About Nativo Resources plc
Nativo has interests in gold mining and exploration projects in Peru. Through a 50:50 joint venture established in July 2024 with an experienced local partner ("Boku"), Nativo secured an opportunity to scale operations at the Tesoro Gold Concession, owning 50% of the production and resources. Production and sales of ore to a local gold ore processing plant began in late December 2024. Longer-term, the Company plans to establish its own gold ore processing plant to retain a higher margin from production at its mines. In March 2025, Boku also secured an option agreement to evaluate the opportunity to recover and sell gold and silver from the Toma La Mano tailings dump in the Ancash region and redeposit the tailings in line with legislation. The Company is investigating other similar regional tailings opportunities. In April 2025, Nativo acquired directly a 100% interest in the Morrocota Gold Mine, proximal to the Tesoro Gold Concession.
