OUTCROP SILVER REPORTS HIGH-GRADE SILVER-GOLD INTERCEPTS FROM MORENA AND AGUILAR DRILLING

OUTCROP SILVER REPORTS HIGH-GRADE SILVER-GOLD INTERCEPTS FROM MORENA AND AGUILAR DRILLING Canada NewsWire VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 5, 2026 Drilling at Morena Target Intercepts 0.71 Metres Grading 2,559 g/t AgEq (1,646 g/t Ag and 10.35 g/t Au) and 1.74 Metres Grading 646 g/t AgEq (488 g/t Ag and 1.79 g/t Au) VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 5, 2026 /CNW/ -- Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSX: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG) ("Outcrop Silver" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from recent drilling at the Morena and Aguilar targets, on the Company's flagship Santa Ana silver-gold project in Colombia. New drilling completed at Morena since the discovery announced July 22, 2025, returned a narrow high-grade intercept in hole DH613 and a broader intercept in hole DH601. At the Aguilar target, drilling in the northern sector continued to intersect mineralization within the Aguilar, Aguilar N, and associated splay structures previously reported in the Company's news release dated June 3, 2026. These results have been incorporated into the Company's geological model, positioning Morena as an additional target expected to contribute contained ounces in the Company's anticipated upcoming mineral resource estimate ("MRE") update. The Company expects the new MRE to be announced in September 2026. Highlights Hole DH613 intersected 0.71 metres ("m") (0.34 m estimated true width ("ETW")) grading 1,646 g/t Ag and 10.35 g/t Au (2,559 g/t silver-equivalent1 ("AgEq")) at Morena, including 0.41 m (0.20 m ETW) grading 2,839 g/t Ag and 17.72 g/t Au (4,403 g/t AgEq). Hole DH601 intersected 1.74 m (1.42 m ETW) grading 488 g/t Ag and 1.79 g/t Au (646 g/t AgEq) at Morena, including 0.30 m (0.24 m ETW) grading 974 g/t Ag and 6.23 g/t Au (1,524 g/t AgEq) and 0.30 m (0.24 m ETW) grading 1,464 g/t Ag and 2.61 g/t Au (1,694 g/t AgEq). Hole DH631 intersected 0.30 m (0.19 m ETW) grading 1,554 g/t Ag and 5.44 g/t Au (2,033 g/t AgEq) within the Aguilar N structure. Hole DH628 intersected 2.21 m (1.04 m ETW) grading 103 g/t Ag and 1.42 g/t Au (229 g/t AgEq) within the principal Aguilar structure, including 0.30 m (0.14 m ETW) grading 440 g/t Ag and 6.73 g/t Au (1,034 g/t AgEq). "Since the initial discovery at Morena in 2025, we have continued to advance our geological understanding of this target," commented Carlos Torres, Vice President of Exploration. "Morena remains a smaller structure relative to the 1.6 km long Aguilar structure, but the results obtained over the past year, including these latest high-grade intercepts, support its inclusion as an additional contributor to our upcoming mineral resource estimate. At the Aguilar target, drilling in the northern sector continues to confirm and extend the structures identified in our June 2026 release, while results from the southern extension are prompting us to refine our geological interpretation of that portion of the system."

Drill hole assay results reported in this release from the Morena vein system. Weakly Mineralized result means an intercept lower than 100 g/t AgEq1 This release reports assay results from 14 holes drilled at Morena beyond hole DH479, the last hole included in the Company's prior update on the target. Morena lies along a structural trend interpreted to run parallel to, and southeast of, the Aguilar-Jimenez-Guadual trend, one of the principal mineralized corridors within the Santa Ana district. Following the initial discovery in mid-2025, the Company's technical team refined its structural interpretation of the Morena target, which guided the design of the subsequent drilling program. Of the 14 holes reported, six intersected mineralized intervals within the Morena structure, most notably hole DH613. The remaining eight drill holes intercepted the vein structure but returned weakly mineralized results below the Company's mineralization threshold (100 g/t AgEq). Rather than indicating an absence of mineralization, these intercepts confirm the structural continuity of Morena and contribute additional data on its extension and geometry, information that remains essential to the Company's ongoing interpretation of the system, consistent with the discontinuous, shoot-controlled style of mineralization observed elsewhere within the district. Morena remains smaller in scale than the 1.6 km long Aguilar vein system; however, the results obtained to date support its inclusion in the Company's anticipated upcoming MRE update. Work on the MRE update is well underway with results expected to be announced in September 2026.

Drill hole assay results reported in this release from the Aguilar vein system. Weakly Mineralized result means an intercept lower than 100 g/t AgEq1 This release also reports assay results from 12 holes drilled in the northern sector of Aguilar, testing the principal Aguilar structure together with the Aguilar N, splays, Aguilar NEE, and Aguilar NEW structures previously reported in the Company's news release dated June 3, 2026. Nine of the 12 holes intersected mineralized intervals, with the most notable result returned in hole DH631, which intersected 0.30 m grading 1,554 g/t Ag and 5.44 g/t Au (2,033 g/t AgEq) within the Aguilar N structure. Additional mineralized intervals were confirmed within the principal Aguilar structure (hole DH628) and within splay structures associated with the system (holes DH635 and DH638). These results are consistent with the structural configuration previously interpreted for the system and confirm continuity of mineralization within the Aguilar and Aguilar N structures along the northern sector of the target. The Aguilar NEE and Aguilar NEW structures, identified for the first time in the Company's June 2026 release, returned predominantly weakly mineralized results in this phase of drilling; these intercepts provide additional structural and geometric information that will be incorporated into the Company's ongoing interpretation of these newly recognized structures.

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. HTW/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.
