History and Company Overview

TVI is a publicly traded Canadian resource company focused on evaluating and acquiring interests in resource projects across the Asia-Pacific region.

TVI’s management boasts a proven track record of success, including developing the first foreign-invested mine in the Philippines following the enactment of the Philippine Mining Act of 1995. From 2004 to 2014, TVI achieved significant production milestones at the Canatuan mines, including:

    • 105,200 ounces of gold,

    • 1.8 million ounces of silver,

    • 199,778 tonnes of copper concentrate, and

    • 30,548 tonnes of zinc concentrate.

During this period, TVI was recognized as one of the most responsible mining operators in the Philippines.

Until 2014, TVI operated through its wholly owned Philippine subsidiary, TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (“TVIRD”). In December 2013, TVI divested control of TVIRD but retained a 30.66% interest in the joint venture, maintaining joint control and continuing to benefit from the subsidiary’s ongoing operations.

TVI Management’s Track Record and Current Projects

Agata Nickel/Iron Mine
TVI’s management has consistently demonstrated operational excellence, as evidenced by the success of the Agata Nickel/Iron Mine, operated by Agata Mining Ventures Inc. (AMVI). Operations began in October 2014, and as of January 31, 2024, AMVI has shipped an impressive 20.78 million wet metric tonnes (wmt) of nickel laterite through 382 shipments.

Despite an earlier May 18, 2022, disclosure projecting mine closure by October 2022, operations successfully continued until the final shipment in August 2023. Rehabilitation activities have commenced in alignment with the Final Mine Rehabilitation and Decommissioning Plan (FMRDP). AMVI operates as a joint venture, with TVIRD holding a 60% interest, alongside Mindoro Resources Ltd. (15%) and Minimax Mineral Exploration Corporation (25%), with TVIRD serving as operator.

Balabag Gold-Silver Mine
TVIRD’s 100%-owned Balabag Gold-Silver Mine has been a flagship project since its first shipment of gold doré on September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2024, Balabag has achieved 136 shipments, producing:

    • 82,182 kg of doré,

    • 115,683 ounces (oz) of gold (Au), and

    • 2,453,884 oz of silver (Ag), totaling 144,492  gold equivalent ounces (AuEq oz).

Balabag’s success underscores TVIRD’s ability to bring projects online and deliver consistent production, contributing significantly to the company’s revenues.

Siana Gold Mine and Mapawa Project
On November 4, 2021, TVIRD acquired 100% equity in Greenstone Resources Corporation (GRC), owner of the Siana Gold Mine and Mapawa Project, located in Mindanao, Philippines. Previously associated with Red 5 Limited (ASX: RED), GRC reported combined historical Indicated JORC 2012 mineral resources of:

    • 4.3Mt @ 4.6 g/t Au and 6.8 g/t Ag, and

    • Inferred resources of 0.5Mt @ 8.9 g/t Au and 10.6 g/t Ag.

While these figures are not treated as current resources under NI 43-101 standards, they underscore the potential of the assets pending further validation.

Key achievements at Siana include:

    • Completion of Tailings Storage Facility 6 (TSF-6), which is now operational for mill tail deposition.

    • Between December 2022 and December 31, 2023, 365,249 tonnes of low-grade stockpile material with an average grade of 0.68 g/t Au and 4.37 g/t Ag were milled.

    • Since start of soft commissioning to December 31, 2024, Siana had smelted and sold 2,561 kg of doré, containing 27,462 oz of Au and 56,448 oz of Ag, totaling 28,086 gold equivalent ounces (AuEq oz).

Mabilo Project
On January 31, 2022, TVIRD acquired a 60% indirect interest in the Mabilo Project through its purchase of SageCapital Partners, Inc., which holds a controlling stake in Mt. Labo Exploration and Development Corporation (MLEDC).

Located in Camarines Norte, Philippines, Mabilo is a near-surface copper-gold-iron skarn deposit with significant potential for direct shipping ore (DSO) operations. A historical NI 43-101 Technical Report prepared by Lycopodium Minerals Pty Ltd. (filed May 2, 2016) outlined Probable Mineral Reserves of 7.8Mt @ 2.0% Cu, 2.0 g/t Au, 8.8 g/t Ag, and 45.5% Fe.

Initial open-pit mining will begin with DSO operations, followed by the production of copper concentrates containing gold and silver through a processing plant.  Recent progress at Mabilo includes:

    • Updated mineral resource and reserve estimates based on current commodity prices

    • Updated permitting and government compliance requirements

    • Continued land acquisition to secure mining areas for eventual operation

    • Sustained community engagement through Social Development and Management Program (SDMP) initiatives and environmental programs

    • Finalizing permitting and financing plans, setting the stage for full-scale development.

Summary

TVI Pacific Inc. holds a 30.66% interest in TVIRD, which operates these strategically significant mines and projects. While TVI does not directly operate or control TVIRD’s ventures, its association ensures continuous portfolio growth and value creation.

With proven operational success, a diversified portfolio, and ongoing development of high-potential assets like Balabag, Siana, and Mabilo, TVIRD demonstrates its commitment to sustainable growth and operational excellence, making TVI Pacific an attractive investment opportunity.

As the previous 100% owner of TVIRD, TVI’s focus upon responsible mining established the framework through which TVIRD received and has continued to receive various environmental and safety awards for its exceptional performance. The following is a full record of past and current awards:
