Valor Executive Chairman, Mr George Bauk commented, “These results have highlighted the mineralisation potential, at surface, of the Project. The work undertaken has highlighted significant showings of copper with more than 50% of the results between 1% and 6% along with silver results of up to 563 g/t (over 18oz of silver). The mapping completed is indicating that the mineralisation is analogous to other copper‐silver stratabound deposits in Peru and Chile.
We will follow up these results with further ground‐based work as soon as possible and also undertake a review of our Berenguela South Project. Copper is a significant part of the clean energy future and is currently demanding over US$10,000 per tonne with significant commentary of a supply shortage. Peru has several world class copper and silver deposits and is the third largest producer of copper and silver in the world.”

OVERVIEW
The Picha project consists of 4 granted mining concessions covering 2,000 hectares. It is located 127km SW of the City of Juliaca, in southern Peru, and near the village of Jesus Maria in the San Antonio de Esquilache district, province of Sanchez Cerro and the Moquegua department.
Regionally, the Picha property is located within the Tertiary volcanic belt of southern Peru that hosts numerous important ore deposits. In the Arequipa department, major examples include Orcopampa, Arcata, Ares, Caylloma and Sukuytambo. In the SE of the Cusco department is the polymetallic silver‐ rich district of Condoroma and in Puno department is the Berenguela district rich in silver and copper. About 14km to the E‐NE of the property is the old San Antonio de Esquilache polymetallic silver‐rich mining district. The property is 17km from the Chucapaca copper‐silver‐gold deposit that hosts a resource of 7.5 million gold equivalent ounces. (Valor announcement 23[rd] May 2016). Picha is also in

the NW extension of the Tucari and Santa Rosa high sulfidation systems and in the SE extension of the skarn‐prophyry belt that hosts the Tintaya district.
The oldest rocks of the area are a sequence of folded and faulted marine sediments consisting of limestones, shales, quartzites and arkosic sandstones of the Lagunillas Group (Jurassic‐Cretaceous), but there are also quartzites of the Tantacollo Formation.
The volcanic activity in the area started with the Miocene Tacaza Group (±1000m thickness). This sequence, separated from the underlying sedimentary rocks by an angular unconformity, is composed of andesitic lavas and breccias, basalts and dacites with some pyroclastics. It outcrops in central parts of the Picha property.
Overlaying the Tacaza Group on an angular unconformity are siltstones, sandstones, shales. impure limestones with interbedded felsic to intermediate volcanics and reworked tuffs of the ±1700m thick Middle to Late Miocene Maure Group. These are the most abundant rocks on the project area.
The andesitic lavas and tuffs of the ±700m thick Pleistocene Barroso Group conformably overlie both the Tacaza and the Maure Groups and are found in the northern part of the region.
Intrusive activity during the Miocene emplaced many small stocks of porphyritic andesite, quartz‐ feldspar porphyry, rhyolite, porphyritic microdiorite and diorite within the Pichacani map area. Some of the intrusions are up to 6km long and 2km wide.
Major structural fault lineaments strike NW‐SE and control the windows of Mesozoic sediments in contact with the Tacaza volcanics, and also the location of intrusive rocks.

Cumbre Coya: Contact between Tacaza Group volcanics and Maure Group sediments
PROPERTY GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION
The property area is covered mostly by andesite lava flows, basaltic andesites, tuffs and agglomerates of the Tacaza Group. These rocks are unconformably overlain by lacustrine sediments made up of sandstones, limolites, shales, limestones and some intercalations of andesites, rhyolites and reworked tuffs of the Maure Group of Miocene age. While most of the copper mineralisation is hosted by the Tacaza Group, some copper mineralisation also reaches the level of the Maure Group rocks. As

