Mr. Alvaro Espinoza reports

SILVER MOUNTAIN RESOURCES COMMENCES HIGH-IMPACT 7,000-METRE UNDERGROUND DRILL PROGRAM AT RELIQUIAS TO UPGRADE RESOURCES, EXPAND INVENTORY AND DEFINE HIGH-GRADE ZONES AHEAD OF RESTART

Silver Mountain Resources Inc. has commenced a high-impact 7,000-metre underground infill drilling program at its Reliquias mine in Huancavelica, Peru. The program is specifically designed to upgrade the company's mineral resources, expand the existing inventory and delineate high-grade zones that could enhance early production feed ,and strengthen the long-term mine plan as Silver Mountain advances toward its planned restart.

Program highlights (value-driven objectives)

The campaign is designed to deliver tangible, near-term catalysts by:

  • Upgrading inferred resources to indicated to increase confidence and reduce technical risk;
  • Expanding the mineral resource base through tighter drill spacing and improved structural interpretation;
  • Expanding the existing inventory through drilling near known mineralized zones along the vein's strike;
  • Delineating high-grade shoots to support grade optimization and stronger early production sequencing;
  • Strengthening the geological model and improving mine planning precision;
  • Supporting mine life growth and future operational scalability.

"This drill program has been designed to materially strengthen Reliquias ahead of production," said Alvaro Espinoza, chief executive officer of Silver Mountain. "Our focus is clear: convert resources, grow inventory and define high-grade zones that can improve the quality of early mine feed and reinforce the longer-term production profile. Reliquias is a cornerstone asset with meaningful upside, and this program is an important step toward unlocking that potential for shareholders."

Designed for precision and execution

The program will be completed from underground drill platforms, enabling high-precision targeting of mineralized structures and efficient execution within the mine infrastructure. By concentrating on the Sacasipuedes, Ayayay and Perseguida veins, the company aims to improve confidence in mineralized continuity and generate data that can directly support mine planning, production sequencing and future resource updates.

Restart momentum

Underground development and refurbishment activities are under way to support the planned restart, with production currently targeted to commence in the third quarter of 2026. The company believes that advancing resource confidence and identifying high-grade zones can provide meaningful benefits to restart readiness and operational planning.

The company will provide updates as drilling progresses and assay results become available.
