SILVER VIPER FURTHER AMENDS RUBI-ESPERANZA OPTION AGREEMENT

Further to Silver Viper Minerals Corp.'s press release April 6, 2023, it has amended the terms of the Rubi-Esperanza option agreement with respect to its right to purchase 100-per-cent ownership of three mineral concessions covering 2,102 hectares at the La Virginia gold-silver project, located in the Sierra Madre of eastern Sonora state, Mexico.

The amendment clarifies that the $775,000 (U.S.) (or $1,042,142.50, based on a fixed exchange rate of United States dollar to Canadian dollar of 1.3447 set out in the amendment) of shares issuable by the company to satisfy as a portion of the final payment under the agreement in June, 2024, will be issued with a deemed price per share equal to the higher of (i) the closing price of the shares on the TSX Venture Exchange on June 24, 2024, or (ii) 9.5 cents. In addition, the amendment also sets out that the company shall not issue more than 10,969,922 shares in satisfying this portion of the consideration due to the vendors. As previously announced by the company, in addition to such issuance of shares, the company will also make a cash payment of $200,000 (U.S.) to the vendors.

In satisfaction of the company's payment of the $1.5-million (U.S.) (or $2,017,050, based on an exchange rate of U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange range of 1.3447) of shares due to the vendors in April, 2023, under the amended agreement, the company confirms it issued the vendors an aggregate of 16,808,750 shares at a deemed price per share of 12 cents on April 25, 2023.

All shares issued in connection with the agreement will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period from their respective date of issue. In addition, for a one-year period following the expiry of the applicable statutory hold period, the vendors may not sell such shares and then may only do so after providing at least two weeks of notice to the company of their intention to sell any such shares.

The vendors are at arm's length to the company and its affiliates or associates (as such terms are defined in the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Financial Manual).

About the project

La Virginia is located 220 kilometres east-northeast of Hermosillo, Sonora, and is prospective for low-sulphidation epithermal precious metal mineralization. The property and historical exploration database were acquired by way of option agreements made with two distinct parties. Gold and silver mineralization at La Virginia occurs within breccias, veins and stockworks, hosted primarily by andesitic volcanics, often in close spatial association to, or cross-cutting premineral dacite dikes and controlled by fractures and faults that define the regional structural trend. Silver Viper's reconnaissance program identified key targets and trends which are of primary interest and subsequently filed strategic reductions in claims to attain the current project surface area of 6,882 hectares.

Silver Viper has completed a total of 141 drill holes at La Virginia for a combined 44,687 metres. Exploration drilling has paused awaiting the processing of the geophysical survey data along with the interpretation of mapping and sampling data. Drilling has been completed by Hermosillo-based drill contractor Globexplore Drilling Corp. Drilling by the company to date builds upon a sizeable database of recent historical work.