----- End of picture text -----
described below the Cumbre Coya and Fundición target areas show evidence of manto‐type, stratabound mineralisation within the Maure sequence.
Local faulting strikes generally NW‐SE with vertical dips. These fault zones produce alteration zones up to 10m wide with some silicification and argillisation.
CUMBRE COYA TARGET AREA
Rocks of both the Tacaza Group andesitic volcanics and the Maure Group shales and siltstones underly the Cumbre Coya target area. Mineralisation occurs in both Groups at the contact between them, and there is some evidence that the mineralisation may be at least partially controlled by reverse‐type faulting.
Alteration occurs as silicification at the contact between the volcanics and sediments and as weak to moderate argillic alteration moving away from the contact.
Five rock samples were taken from this area with assays of up to 563ppm Ag, 1.1% Cu and 20% Pb. Mineralisation occurs as malachite, azurite, galena and chrysocolla.
FUNDICIÓN TARGET AREA
The Maure Group sediments underlie 95% of this target area and host the mineralisation. Alteration is absent and the mineralisation occurs as malachite with limonite and manganese oxides filling very small fractures. Three rock samples were taken from this area and despite the absence of many visual clues, one of the samples returned an assay of 444ppm Ag and 2.8% Cu.

TIMILLO TARGET AREA
This target area is underlain by Tacaza Group volcanics and Maure Group sediments with mineralisation straddling the contact between the Groups. Alteration is absent in the sediments and weakly argillic in the andesitic volcanics.
Mineralisation is represented by malachite, chalcocite, galena and manganese oxides. Only one sample was taken which returned an assay of 123ppm Ag and 5.09% Cu.

COBREMANI TARGET AREA
The Cobremani target area is underlain by the andesitic volcanics of the Tacaza Group. Alteration is present as weak to moderate argillic alteration along with silicification in areas.
The mineralisation is present as malachite, azurite, chrysocolla, chalcocite and iron and manganese oxides. A total of four samples were taken with three returning assays of greater than 2% Cu and up to 6% Cu.

MARICATE TARGET AREA
As with Cobremani, the Maricate target area is underlain by Tacaza Group volcanics. Alteration is present as weak to moderate argillic alteration along with silicification in the form of chalcedony.
Mineralisation occurs as malachite, azurite, chrysocolla, antlerite and iron and manganese oxides. Seven rock samples were collected from Maricate with Ag assays of up to 111ppm and three samples returning over 2% Cu.

GEOLOGIC MODEL
The field evidence indicates that the Picha mineralisation is similar to other copper‐silver stratabound deposits in Peru and Chile which are mainly hosted in andesitic volcanics. However, there is also
==> picture [596 x 6] intentionally omitted <==

evidence for replacement‐type deposits in the sediments. Further exploration work is required to test this model and the next phase of work, as recommended by Solimana, is discussed below.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to the ongoing desktop review involving compilation of all available historical data, Solimana has recommended follow up work including:
-
Carry out detailed geological mapping of both volcanic and sedimentary lithologies with a focus on identifying units with the potential to host economic mineralisation similar to known stratabound ore deposits in the area
-
Continue geochemical sampling of all targets in order to define the extent of the mineralisation
-
Once the geological mapping and geochemical sampling program has been carried out, model the results including lithology, alteration, structure, and mineral associations to aid in further target identification
-
Select drill targets based on the above, plus the geophysical compilation generated in the desktop review and carry out an initial diamond drill program

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 REPORT TEMPLATE
SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as _limiting the broad meaning of sampling. _ |
Rock chip samples were taken as selective samples in mineralized areas, channel samples across mineralized structures/zones or more random samples in undefined mineralized areas. The sampling technique for each sample is shown in the table above in the body of the report. All samples were taken from in‐situ mineralisation. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Rock chip samples are taken for an indication of mineralisation only. | |
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. | Samples were taken to confirm results of previous exploration work. A total of 20 samples were taken. The selective samples have a high potential for bias and should not be considered as being representative of the overall mineralized structure or zone. Sample sites were selected on the basis of visual copper mineralisation and where associated with opaline silica and alteration. |
|
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open‐hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face‐ _sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). _ |
Not applicable – no drilling completed. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. | Not applicable – no drillingcompleted. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. | Not applicable – no drillingcompleted. | |
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due topreferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Not applicable – no drilling completed. | |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
Not applicable – no drilling completed and not appropriate for early‐stage exploration. |

