Chairman’s Letter
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Welcome to the 2020 and first Annual Report for Tesoro Resources Limited (ASX: TSO), reflecting a
successful first eight months as a publicly listed company. After listing on the ASX on 7 February 2020,
and, raising $4.63 million, your Company has achieved many important milestones on its path to
exploring and developing its flagship El Zorro Gold Project in Chile.
The team behind Tesoro Resources has worked diligently here in Australia and on site at the El Zorro
Gold Project in Chile, during one of the most challenging periods in global history and I am extremely
proud of the efforts of everyone involved. The listing on ASX represented an important phase following
three years of work and investment, to secure, explore and execute the exploration program that has
delivered outstanding results to date and I thank all shareholders who have supported us on the
journey so far. We believe there is much to come and I look forward to reporting that to you in due
course.
Following the Reverse Takeover (RTO) of ASX listed Plukka Limited by Tesoro Australia and associated
$4.63m capital raising at an issue price of $0.03 per share, the Company was fully funded to
commence the second phase of exploration at the El Zorro Gold Project in Chile. The initial drilling
programs which were completed pre-listing gave the Board the confidence that there was a
significant gold deposit across the El Zorro concessions and the first drilling program demonstrated
that potential. Early success at El Zorro allowed us to complete a subsequent capital raising via a
placement and entitlement offer, raising a further $5.89 million at an issue price 100% higher than the
RTO listing price, with an expanded exploration program now well underway. Consecutive drilling
programs continued to prove the Company’s confidence in the region and it has now become clear
that Tesoro Resources is delineating what looks like a large-scale gold deposit in the coastal Cordillera
region of Chile, close to infrastructure, a major regional city, access to water and personnel.
Our 2020 exploration program has been very aggressive and the results of the drilling programs wholly
support our strategy. The El Zorro Gold Project is made of five prospects namely; Ternera, Buzzard, Toro
Gordo, Drone Hill and Toro Blanco. Most of the drilling to date has focused on Ternera, including drilling
subsequent to the end of the financial year which has now confirmed mineralisation extends over
750m in length and more than 300m in depth. In fact, almost all drill holes to date at El Zorro’s Ternera
prospect have been mineralised. September 2020 drilling continues and at time of writing a wide 60m
interval of visible gold was reported in ZDDH00051 at Ternera and assays remain pending.
Mineralisation at El Zorro has been confirmed as a series of broad mineralised zones, and
mineralisation generally starts close to surface and extends down over 250m in most holes.
Metallurgical testwork has shown the mineralised material is free milling with gold recoveries up to
99%, another positive development for the project. With such an intense and successful series of drilling
programs, our geological team is beginning to understand the scale of El Zorro and we look forward
to continuing to explore the Ternera extensions. With historic and recent drilling results coming
together, Tesoro will likely be able to model a Maiden Resource in the first half of 2021, however as we
continue to find more gold, the model remains quite dynamic.
Operating under the COVID-19 restriction umbrella has been challenging both in terms of Chilean site
staff and contractors, assay logistics and reporting and domestic administration and operational
work. It is testament to all our teams at Tesoro Resources that the focus has been on exploring this
project and getting the job completed in a safe, compliant, and sustainable way. Our reputation for
our standards of operation are very important and this will continue to influence the way in which
Tesoro Resources goes about its business.

Chairman’s Letter
In closing, I would like to thank all shareholders for their confidence and positivity. I am sure you will all
share my enthusiasm for the ongoing and future exploration and development of what we are
understanding to be a significant gold project in South America and one that should continue to
provide reward to shareholders through its next phases. I would also like to thank our Managing
Director Zeff Reeves, for his tireless focus and our Board members and employees for their ongoing
support. We look forward to another successful year ahead.

Control gained over entities, basis of preparation and comparative information
Tesoro Resources Limited (formerly Plukka Limited) completed the acquisition of Tesoro Australia Limited
(“Tesoro Subsidiary”) on 29 January 2020 and relisted on the ASX on 7 February 2020. As a result of the
acquisition, the former shareholders of Tesoro Subsidiary effectively obtained control of the combined
entity. Accordingly, under the principles of the Australian Accounting Standard AASB3 Business
Combinations, Tesoro Subsidiary was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in this transaction. The
acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition by which Tesoro Subsidiary acquired the
net assets and listing status of Tesoro Resources Limited (formerly Plukka Limited).
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of Tesoro Resources Limited have been prepared
as a continuation of the business and operations of Tesoro Subsidiary. As the deemed acquirer, Tesoro
Subsidiary has accounted for the acquisition of Tesoro Resources Limited from 29 January 2020. The
comparative information (pcp) for the year ended 30 June 2019 presented in the consolidated
financial statements are that of Tesoro Resources Limited (formerly Plukka Limited). Where necessary,
comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current period
disclosures. Most of the accounting policies have changed from those of the former Plukka Limited to
those of the Tesoro Subsidiary.
Dividends
No dividends were paid or declared since the start of the financial year. No recommendations for
payment of dividends has been made.

