Metalero Discusses the Geological Similarities Between the San Cristobal East and San Cristobal South Projects with the Known Mineralization of the San Cristobal Region

Metalero Mining Corp. has released detailed geological analysis for its newly acquired San Cristobal East (SCE) and San Cristobal South (SCS) projects in western Bolivia. The combined land package covers 230 square kilometers (23,000 hectares). SCE is located approximately 5 km east of the San Cristobal Mine, while SCS is situated approximately 40 km southwest of the mine and approximately 6 km east of the Isidorito prospect.

The release highlights structural and magmatic parallels to the San Cristobal Mine, including proximity to the Uyuni Fault System, permeable tuffs and conglomerates acting as fluid pathways, and similar magmatic and volcanic rock ages ranging from 6.27 Ma to 7.6 Ma. Regional context notes that the San Cristobal Mine produces approximately 38 million silver equivalent ounces annually at an all-in sustaining cost of approximately $17 USD per ounce AISC, with exploration extending the mine life potential to 2050. Infrastructure is noted as favorable, with Uyuni city, located 75 km to the north, providing road access, logistics, and an international airport.

Metalero Mining Corp. (MLO) announced the acquisition of the SCE and SCS projects on May 20, 2026. The July 7 release serves as a technical follow-up, providing geological justification for the land package. The information is considered expected and incremental, validating management's thesis that the area shares critical epithermal and structural characteristics with a world-class silver producer.

No new financial metrics, drill results, or financing terms were introduced in the release. The market was already aware of the geological targeting strategy from the May acquisition and subsequent exploration plans. The release reinforces the exploration narrative but does not alter the company's near-term cash requirements or operational milestones.

Metalero Mining Corp. (MLO) holds a 173 km² land package at the Benson Project in the Quesnel Trough of British Columbia, a region known for its prolific copper-gold porphyry belt. The company has identified five targets—Cantin, Sundberg, Chiaz, Bollos, and Pinnacle—using artificial intelligence, all of which have returned copper and gold soil anomalies. This asset is currently in the early-stage exploration phase, focusing on soil sampling.

In Bolivia, the company controls a 230 km² land package comprising the San Cristobal East and South properties. These holdings are adjacent to the San Cristobal Mine and the Isidorito prospect, with target commodities including silver, lead, zinc, and copper. Exploration at these sites is in the greenfield stage, involving initial soil and geophysical work.

The company is led by CEO Rob L'Heureux (P.Geol.) and Chairman James Greig (P.Geol.), who are focused on grassroots exploration within underexplored jurisdictions.
