Rosa Ventures Activates Option Agreements with Initial Deposit Payments on Chilean Copper Projects

August 26, 2026

Rosa Ventures Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has activated its option agreements with New Era Minerals Investments SpA by completing the first deposit payments totaling USD $20,000. These payments secure the Polanco Porphyry Copper-Gold Project and the San Lázaro Porphyry Cu-Au (Mo) Project, both located in highly prospective copper belts of Northern Chile.

The initial deposits lock in the exclusive option rights to acquire a 100% interest in each project under the previously announced Letters of Intent. This milestone enables Rosa Ventures to finalize the establishment of its Chilean subsidiary, advance NI 43-101 technical reports in support of its planned listing, and move one step closer to becoming a publicly listed company through a reverse takeover transaction.

“This payment brings us closer to where we want to be, shows our commitment, and lets our shareholders know that we’re making progress,” said Ned Nadima, Chief Executive Officer of Rosa Ventures. “We look forward to getting to work and showing the quality of our assets, of the team, and most importantly creating value for our shareholders.”

Under the terms of the option agreements, Rosa Ventures holds five-year exclusive options to earn 100% ownership of each project through staged payments totaling USD $2,000,000 per project and minimum exploration expenditures of USD $5,000,000 per project. Upon exercise, the vendors will retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Return royalty on each property, subject to standard buyback provisions.

Both projects benefit from prior technical work that has outlined compelling porphyry-style targets in world-class copper districts. Polanco is situated in the Paleocene Porphyry Copper belt, while San Lázaro lies in the Upper Eocene-Oligocene belt approximately 15 km south of the Collahuasi mining district.

This progress aligns with Rosa Ventures’ strategy of acquiring and advancing district-scale copper opportunities in Chile, one of the world’s leading copper-producing countries. With rising global demand for copper driven by the energy transition, electrification, and renewable infrastructure, the Company remains focused on building a high-quality portfolio capable of delivering meaningful shareholder value.
