September 2021 Quarterly Report

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drilling at Tesorito South porphyry discovery continues to deliver high grade gold zones within outstanding wide gold mineralised intercepts. Porphyry mineralisation remains open in every lateral direction tested

  • Drilling commenced at new Ceibal porphyry target ~1km from Tesorito. Extensive porphyry gold mineralisation intersected

  • Regional target generation program identifies multiple targets for further investigation

  • Deep penetrating IP over priority area complete and drone aero-magnetic surveys of entire Quinchia project area making good progress

  • $20M capital raising completed, anchored by lead orders from two major North American institutional investors and well supported by Australian, Asian and UK institutions.

Los Cerros Limited (ASX: LCL) (Los Cerros or the Company) continues to experience significant exploration success at its 100% owned Quinchia Gold Project in Risaralda – Colombia. During the quarter, drilling at Tesorito South porphyry delivered more exceptional drill results with mineralisation expanding in every lateral direction tested. The first two holes ever drilled at the Ceibal porphyry target delivered extensive gold mineralisation from surface. Four rigs were in continuous operation during the quarter and substantial early-stage field and geophysics programs were undertaken. The Company raised ~AUD$20M during the quarter and in the process welcomed two major North America institutional investors, each taking a ~5% position in LCL. At the end of the Quarter the Company had $23.4 million in cash at bank, boosted by the capital raise and exercise of share options.

Tesorito drilling extends gold envelopes northward

The quarter’s Tesorito South drill program focussed primarily on step-out drilling broadly testing northern extensions to modelled gold envelopes. Assay results for a total of six holes for 2,266m of diamond drilling was reported during the quarter with all drill core delivering substantial lengths of gold mineralisation[1] .

Drill holes TS-DH24, ’25, ’26, ’29 and ’30 were drilled as a radiating pattern from the same pad located NE of the main area of earlier focus (Figure 1). All five holes intercepted high grade surface gold interpreted to be where the porphyry core reaches surface. This bodes well for potential project economics which could access near surface high grade gold in critical early production years. Results include[1] :

  • 36m @ 3.31g/t Au within 378m @ 1.03g/t Au from surface in TS-DH24 (announced previous quarter);

  • 24.3m @ 2.69g/t Au from surface within 330.3m @ 0.99g/t Au from surface in TS-DH25;

  • 10.0m @ 2.13g/t Au from 2m within 158.0m @ 1.42g/t Au from surface in TS-DH26;

  • 33.4m @ 2.51g/t Au from 2.6m within 107.6m @ 1.1g/t Au from surface in TS-DH29; and

  • 27.7m @ 1.94g/t Au from 6m within 144m @ 1.2g/t Au from 6m in TS-DH30.

Drill hole TS-DH27 was a ~120m NE step out from the common pad described above. The drill hole entered porphyry suite lithologies from 35m thus defining the near-surface eastern edge of mineralisation in this area.

The drill hole exited the porphyry system at 333m downhole after intersecting the following zones of elevated gold[1] :

36m @ 1.01g/t Au from 116m; and

  • 72m @ 1.00g/t Au from 188m; including 6m @ 2.05g/t Au from 254m in TS-DH27.

Drill hole TS-DH28 was a step out of approximately 100m to the north of the common pad. After passing a previously encountered, lower grade intermineral diorite pulse from surface to 137m, drilling then encountered the targeted early diorite and delivered a very wide intercept of 280m @ 0.83g/t Au starting from 148m including 116m @ 1.17g/t Au from 148m[1] .

First Ceibal holes intersect extensive porphyry gold mineralisation

The first two holes drilled at Ceibal, the Company’s new porphyry target, located less than 1km to the southwest of the Tesorito South porphyry (Figure 3), delivered low to moderate grade gold and persistent porphyry signature pathfinders over the entire core lengths (Figure 2). Results include[2] : CEDDH01: 500m @ 0.52g/t Au from surface including:

  • 72.0m @ 0.78g/t Au from surface including 24.0m @ 0.95g/t Au from 42m, and

  • CEDDH02: 586m @ 0.51g/t Au from surface including:

  • 52.0m @ 0.81g/t Au from 176m

  • 14.1m @ 1.02g/t Au from 572.5m to end of hole.

This very encouraging start to investigating a new target provides further evidence of the Marmato Fault Corridor being a highly prospective region for the emplacement of significant gold porphyry systems. The Company has completed a further four drill holes at Ceibal with assays pending at the date of this report.

Target generation program identifies multiple targets for investigation

An extensive target generation program described in the Company’s ASX announcement of 11 May 2021 has generated multiple additional porphyry and epithermal gold targets at Quinchia (Figure 3). During the quarter, the Company expanded the technical team to form a dedicated target generation team to methodically investigate and evaluate mapping and sampling programs at the target areas. An IP geophysics program was completed near the end of the quarter. The regional drone aeromagnetic survey remains in progress across much of Quinchia, however, the region overlapping the recently completed deep penetrating IP is completed.