Review of Operations
On the 3 October 2019, the Company announced it had entered into a Share Purchase Agreement
(SPA) to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Tesoro Australia Limited (Tesoro) (previously Tesoro
Resources Limited), a Chilean gold exploration company with a focus on its flagship El Zorro Gold
Project (El Zorro Project).
The acquisition of Tesoro by the Company represented an opportunity to acquire an interest in a highly
prospective gold exploration project located within the Coastal Cordillera of Chile, and subject to
satisfaction of a number of conditions, facilitate the reinstatement of the Company to the Official List
of ASX. The Company subsequently satisfied the conditions, which included a public offer raising of
$4.6 million in January 2020 and was successfully re-admitted to the Official List of ASX on 7 February
2020.
Following the Company’s successful completion of the acquisition of Tesoro, the Board and
management of the Company were refreshed to bolster the new phase of operations as a gold
exploration company. As part of the refresh, Messrs Zeffron Reeves and Geoffrey McNamara,
experienced geologists and mining executives, with a focus on international projects were appointed
to the Board as Managing Director and Non-Executive Director respectively.
Under the new management, the Company has focussed its efforts on delineating gold resources at
the El Zorro Project, where a comprehensive drilling program continues to demonstrate the scale and
quality of the project.
El Zorro Gold Project
The El Zorro Project area consists of approximately 10,000 hectares of granted concessions and is ideally
located just 130km by road from the city of Copiapo in Region III, northern Chile and 57km by road
from the port town of Caldera. The Company, via its 95% owned Chilean subsidiary, Tesoro Mining Chile
SpA has a 70% interest in the El Zorro Project, with the right to increase to an 80% interest subject to
certain payment and project development milestones, as set out in the ASX announcement on 23
March 2020.
Tesoro has identified five highly prospective prospects at El Zorro, namely, Ternera, Buzzard, Toro Gordo,
Drone Hill and Toro Blanco. Drilling has been conducted at the Ternera prospect only.
Immediately following its readmission to the ASX, the Company commenced a drilling program at the
El Zorro Project with an initial 10 hole diamond drilling campaign at the Ternera Prospect. On 6 March
2020, the Company announced that exceptional wide, high-grade gold assay results had been
received for part of hole ZDDH00017, the first drill hole of the initial 10 hold drilling program. Final assays
7|P a g e

were received early March 2020 (ASX Announcement 12 March 2020) for hole ZDDH00017, which
intercepted 86.45m @ 2.29g/t Au, with a higher-grade zone returning 50.50m @ 3.63 g/t Au.
Up until the end of the reporting period, the Company continued its drilling campaign at the Ternera
Prospect, with a total of 11 drill holes completed for 2,855.30m. Assay results were received for all 11
holes with all returning highly encouraging results. Wide high-grade assay results were returned from
several drill holes, with multiple high-grade gold intersections associated with the CC500 fault.

2020).

Tesoro Resources Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2020
The CC500 fault zone is one of several, high-grade gold bearing structures cross cutting the El Zorro
Tonalite (EZT) controlling gold mineralisation at the Ternera Prospect. Gold mineralisation within the
CC500 has been intersected in multiple diamond drill holes and has currently been defined by drilling
over 180m of its strike, is typically between 20m and 80m wide, with drill intercepts within the high-grade
zone ranging between 3.00g/t Au and 7.50g/t Au, with grades up to 56.20g/t having been
encountered.
The high-grade mineralisation occurs within a broad lower grade envelope up to 200m wide, with gold
grades between 0.50g/t and 1.50g/t defined by drilling and surface sampling.
Ternera Prospect drilling underway
Post the end of the period, the Company announced on 3 July 2020 the commencement of a further
drilling program at the Ternera Prospect, with two diamond drill rigs undertaking infill and extensional
drilling. Given the encouraging results from the previous drilling campaign, the Company intends to
undertake the further drilling to delineate the Ternera deposit through an initial 20 holes for
approximately 5,000m of drilling.
Channel Sampling Results
In May 2020, Tesoro announced additional surface assay results for controlled outcrop channel
sampling at the El Zorro Project, which identified wide zones of surface gold mineralisation associated
with the CC350 and CC450 faults, and confirmed and extended previous results from the Toro Gordo
Prospect. The proven gold mineralisation at the Ternera and Toro Gordo Prospects now extends for
over 1.5km of strike, with only approximately 700m of strike having been tested by drilling.
The results of this channel sampling significantly increase the known gold footprint at the Ternera
Prospect, as well as confirm the occurrence of high-grade gold zones controlled by the CC structures.

