New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Canadian stocks, typically moving 15% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 72% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (50% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change).

Atico Mining Corporation Announces Positive Results from 21 Drill Holes Completed in 2025 Within an Area of Historical Mining, Successfully Expanding the Tonnage At the El Roble Mine in Colombia Atico Mining Corporation announced positive results from 21 drill holes completed in 2025 within an area of historical mining, successfully expanding the tonnage at the El Roble mine. The table below highlights some assay results in bold for drill core holes, which include 10.20m of 6.26% Cu, 8.50 g/t Au and 10.00m of 6.77% Cu, 3.39 g/t Au. Ore grade intercepts are reported over widths of 0.27 to 10.3 meters in areas with limited drilling with results highlighting the possibility of further extending the ore body with additional drill programs. Holes ATD-0329 through ATD-0348 have discovered important new mineralization which are considerably beyond our expectations for the ¨Cuerpo Principal Inferior¨ CP ore body. The goal of the 2025 underground drilling program at the El Roble mine is to define zones of mineralization within the extent of the main historic massive sulphide body that were not exploited by previous operators, to expand the historically identified resource and explore for new massive sulfide bodies. The Company began this drill infill program to test the main mineralized body and the immediately adjacent area during the first quarter of 2023 and has continued the program with over 5,000 meters of drilling during 2025. All intervals include only assays of greater than 1% Cu and higher-grade intervals within these sections do not occur. The El Roble mine is a higher grade, underground copper and gold mine with nominal processing plant capacity of 1,000 tonnes per day, located in the Department of Choco in Colombia. Its commercial product is a copper-gold concentrate. Since obtaining control of the mine on November 22, 2013, Atico has upgraded the operation from a historical nominalcapacity of 400 tonnes per day. El Roble's reserves estimate, with an effective date of March 12, 2024, includes Proven and Probable mineral reserves of 828 thousand tonnes averaging 2.49% Cu, 2.20 g/t Au and a life of mine until Q1-2027.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 49% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 63% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (49% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks High level of debt (56% net debt to equity).

Atico Mining Corporation Provides an Update on New Title Negotiations with the National Mining Agency and New Repayment Terms for Trafigura Facility Atico Mining Corporation announced that representatives from the National Mining Agency ("NMA"), joined by the Governor of the Department of Choco and the Mayor of El Carmen de Atrato, have publicly declared that a new 30-year mining title will be granted to Minera El Roble. Following more than 18-months of negotiations with the Company, the NMA has reached a decision and, during a press conference, revealed that it will grant a new 30-year mining permit to Minera El Roble in the context of the preference right stated in the decree 2477 from 1986. This step marks an important milestone as Atico is expected to once again have a long-term title at its operating mine upon the NMA granting formal title. Among the information released by the NMA it was included that the new contract will fall under the current law for mining titles in Colombia, Law 685 from 2001, and will have all the requirements in it. It will also have additional contractual compensation fees for the Colombian State and a community relations expense, which the Company has been committed to in a discretionary way over the years. Following this, the Company has agreed to fully settle the outstanding balance of the facility by June 30th. This amendment will be secured by unsold and unpledged concentrates inventory as collateral. New Risk • Mar 10
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Canadian stocks, typically moving 25% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks.

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: CA$12.1m (US$8.52m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 47% per year over the past 5 years.

