CautionaryStatement
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements concerning anticipated developments in Prospero’s operations in the future.
Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always, identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,”
“estimates,” “potential,” “possible,” and similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions or results “will,” “may,” “could,” or
“should” occur or be achieved. These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding exploration results and budgets,
reserve estimates, mineral resource estimates, work programs, capital expenditures, timelines including timelines for third-party studies
and issuance of permits to operate by various government agencies, strategic plans, the market price of metals, costs, or other statements
that are not a statement of fact. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and therefore involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties
and other factors. Prospero’s forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date
the statements are made, and Prospero does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or
management’s beliefs, expectations and opinions should change.
Cautionary note to U.S. investors: the terms “measured and indicated resource”, “mineral resource”, and “inferred mineral resource” used
in this document are Canadian geological and mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
(the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. We advise U.S. investors that while such terms are recognized and
required under Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize these terms. Mineral Resources do not have demonstrated economic
viability. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to Reserves. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of or be included in feasibility or other studies. U.S. investors are cautioned
not to assume that any part of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

Prospero’sStrategy
Usestate-of-the-artgeologicalthinkingtotargetblind
mineraldepositsinMexico’sworld-classAltiplano
mineralbelt.
“Prospero is identifying targets where the present level of erosion lies above, but relatively close, to the top of epithermal ore
zones. These represent the largest untapped potential in Mexico´s mineral belts. Mexico´s exploration history has now evolved
and matured to a level that requires the application of modern, multi-disciplinary geologic tools to look for concealed targets.”