Figure 2 – Ternera Channel Sampling Results (refer ASX Announcement 13 May 2020)
In late June 2020, Tesoro reported channel and rock chip sampling results from the Buzzard Prospect,
2km south of the Ternera Prospect which confirms the Buzzard Prospect as an emerging new gold
target and forming part of the El Zorro gold mineralised system (which incorporates the Buzzard, Toro
Gordo, Ternera, Drone Hill and Toro Blanco Prospects), that has now been identified for over 5km in
length.
Results indicate that Buzzard is a large gold bearing vein system identified over an area approximately
1,100m long and 750m wide – open in all directions, with individual mineralised veins up to 250m long
identified (Figure 3).

Metallurgical testwork results
In June 2020, Tesoro announced results of initial metallurgical testwork conducted on 50kg of
mineralised, fresh rock material from the Ternera Prospect at the El Zorro Project. The initial metallurgical
testwork indicated that material was free milling with gold recoveries up to 99%.
The work completed consisted of cyanide leach tests, gravity recovery testwork and determination of
bond work index (hardness) testwork. The work was carried out by ALS Laboratories Pty Ltd (Perth) and
results reviewed and interpreted by Mintrex Pty Ltd.
Gold recoveries reported were 94% at 250 µm grind size and 99% at 75µm grind size. The results also
demonstrated the material is amenable to gravity concentration, with 55% to 75% of the gold reporting
to the gravity concentration at various grind sizes.
Mintrex Pty Ltd who is engaged as Tesoro’s metallurgical and process engineering consultant, has
reviewed the results and will advise on future metallurgical testwork programs and flowsheet design.
The Company intends to implement the recommendations provided by Mintrex for a detailed
metallurgical testwork program testing both transitional and fresh ore types of high and low gold grade
domains.
Espina Gold Project
As announced on 6 April 2020, in late 2019, prior to the Company’s re-admission to the ASX, a detailed
mapping and sampling program was undertaken at the Espina Gold Project (Espina Project) to assess
previously identified gold mineralisation along the Puertelera and Infernillio structures. A total of 130
rock chip, channel samples and 441 soil samples were collected.
Results delineated zones of strong gold mineralisation along the Puertelera structure and a large gold
in soil anomaly at the northern end of the Infernillio Structure at Dona Clara.
In May 2020, Tesoro made the decision to terminate the Espina Option Agreement, pursuant to which
the Company’s 95%-owned subsidiary, Tesoro Chile Mining SpA, had the right to earn up to a 100%
interest in the Espina Project.
Exploration at the Espina Project was negatively impacted by strict lockdown restrictions in response
to COVID-19, which were imposed in late March 2020 and affected the Company’s ability to carry out
exploration activities to meet certain Stage 1 project expenditure commitments as part of the Espina
Option Agreement. The Board resolved to terminate the Espina Option Agreement to avoid incurring
any further costs associated with holding the project or administering the JV while uncertainty around
COVID-19 restrictions in the Santiago Metropolitan Region remained.
COVID-19 impact
All the Company’s staff and contractors, including those on site at the El Zorro Project in Chile are safe.
The Company has implemented procedures to ensure all staff and contractors remain safe and
healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic, including regular testing, altered rosters and strict
quarantining procedures. As at the date of this report, the Company’s operations at the El Zorro Project
have not been directly affected by COVID-19 restrictions in Chile, however the Company continues to
monitor this closely with the health and wellbeing of all staff and contractors priority.
Corporate
Prior to the completion of the acquisition of Tesoro Australia Limited in January 2020, the Company,
formerly known as Plukka Limited, sought Shareholder approval at its 2019 AGM for a number of
corporate transactions, including the consolidation of capital on a 15:4 basis; change of Company
name to Tesoro Resources Limited (from Plukka Limited) and various share issues, to facilitate the readmission of the Company on ASX.
The Company was successfully re-admitted to the Official List of the ASX on 7 February 2020, following
completion of the acquisition and a successful public offer capital raising of $4.63 million. Following re-
