Current drilling is being done with two surface rigs and one high-capacity underground drill View of Iska Iska looking north 16
Property Geology and Mineralization Iska Iska is a major silver-tin 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 Caldera is 1.6km by 1.8km in dimension with a vertical extent of at least 1km First pass drilling has been completed over an area of 1.4km by 2.0km to test major target areas. Many results are pending. Mineralization age is similar to Cerro Rico de Potosí and other major deposits such as San Vicente, Chorolque, Tasna and Tatasi located in the same geological trend 17
Ground Magnetic Survey 181.5 linekm of magnetic data collected on 50m spaced north-south lines on all accessible parts of the property Magnetic data confirms the extent of the Iska Iska Caldera as determined from geological mapping and satellite interpretation Santa Barbara and Central Breccia Pipes are marked by prominent low anomalies reflecting strong alteration The Porco (South) Breccia Pipe target which is approximately 600m in diameter, has a similar signature to Santa Barbara and Central Breccia Pipes. Recent step out drilling to test the magnetic anomaly northwest of Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe has confirmed extensive hydrothermal alteration and mineralization demonstrating potential for a major extension Analytical Signal of the Total Magnetic Intensity 18

Geological Plan Map Iska Iska Potential size of Santa Barbara Breccia Pipe and surrounding mineralized envelope now expanded by drilling to 1,400m along strike, 500m wide and extending to a depth of up to 600m Spectacular continuous channel sampling results from Santa Barbara adit of 442 g Ag eq/t over 166m including 1,092 g Ag eq/t (446 g Ag/t, 9.03% Pb and 1.16% Sn) over 56.19m Recent drill results include: • 129.65 g Ag eq/t over 300.75m • 155.15 g Ag eq/t incl. high Sn at 0.43% over 73.29m • 122.66 g Ag eq/t over 123.6m • 196.09 g Ag eq/t (150.25 g Ag/t, 0.10% Sn and 0.05 g Au/t) over 56.2m 23
North South Cross Section Santa Barbara Widespread polymetallic mineralization occurs in all major rocks types but is highest grade in the breccia pipe and dacitic dome intruded by the pipe. Mineralized zone has a general north- northwest trend similar to regional structures in the area and is open along strike Drilling has confirmed magnetic anomaly northwest of Santa Barbara reflects extensive hydrothermal alteration and mineralization All drill holes on section except those with assays pending contain multiple reportable intersections with a number of high grade intersections > 110 g Ag eq/t 24
Major Potential in Central Breccia CROSS SECTION DCN-01 intersected multiple mineralized intercepts including 196.09 g Ag eq/t (150.25 g Ag/t, 0.10% Sn and 0.05 g Au/t) over 56.2m and containing 342.98 g Ag eq/t (274.0 g Ag/t, 0.16% Sn and 0.16 g Au/t) over 27.53m DCN-01 from approx. 263 m to 267 m Core from high grade section grading 342.98 g Ag eq/t (274.0 g Ag/t, 0.16% Sn and 0.16 g Au/t) over 27.53 m Northern part of Central Breccia is dominantly Sn-Ag suggesting a deeper origin for this part of the breccia pipe 25
Potosí-like Metal Contents and Environment A whole suite of metals including Ag, Sn, Au, Zn, Pb, Cu, In and Bi are present, exactly the sort of assemblage one would like to see in a prolific “Potosí-type” deposit. Iska Iska is a massive porphyry-epithermal system hosted mainly in large magmatic-hydrothermal breccia pipes and Tertiary dacitic domes Mineralization has been extensively remobilized and upgraded structurally during post-mineral Andean tectonism Geological team at Iska Iska Regionally, in terms of metal contents and geological environment There is almost 1km vertically from the valley to Iska Iska is comparable with neighbouring world-class polymetallic the peak of Iska Iska so considerable room to host systems including Cerro Rico de Potosí, San Vicente, a sizeable deposit Chorolque, Tasna and Tatasi In just under a year of drilling we have confirmed that Iska Iska has the right metal-assemblage, strong Ag- But these other major systems do not have the large and Sn-polymetallic grades, and very large size remarkable mineralized breccia pipes that are uniquely potential but exploration is still in its early days preserved at Iska Iska 26

Next Steps Aggressive Exploration Program including 51,000m Diamond Drilling in Progress! Drilling now focused on outlining an Target zone at Santa Barbara Preliminary metallurgical inaugural NI 43-101 compliant is 1,400m along strike, 500m tests and petrographic mineral resource in the Santa wide and extending to a depth studies are in progress Barbara Breccia Pipe and surrounding of up to 600m mineralized envelope. Expected in Q1 2022 Exploration still at an early stage Eloro Resources well financed but rate of discovery very rapid with 2 bought deals totalling since start of drilling in CDN $30 million in Q1 2021 September 2020. All drill holes released to date have multiple reportable intersections.

Conclusion Eloro has the option to earn a 99% interest in the Iska Iska property located in Bolivia’s prolific South Mineral Belt which includes world- class deposits such as: Cerro Rico de Potosí, San Vicente, Chorolque and Tatasi Bolivia is now actively seeking foreign investment to develop its mining sector which is very underdeveloped Iska Iska is a major silver-tin polymetallic Drilling now focussed on outlining an inaugural porphyry-epithermal complex associated with NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource in the a Miocene possibly collapsed/resurgent caldera Santa Barbara Breccia and surrounding Mineralization age is similar to Cerro Rico mineralized envelope. Expected in Q1 2022 de Potosí and other polymetallic systems in Exploration is still at a very early stage, but the Bolivia such as Chorolque, Tasna and Choroma, rapid discovery rate shows that the mineralizing located in the same geological trend system is very extensive with potential for multiple large silver-tin polymetallic deposits 34
