SILVER STORM CLOSES ADDITIONAL TRANCHE OF ITS NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING INCLUDING PARTICIPATION BY FIRST MAJESTIC SILVER CORP.

Silver Storm Mining Ltd., on Jan. 30, 2025, closed an additional tranche of the non-brokered private placement offering of units previously announced on Dec. 5, 2024. Under this tranche of the offering, 23,951,999 units were issued at a price of nine cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,155,680. This tranche included a $1.5-million investment from current significant shareholder First Majestic Silver Corp. (FM). In total under the offering, the company raised total gross proceeds of $3,446,100.

Each unit consists of one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of 16 cents until 36 months after closing.

In connection with this tranche of the offering, the company paid certain finders who introduced subscribers to the offering, including Canaccord Genuity Corp., Haywood Securities Inc. and Red Cloud Securities Inc., the following fees: (1) a cash commission totalling $33,075, being up to 7 per cent of the gross proceeds raised under the offering from investors introduced to the company from such finders; and (2) 367,500 non-transferable common share purchase warrants of the company, being up to 7.0 per cent of the units sold under the offering from investors introduced to the company from such finders. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of 16 cents for a period of 36 months.

The units were offered by way of private placement pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The securities issued and issuable pursuant to the offering are subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period from the date of closing. The warrants and finders' warrants will not be listed for trading. The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to complete its upcoming National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The offering has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

The participation of FM, an insider of the company, in this tranche constitutes a related party transaction under the policies of the TSX-V and within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the directors of the company have determined that the FM's participation in the offering will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the shares purchased on behalf of FM nor the consideration paid by it exceeds 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. The company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the offering as the participation by FM was not settled until shortly prior to closing and the company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

The company is also pleased to announce an increase in the size of the offering for gross proceeds of up to $3,680,000.01 at a price of nine cents per unit, subject to approval from the TSX-V. See the previous news releases dated Dec. 5, 2024, Dec. 19, 2024, Jan. 6, 2025, Jan. 9, 2025, Jan. 16, 2025, and Jan. 23, 2025, for further details of the offering.
