March 2022 Business Updates

From ECPN Board Chairman Doug Sanders

March 28, 2022

After many months of due diligence and meetings, we have executed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a
company that is well-regarded in the industry and with whom El Capitan has had a long association. Our intent is to enter into a joint venture agreement by which we would, initially, crush, process, recover — and sell — El Capitan PMs (Precious Metals). We are in the process of securing funds that would cover the equipment investment. When I am at liberty to share more details, you’ll be among the first to know and I anticipate that we will announce the JV agreement and plans within the next few weeks.

I’m also pleased to report news on two other fronts:

1 – We have completed an update to our 2014 43-101 Report and it will be posted to the El
Capitan website this week. The updated Report can also be accessed via this link:

2 – All land claims have been filed with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Lincoln
County.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t extend a “thank you” to the shareholders whose contributions made these two accomplishments possible. You know who you are… and I am forever grateful. Not only have you helped me lead the company toward profitability, but your generosity benefits all ECPN shareholders.  And, as I mentioned in the Business Update earlier this month, addressing our filing status with the SEC is a high priority. We have a plan in place to support that work as soon as we have the dollars to fund it.

Stay tuned for more good news as we continue to focus on production, getting into business, and monetizing our resource.

Doug
