The Coastal Cordillera region is host to multiple world class copper and gold mines, has well established infrastructure, service providers and an experienced mining workforce. Large areas of the Coastal Cordillera remain unexplored due to the unconsolidated nature of mining concession ownership, but Tesoro, via its in-country network and experience has been able secure rights to a district scale gold project in-line with the Company’s strategy. Tesoro’s 95% owned Chilean Subsidiary owns 85% of the El Zorro Gold Project. 1 +61 8 9322 1587 | info@tesororesources.com.au | Suite 5, 62 Ord Street, West Perth WA 6005 | www.tesororesources.com.au Developing El Zorro Chile’s Newest Gold Discovery Investor Presentation September 2021 Disclaimer This presentation and any accompanying verbal presentation (together the Presentation) are confidential and have been prepared by Tesoro Resources Limited (Tesoro or the Company) and approved by the Board of the Company.

Economic Sustainability Generating economic growth & value for all our investors, employees & stakeholders through successful exploration & investment in the Coastal Cordillera region of Chile. TESORO RESOURCES (ASX:TSO) | CORPORATE PRESENTATION UN SDG 12 Appendix 2: Why Chile 1) Low Sovereign Risk: Chile has a population of >19 million people, one of South America’s most stable & prosperous nations, enabling the country to significantly reduce poverty. Chile’s GDP is expected to rebound to 5.5% in 2021 (1), on the back of government stimulus & a rapid COVID-19 vaccination rollout (one of the best in South America). 2) Extremely Low Corruption: Chile ranks in the top quartile of countries in Transparency International’s 2020 Corruption Index, equal with the United States of America. 3) Supportive Government Policy Towards Mining: Mining is a major driver of the Chilean economy, contributing to more than 50% of Chile’s exports & 9% of GDP. The Fraser Institute’s 2020 (2) annual survey ranked Chile as the best country in South America for mining exploration investment based on public policy factors such as tax rates & regulation. 4) Significant Mineral Endowment: As the top producer of both copper & iodine in the world, Chile is also home to several other highly valuable natural resources including molybdenum, selenium, rhenium, nitrates, iron ore, lithium & of course precious metals such as gold. Most of the world’s largest mining companies operate in Chile.

Selection of the cut-off has considered results of metallurgical testing (ASX release 9 June 2020). The applied cut-off has been reviewed against that reported from peer projects with similar mineralisation styles and proposed processing options & is considered comparable. Pit Optimisation Parameters • It must be noted that the optimisation pit shell provided was for the purpose of constraining the Resource model only and is NOT an economic assessment of an open pit mining operation at El Zorro or indicates the economic gold price required for potential future mining at El Zorro. • The optimization was completed to delineate the portion of the Resource estimate that could potentially be mined by an open pit at some time in the future. The pit optimization was based on certain assumptions that are considered at to be preliminary & have a high degree of uncertainty. The purpose of the optimization is to provide a constraint around the resource with some explained economic parameters. • The gold price selected for the pit optimization was based on cut-off grade calculations using the conceptual cost, recovery and dilution inputs as outlined above, to match the geological cut off grade in the Mineral Resource Estimate. A gold price of US2,500/oz provides an estimated cut off grade for an optimized pit shell of approximately 0.3g/t Au, in line with the Mineral Resource cut-off grade. 14 Tesoro Resources Limited Suite 5, 62 Ord Street West Perth, WA 6005 Phone: +61 8 9322 1587 Email: info@tesororesources.com.au Web: www.tesororesources.com.au
