June 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 project generation program, including geophysics, expanded to advance multiple early stage targets at Quinchia.

  • Post quarter $20M capital raising undertaken 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 drilling success at its 100% owned Quinchia Gold Project in Risaralda – Colombia. Drilling at Tesorito South porphyry continues to deliver exceptional, globally significant drill results with mineralisation expanding, and remaining open, in every lateral direction tested during the quarter.

Tesorito drilling delivers two important and exciting developments

Assay results for a total of 9 holes for 3,700m of diamond drilling was reported during the quarter[1] . All drill core assays announced during the quarter delivered very positive results with all holes reporting gold mineralisation from surface and continuing for at least 177m and up to 629m downhole (Table 1).

TS-DH16 delivered an outstanding intercept of 460.9m @ 1.11g/t Au from surface within a broader intercept of 629m @ 0.88g/t Au from surface , far eclipsing the longest drill intercepts to date and demonstrating that porphyry associated mineralisation occurs west of a sub-vertical fault structure that was initially thought to define the western edge of Tesorito South mineralisation. The results of TS-DH16 have provided strong evidence to support a developing hypothesis that Tesorito South is the end member of a nested porphyry series running across the Marmato Fault Corridor and that the deeper mineralisation reported from this drill core is attributable to the next porphyry in the series. The significance of this concept for regional mineralisation potential is discussed in an ASX release of 11 May 2021. Drillhole TS-DH16 also delivered the best high grade intercept encountered to that date with 34.0m @ 3.03g/t Au from 214m.

However this result was eclipsed by surface high grade intercepted in TS-DH24 a few months later which delivered 36m @ 3.3g/t Au from surface within 222m @ 1.51g/t Au. Importantly, the pad location of this hole was the NE edge of the area of drilling to that date. Subsequent drill core assays from the same pad (TS-DH25 and TS-DH26) released in July also delivered high grade surface gold, raising the possibly that the porphyry core breaches the surface in this area and therefore introducing the potential for significant further extensions to the NE beyond TS-DH24 drill pad. A multiple drill hole program has been defined to further explore the potential to the N and NE over coming months.

New porphyry target ‘Ceibal’ fast tracked to drilling

Ceibal is a recently discovered gold, copper and molybdenum surface soil and rock chip geochemical anomaly located ~1.0km S and SW of Miraflores and Tesorito respectively (Figure 1). This is the first drilling program in this area, and assay results announced early July reported very encouraging and extensive mineralisation and porphyry signatures for the entire length of drill core of both holes[2] :

  • CEDDH01: 500m @ 0.52g/t Au (uncut) from surface including

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

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

  • 52.0m @ 0.81g/t Au from 176m

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

The July-September quarter will see further drilling, magnetic surveying and other vectoring techniques applied to the Ceibal target.

Project Generation Program expanded

With ongoing drilling success at known targets, the Company’s regional targeting model has improved with increased understanding of controlling structures and similar drivers guiding gold mineralisation. As part of a subsequently expanded project generation program, the Company commissioned two geophysical programs (a drone-based magnetic survey and a deep IP program) to validate, fine tune and extend the regional model, assist in drill planning and to potentially identify more targets along key controlling structures (Figure 1).

The drone based magnetic survey will cover almost the entire Quinchia project area. The deep IP program will initially cover Tesorito (South and North) and continue westward to Miraflores to better define the structures that have localised these two deposits. The IP survey will also investigate the nested porphyry hypothesis where Tesorito South and Miraflores are part of a larger regional system. Both programs are scheduled for completion in the September quarter.

Post Quarter Developments

$20M Placement to Rapidly Advance Quinchia Gold Project

On 16 July the Company announced the completion of a $20 million capital raising (before costs) via private placement of ordinary shares at 16c per share. As part of the capital raising, the Company is very pleased to welcome two high profile North American gold funds which are collectively investing approximately $10 million in the placement. Joining them are a number of institutional and high net worth investors from Australia, UK, and Asia, as well as existing professional and sophisticated shareholders.

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

The proceeds of the capital raising will boost the Company’s cash reserves to more than $24 million and will be primarily applied to exploration at the Quinchia Gold Project (100% owned) and the Andes Gold Project (90% owned) in Colombia, including:

  • progressively ramping up from the current three diamond rigs up to five active diamond rigs;

  • calculation of a maiden Mineral Resource in respect of the Tesorito South prospect;

  • commencing initial metallurgical studies in respect of the Tesorito South prospect;

  • completion of final submissions (EIA and community consultation) in relation to Miraflores mining approvals;

  • geophysical studies and surface works at earlier-stage prospects within the Quinchia Gold Project;

  • surface work and geophysical surveys at key epithermal and porphyry targets within the Andes Gold Project, subject to the granting of applications on these titles;

  • ongoing social programs; and

  • working capital, including costs of the capital raising.

The $20 million placement will be completed in two tranches to accommodate the Company’s LR 7.1 and LR 7.1A capacity. As announced on 23 July 2021, the Company issued 119,612,500 ordinary

ASX: LCL

The Andes Gold Project (Los Cerros 90%, BHC 10% free carry to FS) is a larger area of early stage exploration in the state of Antioquia ~70km north of Quinchia. The Company has previously completed extensive preliminary surface work at many sites within the expansive footprint including ~14,000 surface samples to identify multiple early stage epithermal gold and porphyry gold +/copper targets. No field work was conducted on the Andes Gold Project during the quarter.

The Quarter Ahead

2021 is slated to be Los Cerros’ biggest year of exploration drilling in recent years with a continuous, multi-rig drilling program supplemented by other exploration programs across the extensive exploration portfolio. With the completion of the $20M capital raising in mid-July, the Company has already begun implementing further expansions of field activities including drill programs and the number of active rigs. The approaching quarter is expected to see continued news flow from drilling at Quinchia and the completion of magnetic and deep penetrating IP geophysical surveys.

For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 15.5, the Board has authorised for this announcement to be released.

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:
