The information contained in the Presentation (Information) is summary only and should be
read in conjunction with any other documents provided to you by the Company. The Information is current as at 21 September 2026 and the Company does not undertake to provide any additional or update information, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. By receiving the
Presentation, you acknowledge and represent to the Company that you have read, understood and accepted the terms of this disclaimer.
The Company has prepared the Presentation based on information available to it at the time of preparation. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the currency, accuracy, reliability, completeness or fairness of the information, opinions and conclusions contained in this Presentation. Tesoro, or
related bodies corporate, shareholders or affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents or advisers (Agents) guarantee or make any representations or warranties, express or implied, as to or take responsibility for, the currency, accuracy, reliability, completeness or fairness of the
information, opinions and conclusions contained in this Presentation. Tesoro does not represent or warrant that this Presentation is complete or that it contains all material information about Tesoro or which a prospective investor or purchaser may require in evaluating a possible investment in Tesoro or acquisition of
shares. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tesoro and its Agents expressly disclaim any and all liability, including, without limitation, any liability arising out of fault or negligence, for any loss arising from the use of information contained in this Presentation, or otherwise arising in connection with it.
Any forward-looking statements in this Presentation, including projections, forecasts and estimates, are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied on as an indication or guarantee of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, contingencies and other important
factors, many of which are outside the control of Tesoro and which are subject to change without notice and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Tesoro to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Past performance is
not necessarily a guide to future performance and recipients of this Presentation are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Production target: The production target referred to in this announcement is based on a combination of Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of
Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised. The Scoping Study is based on lower-level technical and economic assessments and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of economic development.
The information contained in this Presentation is for information purposes only, does not constitute investment or financial product advice (nor taxation, accounting or legal advice) and is not intended to be used as the basis for making an investment decision. In providing this Presentation, Tesoro has not considered the
objectives, financial position or needs of any particular recipients.

appropriate to their jurisdiction and circumstances.

In particular, this Presentation does not constitute an invitation or offer of securities for subscription, purchase or sale in the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such an offer would be illegal.

Testwork Confirms Bittern Wastewater
Delivers Strong Recoveries
• Aguas CAP Totoralillo desalination plant just 25km from
Ternera, with an MoU agreed for the supply of water to El Zorro.
• Advanced testwork using bittern wastewater delivered strong
gold recoveries and very low cyanide consumption.
• Alignment between process design and permitting requirements

Tailings Design Adopts Leading-Practice Management Principles
Why Dry Stack Tailings?
• Reduced operational and geotechnical risk through elimination of
conventional slurry storage.
• Improved water stewardship, reducing process water demand and
supporting operations in water-constrained environments.
• Enhanced environmental performance, including reduced seepage
potential and improved closure outcomes.
• Reduces risk over the life of the facility in a high seismic zone.
• Alignment with stakeholder and regulatory expectations as
industry standards continue to evolve.
• Supports long-term project resilience through lower lifecycle risk
and greater operational flexibility.
Advancing Dry-stack Tailings Storage Facility Engineering and Design for Life-of-project Requirements
Refer to ASX announcement dated 1 July 2026.
ADOPTING A DRY STACK TAILINGS DESIGN IS A DELIBERATE AND PROACTIVE, RISK-BASED APPROACH
THAT STRENGTHENS PROJECT CREDENTIALS AND AIDS DEVELOPMENT READINESS

CHILE HAS ADOPTED A DISTINCTLY PRO-
MINING APPROACH TO PERMITTING AND
APPROVALS
Environmental and Permitting Activities
Our Licence to Operate
Our Strategy is Guided by Our Deep In-country Experience and Sensitivity to People and the Environment
Health and Safety
Occupational Health and Safety are fundamental responsibilities Tesoro has towards its workforce. Our strategies and practices are
based on providing a safe workplace for all employees, suppliers and contractors.
Climate Change
Total GHG emissions on a $ per value basis for newly mined gold is significantly lower than that for other major metals and mined
products. Tesoro is committed to put in place a framework to ensure future mine developments are built and operated to support
global greenhouse mitigation targets.
Environment
Tesoro applies leading exploration techniques, technology and practices to promote drilling efficiency and minimise environmental
impacts. Furthermore, Tesoro is committed to continual improvement of its environmental performance through a robust
environmental management program.
People and Culture
Attracting, developing and retaining a diverse, inclusive and competent workforce is important to Tesoro and a key foundation to the
company's policies and practices.
Community Partnerships
Tesoro partners with the local and host communities of the Coastal Cordillera region of Chile to share value through the creation of
local jobs and business opportunities.
Economic Sustainability
Generating economic growth and value for all our investors, employees and stakeholders through successful exploration and
investment in the Coastal Cordillera region of Chile.
ALIGNED TO THE UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS WITH A COMMITMENT TO
ENSURING EXPLORATION AND OPERATIONAL ACTIVITIES GENERATE POSITIVE SUSTAINABILITY
