DLP Resources hits 7.8 g/t Au at Esperanza; expands target to 5km x 2.5km

Highlights Gold up to 7.8 g/t and silver up to 27.7 g/t from surface rock samples, confirming a precious metals-bearing system at Esperanza, in addition to the copper and molybdenum already identified. Exploration target expanded to 5 km x 2.5 km, one of Southern Peru's largest undrilled copper-gold footprints. Gold, silver, copper and molybdenum all confirmed within the same target area indicating a complete precious and base metal signature.

All independent datasets converge on one target: geophysics, surface geochemistry, and rock alteration all overlap on the same footprint: hallmark of a genuine, large-scale copper-gold system. Low surface copper values signalling the main part of the deposit has not been exposed and remains potentially intact at depth. Maiden 3,000-metre drill program advancing through permitting, with commencement expected in Q3 2026.

Cranbrook, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 25, 2026) - DLP Resources Inc.   (TSXV: DLP) (OTCQB: DLPRF) (FSE: J8C) (" DLP " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce new surface rock sampling results up to 7.8 g/t gold and 27.7 g/t silver, from its Esperanza copper-gold project (" Esperanza " or the " Project ") in southern Peru, located 35km south of the Cerro Verde mine, one of the largest copper deposits in the world (Figure 1). Additionally, a drone-based magnetic survey has extended the size of the exploration target to 5 km x 2.5 km (previously 3 km x 2.5 km), making Esperanza one of the largest untested copper-gold targets in Southern Peru. All datasets, geophysics, geochemistry and rock alteration mapping, now converge on a single footprint, indicating the potential for a large, well-preserved copper-gold deposit that remains unexposed at surface.

"These are the results we've been building towards at Esperanza," said Ian Gendall, President and CEO of