| _If non‐core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. _ | Not applicable – no drillingcompleted. | |
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
All samples were dried at 100° C, crushed, split off quarter and pulverized. A sample of 250g with a grind size of 95%passing140 microns is then selected for analysis. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub‐sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
No field subsampling ‐ not appropriate for early‐stage exploration | |
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, _including for instance resultsforfield duplicate/second‐half sampling. _ |
No duplicate sampling or analytical checks were performed for any sampling except the laboratory originated standards and repeats for laboratoryinternalQAQCpurposes. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to thegrain size of the material being sampled. | Sample sizes are considered appropriate with an average size of 2.7kg. | |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
Samples were assayed by SGS del Peru S.A.C, Callao, Peru. A multi‐acid (four‐acid) digest (near‐total digestion) was used. The digestion solution was then analysed by ICP‐OES for a multi‐element suite of 36 elements. A 30g Fire assay with AAS finish was used to determine Au. Subsequently, samples with Ag greater than 100ppm, Pb greater than 10,000ppm, Cu greater than 10,000ppm, Zn more than 10,000ppm were analyzed byAAS. |

SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS (Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. |
The Picha project comprises Mining Concessions Picha 2, Picha 3, Picha 7 and Leon 3, which are 100% owned by Kiwanda S.A.C, a wholly‐owned Peruvian subsidiary of Valor Resources. The Picha project is located 127km SW of the City of Juliaca, in southern Peru, and near the village of Jesus Maria in the San Antonio de Esquilache district, province of Sanchez Cerro and the Moquegua department. |
| The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area |
All mining concessions are currently granted and in good standing with no known impediments. | |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | Exploration was previously completed on the Picha project area by several companies including Minera Teck Peru S.A., Minera del Suroeste S.A.C, Maxy Gold Corp and most recently Lara Exploration Ltd. These companies completed surface geochemical sampling and geophysics, including an Induced Polarization survey. Lara Exploration and Maxy Gold Corp proposed drilling programs to test the five target areas,but the drillingwas never implemented. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | Picha mineralisation is considered similar to other copper‐silver stratabound deposits in Peru and Chile hosted mainly in andesitic volcanics. Further exploration work is required to test this model. The project area is covered mostly by andesite lava flows, basaltic andesites, tuffs and agglomerates of the Tacaza Group. These rocks are unconfomably overlain by lacustrine sediments made up of sandstones, limolites, shales, limestones and some intercalations of andesites, rhyolites and reworked tuffs of the Maure Group of Miocene age. While most of the copper mineralisation is hosted by the Tacaza Group, some copper mineralisation also reaches the level of the Maure Group rocks. |
| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. |
Not applicable – no drilling completed. |
| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
Not applicable – no drilling completed. | |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut‐off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
Not considered applicable for the type of sampling undertaken. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
Not applicable. | |
| The assumptions usedfor any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. | No metal equivalents reported. |

| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. | Not applicable – no drilling. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
Not applicable – no drilling. | |
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to _this effect(eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). _ |
Not applicable – no drilling. | |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Refer to Figures above in body of text. |
| Balanced reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All rock chip sample results reported in table above. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
The sampling program is the first on‐ground exploration completed by Valor Resources at the Picha project. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large‐scale step‐out drilling). |
Further work on the project will include an ongoing desktop review of all relevant historical data, as well as: Geological mapping of target areas focusing on identifying suitable host stratigraphy for stratabound copper‐silver deposits. Further geochemical surface sampling to define the extent of mineralisation Geological modelling to aid in drill target definition Define drill targets based on the above work and implement a diamond drill program. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations andfuture drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