Atico Updates Mineral Reserves and Resources for the El Roble Mine in Colombia Atico Mining Corporation report of an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource and reserve estimate as on March 12th 2024 for the El Roble Mine located in Colombia. The updated mineral resource and reserve estimate for El Roble was prepared by staff and consultants of Miner SA, an Atico Mining operating subsidiary. Mr. Thomas Kelly (SME Registered Member 1696580) has reviewed the reserve estimate and Mr. Antonio Cruz (AIG Registered Member 7065) has reviewed the resource estimate and both have acted as the qualified persons as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101. The Mineral Reserves reported herein were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council. This reserve estimate is based on all data available through March 12, 2024. Resource and Reserve Estimation Methodology: The Mineral Resource estimation considers channel and core samples, in addition to the underground mine mapping for the construction of three-dimensional wireframes of the lithology and mineralized bodies. Estimation of grades in the block models only considers samples located inside the mineralized bodies solid, which are applied to anomalous grade or top cut treatment and a further compositing process. The model was constructed using 2m x 2m x 2m blocks, which represents the selective mining unit (SMU). The orebodies estimation is conducted separately body by body and element by element (Cu and Au). The methods used for grade estimation are cubic inverse distance (Goliath, Maximus, Maximus Sur, Perseo, A, B, D, D2, Afrodita, Rosario and Cuerpo Principal Orebodies) and Ordinary Kriging (Zeus Orebody). A specific density factor was assumed for each site to convert block volumes to tons for the bodies: Goliath = 3.34 t/m3, Maximus = 3.50 t/m3, Maximus Sur = 3.26 t/m3, Zeus = 3.53 t/m3 and Perseus = 3.35 t/m3. For mineralized bodies A, B, D, D2, Afrodita and Rosario the densities were estimated with IDW. Mineral resources are reported with a limit of 0.87% CuEq cut-off for ore-body Zeus, 0.61% CuEq cut-off for ore-body Goliath, Maximus, Maximus Sur and Perseo and 0.86%CuEq cut-off for ore-body body A, B, D, D2, Afrodita, Rosario and Cuerpo Principal. For each block, the CuEq value was calculated by multiplying one ton of mass of each block grade by its average recovery, payable metal recovery, and metal price. Blocks with a CuEq grade higher than the CuEq limit were included in the resource estimate. Price Target Changed • Apr 30

Atico Mining Corporation Announces Positive Results for the Latest 49 Drill Holes Being Carried Out in an Area of Historical Mining to Expand Tonnage At the El Roble Mine Atico Mining Corporation announced positive results for the latest 49 drill holes being carried out in an area of historical mining to expand tonnage at the El Roble mine. In addition, the Company reports the results for sixteen diamond drill core holes, which included 20.70m of 5.76% Cu, 4.46 g/t Au and 11.50m of 8.16% Cu, 8.09 g/t Au. Ore grade intercepts in another fourteen drill holes are also reported over narrower widths of approximately 1 to 2 meters in areas with limited drilling which highlights the possibility of further extending the ore body with additional drill programs. Exploration Drilling Program - The goal of the current surface and underground drilling program at the El Roble mine is to define zones of mineralization within the extent of main historic massive sulphide body that were not exploited by previous operators and also to expand the historically identified resource. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company began this drill infill program to test the main mineralized body and the immediately adjacent area with a total of 7,880 meters of drilling in 77 holes. The drill campaign will be continued during 2024 and results for the drill holes will be reported as the assay results for mineralized intercepts are received. El Roble Mine: The El Roble mine is a high grade, underground copper and gold mine with nominal processing plant capacity of 1,000 tonnes per day, located in the Department of Choco in Colombia. Its commercial product is a copper-gold concentrate. Since obtaining control of the mine on November 22, 2013, Atico has upgraded the operation from a historical nominal capacity of 400 tonnes per day. El Roble has Proven and Probable reserves of 1.00 million tonnes grading 3.02% copper and 1.76 g/t gold, at a cut-off grade of 1.3% copper equivalent with an effective date of September 30, 2020. Mineralization is open at depth and along strike and the Company plans to further test the limits of the deposit. On the larger land package, the Company has identified a prospective stratigraphic contact between volcanic rocks and black and grey pelagic sediments and cherts that has been traced by Atico geologists for ten kilometers. This contact has been determined to be an important control on VMS mineralization on which Atico has identified numerous target areas prospective for VMS type mineralization occurrence, which is the focus of the current surface drill program at El Roble.

