NEWS RELEASE

**Fortuna expands West African presence, forms exploration alliance in Guinea with DeSoto Resources**

**Vancouver, October 2, 2025: Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM \| TSX: FVI**) is pleased to announce it has executed a binding Heads of Agreement (HOA) with DeSoto Resources Limited, an Australian-listed gold exploration company, to establish an exploration alliance and joint venture across the highly prospective Siguiri Basin in Guinea.

**New Exploration Front**

Paul Weedon, Senior Vice President of Exploration at Fortuna, commented, "Guinea's Siguiri Basin has demonstrated potential to host multi-million-ounce gold deposits in a country with a long mining history. This agreement with DeSoto provides Fortuna with an excellent entry into this highly prospective region, alongside a highly qualified and experienced team with a proven track record of discovery across West Africa."

**Key Agreement Terms**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 binding HOA establishes an exploration alliance to apply for and acquire new permits in identified
 areas of interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
 new joint venture company (JVCo) will be formed, with a board of up to four directors, two
 from each party, with the majority partner holding a casting vote.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Project Generation Phase*: A 36-month period focused on identifying "Go Projects",
 meaning significant discoveries warranting further development.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Joint Venture Phase*: Once a Go Project is agreed upon, JVCo will transition into a formal joint
 venture in which Fortuna will hold 70 percent and DeSoto will hold<br>
 30 percent, and Fortuna will solely fund exploration until the later of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· three
 years; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· US$12.5
 million in cumulative expenditure across Go Projects.
