VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/

Golden Arrow Resources Corporation (TSXV: GRG) (FSE: G6A) (OTCQB: GARWF), ("Golden Arrow" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company and Mogotes Metals Inc. ("Mogotes Metals") have agreed to amend (the "Amending Agreement") the previously announced option on the Mogote Copper-Gold Project, in San Juan Province, Argentina (the "Project"). The Amending Agreement grants Mogotes Metals an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Project (the "Amended Option") in exchange for CAD$1 million in a combination of cash and a private placement into the Company, plus a substantial equity interest in Mogotes Metals and a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty ("NSR") on the Project. To date under the previous option, Mogotes Metals has completed the minimum exploration expenditures at the Project.

Nikolaos Cacos, Golden Arrow's Vice President Corporate Development commented, "We are very pleased to further monetize our Mogote Project in a way that increases both the short-term value and long-term potential returns. We will be able to deploy the cash assets to advance exploration at our active projects in Argentina and Chile, particularly the exciting San Pietro copper-gold-iron-cobalt project where an initial mineral resource estimate is currently being completed. At the same time, we retain strong upside potential from the NSR, and the interest in Mogotes Metals who will continue exploring in this highly-prospective district adjacent to the prolific Filo del Sol copper-gold-silver trend."

Golden Arrow is also pleased to report that Hanaq Argentina S.A. ("Hanaq") has secured permits and commenced diamond drilling at the Company's Caballos Copper-Gold Project in La Rioja Province, Argentina, under the terms of the option agreement announced on March 9, 2021. The project is in a porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold-silver district at the intersection between the south end of the Maricunga Copper-Gold Belt with the northern extent of the El Indio Gold-Silver Belt, approximately 23 kilometres north of Lundin Mining's Josemaria Project. This is the first time that the prospective targets at the property have been drill tested. The initial program is expected to include 3 holes totaling approximately 1,000 metres. [Proximity to a mineral resource, deposit, or mine does not indicate that mineralization will occur on Golden Arrow's property, and if mineralization does occur, that it will occur in sufficient quantity or grade that would result in an economic extraction scenario.]

Brian McEwen, Golden Arrow VP Exploration and Development stated, "We are pleased to see advanced exploration permitting and drilling at Caballos, which reflects the recent positive shift in support for exploration from the authorities in La Rioja. Our strategy of optioning non-core assets like Mogote and Caballos is starting bear fruit, and we look forward to a productive year ahead from our joint-venture partners as well as at our own portfolio of core exploration prospects in Argentina."
