The Company set up an online data room, some of which included 3D Leapfrog models for properties, which was opened for interested third parties that have signed confidentiality agreements with the Company. The Company signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") covering 6 license areas with a new third party in May 2022.
- Vale-Mundoro Arizona Project: In Q4-2021, Vale and Mundoro completed an option agreement on a copper porphyry property in Arizona. An exploration work program and budget were approved in Q1-2022. Staking of Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") ground was completed during Q1-2022. The project area consists of a combination of Mineral Exploration Permits from the Arizona State Land Department and claims on BLM land. A field program of soil sampling and detailed mapping of the exploration area has commenced and is ongoing. The Company completed an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey in May 2022.
- Vale-Mundoro Generative Alliance in Southwest USA: Mundoro entered into a generative alliance with Vale ("Vale Generative Alliance"), focused on the generation of new projects in Arizona and New Mexico. For further information see our press release dated December 23, 2021.
- JOGMEC-Mundoro Copper Exploration Program, Bulgaria: The first Designated Project from the 2019 JOGMEC Generative Alliance has received a signed exploration contract from the Ministry of Energy in Bulgaria. The work program for the exploration area is in the final stage of the review process by the relevant government agencies. Geological 3-D models based on historical data were completed and field mapping and sampling are planned to commence after receipt of government approvals. JOGMEC will be sole funding the work program for exploration of sediment-hosted copper stratiform-type deposits in the area.
- GT7 Exploration Program in Central Serbia: In February 2022, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with third party mining company to earn into the GT7 Property. The GT7 Property, located in central Serbia (see press release on March 30, 2021) is a copper-gold area totaling 98 sq. km located in the northern portion of the Serbo-Macedonian Metallogenic Province, which is part of the Tethyan Belt. The area is considered highly prospective for copper porphyry and related epithermal mineralization. The GT7 Copper Property contains exposures of diorite porphyry copper-gold-type quartz stockwork mineralization and is related to precious and base metals veins in surrounding sedimentary country rocks. The third party will sole fund an exploration work program at the project area which will include: (i) soil sampling and (ii) alteration and geological mapping and (iii) a ground magnetic survey that will include 968-line km. All three programs will cover the entire license area to provide complete data collection for further interpretation and targeting. The exploration program is expected to be in a position to drill test by the end of year at the South Zone.
- Vale-Mundoro Exploration Programs in Timok, Northeast Serbia: In Q2 2022, the four Vale-Mundoro Projects in Serbia are sole funded by Vale and have a budget which covers approximately 4,000 meters of total drilling in 2022 to test copper porphyry targets. Soil sampling, geology mapping and ground geophysics are underway to cover the areas of the licenses which were not previously surveyed. To date of reporting 378-line km of ground magnetic survey was completed. Reprocessing and modeling of geophysical and geological data is in progress to refine the drill targets planned for drilling in the second half of 2022.
