OUTCROP EXPANDS AGUILAR VEIN SYSTEM WITH NEW HIGH-GRADE SILVER INTERCEPTS

OUTCROP EXPANDS AGUILAR VEIN SYSTEM WITH NEW HIGH-GRADE SILVER INTERCEPTS Canada NewsWire VANCOUVER, BC, June 3, 2026 Drilling of northern extension intercepts 0.80 m (ETW) of 1,405 g/t AgEq (1,140 g/t Ag & 3.0 g/t Au), including 0.23 m of 2,820 g/t AgEq (2,264 g/t Ag & 6.3 g/t Au) VANCOUVER, BC, June 3, 2026 /CNW/ - Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSX: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG) ("Outcrop Silver") is pleased to announce assay results from recent drilling results at the Aguilar target, further improving the geological understanding of one of the most advanced vein systems within the Company's Santa Ana Project in Colombia. Drilling confirmed the continuity of both the principal Aguilar and Aguilar N structures and returned high-grade intercepts from two additional mineralized structures, Aguilar NEW and Aguilar NEE, in the northern sector of the target. Locally mineralized splay structures were also intersected during drilling, providing additional information on the structural controls on silver mineralization. Drilling completed in the southern extension successfully confirmed the continuity of the principal Aguilar structure, although no significant mineralized intercepts were returned from the step-out holes. Highlights Aguilar NEW returned multiple high-grade intercepts, including 0.60 metres ("m") estimated true width ("ETW") grading 1,660 g/t silver-equivalent1 ("AgEq") in DH621,0.80 m ETW grading 1,405 g/t AgEq in DH604, and 0.76 m ETW grading 1,157 g/t AgEq in DH568. Aguilar N returned high-grade intercepts including 0.49 m ETW grading 1,374 g/t AgEq in DH596 and 1.27 m ETW grading 716 g/t AgEq in DH592, supporting continuity of mineralization along the northern sector of the target. Drilling intersected several mineralized secondary structures and splays, providing additional information on the structural controls of silver mineralization within the Aguilar system. Step-out drilling in the southern extension confirmed the continuity of the principal Aguilar structure, although no significant mineralized intercepts were returned. "These results continue to strengthen our confidence in the scale and continuity of the Aguilar system", commented Rob Bruggeman, President and CEO.  "Aguilar NEW and Aguilar NEE appear to represent newly recognized vein structures that warrant continued follow-up exploration and, as commonly observed in district-scale vein systems, could potentially support the delineation of additional mineral resource blocks in the future, particularly within these blind mineralized zones. The Aguilar vein system has now been drilled for 1.6 km along strike and has identified additional mineralized structures in the northern part of the target. The development of Aguilar NEW and Aguilar NEE, together with multiple mineralized secondary structures, highlights the growing structural footprint of Aguilar and further supports its importance within the Santa Ana district."

Drill hole assay results reported in this release. Weakly Mineralized means intercepts below 100 g/t AgEq1 Recent drilling at Aguilar was primarily focused on the northern sector of the target, near the interpreted junction with the Jiménez trend. The new drilling continues to improve the understanding of the structural architecture of the system. In addition to confirming the continuity of the principal Aguilar and Aguilar N structures, drilling intersected multiple mineralized intervals within the newly recognized Aguilar NEW and Aguilar NEE structures, both of which have now been confirmed by several drill holes. With the incorporation of these new drill results, the principal Aguilar structure has now been traced continuously for approximately 1.6 kilometres along strike. The results further support the interpretation of Aguilar as a multi-vein mineralized system and demonstrate continuity over one of the longest mineralized trends currently defined within the Santa Ana Project. Drilling completed in the southern extension successfully confirmed the continuity of the principal Aguilar structure, although no significant mineralized intercepts were returned from the step-out holes. These intercepts will be incorporated into the Company's geological interpretations and the next mineral resource estimate update, which is currently underway. The Aguilar target continues to rank among the most important mineralized systems identified within the Santa Ana Project. Recent drilling has strengthened confidence in the continuity of the principal structures while highlighting the emergence of additional mineralized zones that contribute to the evolving understanding of the district-scale structural framework. The results will be incorporated into ongoing geological modelling and resource evaluation programs as Outcrop continues to advance the Santa Ana Project.   