Mineros S.A. Identifies New High-Grade Vein System at the Nicaragua Property's Xiloa Target — 8.3 m at 17.3 g/t Au — Confirms High-Grade Continuity at Leticia with 1.2 m at 271.3 g/t Au

Mineros S.A. (TSX:MSA, OTCQX: MNSAF, BVC:MINEROS) ("Mineros" or the "Company") is pleased to report initial results from its 2026 diamond drilling campaign at the Nicaragua Property. Results cover four target areas: Xiloa in the Pioneer Mine environs; the Leticia and Apoyo vein systems in the Porvenir Polymetallic District; La Reforma at the Pioneer Mine; and infill delineation at the Panamá Mine.

Carlos David Rios, Vice President of Exploration for Mineros, commented: "We are in the process of conducting the most aggressive drilling program Mineros has ever executed in Nicaragua and the results we are achieving reflect the highly prospective nature of the land package. We are simultaneously increasing mineral resource confidence near current operations, extending the main vein systems through step-out drilling, and testing a series of brownfield targets across our land package. Xiloa demonstrates the potential of what a robust drilling program can deliver - a first-pass discovery, in our own backyard, sitting within reach of existing infrastructure. Owning the majority of our drill fleet, combined with our established infrastructure and skilled local workforce, gives us drilling cost below $100 /m; among the most competitive in Latin America."

The 2026 campaign is Mineros' most intensive drilling program to date at the Nicaragua Property, with 75,000 metres planned with ten rigs operating simultaneously, eight company-owned and two contracted. The program drives new-target drilling at Xiloa, step-out drilling at Leticia and La Reforma, and infill delineation at Panamá and Pioneer, advancing the Company's goal of increasing Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves across the Nicaragua land package.

Xiloa: New High-Grade Vein System

The Xiloa Vein System was delineated by surface mapping and sampling as part of the Company's brownfield exploration program and drill-tested for the first time in 2026. Xiloa is located approximately 1.2 kilometres northeast of the active Pioneer Mine, placing it within reach of existing infrastructure and access roads.

The first hole drilled in 2026, BXIDDH_26_001, returned 8.3 m at 17.3 g/t Au and 11.9 g/t Ag from 329.7 m depth (including 0.6 m at 58.7 g/t Au and 25.9 g/t Ag). Follow-up holes BBONDD_26_0053 (5.2 m at 6.7 g/t Au and 11.2 g/t Ag) from 206.0 m depth and BBONDD_26_0051 (2.2 m at 6.2 g/t Au and 9.2 g/t Ag) from 212.8 m depth confirm lateral continuity of the mineralization. The five holes drilled to date preliminarily define the Xiloa zone over approximately 400 metres of strike length and 150 metres of vertical extent; the system remains open laterally and at depth in all directions.

Step-out drilling at Xiloa will continue through the second and third quarters of 2026, with holes targeting strike and depth extensions of the high-grade mineralization identified. Given Xiloa's proximity to existing mine infrastructure at the Pioneer Mine , Xiloa represents a compelling near-term opportunity to add new Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in the short to medium term, with the potential to be incorporated into the mine plan in a relatively short timeline.

PORVENIR POLYMETALLIC DISTRICT - Leticia and Apoyo Vein Systems

The Porvenir Polymetallic District is one of the most significant growth platforms within the Mineros Nicaragua Property - an emerging epithermal gold-silver-zinc system where recent exploration has defined a district-scale mineralized corridor spanning multiple spatially related deposits and targets. The district currently supports approximately 736 Koz AuEq in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, 406 Koz AuEq in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources (exclusive of Mineral Reserves), and a further 313 Koz AuEq in the Inferred Resource category (AuEq calculation methodology, metal price assumptions, and recoveries as disclosed in the Company's press release dated March 31, 2026). The Leticia and Apoyo vein systems, located less than 500 metres from the Porvenir Project, represent the leading edge of that expansion.

The 2026 program has returned high-grade intercepts across three vein systems within the district.

