Orosur Mining Inc. - El Pantano, Argentina Update
-- Positive results from follow up soil sampling program at El Pantano confirms previous work.
-- High level gold in soils anomaly over 1km, plus pathfinder
elements over wider area, suggestive of a major epithermal
system.
London, June 28th, 2022. Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the
"Company") (TSX-V/AIM:OMI) , is pleased to announce positive assay
results from a follow up soil sampling program at the La Esfinge
prospect at El Pantano, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

As announced on May 3(rd) , 2022, field teams had returned to El
Pantano to complete a short infill program designed to add more
detail to the positive soil sampling results from the first pass
reconnaissance program undertaken in March 2022.
13 additional soil sampling lines were completed across the
western section of La Esfinge (Figure 4) and have returned highly
anomalous results, with gold in soil results up to 152ppb Au.

These results are highly encouraging in both scale and
composition. A geochemical anomaly has now been defined in detailed
over a strike length in excess of 1km (Figure 1), but open to both
east and west. This anomaly is also evident in a range of
additional pathfinder elements, such as would be expected from a
substantial epithermal system.
This work has now defined a high priority exploration target
which will be followed up after the winter recess which is expected
to last until early September.
El Pantano
The El Pantano project ("Project") is subject to an Exploration
& Joint Venture agreement ("Agreement") with private
Argentinean company DESEADO DORADO S.A.S and its shareholders
("Deseado").
The general terms of the Agreement allow for the Company to earn
100% equity in the Project by investing US$3m over five years in
two phases:
-- Phase 1, earn 51% by investing US$1m over an initial 3-year period.
-- Phase 2, move to 100% ownership by investing an additional
US$2m over a subsequent 2-year period and granting Deseado a
residual 2% net smelter return royalty on the Project.

Survey
This second pass program entailed 13 additional geochemical
survey lines at a nominal spacing of 120m, across the western end
of the La Esfinge silicified ridge.
The program was only small due to approaching winter and was
designed to better define the highest coarse scale anomalies that
had been previously defined by the first pass survey in March. It
was felt that such definition was important so as to gain a better
understanding of the potential of the prospect and allow for follow
up work to be planned over the winter break.
The same sampling techniques were employed as per the earlier
work in March.
Figure 4. Line plans, phases 1 and 2
The results of the program were extremely positive, with the
broad anomalous responses at the western end of La Esfinge being
confirmed, and much better defined.
While anomalous gold results are important, of equal importance
is the response from a range of pathfinder elements which are
generally more mobile. Multielement geochemical analysis of the
soil samples has confirmed good correlation between gold, and
anomalous responses from a suite of other elements such as Ag, As,
Bi, Cu, In, and Bi (Figure 5), that are suggestive as being derived
from an epithermal system.
Work at El Pantano has now ceased for the winter recess, which
in general would be expected to last until early September.
After this, the Company plans follow up work, which could
include additional geochemical analysis over a wider area, ground
magnetics, mapping, which if positive, could lead to a drilling
campaign in the medium term.

Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
"It is early days at El Pantano, but it is highly encouraging to
obtain such positive results from what is essentially an untouched
grass roots project. We look forward to returning after the winter,
but work so far has supported our strategy of carefully selecting
attractive earlier stage projects on the best possible terms."
