Adventus Mining Corporation and Salazar Resources Limited announced that the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition of Ecuador ("MAATE") has completed the final consultation phase of the environmental consultation process for the El Domo - Curipamba project in central Ecuador (the "Project"), on December 15, 2023. The final consultation phase was carried out by MAATE in accordance with instructions and guidelines given by the Constitutional Court in ruling 51-23-IN/23 published on November 17, 2023. Six consultation assemblies, open to the public, were held in the canton of Las Naves in both the direct and indirect areas of influence of the Project.

As part of the process, MAATE presented changes and inclusions to the Project Environmental Management Plan and Environmental Impact Assessment based on community observations and feedback collected during the 14-day information phase carried out by MAATE in July 2023. Following the presentation of the updated environmental management plan, the community participants deliberated and then voted with 98% of people from the direct areas of influence of the Project voting in favour of issuing the environmental license for the Project. This positive outcome is a testament to the many years that the Participants have worked closely and transparently with local stakeholders to maintain and build the Project's social license to operate.

This result now clears the way for the expected issuance of the environmental license for the Project. The Participants are pleased to continue the advancement of the Project in line with recent guidance.
