Kobrea Exploration Corp. Receives Approval to Conduct Mineral Exploration at El Destino, Sofi and Cuprum Projects

Kobrea Exploration Corp. (CSE: KBX) (FSE: F3I) (OTCQB: KBXFF) ("Kobrea" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies of the Province of Mendoza, Argentina, have ratified by law, Environmental Impact Statements for an additional 27 exploration projects in the Western Malargüe Mining District (the "WMMD"). As a result of the approvals, all of Kobrea's projects are now approved for mineral exploration activities, including drilling. At the Company's El Perdido Project, construction of an access road to the drill site is ongoing and construction of an exploration camp is underway in anticipation of the maiden diamond drilling program set to commence in the coming weeks.

"Exploration projects within the Western Malargüe Mining District continue to be overwhelming approved by the Provincial Legislature of Mendoza Province," commented James Hedalen, CEO. "In the session of the Mendoza Senate held on December 9, 2025, in which the Environmental Impact Statements for the additional 27 exploration projects in the Western Malargüe Mining District of Mendoza, including the Kobrea projects, were approved by law, the Environmental Impact Statement of the San Jorge Project was also discussed and approved by law. The San Jorge porphyry copper project is located in Uspallata in northern Mendoza Province (Las Heras District), outside of the Western Malargüe Mining District, but the approval of mine development and construction of this project is a huge step forward for mineral exploration and development in the province of Mendoza. These approvals clearly demonstrate that the provincial government and the people of Mendoza support mining and believe in the economic opportunities that sustainable exploration and development will bring. I would like to congratulate the government of Mendoza, Impulsa Mendoza, the Chamber of Mining in Mendoza and the project vendors for their many years of hard work to get to this point."
