What Orestone Mining does

Orestone Mining Corp. is a publicly traded junior mineral exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a portfolio focused on gold, silver, and copper deposits in politically stable jurisdictions (British Columbia, Canada and Salta Province, Argentina). The company holds 100% ownership of three exploration-stage assets: the Captain Gold-Copper Porphyry Project (105 sq km in North Central BC, permitted for 79 drill locations and located 30 km south of the producing Mt. Milligan mine), the Francisca Gold-Silver Project (23 sq km in Salta, Argentina, where Phase I trenching returned 23.47m at 4.71 g/t Au and 28.54 g/t Ag in trench T8), and the optioned Las Burras copper-gold porphyry project in Argentina. Exploration relies on conventional and advanced techniques including MobileMT airborne magnetotelluric surveys, induced polarization (IP), magnetic surveys, geological mapping, trenching, and diamond core drilling.

The company is pre-revenue and does not generate operating cash flow. Funding is sourced entirely from equity private placements of units (common shares plus warrants) and flow-through shares, with ten disclosed financing rounds between February 2019 and April 2026 totaling roughly $13.9 million, including a $2.24 million placement closed in December 2025 and a $600,000 placement announced in April 2026 that included $180,000 in debt settlement. Crescat Capital LLC, a macro fund focused on mining and resource companies, has emerged as a strategic shareholder maintaining an 11.64% ownership stake through participation across multiple recent placements.

Common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (ORS), US OTC (ORESF), and Frankfurt (O2R2). Investor relations activities include news releases, conference attendance (PDAC, AMEBC Roundup, VRIC), webinars, and a retained IR consultant (Doug McKay and Associates at $9,000/month). The management team draws heavily from senior roles at Eldorado Gold, Bema Gold, Placer Dome, and WMC Resources, including individuals credited with the discovery of the Kisladag (8M oz) and Refugio deposits. The stated business objective is to advance exploration assets to a stage where they can be monetized via joint venture, acquisition, or mine development.

Products and services

• Captain Gold-Copper Porphyry Project A 100%-owned gold-copper porphyry exploration project in North Central British Columbia, Canada, approximately 41 km north of Fort St. James and 30 km south of the producing Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine. The project encompasses 105 square kilometres, hosts a large gold-dominant porphyry system with year-round road access, and is permitted for 79 drill locations.
• Francisca Gold-Silver Project A gold-silver exploration project located in Salta Province, Argentina, focused on defining an oxide gold deposit mineable by open-pit methods. The project has identified multiple gold mineralized zones including the South Gold Zone and North Gold Zone, with Phase I trenching collecting 675 rock chip samples confirming oxide gold mineralization over an 1,100-metre northwest strike length.
• Las Burras Project A copper-gold porphyry exploration project located in Argentina, optioned by Orestone in September 2024 to expand the company's portfolio of copper-gold systems in South America.

Quantifiable outcome

• Trench T8 at Francisca returned 23.47m grading 4.71 g/t gold and 28.54 g/t silver, including 6.26m at 12.31 g/t gold and 92.40 g/t silver
