About Tesoro Resources
Tesoro Resources Limited was established with a strategy of acquiring, exploring, and developing mining projects in the Coastal Cordillera region of Chile. The Coastal Cordillera region is host to multiple world class copper and gold mines, has well established infrastructure, service providers and an experienced mining workforce. Large areas of the Coastal Cordillera remain unexplored due to the unconsolidated nature of mining concession ownership, but Tesoro, via its in-country network and experience has been able secure rights to a district scale gold project in-line with the Company’s strategy. Tesoro’s 95% owned Chilean Subsidiary owns 85% of the El Zorro Gold Project.

Notes: 1- Tesoro’s 95% owned Chilean subsidiary owns 85% of the El Zorro Gold Project and may increase its holding of the JV via capital contributions. On the 26 August 2021, 15% JV partner Wanaco disputed the valuation & the procedure followed for the recent capital increase approved in the Shareholders Meeting of El Zorro SCM held on 11 February 2021. Tesoro is vigorously defending its position and is considering its legal options to have this spurious claim rejected by the court.

Appendix 3: Why Chile
==> picture [100 x 62] intentionally omitted <==
-
1) Low Sovereign Risk: Chile has a population of >19 million people, one of South America’s most stable & prosperous nations, enabling the country to significantly reduce poverty. Chile’s GDP is expected to rebound to 5.5% in 2021[(1)] , on the back of government stimulus and a rapid COVID-19 vaccination rollout (one of the best in South America).
-
2) Extremely Low Corruption: Chile ranks in the top quartile of countries in Transparency International’s 2020 Corruption Index, equal with the United States of America.
-
3) Supportive Government Policy Towards Mining: Mining is a major driver of the Chilean economy, contributing to more than 50% of Chile’s exports and 9% of GDP. The Fraser Institute’s 2020[(2) ] annual survey ranked Chile as the best country in South America for mining exploration investment based on public policy factors such as tax rates & regulation.
