HIGHLIGHTS

Exceptional thick gold mineralisation from surface at Tesorito demonstrates large scale potential

  • Exceptionally wide gold intercept returned from Los Cerros’ first diamond hole (TS-DH08) at the southern Tesorito anomaly - Colombia

  • TS-DH08 returned 230m @ 1.0g/t gold from surface (uncut)[1] including[2] –

  • 18m @ 2.0g/t Au from surface including 6m @ 4.1g/t Au from 6m; and

  • 116m @ 1.38 g/t Au from 114m including

    • 74m @ 1.6g/t Au from 114m including 4m @ 3.18 g/t Au from 148, and 2m @ 9.58g/t Au from 176m within 6m @ 4.86 g/t Au from 174m
  • Gold mineralisation exceeding 1g/t Au now demonstrated by three separate diamond holes to exceed 230m downhole thickness, over an area of 300m x 250m, and remaining open in all directions. Previously announced results include[3]

  • 384m @ 1.01g/t from 16m incl 29.3m @ 1.9g/t Au from 136.75m in TS-DH02; and

  • 253.1m @ 1.01g/t Au from 2.9m incl 64m @ 1.67g/t Au from 144m in TS-DH07

  • Assays support interpretation of the cap of the porphyry core at the southern anomaly starting from around 100-150m below surface

  • Significant new development is the presence of primary bornite, banded veining and anomalous copper, indications of increased potential for copper mineralisation to develop at depth

  • Emerging evidence of scale and continuity of both near surface high grade epithermal and deeper porphyry style mineralisation

  • Current Hole TS-DH09 exploring untested northern Tesorito anomaly currently at 329m depth

  • The drill rig then to be moved back to the southern anomaly to further develop epithermal and porphyry strike and depth extensions

Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) (Los Cerros or the Company) , is very pleased to advise that Tesorito hole TS-DH08, the first hole of the Company’s current expanded drilling program, has delivered a promising start to the campaign. First assay results have confirmed the encouraging results of previous drill holes TS-DH02 and TS-DH07 located either side of the recently completed hole (Figures 1 and 2), and further demonstrate the potential for both deeper extensions of gold-copper porphyry and near surface high grade epithermal gold.

1 Includes values below 0.1 g/t Au intervals which occur in isolated intervals of up to 4m length. Maximum value was 9.58 g/t Au over 2m

2 Using a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut-off off and maximum 6m internal dilution for gold. All widths quoted are intercept widths, not true widths, as there is insufficient information at this stage of exploration to know the geometries within the system 3 See ASX announcements of 31 July 2018 and 30 August 2018 for the initial reporting of the assays for drill holes TS-DH01 to TS-DH07. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information that affects the information contained in the announcements

Hole TS-DH08 (Annexure 1) entered mineralisation immediately at surface with 18m @ 2.0g/t Au including an interval of 6m @ 4.1g/t Au from 6m correlating to a mapped epithermal vein. Porphyry mineralisation with epithermal vein overprinting continued for 230m down hole before altered country rock was encountered from 277m to end of hole at 325.5m.

Of particular note, the drill hole is interpreted to have entered the cupola (porphyry cap) of the potassic core at 110m (see Photo 1) as evidenced by banded veining, UST[4] textures and the presence of primary bornite, a copper mineral classically associated with porphyry gold-copper deposits (Photo 2), all suggesting strong assay results in this zone. This was subsequently validated with intercepts of 4m @ 3.18g/t Au from 148m and 6m @ 4.8g/t Au from 174m including 2m @ 9.58g/t Au from 176m, all within 116m @ 1.38g/t Au from 114m. The potassic altered core is interpreted to be the cause of the magnetic anomaly.

Down hole thicknesses exceeding 230m of gold mineralisation of 1g/t or above, essentially from surface, have now been described in three drill holes over an area of 300m x 250m. Whilst a general NNE trend to the mineralised porphyry is likely, the 3D geometry of the porphyry system is yet to be determined. The next Tesorito drill holes (after the current TS-DH09) will focus on determining its strike, width and depth continuity.

