Cautionary Statements

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including predictions, projections, and forecasts. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "planning", "expects" or "does not expect", "continues", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "potential", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", or describes a "goal", or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward- looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements include, among others: plans for the evaluation of exploration properties including the Valeriano Copper-Gold Project; the success of evaluation plans; the success of exploration activities; mine development prospects; potential for future metals production; changes in economic parameters and assumptions; all aspects related to the timing and extent of exploration activities including the Phase III drill program contemplated in this press release; timing of receipt of exploration results; the interpretation and actual results of current exploration activities and mineralization; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; the results of regulatory and permitting processes; future metals price; possible variations in grade or recovery rates; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; the results of economic and technical studies; delays in obtaining governmental and local approvals or financing or in the completion of exploration; timing of assay results; as well as those factors disclosed in ATEX's publicly filed documents.

Although ATEX has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Mr. Ben Pullinger, P.Geo. registered with the Professional Geoscientists Ontario, is the Qualified Person, as defined by Canadian Securities National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects, for the Valeriano Copper Gold Porphyry Project. Mr. Pullinger is the Senior Vice President Exploration and Business Development of ATEX. He has reviewed and approved the disclosure of the scientific and technical information contained in this presentation.

The Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, for ATEX's exploration activities in Chile prior to June 2022 is Sergio Diaz, a resident of Santiago, Chile. Mr. Diaz is a Public Registered Person for Reserves and Resources No. 51, in Chile and is also registered in the Colegio de Geólogos de Chile under No.315.

RESOURCE ESTIMATE DISCLOSURE

The September 2023 Mineral Resource Statement was prepared by.Mr. Joled Nur, Civil Mining Engineer, SRK Consulting (Chile) SpA . Mr Nur is responsible for the Valeriano resource estimates and a is member of the Public Register of Competent Persons in Mining Resources and Reserves of Chile, No. 181, is the independent qualified person ("QP"), as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects..

The underground Cu-Au porphyry inferred resource is reported above a cut-off grade of 0.40% Cu. The underground resources are reported inside a constraining shape generated at a cut-off grade of 0.3% Cu based on a Cu price of US$3.15 a Au price of US$1,800/oz, a Ag price of US$23/oz, and a Mo price of US$20 recoveries 90% for Cu, 70% for Au, 80% for Ag and 60% for Mo and informed by benchmark economic inputs including mining costs, milling costs recoveries, G&A and metals sales costs. The following formula was used for the Cu equivalent calculation - CuEq % = Cu % + (6481.488523

  • Au g/t/10000) + (94.6503085864 * Ag g/t/10000) + (4.2328042328 * Mo g/t/10000). Tonnage and grade estimates are in metric units. Contained gold ounces are reported as troy ounces.

The gold oxide inferred resource estimate is constrained within an optimized pit shell at a cut-off grade of 0.275 g/t gold based. The cut-off grade is calculated using a gold price of US$1,800/oz, a silver price of US$23/oz, and gold and silver recoveries of 78% for gold and 50 % for silver and bbenchmark economic inputs including mining costs, milling costs recoveries, G&A and metals sales costs were applied. The formula used for the gold equivalent calculation was: AuEq g/t = Au g/t + (0.00840643275 * Ag g/t) Tonnage and grade estimates are in metric units. Contained gold ounces are reported as troy ounces.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO INVESTORS REGARDING PRESENTATION OF MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

This presentation also includes reference to estimates of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves is inherently uncertain and involves subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation, the anticipated tonnages and grades that will be mined and the estimated level of recovery that will be realized), which may prove to be unreliable and depend, to a certain extent, upon the analysis of drilling results and statistical inferences that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates may have to be re-estimated based on, among other things: (i) fluctuations in the price of copper and gold; (ii) results of drilling; (iii) metallurgical testing and other studies; (iv) changes in proposed mining operations, including dilution; or (v) the possible failure to receive required permits, approvals and licenses.
