Executive Summary

  • Prince Silver is expanding its RC drilling program from ~21,000 ft to >30,000 ft and adding a second drill rig to accelerate work.
  • All ten RC holes completed to date have encountered favourable alteration, supporting the decision to increase and speed up drilling.
  • The company’s AGM approved a new five‑member board, re‑appointed its auditor, and adopted a 20 % rolling omnibus equity incentive plan.

Key Details

  • Drilling Program Expansion: Planned total depth increased from ~21,000 ft (6,400 m) to >30,000 ft (9,100 m). A second RC drill rig will be on‑site next month.
  • Current Focus: Near‑surface (<300 m) carbonate replacement mineralization (silver‑gold‑manganese and base metals) and sediment‑hosted gold‑silver zones along a 3,500‑ft (1,070 m) structural corridor, 600–1,200 ft wide.
  • Assay Timeline: First batch of assays for the ten completed holes expected in January 2026; results will inform an initial NI 43‑101‑compliant mineral resource estimate.
  • Alteration Results: All ten RC holes showed favourable alteration, reinforcing confidence in the project’s potential for open‑pit mining.
  • Exploration Target (Historical): 129 historic drill holes indicate a target of 25–43 Mt with grades of 1.44–1.57 % Zn, 0.78–0.87 % Pb, 0.28–0.40 g/t Au, 37–40 g/t Ag, and 3.62–4.30 % Mn (based on JORC‑compliant report dated 24 Apr 2024).
  • AGM Outcomes (23 Dec 2025):
  • Board size set at five directors; elected Derek Iwanaka, Ralph Shearing, Marco Montecinos, Darrell Rader, Robert Wrixon.