Los Cerros’ Managing Director Jason Stirbinskis commented:

“This is a highly encouraging start to the drill campaign as it not only provides a sense of near-surface porphyry mineralised volume given similar results of nearby holes, but has also hinted to further potential at depth. Primary bornite is a copper rich mineral species, its presence, based on visual logs, correlates to elevated copper in assays and has raised the possibility of more copper occurrences as we chase depth extensions in subsequent drilling. In this regard, it is interesting to note that TS-DH02 recorded an intersection near end of hole, of 35m grading 0.19% Cu from 365.5m downhole including 0.7m at 2.63% Cu from 390.8m downhole depth[3] , some 90m deeper than the depth of TS-DH08. Similarly, we cannot rule out the presence of another porphyry pulse enriched in copper below our current drilling.

The 18m intersection grading 2.0g/t Au from surface including 6m @ 4.1g/t Au also provides encouragement to further pursue the east-west trending epithermal veins for high grade gold resources to supplement existing resources and reserves at the nearby Miraflores deposit.

The presence of banded veins, UST textures and primary bornite are typical of the core of many porphyry copper gold deposits including the multi-million ounce Nuevo Chaquiro[5] deposit located 51km to our north, where both our Senior Geologists have worked”.

Nuevo Chaquiro, held by AngloGold Ashanti, is a globally significant gold/copper porphyry hosted in the same Mid-Cauca porphyry belt as the Company’s Andes Project and the Quinchia Project of which Tesorito is a part (see AngloGold Ashanti 2019 annual report for details of the project) .

The drill rig is currently drilling hole TS-DH09 to test the northern Tesorito target located 200m north of hole TS-DH08, where a previously undrilled zone of anomalous gold and molybdenum in soils

4 Unidirectional Solidification Texture (UST) is characteristic of the cupola and represents the level of emplacement in the porphyry dyke

5 Nuevo Chaquiro has a M+Ind+Inf resource of 602Mt containing 7Moz Au grading 0.37g/t and 4.39Mt Cu grading 0.73%. Sourced from AngloGold Ashanti 2019 Annual Report, information has not been independently verified

occurs concurrent with a magnetic high (refer Figure 1)[6] . The rig will then return to the southern target to further test extensions to the higher-grade porphyry core both laterally and at depth.

About Los Cerros and the Quinchia Project

Los Cerros Limited is a gold/copper explorer with a dominant position within the Andes and Quinchia regions of the Mid-Cauca Gold belt of Colombia which hosts many major discoveries (Figure 3). The Quinchia Project hosts the Miraflores Gold Deposit with a Resource of 877,000 Au ounces at 2.80g/t Au and Reserve of 457,000 Au ounces at 3.29g/t Au[7] . Within 3km of Miraflores is the Tesorito near surface porphyry where the Company is currently drilling and the Chuscal target where a maiden drilling program was completed January 2020 and drilling is scheduled to re-commence in October 2020. There are several other targets within the region including the Dosquebradas deposit which has an Inferred Resource of 459,000 ounces grading 0.71g/t Au[8] .

Located 70km to the north of Quinchia, the Andes Project is a large, cohesive and substantially underexplored tenement package of international significance in the Mid-Cauca Gold Belt with only ~10% of the land parcel explored with modern techniques. To date over 14,000 surface and rock chip samples have been collected to define multiple vein hosted and porphyry targets including the Gibraltar porphyry copper/gold target just 22km from, and in the same porphyry belt, as AngloGold Ashanti’s Nuevo Chaquiro deposit.

After logging and definition of sample intervals by the geologist, the marked
core is cut in half using a diamond saw in a specially designed facility on site.
All core is cut and sampled. The standard sample interval is 2m but may be
varied by the geologist to reflect lithology, alteration or mineralization
variations.

As appropriate, all half or quarter core generated for a specific sample interval
is collected and bagged. The other half of the core remains in the core box as
a physical archive.

