Adventus Mining and Salazar Announce Additional Drilling Results for El Domo Underground, Including 5.50 metres of 7.58% Copper Equivalent

Toronto - Adventus Mining Corporation ('Adventus Mining') (TSX-V: ADZN, OTCQX: ADVZF) and Salazar Resources Limited ('Salazar') (TSX-V: SRL, OTCQB: SRLZF) (collectively the 'Participants') are pleased to announce the additional infill drilling results from the underground portion of the El Domo volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit ('El Domo') located within the 21,537-hectare Curipamba project in central Ecuador. The infill drilling program for the underground portion of the Mineral Resource at El Domo, as announced in the August 29, 2022 press release, continues with two diamond drill rigs.

Highlights - Drill Results from the El Domo Deposit at Curipamba:

CURI-400 intersected 5.50 metres of 6.00% copper, 0.38 g/t gold, 6.02% zinc, 15.2 g/t silver, and 0.01% lead for 7.58% copper equivalent ('CuEq')

CURI-399 intersected 3.79 metres of 5.72% copper, 4.25 g/t gold, 5.24% zinc, 100.4 g/t silver, and 0.26% lead for 9.02% CuEq - including 1.57 metres of 11.95% copper, 9.41 g/t gold, 12.45% zinc, 234.0 g/t silver, and 0.59% lead for 19.84% CuEq

CURI-397 intersected 3.12 metres of 0.48% copper, 5.07 g/t gold, 5.23% zinc, 164.1 g/t silver, and 1.99% lead for 6.29% copper equivalent CuEq - including 0.89 metres of 1.35% copper, 14.70 g/t gold, 17.40% zinc, 507.4 g/t silver, and 6.74% lead for 19.47% CuEq

Drill hole CURI-397 intersected a thick section of lower-grade semi-massive sulphide from 185.10 to 199.15 metres with a narrower section from 185.10 to 188.22 metres, grading 0.48% copper, 5.07 g/t gold, 5.23% zinc, 164.1 g/t silver, and 1.99% lead. A higher-grade subset was intersected from 185.73 to 186.62, grading 1.35% copper, 14.70 g/t gold, 17.40% zinc, 507.4 g/t silver, and 6.74% lead.

All results from the infill drilling program are to be used in updating the underground portion of the Mineral Resource estimate for El Domo in 2023, which will be part of a future feasibility study that will integrate the development a potential underground operation in addition to the planned open pit (see August 29, 2022 news release). Figure 1 illustrates the drill locations for the results of the five drill holes outlined in this news release. Drill collar location coordinates are summarized for the infill and geomechanical drilling programs in Table 1 at the end of this news release.

For reference, the last Mineral Resource estimate completed in accordance with NI 43-101 for El Domo was published as part of the Feasibility Study report titled: 'NI 43-101 Technical Report, Feasibility Study, Curipamba El Domo Project, Central Ecuador', with an effective date of October 26, 2021 on SEDAR.

Technical Information and QAQC

The Curipamba project work program is being managed and reviewed by Vice President Exploration, Jason Dunning, M.Sc., P.Geo., a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101. Salazar staff collect and process samples that are securely sealed and shipped to Bureau Veritas ('BV') in Quito for sample preparation that includes crushing and milling to prepare pulps that are then split for shipment to their facility in Vancouver, Canada for analysis. All assay data have undergone internal validation of QAQC; noting there is an established sampling control program with blind insertion of assay blanks, certified industry standards and sample duplicates for the Curipamba project. A QAQC program is also in place at BV and includes insertion of blanks, standards, and duplicate reanalysis of selected samples. BV's quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025: 1999. At BV, samples from regional drilling have silver and base metals analyzed by a modified ore grade 24-element aqua regia technique with ICP-ES finish. Gold is analyzed by fire assay fusion with AAS finish. Overlimit protocols are in place for gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.
