Highlander Silver Reports New Discovery of Kusy Zone at Bonita Returning Highest Grades to Date: 23.6m at 15.56 g/t Gold and 74.49 g/t Silver

Executive Summary

• Highlander Silver announced the discovery of a new high‑grade zone “Kusy” within the Bonita vein system, delivering the highest gold and silver grades reported to date on the project.
• Key intercepts include 23.6 m @ 15.56 g/t Au and 74.49 g/t Ag (hole BOD‑021) and 7.4 m @ 8.10 g/t Au and 6.55 g/t Ag (hole BOD‑019).
• The Bonita vein system remains open in all directions; additional assay results are expected within six weeks, with follow‑up drilling planned for the Kusy discovery and western exposure.

Key Details

• Hole BOD‑021 (Kusy central portion): 23.6 m interval from 8.8 m depth returning 15.56 g/t Au and 74.49 g/t Ag.
• Hole BOD‑019 (Kusy platform NW of BOD‑021): 7.4 m interval from 48.4 m depth returning 8.10 g/t Au and 6.55 g/t Ag.
• Hole BOD‑018 (Western exposure step‑out): 10.1 m @ 3.81 g/t Au and 7.72 g/t Ag from 32.3 m depth.
• Hole BOD‑017 (same platform as BOD‑018): 14.6 m @ 1.71 g/t Au and 5.35 g/t Ag from 41.8 m depth.
• Additional intercepts:
• BOD‑016 – 4.4 m @ 0.94 g/t Au, 12.06 g/t Ag.
• BOD‑020 – 3.8 m @ 0.56 g/t Au, 73.33 g/t Ag.
• The Bonita vein system extends ~800 m × 200 m in outcrop and is open on all sides.
• Ongoing work: magnetic geophysical survey using dual quadcopters to map concealed extensions westward and into rugged terrain east/northeast.
• Next assay release expected in ~6 weeks, covering complete assays for the current drill program and additional step‑out drilling.
