Cerro de Pasco Resources to Pursue Secondary Listing on the Lima Stock Exchange
The Company has retained Kallpa Securities SAB ('Kallpa') as its sponsor and advisor for the listing process. Kallpa is a Peruvian investment firm specializing in equity sales, research, and corporate finance. It is the exclusive sponsor for all ten junior mining companies currently listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and cross-listed on the BVL. Since its founding in 2008, Kallpa has become one of Peru's leading brokerage firms, ranking 8th in trading volume among 20 Peruvian brokers, and widely recognized as the country's leading mining research house.
The listing application is expected to be filed within the next 30 days, with completion anticipated within approximately two to three months, subject to regulatory approvals.
Strategic Rationale for the Listing
CDPR's planned listing on the BVL reflects its strong commitment to Peru and the broader Andean region, where the Company's flagship asset — a silver-rich polymetallic reprocessing project targeting Cerro de Pasco's historic tailings — is located. A BVL listing will:
Improve access for Peruvian and regional investors seeking exposure to sustainable mining and environmental remediation;
Broaden CDPR's shareholder base and enhance trading liquidity; and
Align the Company with Latin America's most active equity market for mining.
The BVL is now part of NUAM Exchange, the newly formed regional holding company integrating the stock exchanges of Chile, Colombia, and Peru into a single regional market (www.nuamx.com). It offers listed companies increased visibility and access to a deeper pool of institutional and retail investors across the Andean region. While each participating country retains its own regulatory framework, joint initiatives are underway to harmonize various processes such as IPO requirements, filings, custody, and settlement.
Streamlined Regulatory Approach
As a TSX Venture Exchange-listed company, CDPR benefits from the TSXV Passport Listing Process, which allows qualified issuers to fast-track secondary listings on approved exchanges such as the BVL. This process is designed to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate time to market — all while maintaining robust disclosure and governance standards.
The BVL recognizes the TSXV as an authorized market under its regulatory framework. As a result, CDPR's listing will not create additional regulatory burdens. The Company will continue to report under Canadian securities laws, leveraging its existing compliance structure to meet local requirements in Peru.
Market Overview
NUAM Exchange: As of recent data, NUAM integrates the stock exchanges of Chile, Colombia, and Peru, with a combined market capitalization of approximately USD $476 billion, making it the second-largest integrated equity market in South America.
Lima Stock Exchange (BVL): The BVL hosts 275 listed companies, with a combined market capitalization of approximately USD $190.7 billion, and a strong concentration in the mining and industrial sectors.
Role of Kallpa Securities
As CDPR's designated sponsor, Kallpa will:
Guide and support all regulatory and procedural requirements for the BVL listing;
Serve as CDPR's representative before Peruvian authorities and the exchange; and
Lead the Company's marketing and investor outreach efforts in Peru, Chile, and Colombia following the listing.
Executive Commentary
'A listing on the BVL would enhance CDPR's visibility and trading liquidity, while opening the door for broader participation in the Company's growth from Latin American institutional and retail investors, including Peruvian pension funds,' said Guy Goulet, CEO of CDPR. 'We view this as a natural step forward in aligning our capital markets presence with the region where our core operations and long-term vision are anchored.'
Additional updates on the listing process will be provided as they become available.

Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek chief "ambivalent" about Lac Des Iles mine closure
The closing of Impala Canada's Lac Des Iles palladium mine is being greeted with a mixture of ambivalence and confusion by those close to the site. Over the past decade, the mine has been a source of tension between various owners of the operation, and the local First Nation. The palladium mine is located within Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek, also known as Gull Bay First Nation, roughly 90 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay. Impala Canada's CEO, Tim Hill, announced the mine's closure at July 3. Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek's chief, Wilfred King, says very few of the mine's employees are members of the First Nation. Despite the mine being located on their land, King describes Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek's relationship with Impala as minimal , which adds to why he feels "ambivalent" toward the mine's closure. In 2018, the mine's previous owner, North American Palladium, and Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek announced they had signed a letter of intent. North American Palladium was acquired by Impala Canada in October 2019. King says dialogue was not carried over with the new owners. "We were involved in the negotiations with Impala to look at a community benefit agreement and they basically shut the negotiations down," King said, adding Impala notified Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek "that they were no longer interested in developing a relationship with Gull Bay First Nation." The relationship between Impala Canada and Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek got off to a rocky start, due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the community the following May, with King attributing it to a previous outbreak at the mine. Despite a lack of a community benefit agreement with Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek, Impala Canada spokeswoman Emily Robb confirmed the company has community benefits with Fort William First Nation and Whitesand First Nation. "Impala Canada is always striving for and working towards caring and respectful relationships with all of our community partners, Indigenous communities, and the Union representing our workforce, and we will continue to do so," Robb said in a statement to the CBC. Union left scratching its head over closure Impala's decision to close the mine was rooted in a nearly two year period of slumping palladium prices, according to Robb. When the company first purchased North American Palladium, the cost of palladium per ounce was roughly $2416.63 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. By the end of April 2021, the stock price had risen 68 percent to $4065.57 per ounce. Although prices dropped below $1237.11 last May, they have been steadily on the rise ever since. On Thursday, the closing stock price for an ounce of palladium was $1809.36. The rise in stock prices over the past year has left the union representing the mine's workers baffled at Impala's decision to close down its Lac Des Iles operations. United Steel Workers (USW) currently represents 530 workers at the site. "I'm not buying it's because of low palladium prices," said Cody Alexander, USW's staff representative for Thunder Bay and the surrounding area. "it seems like there's a failure to have meaningful relationships with the First Nations there in order to get the support that they need to expand those ponds." Alexander added Hill sent out a memo last March indicating the company was financially stable, a sentiment that was later reiterated at a collective bargaining meeting between the company and USW in October. A history of environmental concerns Issues relating to the mining site's tailing pond have arisen in repeated accusations of environmental damage from Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek. In 2015, before Impala Canada took over operations, untreated water spilled over from the tailings pond into the adjacent Lac Des Iles after a period of heavy spring rain. And in the days prior to signing a letter of intent with North American Palladium, members of Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek blocked off the flow of traffic on the private road leading into the mine, in part due to the environmental impact of the mine. "Very little benefit accrued to Gull Bay First Nations by the results of that mining operation in the core of our traditional territory," King said. Regarding Impala's efforts to operate in an environmentally responsible manner, Robb said "we have worked very hard to care for the environment, we have always complied with environmental regulations, and we will do so going forward as well." Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek's chief confirmed that the tailings pond was at capacity, and said that expanding the tailing pond had been discussed, but that the First Nation had repeated concerns over the design and methods used for any proposed expansion to the pond. If the tailings ever breached the dam, copper would flow into the adjacent lake, King said, adding that after the tailings leak in 2015, Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek was never "given any kind of assurances that this would never happen again." Next steps In his memo to Lac Des Iles staff, Hill said the mine would work to shut down operations by the end of May next year, though the final closing date is dependent on multiple factors including tailings pond capacity, and the company's ability to meet production targets. Currently, the company is in negotiations with USW to formulate a closure agreement. Alexander said for steel workers, the union is looking for enhanced severance above Employment Standards Act standards, including a retention bonus for employees who decide to stay on to help with the closure of the mine and extended benefits. Upon closure, the mine will be returned to Kiashke Zaaging Anishinaabek, though King sees little evidence the site can be remediated, calling it a "wasteland." However, King did not rule out the possibility of continuing mining operations at the site after Impala's closure, so long as the right agreements are in place. He also says that a separate tailings facility would have to be built. "We're not against development," King said. "Our first and foremost concern has always been the environment, and we're for development providing it's done in a sustainable way and that there are minimal impacts to the environment."

