LARA SIGNS AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE LICENSE ADJACENT TO ITS PLANALTO PROJECT

Lara Exploration Ltd.'s wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary has signed a purchase and sale agreement with Atlantica do Brasil Mineracao Ltda. to acquire an exploration licence adjacent to Lara's Planalto copper-gold project in the Carajas mineral province in Northern Brazil. The 345-hectare licence lies along strike from and has the potential to add to Lara's Silica Cap resource.

Lara has agreed to drill a minimum of 2,000 metres and to prepare a National Instrument 43-101-compliant technical report (TR) by the end of 2027. Under the terms agreed with Atlantica, Lara will make the following staged payments, based predominantly upon exploration success:

1. A total of $375,000 in Lara shares to Atlantica on acceptance of the agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange. The number of shares will be based on the 20-day volume weighted average price of Lara's shares preceding the issuance date.
2. By December, 2027, Lara will pay a success fee equivalent to six U.S. cents/pound of copper contained in measured and indicated resources in the TR.
3. By December, 2028, Lara will pay an additional success fee on the same terms on any additional measured and indicated resources included in an updated TR.
4. On any additional measured and indicated resources estimated in any subsequent TR after the end of 2028, the success fee will be calculated at a rate of eight U.S. cents/lb of copper.

The success fee can be paid in instalments annually, in either cash or Lara shares at Lara's discretion, with a maximum of $1.25-million (U.S.) due in any one year. There is a minimum payment of $500,000 (U.S.) regardless of the resource size discovered due at the end of 2027. Atlantica and an underlying vendor will each be entitled to a 1-per-cent net smelter return royalty on any production derived from the licence.
