1 SUMMARY
Mining Plus has been commissioned by Titiminas Silver Inc. (“Titiminas”), to prepare a
Technical Report (the “Report”) aligned to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and
Petroleum’s (“CIM”) NI 43-101 code, for the Madre Sierra Property in central Peru (“Madre
Sierra” or “the Property”).
Mr. Manrique (QP) undertook an independent inspection of the Property between October
13th and 16th, 2021 and he is responsible for all sections of the Report.
Titiminas is a private company with its’ registered headquarters recorded as Suite 1050, 400
Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3A6. Titiminas intends to list on the TSX
Venture Exchange, and the Report has been prepared for this purpose.
On November 20th, 2021, Titiminas Silver entered a share purchase option agreement to
acquire the shares representing the capital stock of Compañía Minera Rosalinda S.A.C.
(“Rosalinda”). As a result of this agreement, Titiminas is entitled to conduct mining activities
on Rosalinda’s Madre Sierra Property in the Junín Region of Peru.
Veins at the Property have a been mined on a small-scale, Rosalinda acquired permission to
mine up to 350 tpd of polymetallic mineralization from a determined area at the Madre Sierra
mine. Between 2019 and 2020 Rosalinda reported the pilot processing of 1,000 tonnes of
polymetallic mineralization from the Madre Sierra mine. There is no data regarding the
average grade or recoveries from this pilot processing.
Because of the unsafe nature of some mine workings, Mr. Manrique (QP) was not able to
review all mine workings, and to compile this report he has used on historical mine plans to
supplement his observations.
There are indications that the property may host part of a wider porphyry system, including,
large zones hydrothermal alteration and iron oxides at surface, zones of phyllic, propyllitic
and silicic alteration mapped on the 4370 and 4406 levels of the Madre Sierra mine, low-angle
molybdenum veining at Janiscocha, and stratigraphically controlled Ag-Pb-Zn anomalism
noted at multiple prospects.
Historical exploration of the Property has not been systematic, and results have been poorly
documented, there are no indications that the Property has been drilled.
Based on his review of historical documentation and site visit, Mr. Manrique (QP) is satisfied
that the Property warrants further exploration, and he considers that the Property is
prospective for polymetallic vein hosted mineralization and possibly mineralization related to
a porphyry hydrothermal system.
• The Madre Sierra Property hosts polymetallic veins at the Madre Sierra mine, these
veins have been mined most recently on a small-scale by Compañía Minera Rosalinda
S.A.C.
• The Property is underexplored and warrants systematic evaluation
• Beyond the historically mined polymetallic veins, the Property has potential to host
mineralization related to a porphyry hydrothermal system, this could include, skarn,
manto and porphyry deposit styles. Further exploration is required before this
potential can be fully understood
• Projections of polymetallic veins and manto-tyle mineralization, indicated by Ag-Pb-
Zn anomalism in soil are compelling exploration targets.

Eight of the concessions form contiguous block, the other two concessions are isolated from
the contiguous block. Third-party concessions occupy some of the intervening space between
the Concessions.
Considering overlaps, the total footprint of the Property is approximately 3016 hectares.
The approximate center coordinates of the Property in the UTM WGS 84 and Lat/Long WGS
84 (Zone 18S) coordinate reference systems have been provided in Table 3-2.
On November 20th, 2021, Titiminas entered a share purchase option agreement to acquire
the shares representing the capital stock of Compañía Minera Rosalinda S.A.C (“Rosalinda”).
As a result of this agreement, Titiminas is entitled to conduct mining activities on Rosalinda’s
Madre Sierra Property in the Junín Region of Peru.
In Peru, surface sampling is not subject to permitting, however, a concession holder must
acquire permission from the legal owner of the land prior to sampling. Advanced exploration
such as trenching, or drilling is subject to permitting. Titiminas has not acquired permits for
advanced exploration.
On October 21st, 2019, Compañía Minera Rosalinda S.A.C. (the “Company”) entered into a
surface rights agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Yauli Community (the “Community”).
The Yauli Community incorporates portions of the Yauli and Ricran Districts, the approximate
area covered by the Agreement has been shown in Figure 3-2. Key points of the agreement
have been summarized below:
• The Company will pay the Community 90k soles annually of which 20k is to be used to
fund education, health and infrastructure projects
• The Community grant access to the Company to part of the Property (Figure 3-2) for
the purpose of undertaking “actividades mineras” (mining activities)
• The Agreement is void if the Company fail to make an agreed payment
• The Agreement is transferable to third parties.
