. S1 and S3 skarns demonstrate near surface potential with reduced vertical continuity potential as compared to S2. Results from surface sampling at S1 and S3 are shown in the table below.

A total of 23 trenches between 100 m and 200 m in length are underway cutting across S1, S2 and S3. Following the completion of the trenching and sampling a drilling program to test the extensions along strike and depth will be completed. The drilling program currently envisions up to 17 drillholes of 300 m to 400 m in length across all three skarn corridors. Drilling will commence prior to the end of year and is funded from existing capital. "The results at Target #7 are revealing a significant new potential for the Cotabambas Project. The lithology, structural mapping and geophysics are revealing a geologic environment very comparable to large tonnage skarn mineralization mined at the nearby Las Bambas mine. With surface grades at up to 12% Cu this could add materially to the mineral inventory at Cotabambas. The proximity to surface would also result in important positive impacts to the mine plan and grade profile of the project," says Luquman Shaheen, President and CEO.
