Los Andes Copper Ltd. reported that on July 20, 2022, the Second Environmental Court in Chile revised the preliminary injunction issued on March 18, 2022 that suspended drilling. The Court decided that drilling can continue, with certain restrictions, at the Vizcachitas Copper Project under the Company's environmental license. Following the injunction, the Company prepared and filed with the Environmental Court several scientific reports, technical studies and legal opinions showing that the drilling program is compatible with the protection of the Andean Cat and the overall environment.

The Court decision authorized the Company to continue drilling at the Vizcachitas project, with certain operational conditions, including a restricted drilling plan for the first 12 months proposed by the Company. This plan will allow the Company to pursue its original program of illuminating and defining extensions of the mineralized body which still remains open. Los Andes reiterates its full commitment to complying with all its environmental obligations and continues to engage with all interested parties in a climate of mutual respect.

The Company will continue to expand its previous successful drill program while pursuing the larger goal of completing a Prefeasibility Study in Fourth Quarter 2022.
