Tesoro Gold (ASX:TSO | OTCQB:TSORF) | CORPORATE PRESENTATION
This presentation and any accompanying verbal presentation (together the Presentation) are confidential and have been prepared by Tesoro Gold Limited (Tesoro or the Company) and approved by the Board of the Company.
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 3 November 2025 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. Before making an investment decision prospective investors should
consider the appropriateness of the information in this Presentation having regard to their own objectives, financial situation and needs, and seek legal, taxation and financial advice appropriate to their jurisdiction and
circumstances.
This Presentation is not a prospectus, product disclosure statement or other offer document under Australian law or any other law (and will not be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission or any other
foreign regulator) and is not, and does not constitute, an invitation or offer of securities for subscription, purchase or sale in any jurisdiction. 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. The securities referred to in this Presentation have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933 as amended or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly in the United States. The information in this Presentation is strictly
confidential. It may not be disclosed, reproduced, disseminated, quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, without the express consent of Tesoro.
