About Ascendant Resources Inc.

Ascendant Resources is a Toronto-based mining company focused on the exploration and development of the highly prospective Lagoa Salgada VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) project located on the prolific Iberian pyrite belt in Portugal. The Lagoa Salgada project is a high-grade polymetallic project, demonstrating a typical mineralization endowment of zinc, copper, lead, tin, silver and gold. Extensive exploration upside potential lies both near deposit and at prospective stepout targets across the 7,209-hectare property concession.

Located just 80 kilometres from Lisbon and surrounded by exceptional infrastructure, Lagoa Salgada offers a low-cost entry to a significant exploration and development opportunity, already showing its minable scale and cash flow generation potential.

Ascendant currently holds an 80-per-cent interest in the Lagoa Salgada project through its position in Redcorp-Empreendimentos Mineiros Lda.

We seek Safe Harbor.
