Atico Mining Corp. has commenced archeological research activities within the operational area of La Plata mining project in Ecuador. These works are designed to identify, protect, conserve and scientifically document any archeological or historical heritage that may be present in the area. The research is being conducted under the company's existing authorization and in full compliance with Ecuador's Organic Law of Culture and its implementing regulations.

In parallel with the archeological program at La Plata, Atico is initiating the construction of a wildlife transit centre and a plant nursery.

These activities are essential preparatory steps ahead of the mine construction phase and underscore the company's determination to advance La Plata project responsibly, with full respect for both cultural heritage and the surrounding ecosystem.
