• Delivered updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") of the open pit Stockwork Mineralization Zone (see Corporation's press release dated October 22, 2024); and

• Commenced drilling from underground drill pads on the high-grade Veins, Sulfide Zone and Shale Zone (see Corporation's press release dated December 3, 2024).

Glenn Jessome stated "As we wrap up 2024, I'm pleased to highlight the progress Silver Tiger has made this year. With the hard work of our team and the continued support of our shareholders, we've reached key milestones that position us for success in 2025. Our PFS for the open pit is complete, and we will continue to work to obtain project financing for the open pit portion of the Project. We have begun drilling the high-grade Veins, Shale Zone and Sulfide Zone from underground drill pads, as we work towards a PEA in H1-2025 for our underground resource."

Silver Tiger Announced PFS with NPV of US$222M for the Stockwork Zone

Silver Tiger announced a PFS on October 22, 2024. The PFS is focused on the conventional open pit mining economics of the Stockwork Mineralization Zone defined in the updated MRE.

Highlights of the PFS are as follows (all figures in US dollars unless otherwise stated):

• After-Tax NPV (using a discount rate of 5%) of US$222 million with an After-Tax IRR of 40.0% and Payback Period of 2.0 years (Base Case);

• Total Project undiscounted After-Tax Cash Flow of US$318 million;

• Initial capital costs of $86.8 million, which includes $9.3 million of contingency costs, over an expected 18- month build, expansion capital of $20.1 million in year 3 and sustaining capital costs of $6.2 million over the life of mine ("LOM");

• Average LOM operating cash costs of $973/oz AuEq, and all in sustaining costs ("AISC") of $1,214/oz AuEq or Average LOM operating cash costs of $12/oz AgEq, and AISC of $14/oz AgEq;

Silver Tiger Announces Updated MRE

On October 22, 2024, Silver Tiger announced the updated MRE, which includes an Out-of-Pit Mineral Resource that the company intends to evaluate in a PEA scheduled for H1-2025.

Updated 2024 MRE Highlights:

• Increase of 132% in Total Measured & Indicated Silver Equivalent Ounces from September 2023 MRE, with 59% increase in Measured & indicated AgEq grade;

• Total Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 200 Moz AgEq grading 92 g/t AgEq contained in 68.0 million tonnes;

• Total Out-of-Pit Resource of 113 Moz AgEq;

• Exploration potential at the El Tigre Project is substantial with prospective areas for exploration both down dip and along strike with the disclosed Exploration Target establishing 10 to 12 million tonnes at 225 to 265 g/t AgEq for 73 to 100 Moz AgEq; and

• This disclosed 'near-mine' Mineral Resource and potential, when coupled with the fact that only 30% of this prolific Property has been explored, shows the value of the El Tigre.

Silver Tiger Announces Commencement of Underground Drilling on High-Grade Veins, Sulfide and Shale Zones and expects to deliver a PEA for the Underground in H1-2025

Silver Tiger announced the commencement of its underground drilling campaign targeting the high-grade Veins, the Sulfide Zone, and the Shale Zone in late 2024 (see Corporation's press release dated December 3, 2024).

The El Tigre Project underground drilling campaign is targeting the high-grade Veins, the Sulfide Zone and the Shale Zone located as close as 40 meters to the pre-existing haulage way. These high-grade zones, especially the historically mined Veins with results up to 86.5 kilograms/tonne silver equivalent, form a crucial component of the UG PEA (see Corporation's press release dated November 9, 2021).

Drilling will resume the week of January 6, 2025.

Silver Tiger expects to release the first drill results from its underground drilling campaign targeting the high-grade Veins, the Sulfide Zone and the Shale Zone in January 2025.

Exploration Potential

Exploration potential at the El Tigre Project is substantial with prospective areas for exploration both down dip and along strike with the disclosed Exploration Target establishing 10 to 12 million tonnes at 225 to 265 g/t AgEq for 73 to 100 Moz AgEq.

About Silver Tiger and the El Tigre Historic Mine District

Silver Tiger Metals Inc. is a Canadian company whose management has more than 27 years' experience discovering, financing, and building large hydrothermal gold and silver mines in Mexico. Silver Tiger's 100% owned 28,414 hectare Historic El Tigre Mining District is located in Sonora, Mexico. Principled environmental, social and governance practices are core priorities at Silver Tiger.

Silver Tiger commenced work on its El Tigre Project in 2017. El Tigre will attempt to become an open pit and underground mine. Silver Tiger has drilled over 150,000 meters at the El Tigre Project, with 119,000 meters completed since 2020. Silver Tiger has completed several MREs, a maiden MRE in 2017 and MRE updates in 2023 and 2024. The PEA for the El Tigre open pit was released in November 2023.

The October 2024 PFS for the El Tigre open pit delivered robust economics. The PFS projects an After-Tax NPV of US$222 million at a 5% discount rate, an After-Tax IRR of 40.0%, and a payback period of 2.0 years. This open pit operation is expected to have a 10-year mine life. The El Tigre project delivers a life of mine undiscounted After-Tax Cash Flow of US$318 million, with initial capital costs of $86.8 million (including $9.3 million in contingency). Operating cash costs are projected at $973/oz AuEq and $12/oz AgEq, with AISC at $1,214/oz AuEq and $14/oz AgEq. The economics of the Project have been evaluated based on a discounted $26/oz silver price and gold price of $2,150/oz.

Silver Tiger is now drilling from underground drill pads, focusing on the high-grade silver Veins, Sulphide and Shale Zones. A PEA for the permitted underground mineral resource is expected to be released in the first half of 2025.
