This document summarizes Aldridge Minerals' Yenipazar polymetallic project in Turkey. The project has a defined mineral resource and preliminary economic assessment showing robust economics. Aldridge plans to advance the project through feasibility study and permitting while continuing exploration and metallurgical test work to improve the resource and project economics. Recent drilling results indicate potential to increase the resource through grade and recoveries.
