Ternera MRE Detail (2025)
We believe the Ternera Discovery is just the beginning. It was the first major target we drilled systematically across an almost 50km
mineralised belt and has already grown into a multi-million-ounce gold deposit. We find it difficult to believe that a district of this
scale and quality hosts only a single major discovery.

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.
Ternera Extensions Plus Near-Deposit Upside
• Additional extensional targets still to be drilled.
• Further drilling planned at priority proximate targets
including Drone Hill and Ternera East.
• Strong gold mineralisation recorded from surface.
• Extensional targets associated with same geological
system as Ternera – potential to connect and expand

The El Zorro Water Pathway is a Key Project Differentiator
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
reduces late-stage configuration and permitting risk.

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

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 OUTCOMES