A new Bitcoin stock with high-conviction management
Since its founding in 2009, Bitcoin has surpassed a market capitalization of C$3.2 trillion, according to Coin Market Cap, attracting more than 400 million users worldwide thanks to its monumental returns – over 27,000 per cent since 2016 – as well as softening regulation and a growing role as a reserve asset and portfolio diversifier uncorrelated with both stocks and fiat currency. This content has been prepared as part of a partnership with Bitcoin Treasury Corp., and is intended for informational purposes only. That said, cryptocurrency remains a nascent asset class subject to wide swings, with numerous bull and bear markets having increased investors' heart rates over the past decade, and more likely to come as use-cases experience the normal cycle of creation and destruction every new technology must endure before becoming a permanent feature of human life. Crypto's risk of high volatility is why investors interested in the space are best served by gathering experts in their corner, allocating into management teams whose pedigrees speak for themselves when it comes to harnessing innovation into stakeholder value. A new stock worth evaluating under this thesis is Bitcoin Treasury (TSXV:BTCT), market capitalization C$89.7 million, a Canadian provider of institutional-grade Bitcoin services, including lending, liquidity and collateral, in conjunction with a treasury mandate that has accumulated 771.37 Bitcoins to date following a C$70 million purchase announced on June 27. The company's management team, composed of crypto industry veterans, brings a wealth of experience with strategic decision making aligned with value creation that goes a long way towards de-risking a retail investment. Let's meet them now: Elliot Johnson, Bitcoin Treasury's chief executive officer and chief compliance officer, previously served as chief investment officer and chief operating officer at Evolve, where he helped the asset manager launch some of Canada's first crypto investment vehicles, including a spot Bitcoin ETF (EBIT) and Ether ETF (ETHR), gaining a thorough understanding of how to build the infrastructure behind physically settled crypto products. Prior to Evolve, Johnson was senior vice president (VP) of retail markets at Fiera Capital, a top Canadian firm with more than C$100 billion under management, preceded by a technology management leader for numerous business lines at National Bank of Canada. Kaitlin Thompson, chief operating officer, currently serves as VP of product strategy at Evolve, which manages nearly C$300 million across six crypto ETFs. Her expertise spans product development and research for both traditional and digital assets. Thompson built her career over numerous years at Mackenzie Investments, where she progressed from the company's Business Management Rotational Program into a business development manager role overseeing advisors across the country. Heather Sim, chief financial officer (CFO), is a Chartered Professional Accountant with public company experience in Canada and the United States focused on crypto and traditional financial compliance. Sim has been president of Treewalk, an accounting solutions provider, since 2019, CFO of DMG Blockchain Solutions (TSXV:DMGI), an end-to-end blockchain technology developer, since 2021, and held the role of CFO at software company VSBLTY Groupe Technologies (CSE:VSBY) from 2020 to 2021. Finally, Keith Crone, chief marketing officer (CMO), has built a more than 25-year track record in investing sales and marketing, currently serving as CMO of Evolve. Career highlights include tenures as VP of retail markets at Fiera Capital, VP and partner of Propel Capital – which raised approximately C$1 billion in structured products within five years of operation – and senior VP of sales at JovFunds, the specialty investment arm under Jovian Capital, a financial holding company catering to the private wealth management market. Protected by a management team well-versed in monetizing crypto market demand, the Bitcoin stock offers a strong qualitative green flag towards a potential investment, earning considerable conviction in what the company is capable of delivering on in the quantitative category as service offerings hit the market and the growing treasury purifies its exposure to its target asset. To this end, Bitcoin Treasury has filed a preliminary short-form base-shelf prospectus in Canada that would allow it to distribute up to C$300 million in any combination of common shares, preferred shares, debt securities, subscription receipts and warrants over a 25-month period, granting it flexibility to respond to market volatility from a position of strength. See Johnson's interview with Stockhouse's Lyndsay Malchuk for further context. With the stock currently trading at a market capitalization well below the more than C$124 million its treasury would fetch on the open market, and Bitcoin's analyst consensus trending higher over the near-term and long-term – thanks to U.S. government enthusiasm, de-dollarization across the rest of the world, not to forget crypto's legitimate use-cases beyond the capabilities of traditional finance – it feels like a propitious time to open a risk-adjusted position in Bitcoin Treasury and build it as a greater allocation is earned through positive news flow, taking advantage of any dips along the way, allowing the company's highly-customized management team to deploy capital in line with shareholder value.
