Resouro Strategic Metals Inc Recent Drilling Results Released Producing Highest Grade/Thickness Results from the Tiros Project

Key highlights from recent assays received include;

• 38 metres at 6,444 ppm TREO with 1,524 ppm NdPr and 17.5% TiO2 from 40m (Aircore)

• 34 metres at 4,216 ppm TREO with 1,020 ppm NdPr and 10.6% TiO2 from 24m (Aircore)

• 28 metres at 4,585 ppm TREO with 1,012 ppm NdPr and 12.7% TiO2 from 29m (Aircore)

• 12 metres at 8,150 ppm TREO with 1,575 ppm NdPr and 20% TiO2 from surface (Auger)

• 10.5 metres at 7,181 ppm TREO including 2,222 ppm NdPr and 17.5% TiO2 from surface (Auger)

• 14 metres at 4,340 ppm TREO with 911 ppm NdPr and 12.1% TiO2 from 29m (Auger)

In summary, the 518 samples taken from the 13 holes (AC and Auger) in the recent campaign produced (see figures 1 - 3)

• 83% of the samples had a TREO grade above 3,000 ppm;

• 84% of the samples had a NdPr grade of over 500 ppm; and

• 85% of samples had a TiO2 grade of over 10%.

Note: The potential quantity and grade are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Commenting on the significance of these high-grade assays results from Tiros, CEO and President of Resouro, Chris Eager, said:

"We are extremely pleased with the assay results from the recent drilling campaign at Tiros, which demonstrate both the highest grades (TREO, NdPr and TiO₂) and thicknesses we have seen at the project to date. Drilling to date has consistently demonstrated thick intercepts of high-grade TREO and TiO₂. The latest results continue to indicate Tiros could be a globally significant REE and TiO₂ project."

Resouro has focused drilling on the Tiros Centre (see figure 5) which covers 44 km² in the centre of the Tiros Project with its northern tenements (Tiros North) also producing excellent results. The Tiros Centre covers approximately 9.5% of the total 477 km² of the Tiros Project. The program includes Air- Core, Diamond and Auger drilling, all to provide data for a maiden Resource Estimation.

Resouro has now completed 257m over 25 auger holes, 1,562m over 30 Air-Core holes and, 1,634m over 26 Diamond holes, excluding historical drilling by Vincenza and Iluka with 950m over 20 holes of Air-Core drilling and 1 diamond drill hole at 82m by Vincenza. The assay results published in this release are the first of significant number of drill samples currently in the laboratory for assay.

The recent results from Tiros confirm the Company's technical analysis of the geology showing a high grade REE and Tio2 resource below overburden in the plateaus of the regional Capacete Formation indicating a relative homogeneous globally significant high grade ore body as indicated in figure 4 below.

Quality Assurance Quality Control
A QA/QC program is in place for every batch of samples sent to the laboratory including blanks, different types of standards, for REE and titanium, and also field duplicates. Further, a number of samples in each batch are later chosen for testing in a secondary laboratory and in the primary laboratory, as pulp or coarse duplicates.

Qualified Person ("QP")
The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Rodrigo Mello B.Sc. Geology, FAusIMM and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr Mello has reviewed and verified the drilling and assay data included in this announcement.

Important Notice
The Company refers to its release on SEDAR Plus on 17 August 2023 titled "Resouro Completes Historical Desktop Study Including Historical Resource at Tiros Rare Earths and Titanium Project in Brazil" (Release), which included disclosures regarding the Company's initial resource target and historical resource estimates.

The Company advises that the initial resource target and resource estimates table disclosed in the Release were not compliant with either the standards prescribed by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects or the 2012 Edition of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. The Company retracts that information and advises that investors should not rely on the retracted information in assessing the Company's Tiros Rare Earths and Titanium Project or for any investment decision.