The Agreement was valid for two years, however, recognizing the impacts that the
Coronavirus pandemic had on planned activities, both parties agreed to extend the
Agreement for a further year, until October 21st, 2022. Commented [PM4]: If you are going to publish this report
now with a modified effective date then this will need to be

[sic] has acquired permissions to mine and process up to 350 tpd (up to 30 days a month)
from a designated part of the SMC Madre Sierra 3 concession (Figure). The permission
considers, underground mining of metallic sulfide minerals (Pb, Ag, Cu, Zn, Au), camp,
warehouse, magazine, and toilet/shower facilities.
Titiminas has confirmed that the Property is not subject to any royalty, back-in rights,
payments, or other agreements and encumbrances.
The Property does not host defined environmental liabilities. However, Mr. Manrique (QP)
notes that historical mining activities could have generated legacy issues that may need
remediating.
Mr. Manrique (QP) is not aware of any other significant factors or risks that may affect access,
title, or the right or ability to perform work on the Property.
Physiography is characterized by rounded high slopes with deeply incised valleys. The
Property ranges between 4100 and 4700 metres above sea level.
Vegetation is not extensively developed and is characterized by short grasses and shrubs.
It is possible to fly from Lima Jorge Chavez airport to the Jauja Francisco Carle airport and
drive to the Property. Alternatively, it is possible to drive from Lima to the Property via San
Mateo, La Oroya, and Jauja. Approximate distances and travel times have been summarized
in Table 4-1.
Vehicular access to various parts of the Property is facilitated by a series of unpaved roads,
4x4 vehicles are recommended. Other parts of the Property can be accessed on foot.
It is possible to explore the Property throughout the year, however, the exploration season is
considered to be between March and December when rainfall is at its lowest.
The Property is at an early-stage and formal engineering studies for mining infrastructure (i.e.,
camp, processing plant, tailings storage) have not been considered. During his site visit Mr.
Manrique (QP) noted sites that he considered are potentially suitable for mining
infrastructure.
5 HISTORY
A detailed history for the Property is not available.
Evidence of historical mining of mineralized structures is present at the Madre Sierra and
Janiscocha areas of the Property. Mines plans suggest that the 4370 level of Madre Sierra has
been most extensively developed with workings extending over approximately 300 m. Access
to mines workings is currently unsafe and Mr. Manrique (QP) has not been able to verify the
full extent of mining on the 4370 level.
Historical reports and plans indicate that Rosalinda has conducted programs of systematic
exploration, including:
Titiminas entered into a share purchase option agreement to acquire the shares representing
the capital stock of Compañía Minera Rosalinda S.A.C.. As a result of this agreement, Titiminas
is entitled to conduct mining activities on the Property as of November 20th, 2021.
To complete Section 6.1 of the Report, Mr. Manrique (QP) has used historical exploration data
presented in the following documents:
Mr. Manrique (QP) notes that documentation of historical work is incomplete; sample
locations are given as points on a map, however, sample coordinates, descriptions etc... are
not available.
Mr. Manrique (QP) is satisfied that the data presented in Section 6.1 of the Report is suitable
for indicating the exploration potential of the Property and for highlighting areas of
exploration interest.
Level plans for the 4370 and 4406 level shows Ag, Pb, Zn, Cu, and Ag assay values for an
unknown number of samples (Figure 5-1Figure 5-1). Grade ranges have been summarized in
Table 5-1.
Historical plans and sections indicate zones of superficial Ag-Pb-Zn anomalism at the
Titiminas, Yanacocha, and Jajachaca areas. Anomalism is coincident with the contact between
the Chambara Formation sediment and Mitu Group volcano-sediment. The base of the
Chambara sediments hosts the anomalism.
Mr. Manrique notes that the extent of sampling or strength of anomalism is not reported.
The Instituto Geológico Minero y Metalúrgico (INGEMMET), part of Peru’s Ministry of Energy
and Mines, publish regional geological maps at 1:100k scale with accompanying bulletins that
describe the regional geology of Peru. INGEMMET also publishes geological maps at 1:50k
scale for some areas of Peru.
