Honey Badger Silver Announces Participation in the Canada Investment Summit and Provides Corporate Update

Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TUF) announced an invitation to the inaugural Canada Investment Summit, scheduled for September 14-15, 2026, positioning its PC Silver Mine as a key project for critical mineral supply. The company recently hosted a fully-booked site visit attended by international investors, smelting groups, and offtake partners, receiving positive feedback on the mine's extensive existing infrastructure.

An updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) are expected to be completed in September 2026. Additionally, the four-month statutory hold period for the April 2026 $11.5 million private placement expired on August 17, 2026, making those securities freely tradeable. Management emphasized a focus on restarting the mine quickly and capital-efficiently, while evaluating non-dilutive financing alternatives and strategic partnerships.

Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TUF) announced that the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), for which JDS Energy & Mining was appointed on May 28, 2026, is scheduled for completion in September. This timeline aligns with prior company guidance.

The company also noted an invitation to the Canada Investment Summit and a successful site visit. These events validate management’s outreach and government alignment but do not introduce new financial or operational catalysts.

Additionally, the expiry of the hold period serves as an administrative milestone that removes a near-term overhang, though it does not inherently change the company's valuation or project status. The release contains no new pricing, resource upgrades, or financing terms.

Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TUF) is a Canadian junior explorer focused on silver, zinc, and lead projects in Tier-1 jurisdictions. Its flagship asset is the PC Silver Mine (Prairie Creek) in the Northwest Territories, a 100%-owned, fully permitted brownfield project that was halted at approximately 95% completion in the 1980s.

The project holds a historical resource of approximately 9.8 million tonnes of Measured and Indicated material and 6.4 million tonnes of Inferred material, totaling approximately 408 million ounces of silver equivalent at high grades ranging from 766 to 813 grams per tonne of silver equivalent. Infrastructure includes 5 kilometers of existing underground development, a 1,000-tonnes-per-day mill, an airstrip, and advanced permitting.

The company’s portfolio also includes the Nanisivik project in Nunavut, and the Plata, Hy, Clear Lake, Groundhog, and Yava projects in Yukon, offering significant exploration optionality and critical mineral exposure to germanium, tungsten, and indium.
