Key project development milestone achieved for ANM Process No. 866.035/2009

Resouro Strategic Metals Inc. (TSX-V: RSM) (ASX: RAU) (OTCQB: RSGOF) (FSE: 8TX) has marked a further step in the advancement of the Novo Mundo Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, Ison do Brasil Mineração Ltda., successfully lodged the Mining Concession Application (Requerimento de Lavra) for ANM Process No. 866.035/2009 on 16 July 2026 .

“Lodging of the Mining Concession Application is a key regulatory step toward converting our trial mining operation at Novo Mundo into a fully licensed, long-term producing asset,” said Christopher Eager, Resouro’s Chief Executive Officer. “It reflects the steady execution of our permitting strategy in the Alta Floresta Gold Province and moves us closer to establishing Novo Mundo as a sustainable cash generator for Resouro.”

The area covered by ANM Process No. 866.035/2009 comprises around 930 hectares and is the subject of a trial mining operation being conducted under a Guia de Utilização, pursuant to the previously announced Binding Mining and Processing Agreement for Novo Mundo.

The submission of the Mining Concession Application represents the next stage in the ANM licensing process for Novo Mundo, and once granted, will authorize long-term commercial mining of the area. It further strengthens Resouro’s position as a growing gold developer with a meaningful presence in the highly prospective Alta Floresta Gold Province, one of Brazil’s prolific gold-producing regions.
