DIABLO’S CRITICAL MINERAL PROJECTS – UTAH

The Company has two high-value critical projects located in Utah, a Tier-One jurisdiction that plays a key role in America’s future critical minerals supply: the Phoenix Copper Project and the Star Range Silver-Antimony Project.

PHOENIX COPPER PROJECT

The Phoenix Copper Project is located approximately 70 kilometers southwest of Moab, Utah, containing sediment-hosted copper mineralization along strike from the currently producing Lisbon Valley Copper Mine (“LVCC”). Exploration completed during 2025 identified three priority target areas—Philadelphia, Trenton, and Fair Dinkum.

At Philadelphia, rock and channel sampling of outcropping mineralized zones returned significant results over more than 750 meters of strike, including:

>6m @ 2.13% Cu, including 1m @ 7.16% Cu

>Rock samples up to 45.7% Cu

At Fair Dinkum, rock grab sampling over 100 meters of outcrop returned significant results including:

>Cu up to 2.76% and Ag up to 92 g/t

>Averaging 1.12% Cu with 7 of 13 samples >1.0% Cu

The Company is aggressively exploring the project, having recently completed its maiden drill program with results pending.

STAR RANGE SILVER-ANTIMONY PROJECT

The Star Range Project is located approximately 6 kilometers west of the town of Milford in Beaver County, southwestern Utah, and 15 kilometers northwest of the Horn Silver Mine - one of the largest producers of silver in the United States until 1930. Historical rock sampling returned bonanza silver grades up to 8,760 g/t Ag (309 oz/t) and antimony greater than 1% Sb at surface. Two prospect areas have been identified with significant results including.

South Star Prospect – Significant rock samples returned:

>8,760 g/t Ag and +1% Sb

>1,190 g/t Ag and 0.2% Sb

>938 g/t Ag and 0.2% Sb

North Star Prospect – Significant rock samples returned:

>1,310 g/t Ag and 0.4% Sb

>1,380 g/t Ag and 0.5% Sb

>621 g/t Ag and 0.6% Sb

Exploration has commenced, including surface sampling and mapping, with an airborne magnetic survey being planned.
