Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) provided an update today on the drill results from its ongoing surface in-fill diamond drilling program on the Las Brisas Target at its Zancudo Project in Colombia. The most notable intercept was achieved in drill hole ZM-210 which returned continuous Au mineralization over approximately 33 m from 203.0 m to 235.95 m grading 5.68 g/t Au, including 20.18 g/t Au over 3.10 m from 229.0 m to 232.10 m (Santa Catalina Splay) and 26.35 g/t Au over 2.50 m from 233.45 m to 235.95 m (Santa Catalina) with additional continuous intervals of 1 g/t to 6 g/t Au in the hanging wall and between the two main structures.
Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Denarius Metals, commented, “The thick, high-grade interval in ZM-210, the hanging-wall mineralization and the emerging Manto Antiguo Lower structure, all identified in the latest round of drilling, continue to demonstrate the high-grade continuity and upside of the Santa Catalina and Manto Antiguo systems and the potential for resource growth at our Zancudo Project”.
The results announced today have been received from the final assays for additional 8 drill holes from the Las Brisas Target totaling approximately 1,610 meters, bringing the total drilling completed to date at the Zancudo Project to 2,270 meters in 12 drill holes. This press release presents complete results from drill holes ZM-200 through ZM-206, and preliminary Au results for drill hole ZM-210, which were drilled as in-fill holes from platforms IF-08, IF-12 and IF-05 to primarily test the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures. Approximately 40% of the total surface in-fill drilling program at the Las Brisas Target for this year has been completed by mid-August, the cut-off date for results reported in this press release. The 2026 drilling program aims to tighten drill spacing within the Las Brisas Target to 50 meters between drill centers, allowing for the potential reclassification of resources to higher confidence classification categories in the next mineral resource update.

Notes to Las Brisas table: |
|
| (1) | The intervals are core lengths. The true widths are estimated to be 80% to 90% of the lengths. |
| (2) | Equivalent gold grades (AuEq g/t) were calculated using prices of US$3,200/oz gold and US$40.00/oz silver. Gold equivalent formula: AuEq = Au + (Ag / (Au Price/Ag Price)). |
| (3) | “Unknown”: new structure that doesn’t correlate with any of the known structures/veins. |
| (4) | There are no results above cut-off grade for drillhole ZM-203 and it is not listed in the table. |
| (5) | Ag results for drill hole ZM-210 are still pending. |
Please refer also to the attached illustrative images 1 to 5 showing the location of the drill holes reported herein from the 2026 drilling campaign along with a sketch of the main structures for the Las Brisas Target, a cross-section showing drill holes ZM-210 and ZM-213, and two long sections showing intercept locations for the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina structures.
Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina Structures
The Manto Antiguo structure, which was the main structure historically mined, is interpreted as a WNW-ESE trending brecciated manto-type structure that merges into the footwall of the Santa Catalina structure. The northerly-trending Santa Catalina structure, which dips steeply to the east near surface and gently at depth, is interpreted as a mineralized master fault structure and feeder of mineralization for the entire vein system. In the footwall of the Santa Catalina structure, below Manto Antiguo, lies another manto-type structure called Manto Antiguo Lower, which exhibits the same characteristics as Manto Antiguo, being usually narrow and having a typical breccia texture with incipient quartz-sulphide banding and milled wall rock clasts. The mineralization consists of pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Fragments of argillic-altered schist are observed, which host pyrite veinlets.
2026 Drilling Program
The 2026 drill program comprises a planned total of 15,100 meters on several target areas within the Zancudo Project, including Las Brisas, El Castano, Independencia Mine and brownfield. The 2026 drill program has been designed to deliver important data for further resource modelling, mine planning and optimization of production stope design to guide our mine development programs as Denarius Metals ramps up mining activities at Zancudo in 2026 and 2027 to feed the Project’s new 1,000 tonnes per day flotation processing plant that is currently under construction and expected to be operating later this year.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
All the core samples were prepared and assayed for Au by Actlabs Laboratories Ltd (ISO 9001:2015) at their laboratory in Zona Franca Rionegro, Antioquia, Colombia, by 50 g fire assay with atomic absorption spectrophotometer (“AAS”) finish. Subsequently, the pulps were shipped to their laboratory in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada (ISO/IEC 17025) for multi-element analysis by Agua Regia-ICP-OES. Samples above the upper detection limit of 5.0 g/t gold were re-assayed by 30 g fire assay with gravimetric finish, while silver and base metals were analyzed in a multi element analysis by partial digestion and ICP-OES finish. Blank, standard and duplicate samples were routinely inserted and monitored for quality assurance and quality control.
About Denarius Metals
Denarius Metals is a Canadian junior company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and eventual operation of precious metals and polymetallic mining projects in high-grade districts in Colombia and Spain. Denarius Metals is listed on Cboe Canada where it trades under the symbol “DMET”. The Company also trades on the OTCQX Market in the United States under the symbol “DNRSF”.
In Colombia, Denarius Metals is producing gold and silver in an “early production” phase at its 100%-owned Zancudo Project while it completes construction of a 1,000 tonnes per day processing plant that is expected to start producing high-grade gold-silver concentrates in the fourth quarter of 2026. The Zancudo Project is a high-grade gold-silver deposit, which includes the historic producing Independencia mine, and is located in the Cauca Belt, about 30 km southwest of Medellin.
In Spain, Denarius Metals has interests in three projects focused on in-demand critical minerals. The Company owns a 21.8% interest in Rio Narcea Recursos, S.L. and is the operator of its Aguablanca Project, which has been recognized by the EU as a Strategic Project. The Aguablanca Project comprises a turnkey 5,000 tonnes per day processing plant and the rights to exploit the historic producing Aguablanca nickel-copper mine, located in Monesterio, Extremadura. Denarius Metals also owns a 100% interest in the Lomero Project, a polymetallic deposit located on the Spanish side of the prolific copper rich Iberian Pyrite Belt, approximately 88 km southwest of the Aguablanca Project, and a 100% interest in the Toral Project, a high-grade zinc-lead-silver deposit located in the Leon Province, Northern Spain.
Denarius Metals entered into a strategic collaboration in early 2026 as JV partners with ProGrowth Ltd. Company, a Saudi-based diversified group of companies, focused on the processing, smelting and commercialization of material sourced from the Company’s projects and to identify, acquire, develop and operate gold and nickel mining concessions within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
