Orosur Mining Inc Announces El Cedro Sampling Opens New Horizons
Rhea-AI Summary
Orosur Mining (TSXV:OMI / AIM:OMI) reports exploration progress at the Anzá project, Colombia, after acquiring 100% ownership. Key updates: soil sampling at El Cedro found high‑grade gold soils (locally >1 g/t Au) across ~2km x 3km; drone magnetic and APTA surveys completed; Pepas rig moved to a new nearby target while Pepas West assays are pending.
Drilling continues at APTA, nine holes drilled at Pepas West, and El Cedro is being prepared for near‑term drilling pending targeting and access permits.

LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2026 / Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the "Company") (TSXV:OMI)(AIM:OMI), is pleased to announce an update on the progress of exploration activities at the Company's exploration project at Anzá in Colombia ("Anzá").
Anzá - Colombia
The Anzá Project in Colombia comprises a number of granted exploration titles and applications totalling roughly 330km2, within the Mid-Cauca gold belt, west of the city of Medellin.
These titles and applications are owned by two Colombian companies, Minera Anzá, and Minera Monte Aguila, both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The latter of these was acquired by Orosur in November 2024 from the Company's previous JV partners, Newmont Mining and Agnico Eagle Mines. Orosur thus owns
Since acquiring
Pepas - a shallow, high-grade body of gold mineralisation for which the Company has calculated a Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"), announced on February 10th 2026.
APTA - a high-grade body of gold mineralisation that has to date seen over 38,000m of historical drilling, and at which drilling is currently underway.
El Cedro - a cluster of gold porphyry intrusions in the south of the Project area that are currently subject to mapping and sampling programs, with a view to potentially being drilled later in H1 2026.

El Cedro
The El Cedro prospect lies to the south of the same integrated licence that hosts both Pepas and APTA and is roughly 4km south of the APTA base camp.
Work on the area began some years before Orosur's tenure, when Anglo American undertook reconnaissance mapping and sampling, identifying a highly prospective gold/copper porphyry system. This work was largely focused on a small soil program in the centre of what was known of the northern porphyry, plus mapping in flanking creeks and drainages which identified several veins systems with rock chips returning over 10 g/t Au.
Little work was then undertaken until late 2021, when the Company's previous JV partner, MMA, re-entered the area to carry out mapping, sampling and ground geophysics that largely confirmed Anglo American's previous work and mapped several large dioritic intrusions and associated epithermal systems.
Post resumption of control of the Project, the Company began a large-scale soil geochemical survey in May 2025, planned to cover most of what was thought to be the extent of the porphyry system as it was known at the time. Soil samples were taken at roughly 25m intervals, along ridges and spurs for ease of access and to ensure soils were residual. Results from this work were announced on October 30th, 2025, which included the identification of a second intrusive body immediately south of the known northern body.

Identification of this second body led to the commencement of an additional soil and mapping program to the same specifications.
Assay results from this new program demonstrate this southern intrusive system to be largely similar to the northern body, demonstrating high grade gold in soils, at times over 1g/t Au, over total area of roughly 2km x 3km.
Mapping suggests both intrusive systems to be geologically similar and therefore likely to be related events (albeit based on limited outcrop) but with slightly different geomorphological settings and soil profiles.
Both sit within the same N-S structural corridor with the highest-grade soil and rock chip samples being in fault systems between the two intrusions and on the flanks of each, suggesting the presence of porphyry associated epithermal systems.

A detailed drone mounted magnetic survey has just been completed over the southern portions of the Anzá project area, including El Cedro and APTA. It is anticipated that several weeks may be required to finalise processing of these data, which can then be used in conjunction with the recent sampling data at El Cedro and drilling currently underway at APTA, to develop new drill targets in the region.
It is anticipated that drilling can commence at El Cedro in the near term once targeting and access permitting has been completed.
Pepas
As announced on April 14th, 2026, a new zone of gold mineralisation ("Pepas West") has been discovered some 100m west of the Pepas deposit, which geologically, bears a close resemblance to Pepas.
Excluding two previous holes from early 2025, in this recent campaign, nine holes have now been drilled into this new zone (PEP082 to PEP090). Results from holes PEP082 and PEP083 have already been announced, with samples from the remaining holes either in the laboratory or being prepared for shipment.
In the meantime, the decision has been taken to temporarily move the Pepas rig to a new target several hundred metres to the south, which will also allow time for data from this recent drilling at Pepas West to be compiled and examined.
Mineralisation identified in this new western zone closely resembles Pepas, suggesting the possibility that both are derived from the same original source, but then broken up by post mineralisation faulting. The Company believes it is important to understand the structural setting that has led to the emplacement of Pepas West and the implications of this for both extension and repetitions.
Orosur CEO Brad George commented:
"With the possibility of three rigs operating soon on three prospects, Anzá is now inexorably growing in scope, scale and complexity. The picture is emerging of a substantial mineralised province, the surface of which is only now starting to be scratched."
