American Marconi Wireless News - Silver X Outlines Strategic Initiatives And Announces The Largest Drill Program In Its History - 40,000 Meters

Key Highlights

• 40,000-meter drill program launched - the largest in Silver X's history - to expand and upgrade resources at Nueva Recuperada, Peru.

• Funded by the recent Bought Deal financing to accelerate exploration, mine development, and efficiency improvements.

• Production to increase beyond nameplate capacity, targeting up to 1,000 tpd by 2Q26, doubling current output.

• "Plan 100" initiative aims for US$100/tonne operating and sustaining costs, positioning Silver X among Latin America's lowest-cost silver producers.

• Strategic investments focused on margin growth, stronger cash flow, and long-term expansion.

• Drilling to test high-grade satellite targets RedSilver and Tangana West (High-grade Ag) for potential near-term production.

"We have done the hardest part - building a company during challenging times with limited access to capital," said José María García, CEO of Silver X Mining. "Now, with a stronger balance sheet and the largest exploration program in our history, we are positioned to capitalize on the current metal price environment and drive meaningful growth.

The funds raised will allow us to expand our resources, enhance our operations, and unlock the full potential of the Nueva Recuperada district. With the quality of our assets, the expertise of our team, and the momentum we've built, Silver X is entering a new phase - one focused on scale, profitability, and long-term value creation."

Strategic Use of Proceeds

Proceeds from the Bought Deal financing will support the Company's next phase of growth through three key priorities:

• Exploration: Execution of a 40,000-meter diamond drill program designed to expand resources, upgrade classifications, and enhance grade continuity across priority targets within Nueva Recuperada.

• Mine Development: Acceleration of underground infrastructure projects, including new ventilation systems, improved mine access, and contractor-supported equipment upgrades to enhance safety, productivity, and efficiency.

• Operational Strengthening: Continued emphasis on selectivity, dilution control, and grade improvement to drive stronger cash flow and higher operating margins.

Operational Performance and Growth Targets

Silver X's Peruvian operations have remained consistently profitable despite a challenging environment. Operational performance has steadily improved in recent months, with September and October showing significant gains in grade and dilution control.

Building on this momentum, the Company plans to increase production by at least 40% in the coming months, targeting 1,000 tonnes per day by 2Q26 - a milestone that would double current output and mark a major step toward long-term expansion. The processing plant is currently undergoing an adaptation process of its permits to allow operation at up to 1,000 tonnes per day, providing a significant opportunity to focus on mine development and nearly double production during 2026.

Strategic investments now underway are expected to improve mine margins, strengthen cash generation, and enhance overall operational resilience. Silver X is also advancing its "Plan 100" initiative, targeting a combined operating and sustaining cost of US$100 per tonne. Achieving this benchmark would place Silver X among the most efficient underground silver producers in Latin America.

Exploration and Growth Vision

The 40,000-meter drill campaign underpins Silver X's district-scale growth strategy and long-term vision of sustainable expansion. Key objectives include:

• Increasing and upgrading mineral resources.

• Identifying new high-grade silver zones capable of supporting small-scale, high-margin operations.

• Advancing toward the Company's 3,000 tonnes per day processing capacity target outlined in the September 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).

At full expansion, Silver X is expected to produce over 6.2 million ounces of silver (AgEq) annually, positioning it as a leading mid-tier silver producer in the region.

The program will also test high-grade satellite targets, including RedSilver and Tangana West, where grades of 15-20 ounces per tonne have been identified - potential near-term opportunities for complementary, high-grade operations.

Cautionary Note regarding Production without Mineral Reserves

The decision to commence production at the Nueva Recuperada Project and the Company's ongoing mining operations as referenced herein (the "Production Decision and Operations") are based on economic models prepared by the Company in conjunction with management's knowledge of the property and the existing estimate of inferred mineral resources on the property. The Production Decision and Operations are not based on a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with the Production Decision and Operations, in particular: the risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional construction or ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than expected; and production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with NI 43-101.