At Leticia, hole BLDDH_26_050 returned the strongest results, intersecting 1.2 m at 271.3 g/t Au and 80.7 g/t Ag from 90.8 m depth and, deeper in the same hole, 1.9 m at 74.6 g/t Au (including 0.9 m at 133.0 g/t Au and 28.1 g/t Ag) from 218.6 m - confirming two distinct high-grade shoots at depth; both intercepts are reported uncut.

At the Leticia North footwall splay, hole BLDDH_26_052 returned 1.5 m at 20.4 g/t Au and 7.9 g/t Ag from 85.4 m depth (including 0.6 m at 55.2 g/t Au and 21.1 g/t Ag) and hole BLDDH_26_051 cut 0.9 m at 16.4 g/t Au and 13.9 g/t Ag from 69.1 m depth, defining a new structural corridor.

At the Apoyo Vein System, hole BAPDDH_26_011 intersected 0.9 m at 3.6 g/t Au and 20.0 g/t Ag from 231.1 m depth, and hole BAPDDH_26_013 returned 5.9 m at 3.0 g/t Au and 10.3 g/t Ag from 232.0 m depth. All three vein systems remain open along strike and at depth, supporting the case for continued drilling across the Porvenir Polymetallic District.

Step-Out and Infill Drilling Results

Step-out drilling at Pioneer Mine is systematically extending the La Reforma vein system below its current resource boundary, and advancing the mineralized corridor at depth, while a focused infill drilling campaign at Panamá Mine is tightening drill spacing across known ore blocks - building confidence in the Mineral Resource needed to identify Mineral Reserves and future production areas.

Pioneer Mine - La Reforma & La Reforma NE Vein Systems (Step-out Drilling)

Step-out drilling at the La Reforma Vein System is delivering compelling results at depth. Hole BLRDDH_26_003 cut 1.5 m at 15.3 g/t Au and 14.0 g/t Ag from 213.4 m within the La Reforma NE structure - a high-grade intercept well outside the existing mineral resource shell which confirms the system extends robustly into untested ground at depth. Supporting step-out holes BPIODD_26_2267 (1.4 m at 11.3 g/t Au and 12.1 g/t Ag) from 261.0 m depth and BLRDDH_26_002 (2.2 m at 5.1 g/t Au and 30.1 g/t Ag from 287.0 m depth, including 0.7 m at 8.2 g/t Au) together extend the La Reforma mineralization by approximately 100 metres at depth, leaving the system open along strike and at depth - and underscoring the discovery potential that remains ahead.

Infill drilling within the main La Reforma vein continues to return results consistent with the established grade distribution, supporting active mine planning and near-term production scheduling. Holes BPIODD_26_2270 (0.9 m at 6.4 g/t Au and 16.0 g/t Ag from 183.8 m depth), BPIODD_26_2271 (2.0 m at 4.5 g/t Au and 4.5 g/t Ag from 449.1 m depth, including 0.5 m at 14.0 g/t Au and 12.8 g/t Ag), and BPIODD_26_2272 (1.1 m at 4.3 g/t Au and 9.9 g/t Ag from 223.7 m depth).

Panamá Mine - Capitán FW and Atlas Vein Systems

Infill drilling at the Panamá Mine is tightening drill spacing across the Capitán FW and Atlas vein corridors, with the objective of converting Inferred Mineral Resources to the Indicated Mineral Resource classification and providing the data density required to support Mineral Reserve estimation. Hole BPANUDD_26_1171 returned 4.4 m at 8.9 g/t Au and 78.6 g/t Ag from 250.5 m depth - including a high-grade core of 1.0 m at 18.4 g/t Au and 122.0 g/t Ag - and hole BPANUDD_26_1172 intersected 2.4 m at 8.3 g/t Au and 31.8 g/t Ag from 270.8 m depth, including 0.6 m at 24.0 g/t Au and 47.3 g/t Ag. Both intercepts confirm the grade continuity expected within the active mining blocks and lend confidence to the Mineral Reserve inventory that will sustain production at the Panamá Mine in the years ahead. Vein system assignments are subject to final confirmation from structural logging.
