ASOMIVA and GoldenEx Announce Strategic Partnership to Modernize Colombian Gold Mining Operation Through Digital Asset Framework

Taraira, Vaupés, Colombia -- The Asociación de Mineros del Vaupés (ASOMIVA), holder of Mining Title 4448A in Colombia's Taraira Gold Belt, has
announced a strategic partnership with GoldenEx to scale its gold mining operation through a gold-backed digital asset framework.

The partnership, which has been in development since 2024, marks a new phase for the 35-year-old community mining association as it seeks to modernize operations and open access to international investment through the tokenization of verified gold reserves.

ASOMIVA's concession, granted by the Colombian National Mining Agency (ANM) under Law 685, covers 362 hectares in the Guiana Shield geological formation.
Independent assessments indicate an average gold grade of 21.3 grams per tonne, significantly above the global industry average of 1 to 5 g/t, with
proven reserves of approximately 135,850 metric tonnes containing an estimated 93,000 ounces of gold.

"This partnership represents the future of responsible artisanal mining," said Carlos Rodriguez, Vice President of ASOMIVA. "For over three decades, our
members have worked this land legally and sustainably. GoldenEx gives us the tools to bring our operation to its full potential while keeping the benefits in our community."

Andrew Leetch, Chief of Operations for GoldenEx at the ASOMIVA site, added: "The Taraira deposit is exceptional -- both in grade and in its legal standing.
ASOMIVA holds one of the few fully permitted, environmentally licensed mining titles in the Colombian Amazon. Our role is to bridge this real-world asset
to global capital markets through a transparent, gold-backed digital framework."

About the Operation

The mine operates using a low-impact Chambers and Pillars underground extraction method, designed to minimize environmental disruption in the Amazon rainforest. ASOMIVA holds a valid environmental license (Resolution DSV-446-19) issued by the CDA and operates under a Forest Reserve Subtraction decree (Resolution 0387, 2013) from the Colombian Ministry of Environment.

The operation is currently in its exploitation phase, with plans to scale production toward 100 kilograms of gold per year while transitioning to fully
mercury-free processing methods.
