Property Overview

The Cristal Project comprises three contiguous mineral concessions located in the western Andes of northern Chile, approximately 10 km south of the Peruvian border and within the Huayillas Quadrangle.

The Project is situated at the intersection of the West Fissure Fault Zone structural corridor and the Incapuquio Fault System. The property consists of approximately 9 km² of exploitation concessions known as Cristal I, Cristal III and Cristal 15, surrounded by concessions owned by Antofagasta Minerals, Codelco, Rio Tinto and First Quantum.

The Cristal Project is an exploration-stage copper property located in northern Chile. The Project is considered highly prospective for a large-scale, buried porphyry copper system, supported by historical geological and geophysical data, including magnetic and gravity anomalies consistent with major porphyry systems. The Project is situated within a highly prospective regional structural corridor which has attracted historical exploration activity from major mining companies.

Rokmaster views the Cristal Project as a compelling copper exploration opportunity in one of the world's most prolific porphyry copper belts. Historical technical work, showing a strong donut-shaped magnetic anomaly at the centre of the property, indicates the Project is prospective for a concealed porphyry copper system at depth. A prior National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Cristal Copper Property stated that the property is believed to host potential porphyry copper mineralization at depth, with potentially mineralized rocks interpreted to occur approximately 600 to 800 metres below surface.

John Mirko, CEO & Director, comments:

"We are very excited to acquire the Cristal Project, which we believe represents a highly accretive addition to Rokmaster's copper-gold focused exploration portfolio.

Cristal provides our shareholders with exposure to a large-scale, concealed porphyry copper target in northern Chile, one of the world's most important copper-producing jurisdictions. The Project benefits from strong geological and geophysical indicators, historical technical work by major mining companies in the district, and a clear first-phase drill target that can be tested in a focused and disciplined manner.

As global demand for copper continues to strengthen, we believe Cristal adds meaningful discovery upside to Rokmaster while complementing our existing portfolio of high-potential exploration assets."
