Mr. Brandon Rook reports

SILVER VALLEY METALS ANNOUNCES CHANGE TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

Silver Valley Metals Corp. has appointed Miroslav (Miro) Reba to its board of directors. The company also announces the resignation of Clive Massey from the board of directors. Silver Valley would like to thank Mr. Massey for his service and contribution to the company, and wishes him well.

Mr. Reba is a partner and co-founder of Tectonic Advisory Partners, which was established in 2012 in New York, United States. Mr. Reba is a mining finance specialist and has spent over 20 years developing a clientele base through numerous volatile market cycles of the metals market, while delivering successful strategic and corporate financing objectives. Mr. Reba has built a network of global relationships spanning major mining investor markets, including Australia, the U.S. and Canada. Mr. Reba has been involved in and/or responsible for raising more than half a billion dollars to date.

Recently, Mr. Reba has been particularly active in the lithium space, financing and strategically advising several best-in-class lithium projects across different geographies worldwide, including Galan Lithium (ASX: GLN), a world-class high-grade lithium brine deposit at the Hombre Muertos salar in Argentina, and Patriot Battery Metals (TSX:PMET), the world-class hard rock lithium Corvette deposit in James Bay, Quebec, Canada.

Before Tectonic Advisory Partners, Mr. Reba helped build a thriving mining finance practice for five years at Rodman Renshaw, a New York-based investment bank.

Mr. Reba holds an international law degree from the University of Durham, United Kingdom, and earned his undergraduate degree from the University of London, U.K.

Brandon Rook, chief executive officer, states: "We at Silver Valley are energized that Miro has joined the board at this strategic moment where the company is poised for strong growth, particularly at its Mexi-Can lithium-potash project, which is anticipated to come back on-line soon. Miro brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, particularly in the lithium space, and especially delivering recently with numerous successful financings, and attracting, contributing and supporting positive and long-lasting partnerships in the mining business. We look forward to a successful 2024 in Mexico and Idaho."

Corporate update

The exploration season in Idaho at the Ranger-Page silver-zinc-lead project has concluded for the year. A 24-hour-per-day project-wide trenching program targeting numerous prospective areas at the project, which were defined from its inaugural 2022 exploration program, was completed, in addition to road building for drilling access, drill platform preparations, field mapping, geochemical assaying and geological modelling. The company is excited to share results in due course from surface discoveries and several high-priority drill-ready targets recently defined.

Due to market conditions and the onset of winter weather, the company made the decision to not raise additional funds to drill Ranger-Page immediately after the conclusion of the phase 2 exploration program this fall. The company has utilized its treasury over the past six months to meet all its financial obligations, including multiple option payments at Ranger-Page, and developing Ranger-Page to a drill-ready state with well-defined high-priority drill targets.

Additionally, there has been continued investment at the Mexi-Can lithium-potassium project in Mexico. This includes behind-the-scenes geological modelling, evaluating extraction methods for lithium and potassium, defining next steps, budgets, and continuing discussions with potential strategic investors for the development and future production at the project. The company believes that there will be a positive outcome for the Mexico project and once it is reactivated, it will be the catalyst for the company to raise funds.

As previously disclosed, discussions are active and advancing with LitioMX, the national lithium company of Mexico. In-person meetings in Mexico City and Hermosillo, Mexico, have taken place, and follow-up meetings continue. Discussions have advanced and, from Silver Valley's viewpoint, the company and LitioMX are close to an agreeable and mutually beneficial conclusion.

The company thanks its shareholders for their patience and support through this period while it finalizes an agreement with LitioMX. Silver Valley has a strong conviction that the project will be company defining and that the shareholders will ultimately be rewarded as a result of management's continued efforts to protect the share structure of the company.

Qualified person

Timothy Mosey, BSc, MSc, SME, is the qualified person for the company, and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

About the MexiCan lithium-potassium (sulphate of potash) project

Silver Valley Metals owns a 100-per-cent interest in a lithium-and-potassium-bearing salar complex comprising 4,056 hectares on three mineral concessions located on the Central Mexican Plateau in the states of Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource contains 12.3 million tonnes of sulphate of potash and 243,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE), defined only from surface to an average of five metres depth. The salars remain wide open in all directions for expansion.

About the Ranger-Page project

The Ranger-Page project is in the Silver Valley, northern Idaho, United States, 60 kilometres east of Coeur d'Alene and one kilometre from the I-90 freeway. In 2020, Idaho was ranked the first in the world in policy perception and ninth-best mining jurisdiction (Fraser Institute Annual Mining Survey). The project borders the famous Bunker Hill mine to the east and for the first time consolidates the western extent of the prolific Silver Valley mining corridor by one operator in the past 100-plus years.

The project comprises six historical mines on patented claims, without royalties. The largest of these, the Page mine, was a top-10 producer in the Silver Valley, yielding over 1.1 billion pounds of zinc and lead, and 14.6 million ounces of silver. The Page mine has high-grade silver-zinc-lead historic reserves, and remains open at depth and along strike beyond what has been identified to date.

Historical mining on the properties have shared underground infrastructure from the larger Page mine to the Blackhawk mine. The company has underground mining data and surface geological data that support high-grade silver-zinc-lead mineralization present within the shallow, undeveloped mines. These mines remain open at depth and laterally along strike.

Exploration potential beyond the historic mines is considered significant, as modern systematic exploration is being applied to the project for the first time.
