ISKA ISKA History of the Iska Iska Mining District The exploitation of the Iska Iska mining In 2016, the Villegas family hired Dr. district dates back to the Colonial Osvaldo Arce, P.Geo to evaluate the period, when silver and gold veins property. were mined on a small scale. On Jan 9th 2020, Eloro Resources Ltd. In the mid 1960’s, an intrusion related executed the Definitive Option tin deposit, 2.5 km south of the Iska Agreement to acquire the Iska Iska Iska property with the same name, was polymetallic property. mined on 6 to 8 narrow veins grading about 0.4% (Sn) In the 1990’s, this tin property south Huayra Kasa of Iska Iska was explored by Bolivian company COMSUR, who completed a 2,000 metre trenching program. In 2012, the Villegas family took control of the Iska Iska property after it lapsed from previous ownership. They then Tin mine and proceeded with prospecting and found trenching in the old colonial workings of Huayra the 1990’s Kasa. This proved to be a polymetallic (gold, silver, zinc, lead) mineralized area within the old Spanish workings. |8
ISKA ISKA Definitive Agreement On January 6th, 2020, Fully permitted for exploration Eloro signed a drill program. Definitive Option Agreement, fully No fixed expenditure permitted, road requirement accessible, for exploration drill No royalties program at Iska Iska which has never been drilled Eloro has issued to the Title Holder 250,000 common shares within 30 days of the signing of the Definitive Agreement and can elect to issue 250,000 common shares more within two years. Eloro also has the option of paying US $10 million to the Title Holder within 4 full years, as part of the royalty free deal Independent National NI 43-101 report confirming the potential at Iska Iska was completed on April 29, 2020 by Micon International. |9
MINERAL DEPOSITS Bolivia a Prolific Mining Country Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P.Geo., President of the Bolivian Geological Society (2010-2017), a highly recognized Bolivian geologist and a key member of the Eloro team, prepared a comprehensive textbook on the metalliferous ore deposits of Bolivia.

ISKA ISKA Property Geology & Mineralization Iska Iska is a major silver polymetallic porphyry- epithermal complex associated with a Miocene possibly collapsed/resurgent caldera, emplaced on Ordovician age rocks with major breccia pipes, dacitic domes and hydrothermal breccias. Mineralization age is similar Preliminary to Cerro Rico de Potosí and Geological other systems such as San Map Iska Iska Vicente, Chorolque and Tatasi located in the same geological trend. | 13
View of Main Area of Iska Iska View of the Topography of the Iska Iska Main Area Looking North. Property is readily accessible by road. Underground workings provided excellent access for initial underground drilling but all drilling is now being done from surface as a result of new discoveries west of these workings. | 14
Initial Diamond Drilling Program Huayra Kasa ISKA ISKA Huayra Kasa Breccia Pipe discovered in November 2020 just east of UG workings. Two major breccia pipe targets identified to the west of the UG workings. High grade Au-Bi zone outlined underground | 15
Discovery of Second Major Pipe- ISKA ISKA Santa Barbara Pipe Drill Hole DHK-14 drilled at -10 degrees to the SW of Huayra Kasa workings intersected almost 180m of silicified & mineralized breccia in the Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe. Hole ended in well- mineralized breccia once the drill reached its depth capacity and only penetrated approximately 50% of the breccia pipe. Channel sampling at NW end of Santa Barbara adit returned 0.32 g Au/t, 26.90 g Ag/t, 1.16% Pb, 28.5 g In/t and > 500ppm Sn along margin of pipe. Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe is ~400m in diameter | 16
ISKA ISKA Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe Highlights from recent drilling results: • 129.60 g Ag eq/t over 257.5m (29.53g Ag/t, 0.078g Au/t, 1.45%Zn, 0.59%Pb, 0.080%Cu, 0.056%Sn, 0.0022%In, 0.0064%Bi and 0.0083%Cd) from 0.0m to 257.5m in hole DHK-15, the deepest of the three holes reported within the SBBP; • 79.00 g Ag eq/t over 121.33m (21.77g Ag/t, 0.034g Au/t, 0.35%Zn, 0.23%Pb, 0.18%Cu, 0.056%Sn, 0.0011%In, 0.004%Bi and 0.0055%Cd) from 0.0m to 121.33m in Hole DHK-14 within the SBBP; • 74.16 g Ag eq/t over 40.88m (33.43g Ag/t, 0.032g Au/t, 0.04%Zn, 0.33%Pb, 0.13%Cu, 0.045%Sn, 0.0010%In and 0.0012%Bi) from 30.40m to 71.28m in Hole DHK-13 which is within the approximately 100m wide mineralized envelope that surrounds the breccia pipe.

