Asia Broadband Enters into LOI for Acquisition of Underground Mine and Mining Concession in Etzatlán, Mexico for Total Consideration of $5.5M

LAS VEGAS, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Broadband Inc. (OTC: AABB) ("AABB" or the "Company") announces today that the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire a high-grade gold and silver underground mining concession located in the Etzatlán region of Jalisco, Mexico, for a total consideration of $5,500,000 USD.

The targeted mining concession is an underground mine mining property located in close proximity to the Company's Etzatlán gold and silver processing plant. Based on historical drilling data analyzed to date by the Company, the property has advanced historical drilling results with highlights between 9 GPT (Grams Per Ton) and 12 GPT of gold, and between 350 GPT and 400 GPT of silver.

The proposed acquisition is a strategic step forward in the Company's Etzatlán mining district expansion plan. The definitive agreement is expected to be finalized and the acquisition completed in the third quarter. Subsequently, the Company will be advancing mine and production planning and begin the implementation of extraction activities, and the processing of mineralized material at the Company's Etzatlán gold and silver processing plant during the fourth quarter of 2026.

"This LOI represents an important component in expanding our Etzatlán production district," said Chris Torres, AABB President and CEO. "The historical gold and silver grades evaluated to date are extremely attractive, and the underground mining profile fits well with our strategy of acquiring mineralized material in proximity to our Etzatlán plant. We believe that this acquisition holds tremendous potential for us."

The LOI is non-binding except for customary exclusivity, confidentiality, and due diligence provisions. Closing of the acquisition is subject to the execution of the definitive agreement, satisfactory due diligence, verification of title and technical data related to the mining concession, customary closing conditions, and any required regulatory or governmental approvals.

More details about the mining concession, acquisition, historical drilling data, the mine plan, and production timeline will be disclosed when available.
