Lucky Minerals Samples 8.08 g/t Gold Across 7.0 Meters Including 17.63 g/t Gold Across 3.0m at Wayka

Wayka lies along an elevated ridge that trends northeast with elevations ranging from approximately 3,600 meters to 3,700 meters above sea level. Recent mapping and sampling of two separate rhyolite altered outcrops has encountered continuous gold values.

Wayka -Systematic sampling across 7.0 meters identifies another potential feeder with 3.0 meters averaging 17.63 g/t gold
A rhyolite outcrop (Trench T-6) 700 meters north of the previously announced 4.0 meter trench (Trench T-1) which averaged 3.03 g/t gold (see News Release dated July 12, 2021), was sampled across 7.0 meters and returned an average of 8.08 g/t gold. With the last 3 samples (262957, 262959 & 262960) returning an average of 17.63 g/t gold across 3.0 meters and sample 262959 returning 26.50 g/t gold. See table below.

Trench T-6 Rhyolite Outcrop Sampling
Samples 262957, 262959 and 262960 lie within a breccia 'feeder' zone. These samples are characterized by elongated stacked gray narrow (0.25 cm - 0.50 cm) quartz lenses partially broken up (brecciated), in a goethite-limonite silica matrix. See photo below.

The rhyolite outcrop to the north was sampled across 10.0 meters (1.0 m x 1.0 m panels) and returned an average of 0.38 g/t gold. See table below.

Francois Perron President and CEO states 'Geological work at Wayka continues thanks to the sustained efforts of the team. Our confirmation that the large advanced argillic zone previously defined has potentially economic grades of gold is very significant and exciting. These new trenches confirm the presence of mineralization more than 700 meters from our previous trench that averaged 4 meters at 3.03 g/t gold (see News Release - July 12, 2021). Our understanding of the mineralization is still in the early stages and will continue to improve over the coming weeks as more work is completed from surface which will be followed by drilling in the coming months.'

Fortuna - Next Steps

Wayka
Exploration teams are focused on geological mapping and the gathering of rock samples from outcrop to increase our understanding of the current zones and expand the known footprint of the mineralized system. This work will be followed by a detailed mag survey and compilation of all geologic data which will subsequently lead to scout drilling.

El Garo - Soil Sampling Continues
Field work continues at El Garo which is located less than 8 kilometers north of Wayka. El Garo is a large epithermal system with outcrops of dacite and vuggy silica. Due to a lack of outcrop, the soil sampling program initiated last year is now presently in the process of being completed. Results from this program will be combined with trenching followed by a detailed mag survey leading to a drilling program at El Garo.

Macuche - Geological Field Work Continues
Field work continues at Macuche mainly comprised of geological mapping and sampling. Also, old pit type excavations are being cleared of brush to expose the bedrock.

QA/QC Protocols
All exploration work is completed following QA/QC protocols and include the insertion of a coarse blank, a standard and duplicate sample on every batch of 25 samples.

Samples are being submitted approximately every two weeks to ALS Chemex Labs in Quito for preparation work, and the analytical work is completed at their lab facility in Lima, Peru. ALS Chemex is an ISO certified and accredited laboratory. Results will be released as they are received.