Geological Cross Section of Major ISKA ISKA Breccia Pipes Hole DSB-01 intersected 195m of mineralized breccia in SBBP & 83m in CGP. Hole DSB-02 intersected 216m of mineralized breccia in SBBP & 332m of mineralized breccia with porphyritic fragments in CGP. Last 10 m in this hole contained a 5m long intersection of massive sulphides - system is open at depth. Hole DSB-03 intersected 430m of mineralized breccia in SSBP including 50m of massive sulphide from 302m to 352m. SBBP. | 19
ISKA ISKA Massive Scale of Breccia Pipes Drilling has confirmed a 400m wide diameter for the Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe with a further 100m mineralized envelope around the pipe for a total effective mineralized diameter of 600m Adjacent Central Breccia Pipe to the south has a surface dimension of 400m by 700m Hole DHK-02 intersected mineralized breccia in the CBP to a depth of 475m below surface where it is completely open. It appears likely that the Santa Barbara and Central Breccia Pipes may merge at depth. Widespread tin mineralization suggests that we are getting closer to the magnetic source. Deeper holes are planned in both the SBBP and CBP to further confirm the full extent of the pipes and to test for mineralization at depth. Massive Sulphide DSB-03 316-320m | 20
ISKA ISKA Major Suite of Metals Hole DHK-15, the deepest hole in SBBP with assays back, gives us our first picture of the true potential of the Iska Iska system. A whole suit of metals including Ag, Zn, Pb, Cu, Sn, In, Bi and Cd are present, exactly the sort of assemblage one would like to see in a prolific “Potosi-type” deposit. It appears we have an entirely preserved mineralizing system of this type with lots of room to host a major deposit. Early indication of large size comes from hole DSB-02 which tells us that both the large SBBP and even larger CBP appear to be strongly mineralized. In just a few short months of drilling we have been able to confirm that Iska Iska has the right metal- assemblage, strong Ag-polymetallic grades and very large size. Massive sulphide at bottom of DSB-02 632m | 21
Potosi-like Metal Contents & ISKA ISKA Environment Mineralization at Iska Iska defines a massive porphyry-epithermal system hosted mainly in large magmatic-hydrothermal breccia pipes, along with Tertiary dacitic domes and Ordovician quartz sandstone sequences. This is a new geological environment for polymetallic deposition in the southern Bolivian Andes. Regionally, in terms of metal contents Iska Iska is comparable with neighbouring world-class polymetallic systems including Cerro Rico de Potosi, San Vicente, Chorolque and Tatasi. These systems all of which have similar geological environments, with the notable exception of the large and remarkable mineralized breccia pipes at Iska Iska. Typical Central Breccia DSB-02 570-577m | 22
DEPOSIT MODEL Conceptual Silver Sand Iska Iska is at a comparable stratigraphic level to Cerro Rico de Potosi | 23
BOLIVIA Large Land Position in Iska Iska Area Nine additional properties (known as mining areas under Bolivian law), covering a total of 311.75 km, recently acquired in Iska Iska area Properties are located on property Aster anomalies with a similar hydrothermal operation signature to that of Iska Iska. Targets on these properties include: - Polymetallic Ag, Pb, Zn - Polymetallic Ag, Au, Pb, Zn - Sn, W, Base metals | 24
