DLP Earns 100% Ownership of Aurora Project and Secures Six-Year Community Land Use Agreement

Cranbrook, June 22, 2026 - DLP Resources Inc. (TSXV: DLP) (OTCQB: DLPRF) (FSE: J8C) ("DLP" or the "Company") is pleased to announce two significant milestones for its Aurora porphyry copper-molybdenum-silver project ("Aurora" or the "Project"), located in Southern Peru, including securing 100% ownership of Aurora as well as a six-year land use extension with the Parobamba Community.

DLP Achieves 100% Ownership of the Aurora Project

DLP has successfully fulfilled all commitments under the SMRL Parobamba II ("SP II") option agreement (see DLP news release dated May 18, 2021), exercising its option to earn 100% of the Aurora project. DLP's decision to exercise its option and assume full ownership reflects the Company's conviction in the Project's long-term value. This milestone eliminates any remaining interest dilution and positions DLP as the sole owner of the +10-billion-pound copper equivalent inferred resource base at Aurora (see DLP news release dated February 27, 2025).

Parobamba Community Approves Six-Year Land Use Extension

On June 14, 2026, the Parobamba Community, where the Aurora project is located and operates, voted to approve a six-year extension of the land use and exploration agreement. This demonstrates the strong, collaborative relationship DLP has built with the local community and provides the Company with the long-term access and social license required to advance the project through its next stages of development. The agreement will formally be registered with the Public Registry office in Cusco within the next month.

Mr. Gendall, President and CEO, commented: "Reaching 100% ownership of Aurora, combined with the Parobamba Community's six-year land use extension represents an important moment for DLP. We now have full control of a 1.05-billion-tonne inferred resource and the community partnership to advance it. Once environmental permits are secured, we will be ready to move forward with infill drilling and continue unlocking Aurora's potential. Aurora's scale, grade and favourable metallurgy underpin a project with strong, long-term optionality."

Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) Update

Aurora's PEA, being conducted by three Engineering firms including Global Resource Engineering, SRK and Ausenco, is expected to be completed in Q3 2026. The scope of the study involves evaluating combined open pit and underground mining scenarios alongside optimal infrastructure layouts, with the objective of identifying the best long-term economic outcome. Aurora's unique geometry presents the potential to access high-grade molybdenum resources in the early years of production alongside large-scale open pit copper; a combination management believes will significantly strengthen the Project's economic profile.