Hole ID Hole Code Easting (m) Northing (m) Elevation (m) Depth (m) Azimuth (º) Dip (º) DH568 SAAG26DH568 504024.993 561574.989 919.185 233.17 98 -72 DH569 SAAG26DH569 503255.208 560758.077 1062.332 100.27 120 -50 DH572 SAAG26DH572 503188.094 560860.326 1055.752 185.01 143 -50 DH574 SAAG26DH574 503885.182 561526.080 934.490 258.16 142 -54 DH576 SAAG26DH576 503189.564 560859.826 1055.617 232.56 183 -56 DH578 SAAG26DH578 503136.010 560756.844 1061.980 165.99 155 -45 DH579 SAAG26DH579 502993.475 560562.575 1102.678 300.03 130 -53 DH581 SAAG26DH581 503885.023 561526.283 934.287 294.15 142 -69 DH582 SAAG26DH582 503134.929 560756.828 1061.991 199.94 182 -45 DH585 SAAG26DH585 503150.067 560513.602 1115.596 215.58 140 -62 DH586 SAAG26DH586 503885.276 561526.975 934.344 325.52 110 -77 DH589 SAAG26DH589 503148.047 560516.946 1116.575 170.99 200 -68 DH591 SAAG26DH591 502992.978 560562.710 1102.870 262.03 150 -52 DH592 SAAG26DH592 504024.993 561574.989 919.185 236.17 73 -60 DH594 SAAG26DH594 502994.041 560563.905 1103.124 282.61 167 -54 DH596 SAAG26DH596 504025.498 561576.018 918.983 263.65 59 -75 DH597 SAAG26DH597 502994.126 560564.292 1102.741 291.99 133 -66 DH602 SAAG26DH602 504025.174 561575.871 919.088 300.85 0 -90 DH603 SAAG26DH603 502815.680 560406.745 1077.315 302.39 146 -45 DH604 SAAG26DH604 504024.780 561575.020 919.504 171.29 196 -74 DH606 SAAG26DH606 502815.605 560406.790 1077.043 224.8 146 -59 DH608 SAAG26DH608 504041.910 561623.303 899.220 300.83 59 -54 DH610 SAAG26DH610 504041.968 561623.255 898.841 255.42 62 -83 DH611 SAAG26DH611 502815.605 560406.967 1077.413 170.26 146 -78 DH614 SAAG26DH614 504041.761 561623.258 898.988 252.06 58 -70 DH615 SAAG26DH615 502813.641 560375.121 1069.424 205.09 164 -55 DH617 SAAG26DH617 502644.136 560386.055 1102.808 305.98 143 -45 DH618 SAAG26DH618 504042.206 561622.730 898.908 215.18 72 -60 DH621 SAAG26DH621 504042.108 561622.555 899.082 215.49 76 -75 DH622 SAAG26DH622 502644.025 560385.120 1102.805 305.53 158 -45 DH623 SAAG26DH623 503903.619 561554.185 938.953 131.36 83 -52 DH626 SAAG26DH626 503899.760 561553.880 939.100 179.56 136 -49 Table 2. Collar and survey table for drill holes and exploratory trenches reported and referred to in this release. All coordinates are UTM system, Zone 18N, and WGS84 projection Qualified Person The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Carlos Torres, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for Outcrop Silver and the Qualified Person for exploration at the Santa Ana Project, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. 1Silver Equivalent Metal prices used for equivalent calculations were US$2,760/oz for gold, and US$32/oz for silver. Metallurgical recoveries based on Outcrop Silver's metallurgical test work are 98.5% for gold and 96.3% for silver (see news release dated June 25, 2024). The equivalency formula is as follows: QA/QC Outcrop Silver applied its standard protocols for sampling and assay for exploration activities. Core diameter is a mix of HTW and NTW, depending on the drill hole depth. Diamond drill core boxes were photographed, sawed, sampled, and tagged. Samples were bagged, tagged, and packaged for shipment by truck from Santa Ana's core logging facilities in Falan, Colombia to the Actlabs certified sample preparation facility in Medellin, Colombia. ActLabs is an accredited laboratory independent of the Company. HQ-NTW core is sawn with one-half shipped. Samples delivered to Actlabs were AA assayed on Au, Ag, Pb, and Zn at Medellin using 1A2Au, 1A3Au, Multi-elements AR (Ag Cu Pb Zn), and Code 8 methods. Then, samples were sent to Actlabs Canada in Ancaster, Ontario, for ICP multi-elemental analysis under code 1E3. In line with QA/QC best practices, blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials are inserted into the sample stream at approximately 3 control samples every 20 samples to monitor laboratory performance. A comparison of control samples and their standard deviations indicates acceptable assay accuracy and no detectable contamination. No material QA/QC issues have been identified with respect to sample collection, security, and assaying. The samples are analyzed for gold and silver using a standard fire assay on a 30-gram sample with a gravimetric finish for over-limits. Multi-element geochemistry was determined by ICP-MS using either aqua regia or four acid digestions. Crush rejects, pulps, and the remaining core are stored in a secured facility at Santa Ana for future assay verification. About Santa Ana The 100% owned Santa Ana project spans over 28,000 hectares within the Mariquita District, encompassing both titles and applications, and is recognized as the largest and highest-grade primary silver district in Colombia, with mining records dating back to 1585. Santa Ana's maiden resource estimate, detailed in the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled "Santa Ana Property Mineral Resource Estimate," dated June 8, 2023, prepared by AMC Mining Consultants, indicates an estimated indicated resource of 1,226 thousand tonnes containing 24.2 million ounces silver equivalent1 at a grade of 614 grams per tonne and an inferred resource of 966 thousand tonnes containing 13.5 million ounces at a grade of 435 grams per tonne of silver equivalent1. The identified resources span seven major vein systems that include multiple parallel veins and mineralized shoots: Santa Ana (San Antonio, Roberto Tovar, San Juan shoots); La Porfia (La Ivana); El Dorado (El Dorado, La Abeja shoots); Paraiso (Megapozo); Las Maras; Los Naranjos, and La Isabela. The current drill campaign has extended known mineralization and tested additional target areas within the 17-kilometre-long fully permitted mineralized corridor at the Santa Ana Project. Since the start of the current campaign, drilling has confirmed mineralization in six vein systems—Aguilar, Jimenez, La Ye, Los Mangos, Guadual, and Morena—through a combination of step-out, testing, and delineation drilling. The results from these programs are being incorporated into updated geological interpretations and three-dimensional models. They will support ongoing drilling activities and the preparation of the next mineral resource update.
