REYNA SILVER ANNOUNCES UPSIZE TO LIFE OFFERING AND CONCURRENT PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND AGGREGATE CLOSINGS OF $4.6 MILLION

Due to investor demand, Reyna Silver Corp. has increased the size of its non-brokered listed issuer financing exemption (LIFE) private placement, previously announced on Feb. 14, 2024, and amended Feb. 26, 2024, and March 6, 2024, and its previously announced concurrent non-brokered private placement to purchasers pursuant to other applicable exemptions under National Instrument 45-106. The amended LIFE offering is for up to 26,666,667 units of the company at a price of 12 cents per unit for gross proceeds of up to approximately $3.2-million, increased from $2.9-million. Each unit will consist of one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share at an exercise price of 20 cents for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.

"We are delighted to receive so much interest in the offerings from both new and existing shareholders including significant participation from management and insiders," said Jorge Ramiro Monroy, chief executive officer of Reyna Silver. "We are excited to hit the ground running for our summer drill campaign at Gryphon."

The offerings and final closings

The amended concurrent private placement is for up to 12.5 million units for gross proceeds of up to approximately $1.5-million. Certain insiders of the company are participating in the concurrent private placement for 1,633,333 units for gross proceeds of approximately $196,000. The participation of any insiders may be considered a related-party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). The concurrent private placement will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to related parties nor the consideration for such securities will exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.

The first closing of the LIFE offering was completed on Feb. 26, 2024. The second closing of the LIFE offering and the first closing of the concurrent private placement was completed on March 6, 2024. The company completed a final closing of the LIFE offering and of the concurrent private placement today, on March 13, 2024, as discussed further below. The closings of the offerings are subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 (Prospectus Exemptions), the LIFE offering is being made pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106. The securities offered under the exemption will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. There is a third amended and restated offering document relating to the LIFE offering that can be accessed under the company's profile at SEDAR+ and on the company's website. Prospective investors should read this amended and restated offering document before making an investment decision. All securities issued in connection with the concurrent private placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day following the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

The company is also pleased to announce a third and final closing of the LIFE offering of 3,673,358 units for gross proceeds of approximately $440,803 and a second and final closing of the concurrent private placement of 83,333 units for gross proceeds of approximately $10,000.

On March 6, 2024, the company (i) closed the second tranche of the LIFE offering of 8,240,666 units for gross proceeds of approximately $988,880 and (ii) closed the first tranche of the concurrent private placement of 12,401,610 units for gross proceeds of approximately $1,488,193.

In the aggregate, including the closings announced today, the company issued (i) 25,848,391 units in the LIFE offering for gross proceeds of approximately $3,101,807 and (ii) 12,484,943 units in the concurrent private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $1,498,193. Aggregating both the LIFE offering and the concurrent private placement, the company issued 38,333,334 units for gross proceeds of approximately $4.6-million.

The company has paid cash finder's fees equal to 7.0 per cent on certain investments in the offerings for aggregate fees to date of $265,627.44 and issued 2,213,569 finder warrants (as defined below) to eligible finders, including Red Cloud Securities Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. The warrants issued to eligible finders entitle the holder to acquire one common share at a price of 12 cents per common share for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance.

The company will use the net proceeds of the offering and the concurrent private placement for the exploration of the company's Gryphon Summit project, Guigui project, Batopilas project and Medicine Springs project, other exploration work and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