In addition, the Company reports the results for seven diamond drill core holes, which included 4.45m of 5.17% Cu, 10.47g/t Au and 4.90m of 9.35% Cu, 2.94 g/t Au. Exploration Drilling Program: The goal of the current surface and underground drilling program at the El Roble mine is to define zones of mineralization within the extent of main historic massive sulphide body that were not exploited by previous operators and also to expand the historically identified resource. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company began a drill program to test the main mineralized body and the immediately adjacent area. A total of 7,880 meters of drilling were completed during this program, of which final results for the remaining drill holes are still pending and will be reported as soon as the assay results for mineralized intercepts are received. El Roble Mine: The El Roble mine is a high grade, underground copper and gold mine with nominal processing plant capacity of 1,000 tonnes per day, located in the Department of Choco in Colombia. Its commercial product is a copper-gold concentrate. Since obtaining control of the mine on November 22, 2013, Atico has upgraded the operation from a historical nominal capacity of 400 tonnes per day. El Roble has Proven and Probable reserves of 1.00 million tonnes grading 3.02% copper and 1.76 g/t gold, at a cut-off grade of 1.3% copper equivalent with an effective date of September 30, 2020. Mineralization is open at depth and along strike and the Company plans to further test the limits of the deposit. On the larger land package, the Company has identified a prospective stratigraphic contact between volcanic rocks and black and grey pelagic sediments and cherts that has been traced by Atico geologists for ten kilometers. This contact has been determined to be an important control on VMS mineralization on which Atico has identified numerous target areas prospective for VMS type mineralization occurrence, which is the focus of the current surface drill program at El Roble.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Canadian stocks, typically moving 14% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 27% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (CA$14.6m market cap, or US$10.7m). New Risk • Dec 01
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: CA$12.1m (US$8.94m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 27% per year over the past 5 years.

Atico Mining Corporation Announces Constitutional Court Ruling Allows Continuation of the Environmental Consultation Process for Atico's La Plata Copper-Gold Project in Ecuador Atico Mining Corporation reported a significant development in Ecuadorian environmental regulation, positively impacting its operations and those of other productive projects nationwide. On November 17 2023, the Ecuadorian Constitutional Court (CC) ruled on the unconstitutionality of Executive Decree 754, regarding the Environmental Consultation Process (ECP) for national projects. However, the CC has decided to maintain the decree in force until the Ecuadorian National Assembly enacts this procedure into Organic Law. This decision comes as a crucial step before the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition (MAATE) can issue environmental licenses. This ruling is pivotal for the La Plata project and the broader community, impacting 178 important national projects in the process of obtaining environmental licenses. The decision enables the resumption of the ECP, previously obstructed by anti-mining groups. This obstruction paralyzed the construction of hospitals, water treatment plants, clean energy projects and not only hampered the project’s progress but also violated the rights of residents in the Direct Influence Area (DIA) to be informed and consulted about potential environmental and social impacts. The Environmental Consultation process is a fundamental dialogue and public debate mechanism. It ensures an open and informed interaction between the State, through MAATE, and local communities where projects are planned. This process aims to extensively and timely inform about potential environmental impacts and the measures for mitigation, control, and monitoring. Atico Mining is committed to transparent and responsible mining practices, respecting both environmental standards and community rights. The company is optimistic that this resolution by the CC will enable it to rapidly progress with the La Plata mining project, following a favourable technical endorsement of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) last May for the upcoming construction phases.

Atico Mining Initiates Regional Drill Campaign at El Roble Mine, Colombia Atico Mining Corporation announced an update on the exploration program and the start of regional exploration drilling at the El Roble property in Colombia. A strategic review of historical and recent exploration programs has defined high priority targets within the favorable stratigraphy that hosts the currently producing high grade Cu/Au VMS El Roble mine. The data review highlighted strong evidence of a second event of epithermal mineralization observed which overprinted the known VMS mineralization resulting in upgraded copper and gold content. The highest priority targets are identified by alteration and VMS mineralization with the upgraded Cu/Au content that are coincident with geophysical anomalies. Anomaly 8 was selected from the review as the first target for a follow-up diamond drilling program. It is defined by values of up to 11% Cu in outcropping hydrothermal breccia within a 900m by 300m area of soil and rock copper anomalies with values greater than 800 ppm Cu. It is coincident with EM (VTEM) and magnetic (GMAG) geophysical anomalies. The drill program is currently in progress and the anomaly is not fully tested. Two holes have cut favorable stratigraphy and strong alteration with massive sulfide pyrite fragments. A third drill hole was abandoned due to a major fault zone. An additional 3,050 meters of drilling is planned during 2023 at Anomaly 8. The strategic analysis of historical and recently generated information by the El Roble exploration team was undertaken during the period of January to July 2022 and included drilling campaigns both within the mine and follow-up of regional targets. This reinterpretation, which had the support of expert consultants and universities with staff specializing in mining and exploration, resulted in a better understanding of the concept of VMS clusters and identification of these clusters within the property (La Calera Zn - Ag cluster, La Batea Fe Cluster, Santa Anita Zn - Ag Cluster) as well as generation of new exploration areas. Overall, this reinterpretation has resulted in high priority targets for future exploration programs. The current drill program that began late in the last quarter of 2022 to follow-up Anomaly 8, is confirming the validity of the data review. Price Target Changed • Jan 24

