porphyry project ("Andrea Project") located in northern Chile, 100 km east of the city of La Serena. The property is located at the

western margin of the Miocene aged El Indio belt that hosts the world class El Indio and Pascua Lama epithermal gold and silver deposits.

The Company acquired the rights that constitute the Andrea Project through three option agreements. Under these option agreements the Company can acquire 100% interest in the project, subject to net smelter return (NSR) royalties, through cash payments as follows:

During the first four months of 2021, the Company conducted a ground-based induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey at the Margarita Project which consisted of a total of 49-line km with lines spaced every 250 m. The results of the program have demonstrated two north-northwest trending chargeability anomalies that are approximately 3 km by 500 m in dimension at a threshold of 30 millivolts, which is consistent with the presence of sulphide minerals. Importantly, these chargeability anomalies spatially overlap with resistivity lows that are consistent with hydrothermal alteration and form the basis of geophysical targeting at the project. Torq also recently completed 1:5000 scale geological mapping and has defined two major structural trends, north- northwest and west-northwest. The Company believes these structures control the emplacement of copper oxide mineralization, hydrothermal breccias, intrusive bodies and alteration that is consistent with IOCG/porphyry deposits. The areas of chargeability highs and resistivity lows are aligned in north-northwest structural corridors. Additional data layers of detailed geological mapping and geochemical surveys will complete the targeting process at the project as the Company prepares to drill the project in the third quarter of this year.