Mr. Manrique (QP) has summarized Regional Geology based on the sources listed above
(Figure 6-1 and Figure 6-2):
• The Property straddles metallogenic belts III and XVII. Metallogenic belt III is
recognized for hosting porphyry and skarn U-W-Sn-Mo, Au-Cu-Pb-Zn deposits related
to Permian and Triassic intrusive activity. Metallogenic belt XVII is recognized for
hosting Eocene epithermal (Au-Ag) deposits and Eocene-Miocene polymetallic vein
deposits
• Basement geology is represented by the Palaeozoic Maranon Metamorphic Complex
(MMC). The MMC is exposed northeast of the Property
• Palaeozoic sedimentary units representing the Cabanillas, Ambo and Tarma groups
are exposed to the south and west of the Property
• The Property is hosted in folded and faulted Permian-Jurassic sedimentary sequences
(Copacabana, Chambara, Aramachay, and Condorsinga) and the volcano-sedimentary
Mitu Group
• A significant exposure of the Cretaceous Coastal Batholith is exposed immediately east
of the Property
• Structure and lithologies are typically aligned to or are antithetic to the northwest
Andean Trend. Thrust and normal faulting in the Andean Trend, northeast trending
faults, east-west strike slip faulting are particularly well developed in the area of the
Property.
Significant lithological units in the area of the Property have been described based on
Geological Bulletin #22:
Grey continental sandstone with carbonaceous shale and fine layers of carbon. Minor volcanic
breccia, pyroclastic and ash deposits. Local silicification and chloritization reflect low-grade
metamorphism.
Interdigitated grey to black shale, sandstone, and minor limestone. Sedimentary units have
been variably metamorphosed to slate, phyllite, and metasandstone respectively.
Stratigraphic units are up to 2 m thick.
Lower Permian limestone with minor calcareous shale exceeding 700 m thickness.
Interdigitated beds of dark grey to black limestone between 0.2 and 2.0 m thick.
Mid to late Permian continental red sediments and purple volcanic breccias, flows and
deposits. Compositionally volcanics are andesitic to rhyolite.
Triassic package of white limestone, marls, and minor silt between 250 and 300 m thick. Part
of the Pucara Group of sediments. The Chambara Formation is heavily folded. An angular
disconformity separates Chambara from the underlying Mitu Group.
Jurassic package of carbonate rich sandstone with millimetric calcite veinlets, minor 10 to 30
cm layers of massive grey limestone and mudstone. Part of Jurassic Pucara Group of
sediments, the formation is approximately 100 - 150 m thick.
Part of package of light grey limestone with abundant fossils. Part of the Pucara Group of
sediments, the formation is approximately 300 m thick.
Six exploration targets have been identified at the Property, Figure 6-3 plots these targets
against regional 1:100k geological mapping. The six exploration targets are aligned in a
northwest trend and are hosted in Mitu Group volcano sedimentary units at the western flank
of a large Cretaceous stock. Mapping by Rosalinda indicates that Chambara Formation
sediments are more widely exposed than has been recorded on regional mapping.
Mr. Manrique (QP) reviewed the geology of the Madre Sierra and Janchiscocha mines during
his site visit, his observations from these areas have been reported in Section 7.3.1 and 7.3.2
respectively.
Descriptions of the geology of other exploration targets, not visited by Mr. Manrique (QP)
(i.e., Jajachaca, Chiquispampa, Titiminas, and Yancocha) are not available although some
information has been taken from historical plans and sections.
Polymetallic veins hosted in a massive granitic stock (tonalite to granodiorite) are exposed at
surface and in abandoned mine workings on the 4406 and 4370 levels. For safety reasons
mine workings were not fully accessible to Mr. Manrique.
Sub-vertical north-northwest trending veins pinch and swell along strike, from zero to 2 m
wide over distances between 8 and 30 m, average observed vein widths are 1 m. Massive
quartz with anhydrite veins host bands of massive galena and sphalerite up to 5 cm wide and
disseminated pyrite.
Mr. Manrique (QP) has relied on a series of level plans drafted by Compañía Minera Rosalinda
S.A.C. (July 2019) with geological observations to complement his description of the Madre
Sierra area:
6.3.2 Janchiscocha
Polymetallic vein hosted in a massive granite are exposed at surface and in abandoned mine
workings (the 4615 level was reviewed by Mr. Manrique). Molybdenite-quartz mineralization
has been introduced to the footwall of early milky white massive-quartz veins.
Low-angle (20 southwest) north-northwest trending massive milky-white quartz veins pinch
and swell along strike. Veins have a maximum thickness of 5 m; average vein widths are 0.3
m.
Late quartz-molybdenite veining at the footwall of the massive quartz vein is up to 0.3 m wide.
6.3.3 Titiminas
Plans and sections of the Titiminas exploration target show a northwest trending zone of
“sygenetic Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization” hosted in Chambara limestone and dolomite at the
contact with Mitu Group volcano-sediment. The mineralized contact dips approximately 50
to the southwest.