Atico Mining Corporation Obtains the Certificate of Viability for the Tailing and Barren Rock Storage Facilities for La Plata Project in Ecuador Atico Mining Corporation announced that it has received its certificate of viability from the Mining and Energy Ministry for the construction and operations of its filtered tailing and barren rock storage facilities for La Plata mining project located in Ecuador. Following the announcement that the Ministry of Environment and Ecological Transition of Ecuador had signed the approval of the Environmental Impact Study for its La Plata project, the Ministry of Mines and Energy has followed by delivering to Atico the Certificate for the construction of the filtered tailings and barren rock storage facilities. The subsequent step in the permitting process, before the construction of the mine can begin, is the socialization of the results of the EIA with the neighboring communities which will be done in collaboration with officials of the regional government. The conclusion of this process will then allow the government to present to the Company the Environmental Licence, being the final document required to start earth movements and construction. The La Plata project plan consists of a 900 tpd underground mining operation with state-of-the-art infrastructure, the most significant infrastructure being the construction of a filtered tailings facility, a first of its kind in Ecuador. This technology, already used at El Roble mine in Colombia, allows for efficient use of water by significantly reducing water consumption through recirculating almost all of the water needs for the processing plant. The La Plata project also includes the upgrade of other infrastructures including the upgrade of the access road, a 69kV powerline and a flotation plant with its filtered tailing facilities. The GAD and Water Management Association are presently working on water infrastructures projects. These water projects will permit the upgrade and modernization of the existing water supply facilities providing a better quality of waterdelivered to operations and the surrounding communities. Atico Mining's success and culture are based on investing in sustainable development in communities where it operates through responsible mining with a tremendous emphasis on the surrounding environment.

Atico Mining Corporation Reports Latest Results of Drilling Program At the La Plata High-Grade Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Project in Ecuador Atico Mining Corporation reported on the latest results of its 2021 drilling program at the La Plata high-grade volcanogenic massive sulphide project in Ecuador. These latest results confirm additional new zones outside of the known envelopes, more precisely along strike and between North and South Blocks. True widths are dependent on uncertainties in the local strike and dip of the mineralization and are estimated to be between 76% and 83% of the drill intercept. Hole CMLP-21-189 was drilled as an in-fill through the South Block and confirmed the surrounding robust grades intercepted by previous drilling of VMS mineralization. Copper and gold grades in the hole remain consistent through 9.8 meters of massive sulphide mineralization. In this sequence, drilling targeted new extensions to test for mineralization at depth, extending the VMS footprint deeper below the North Block. Recent results, including CMLP-21-190 and CMLP-21-192 confirm that additional mineralization continues at depth. Hole CMLP-21-190 also reported two robust mineralized intercepts. The first intercept is dominated by sphalerite and the second intercept by chalcopyrite. These results indicate the presence of a parallel VMS structure located several meters east of the initial North Block. Hole CMLP-21-192 reported grades of 171 g/t silver and 11.9 % zinc over 6.2 meters in addition to strong copper and gold grades. The 2021 drilling campaign has delivered strong results. Drilling results have extended the footprint of the North and South Blocks beyond the known VMS lenses and confirmed the presence of additional mineralized structures parallel to the initial South and North Blocks.
