Windfall of Historic Geophysical Data Advances Exploration and Targeting at the Filo Sur Project in the Vicuña District Argentina.

Toronto, September 9, 2024 - Mogotes Metals Inc. (TSXV: MOG) (FSE: OY4) ("Mogotes", or the "Company") reports on the receipt and initial interpretation of previously unreported large IP and ground magnetic datasets over the Filo Sur Project, adjoining the world class Filo del Sol Cu-Au-Ag project in the prolific Vicuña district, Argentina.

CEO Allen Sabet stated: "In our process of working systematically through the datasets at the Filo Sur project we reached out to historic operators at the project to go back through the archives and try to recover valuable Geophysical data and reports.

In this process they were able to recover data that was long lost, including extensive ground magnetic data circa 2012, and DCIP geophysical line data (2004 and 2012) that was previously unavailable.

This is an incredible find and opportunity for Mogotes. It increases our surface ground magnetic data coverage by 88%, and our ground magnetic coverage and surface DCIP lines from 20km to 66km.

The cost of such a program today would be approximately C$0.9m, and importantly the data will save significant time and help advance the exploration work faster.

Integrating this with our Mogotes acquired 2023 datasets has recently completed and highlighted numerous new targets as well as support and refine the existing targets of the company."

Mogotes announces that it has received a significant cache of Geophysics data for the Filo Sur project through cooperation with Vale S.A, Brazilian mining company that last explored at the Filo Sur Project in 2012. This data was lost in the last decade and has not been accessed by subsequent exploration companies evaluating the project.

Mogotes has integrated the Vale IP with the Company's acquired proprietary Vector IP and deep penetrating IP/ MT data and used modern processing techniques to produce project-wide 3D electrical geophysics and magnetic models covering key drill and exploration targets at Filo Sur.

Vale Ground Magnetic dataset (Figure 1):

• Previously supplied Vale ground magnetics:
  40 E-W lines, 200m spacing for 180 line km / 36 km²
• "New" Vale data:
  67 E-W & 3 N-S lines, 200m spacing for 340 line km / 68 km2

Mogotes and Vale Electrical Geophysics dataset (Figure 2):

• Previously supplied Vale Line kms = 8 lines / 20 line km
• Newly delivered Vale Line Kms = 23 lines / 66 line km
• Mogotes 2023 DDIP = 5 lines / 22.3 line km
• Mogotes 2023 VIP/MT data coverage = 55 km²

Total area compiled electrical geophysics coverage and 3D model = 62 km²

The new integrated geophysical models represent a technical step change for the project's exploration providing new, normally expensive geophysical coverage for key drill targets at the new Cruz Del Sur, Camino and Cumbre prospects as well as highlighting untested drill targets to the historic Filo Este, Central and Stockwork Hills targets.

Integrated interpretation of the new geophysical models in the context of surface geochemical, Worldview 3 alteration, previous drilling and geology is in progress, however clear large scale coincident magnetic and electrical geophysical anomalies are evident at Cruz del Sur - Stockwork hills, Cumbre and Camino prospects (Figure 3 and 4) that are consistent with signatures anticipated for porphyry and epithermal systems and are supported by Mogotes soil and rock chip anomalies and mapped alteration combine to represent compelling drill targets for the up coming field season.

More information on the new targets will be addressed in future presentations and releases.

About Mogotes Metals Inc.

Mogotes Metals Inc. is a mineral exploration company exploring for copper and gold in the prospective Vicuña district of Argentina and Chile. Mogotes flagship project, Filo Sur, adjoins the Filo Mining project directly on strike for the large Filo del Sol Copper-gold-silver discovery, and in the same belt as the NGEx Minerals Lunahuasi and Los Helados copper-gold deposits.

Additional Information

The information contained in this news release was accurate at the time of dissemination, but may be superseded by subsequent news release(s). The Company is under no obligation, nor does it intend to update or revise the forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Qualified Persons

The scientific and technical disclosure for the Filo Sur project included in this news release have been reviewed and approved by Stephen Nano who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Nano is a Director and Technical Advisor for the Company.

Mogotes applies industry standard exploration sampling methodologies and techniques. All geochemical soil, stream, rock and drill samples are collected under the supervision of the company's geologists in accordance with industry practice. Geochemical assays are obtained and reported under a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program. Samples are dispatched to an ISO 9001:2008 accredited laboratory in Argentina for analysis. Assay results from drill core samples may be higher, lower or similar to results obtained from surface rock, channel, trench samples due to surficial oxidation and enrichment processes or due to natural geological grade variations in the primary mineralization.

Drill holes feature varying diameters as they progress in depth. They begin with a PQ3 drill bit (up to ~300 m), then reduce to HQ3 (up to ~670 m), and finally reach NQ3 diameter (up to ~1200 m) at the deepest drill hole. The drill cores were extracted and placed in core boxes with accurate depth markings by Foraco drilling company's rigs, all under the supervision of Mogotes Metals Inc. The core boxes were carefully transported by Mogotes Metals Inc. staff to the field camp. The drill core processing at the field camp was as follows: general control, photographic record using IMAGO, recovery and RQD determinations, and geological quick log. The drill core boxes were also adequately packaged and secured for transport to San Juan core shed. Shipments from the camp to the San Juan facility were transported using trucks designated exclusively for that purpose.

At the core shed in San Juan the drill core processing was as follows: general control, check of recovery and RQD, additional geotechnical studies, determination of apparent density, sampling delimitation, drill core cutting, sampling and weighing of samples, half core photographic record using IMAGO, and detailed geological logging. All this information is managed using MX Deposit. The remaining half cores are secure stored in racks at the same core shed.

The drill cores were sampled in 2- and 1-meter intervals depending on the drill hole diameter (1 meter for PQ3 and 2 meters for HQ3 and NQ3) using a diamond or a hydraulic rock saw chosen based on visible mineralization. A unique reference number was assigned to each sample. The samples were placed in duly identified plastic bags ensuring that each interval to be sampled was correct and that the same half core was always sampled.

All samples were bagged in raffia bags and packaged for shipment by an exclusive truck to the ALS laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina. In that facility was carried out the sample preparation (PREP-31B) which includes crush to 70 % less than 2 mm, riffle split off 1kg, pulverize to 85% passing 75 microns. The prepared samples were sent to the ALS laboratory in Lima, Peru for gold and multi-element analysis. Gold (Au-ICP21) was analyzed by fire assay fusion with ICP-AES finish on a 30 g sample. Samples were also analyzed for a suit of 48 elements (ME-MS61) with four acid digestion and ICP-MS finish.

The QAQC procedure is consistent for both drill cores and rock samples, involving batches of 36 samples. Each batch includes 32 original samples and 4 quality control samples, making up approximately 11% of the total. Per batch, the four control samples were distributed according to the following criteria: (i) 2 standards chosen based on the drill core alteration y mineralization between different ore grades reference materials of high sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag-Cu ore and porphyry Cu-Au-Mo ore base. (ii) 1 blank (alternatively coarse and fine blank), which was preferably located after the mineralized zone. (iii) 1 field duplicate that corresponds to a quarter in drill cores or a rock sample taken in a similar way to the original was preferably placed in the most mineralized position within the batch.