The 50 m wide zone of anomalism has been defined over an approximately 400 m northwest
to southeast trend and has been projected to depth along the contact (Figure 6-7).
6.3.4 Yanacocha
Plans and sections of the Yancocha exploration target show a northwest trending zone of
“sygenetic Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization” hosted in Chambara limestone and dolomite at the
contact with Mitu Group volcano-sediment. The mineralized contact dips approximately 50
to the south.
The 20 m wide zone of anomalism has been defined over an approximately 180 m east-west
trend and has been projected to depth along the contact (Figure 6-8).
6.3.5 Jajachaca
Plans and sections of the Jajachaca exploration target show a northwest trending zone of
“sygenetic Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization” hosted in Chambara limestone and dolomite at the
contact with Mitu Group volcano-sediment. The mineralized contact dips approximately 65
to the west.
The 5 to 30 m wide zone of anomalism has been defined over an approximately 900 m
northeast trend and has been projected to depth along the contact (Figure 6-9).
6.3.6 Comments by QP
7 DEPOSIT TYPES
The Property is being explored for deposit types related to a porphyry hydrothermal system,
including; polymetallic veins, mantos, skarns, and porphyry deposits (Figure 7-1).
Historically sub-vertical polymetallic (Ag-Pb-Zn) veins have been mined at the Property, these
vein types are noted for significant continuity along strike and down-dip. Exploration will
target along strike and down-dip projections of veins.
Exploration has identified zones of Ag-Pb-Zn anomalism at surface, this anomalism has been
classified as syngenetic and is lithologically controlled; anomalism occurs at the base of the
Chambara formation in contact with Mitu Group volcano-sediments. Exploration will target
along strike and down-dip projections of the contact.

As part of the Share Purchase Option Agreement, Titiminas has full management over
Rosalinda and the Madre Sierra project and has conducted some services related to
exploration activities. Commented [PM6]: Aspects that don't flow or make
sense currently:
- The dates of the expenditure are before the agreement in
8.1 Expenditure the paragraph above.
- The expenditures are to be mentioned but we do not

exploration activities in the Madre Sierra project. The details of these services are as follows: Commented [PM7]: This seems the best spot to mention
the expenditure although I does not flow perfectly with
some aspects not directly related to exploration.
Commented [PM8]: Is this correct?
Also, Titiminas has hired the services of Mining Plus to elaborate a NI 43-101 Report on the
Madre Sierra project. The amount of that service is as follows:
9 DRILLING
The Issuer has not drilled the Property.
11 DATA VERIFICATION
Mr. Esteban Manrique (QP) undertook the following steps to verify the data presented in the
Report.
• Reviewed public records of the Property concessions via the GEOCATMIN website
(https://geocatmin.ingemmet.gob.pe/geocatmin/) to query the status of the
concessions that form the Property
• Reviewed mineralization and geology at the Madre Sierra area on surface and on the
4370 level. Reviewed mineralization and geology on surface at the Janchiscocha and
Porphyry areas
• Took six independent selective grab samples from the Madre Sierra and Janchiscocha,
(Table 11-1). Samples were submitted for Fire Assay and Multi-element ICP analysis at
the independent CERTIMIN laboratory in Lima (Table 11-2). The assay certificate has
been provided as an appendix to the Report.
Mr. Manrique (QP) is satisfied that the information presented in the Report is adequate for
the purpose of summarizing historical data and geology and indicating the prospectivity of
the Property.
23 ADJACENT PROPERTIES
There are no significant properties within 20 km of the Property.
• The Madre Sierra Property hosts polymetallic veins at the Madre Sierra mine, these
veins have been mined most recently on a small-scale by Compañía Minera Rosalinda
S.A.C.
• The Property is underexplored and warrants systematic evaluation
• Beyond the historically mined polymetallic veins, the Property has potential to host
mineralization related to a porphyry hydrothermal system, this could include, skarn,
manto and porphyry deposit styles. Further exploration is required before this
potential can be fully understood
• Projections of polymetallic veins and manto-tyle mineralization, indicated by Ag-Pb-
Zn anomalism in soil are compelling exploration targets.
26 RECOMMENDATIONS
Mr. Manrique (QP) recommends the following:
All historical data should be compiled and Titiminas should undertake a program to verify and
expand upon available information.
Prospecting, mapping, and sampling should begin around known prospects with the aim of
projecting structures of interest along strike (veins, and Chambara and Mitu Contact).
Geologists should be aware of indications of a porphyry hydrothermal system.
The recommend exploration program is estimated to take 6 weeks to complete for a cost of
US$90k (Table 26-1):
