Silver X files PEA technical report on Nueva Recuperada

Mr. Jose Garcia reports SILVER X FILES PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT TECHNICAL REPORT WITH UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE Silver X Mining Corp. has filed a new preliminary economic assessment (PEA) demonstrating a district-scale project with combined mining and processing capacity of 3,000 tonnes per day (tpd) and annual metal production in excess of six million ounces AgEq (silver equivalent). Positive PEA results demonstrate the upside of having two operating mines, Tangana and Plata, which together have the necessary resources and the potential to establish Silver X as a mid-tier silver producer. "We are extremely excited to publish this expanded PEA, which confirms what we have believed since the inception of our company -- Nueva Recuperada is a district-scale silver project with the potential to operate and grow for decades," stated Jose Garcia, chief executive officer of Silver X. "With a 14-year mine life at 3,000 tonnes per day and average annual production of more than six million ounces of silver equivalent, the study provides a concrete framework for scaling Silver X into a mid-tier producer. Our plan to operate two milling facilities -- one at Tangana and one dedicated to Plata -- is now fully validated as both achievable and value accretive." Mr. Garcia continued: "The strong investor support in our recent oversubscribed bought deal reinforces that this vision is widely shared. This financing gives us the flexibility to immediately begin executing the development plan -- upgrading and expanding resources, optimizing mine operations, and accelerating the restart at the Plata mining unit. With both technical validation and financial backing now in place, we are advancing confidently toward becoming one of South America's most significant silver producers." PEA highlights (2025) After-tax net present value (NPV) of $439-million at a 5-per-cent discount rate; Average annual production of approximately 6.2 million ounces of silver equivalent (AgEq), excluding first and last years of LOM (life of mine); LOM of 14 years at a maximum of 3,000 tpd (tonnes per day) combined mining and processing capacity; Initial capex of $82-million, including 13-per-cent contingency, for the new processing facility, dry-stacked tailings and mine development; After-tax payback of 3.0 years; LOM cash costs of $11.8/oz AgEq and LOM all-in sustaining costs (AISC) of $15.8/oz AgEq; Cumulative cash flow of $606-million after tax over 13 years on base case. The PEA was prepared by Edgard Vilela, AusIMM, CP (mining), Allen David Heyl, MAusIMM, CP (Geo), Adam Johnston, FAusIMM, CP (Met), and Donald Hickson, PEng (Alberta), in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and has an effective date of May 31, 2025. Cautionary statement regarding PEA The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Qualified person(s) A.