Progressing final submissions for mining approvals at Miraflores

Los Cerros continues to progress the final elements of submissions for granting of mining approvals at Miraflores. The submissions conform to the key parameters and design generated in the 2017 Miraflores DFS[3] which describes a longhole open stope with backfill underground mining operation feeding a 1,300tpd conventional float-CIL plant. Whilst most technical elements of the submission are in place, community

consultation inputs have been delayed by Covid restrictions preventing community meetings and similar. The Company anticipates completion of final submissions before the end of the year.

$20M capital raise welcomes North American institutions to LCL

In July 2021 the Company raised of AUD$20,190,000 via private placement to professional and sophisticated investors welcomed two high profile North American gold funds which collectively invested approximately $10 million in the placement. Joining them were a number of institutional and high net worth investors from Australia, UK, and Asia, as well as existing professional and sophisticated shareholders. The Company received firm bids for well in excess of the $20 million target.

Sprott Capital Partners and Euroz Hartleys Limited acted as Joint-Lead Managers for the placement. Treadstone Resource Partners acted as strategic and financial adviser to Los Cerros.

During the quarter, the Company´s quoted 16c options (LCLOB) expired on 16 August 2021. Prior to their expiry, 14.29M LCLOB options were converted in quarter, which raised $2.29 million. Also in the quarter, approximately 3.5M unlisted options, exercisable at 2c, 7c and 10c, were exercised and provided a further $302,000.

The boost to Los Cerros cash reserves, plus the strategic investment by tier one institutions, places the Company in a very strong position ($23.4 million in cash at end of quarter) to advance its Colombian assets and sustain a multi-drill rig, multi target exploration program.

Post Quarter Developments

Interpretation and assimilation of recent drone aero-magnetic and deep penetrating IP (Induced Polarisation) geophysical survey data was released to the ASX on 26 October 2021. The surveys, when combined with other information and incorporated into the Company’s geological model, identified a significant gold porphyry target central to Miraflores and Tesorito (Figure 4). This is considered an exciting development and a drill program to test the target has been planned.

prospect. NOTE: strong drill core gold assay results from across much of Tesorito South drilling correlate to a local chargeability high extending from the major chargeability high.

The Quarter Ahead

The Company believes the significant delays in laboratory assay turnaround experienced during the quarter are largely resolved. The current quarter is therefore expected to see continued news flow from the four drill rigs in operation at Quinchia, supplemented by further revelations from the geophysics and target generation programs. Subject to Covid-19 restrictions hampering some consultation elements, the Company expects to submit remaining documentation related to Miraflores mining approvals to relevant authorities during the quarter.

Appendix 5B disclosures:

As outlined in the attached Appendix 5B, during the quarter the Company spent approximately:

  • $2,093k on exploration activities;

  • $131k in payments made to related parties and their associates for director salaries, consultancy fees, superannuation, and other related costs; and

  • $925k on administration and corporate costs.

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $23.4 million at the end of the quarter.

(1) All titles are part of the Andes Gold Project, located in Antioquia, Risaralda and Choco, Departments of Colombia. Pursuant to the Interest Transfer Agreement with Bullet Holding Corporation (Bullet), Andes has a 90% beneficial interest, and Bullet has a 10% interest. All tenements have been crossed checked against the National Mining Authority Registry (ANNA) and reflect the status reported in ANNA. The Colombian Mining Authority’s migration to a new tenement management and cadastre system (ANNA) has generated inconsistencies and issues concerning certain mineral tenement boundaries. In addition, there is uncertainty regarding the application and constitutionality of Presidential Decree 1955/19, the purpose of which was to re-instate certain land rights over free land to qualifying informal miners. The issues are not unique to Los Cerros and have the potential to reduce the footprint of a subset of exploration licence applications within the Company’s Andes Gold Project. The Company is monitoring the situation and will keep the market informed of developments.

(2) The Titleholders of the tenements are:

(2.1) Tenements in process of acquisition by Andes Resources EP S.A.S (Andes).

  • (2.2) The titleholders of the applications are various companies associated with Bullet and covered under the Interest Transfer Agreement – see note (1).

  • (2.3) Andes is a subsidiary company of Los Cerros.

(3) Concessions at Exploration Stage have 3 year life extendable for 2 years to a maximum of 11 years.

(4) 10 year life extendable for 10 years and the tenement is in process of transformation to Concession contract.

(5) 5 year life extendable for 5 years and the tenement is in process of transformation to Concession contract.

(6) Applications have neither legal liabilities nor certainty that they will be granted in whole or in part. If the ground was open ground at the time of lodging, a contract for exploration and potential exploitation will be offered to the applicant. Andes has a beneficial interest in the tenement when the application is granted.
