Scale of the Organization |

Describe how the organization defines its "Operation" |
The Company is a junior gold mining exploration company with a subsidiary and operations in Sinaloa Mexico. It undertakes a range of activities to help determine the economic prospectivity of its mining concessions. Those activities follow the federal and state guidelines for exploration within our mineral claims, and include exploration drilling, mapping and sampling the surface rocks, as well as taking soil samples. Defining drill targets where we then drill to test the mineralization; sampling the core or chips returned from drilling and sending to independent laboratories to assay contained elements. One half of all core or chips are warehoused after sampling. Modelling of results will facilitate decisions on exploration target prioritization and project development timelines |

There have been no significant negative impacts as the Company has maintained a relatively small operation to date. As the project nears development and increases activities in the local area more feedback will be required. A whistleblower system is being implemented using Integrity Counts. This system will help manage any complaints relating to financial or fraud matters. Management will evaluate any complaints or concerns and ensure that issues are resolved in timely manner. In the coming years, the Company intends to use additional features of the Integrity Counts platform and introduce a formal grievance mechanism. The grievance mechanism will be rolled out to the community with appropriate training and guidance on how to access and use the platform to provide feedback about any project concerns or potential impacts. |

Emissions described in Scope 1 include use of light vehicles, drilling rigs, water pumps and heavy machinery by the Company and contractors. Besides internal control of fuel consumptions, an expert consultant is hired to keep track of these emissions following Mexican standards based on IPCC guidelines. A minimal increase in carbon footprint was observed compared with 2022. |

Discuss any change in its emissions from the previous reporting period, including whether the change was due to emissions reductions, divestment, acquisition, mergers, changes in output, and/or changes in calculation methodology |
Small changes are observed in emissions from last year due to a small increase in drilling related activities performed by the Company and contractors. |

Prime is an exploration company, as such, emissions are restricted to light vehicles and portable drill rigs. As a result, emissions are kept to a minimum and the Company's carbon footprint is small.
Prior to the transition to a development stage company, Prime will evaluate a long-term strategy to minimize or neutralize emissions when the Los Reyes Project enters development and is operational. |

Water is used in drilling related activities performed by third party contractors hired by the Company, it is withdrawn from streams and old mining works with previous authorization. During diamond drilling the same water volume together with biodegradable additives is reinjected to the ground, avoiding damage to the water balance of the area.
Amari offices, camps and storage facilities account for 3.5% (0.9 thousands of cubic meters) of total water consumption.
Significant decrease is observed in the volume withdrawn for drilling in comparisson to 2022, since several drill holes intercepted considerable water volume, thus avoiding the extraction of water from streams in the area. |

Operation activities include diamond drilling. Water used is reinjected back into the earth at the natural source.
Exploration activities performed by the Company use water withdraw from natural sources, but during the execution of these the total volume, water is returned to the source through diamond drilling. |

Water availability is controlled by natural seasons with heavy rains followed by exceptionally dry weeks on opposite ends of the calendar. In general, water is readily available with proper managment including wells and ponds.
No real consumption at this stage, since all the volume withdrawn is reinjected during drilling activities. |

Describe the nature of any social risks, for all operating countries, that could have a material impact on the operations |
The ability to operate could be adversely impacted by accidents or events detrimental (or perceived to be detrimental) to the health, safety and well-being of employees and community members. Mining has many detractors. |

Details: Prime could be blamed for environmental changes or perceived social harms to the community. Increased dust, local water consumption, employment, and operational activities may impact local perceptions. Changes to the area may impact local ability to access resources or be seen as threatening to the local community's existing way of life.
Community protest
The Company’s relationships with the communities in which it operates, and other stakeholders are critical to ensuring the future success of the construction and development of its projects. In contrast to the many benefits that mining provides to communities including good paying long-term jobs, taxes paid to local and federal governments, infrastructure and other investments in local communities, improved roads, and access to remote areas, improved power and water access, and financial support of rural and low income communities nearby, there is an increasing level of public concern relating to the perceived effect of mining activities on the environment and on communities impacted by such activities. Publicity adverse to the Company, its operations, or extractive industries generally, could have an adverse effect on the Company and may impact relationships with the communities in which the Company operates and other stakeholders.
External opposition
Certain non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”), some of which oppose globalization and resource development, are often vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices, including the use of cyanide and other hazardous substances in processing activities. Adverse publicity generated by such NGOs could have an adverse effect on the Company’s reputation or financial condition and may impact its relationship with the communities in which it operates. |

In 2021, the Company conducted a third-party Environmental and Social Baseline Study in the mining concession area to better understand existing basic environmental and community conditions in the regions where we are exploring (“Area of Influence”).
In 2022 water storage works and other community support was provided.
During 2023, an Education Program was implemented assessing enrollment and basic needs in schools inside the Area of Influence. School supplies were provided to over 250 K- 12 students. Construction of water ponds to benefit locals was performed as part of the Water Program, where over 180 heavy machinery hours were invested. Activities such as roads improvement and donation of heavy machinery hours to Ejido tenants to assist them in raising cattle and crops continued as prior years.
We aspire to continually improve our strong relationship with the Ejido and support programs to enhance the socioeconomic condition of its members. |