The large size (4-8kg) of individual samples and continuous sampling of the
drill hole, provides representative samples for exploration activities.

The interpretation of surface mapping and sampling relies on correlating
isolated points of information that are influenced by factors such as weathering,
accessibility and sample representativity. This impacts on the reliability of
interpretations which are strongly influenced by the experience of the geologic
team. Structures, lithologic and alteration boundaries based on surficial
information are interpretations based on the available data and will be refined
as more data becomes available during the exploration program.

It is only with drilling, that provides information in the third dimension, that the
geologic model can be refined.

•Artisanal gold production was most significant from the Miraflores mines during
the 1950s. Interest was renewed in the area in the late 1970s. In the 1980s the
artisanal mining cooperative "Asociación de Mineros de Miraflores" (AMM) was
formed.
•In 2000, the Colombian government's geological division, INGEOMINAS, with
the permission of the AMM, undertook a series of technical studies at
Miraflores, which included geological mapping, geochemical and geophysical
studies, and non-JORC compliant resource estimations.
•In 2005, Sociedad Kedahda S.A. (Kedahda), now called AngloGold Ashanti de
Colombia S.A., a subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti Ltd., entered into an
exploration agreement with the AMM, and carried out exploration including
diamond drilling in 2005 to 2007 at Miraflores, completing 1,414.75m.
•In 2007 Kedahda optioned the project to B2Gold Corp. (B2Gold), which carried
out exploration including additional diamond drilling from 2007 to 2009.
B2Gold made a NI 43-101 technical study of the Miraflores Project in 2007.
•On 24 March 2009, B2Gold advised the AMM that it had decided not to make
further option payments and the property reverted to AMM under the terms of
the option agreement.
•Seafield signed a sale-purchase contract with AMM to acquire a 100% interest
in the Mining Contract on 16 April 2010.
•Seafield completed the payments to acquire 100% of rights and obligations on
the Miraflores property in 30 November 2012. AMM stopped the artisanal
exploitation activities in the La Cruzada tunnel on the same date, 30
November 2012 and transferred control of the mine to Seafield.
•Since June 2010, Seafield drilled 63 drillholes for a total of 22,259m on the
Miraflores Project adjacent to Tesorito.
•The initial exploration undertaken by Seafield at Tesorito in 2012 and 2013
included systematic geological mapping, rock and soil sampling, followed by
trenching within the area of anomalous Au and Cu in soils.
•Seafield commissioned an Induced Polarisation (IP) survey over the Tesorito
Prospect in August 2012 and undertook a three-hole diamond drilling program
for a total of 1,150.5m in 2013.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
•The Tesorito area is underlain mainly by fine to coarse grained, intrusive
porphyritic rocks of granodioritic to dioritic composition, which intrude an
andesite porphyry body of the Miocene Combia formation, Tertiary sandstones
and mudstones of the Amaga Formation, as well as basaltic rocks of the

by quartz-sericite and sericite-chlorite alteration. NNE to EW faulting controls
the intrusive emplacement and mineralization, including faulting of contacts
between the rock units. The depth of sulphide oxidation observed in the drill
holes is approximately 20m.
•Gold, copper and molybdenite observed in the intrusive rocks is typical of Au-
Cu-Mo rich porphyry deposit; mineralisation occurs as sulphides and magnetite
in disseminations as well as in veinlets and stockworks of quartz. Pyrite,
chalcopyrite and molybdenite have been recognised.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
•No metal equivalent values have been stated.
•Quoted intervals use a weighted average compositing method of all assays
within the interval. Uncut intervals include: values below 0.1 g/t Au which occur
in isolated intervals of up to 4m length; and a maximum value of 9.58 g/t Au
over 2m.
•Other intervals use a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut-off and maximum 6m internal dilution
for gold.
•No cut of high grades has been done.
•All widths quoted are intercept widths, not true widths, as there is insufficient
information at this stage of exploration to know the geometries within the
