Star Metro - Silver Wolf Mobilizes Drill Rig at Ana Maria

As previously announced on December 16, 2025, Silver Wolf partnered with VRIFY to deploy its exploration intelligence software for AI-driven prospectivity mapping and drill targeting. The technology has supported the identification of new drill targets as well as optimizing the drill program, and highlighting additional areas of potential mineralization, providing the technical team with enhanced insight to test current geological hypotheses. As a result of the AI targeting, the Company has identified additional areas and will modify some of the drill holes that will require separate permitting due to a change in drill pad locations. The permitting process for these areas is currently underway.

As a result, the drilling will be conducted in two phases with the initial results to be integrated into the geological model providing the best chance of drilling a discovery hole.

Additionally, the Company reports that it has entered into a three-month digital marketing agreement with Mining Discovery to provide social media marketing, digital advertising, and content creation services, effective February 18, 2026. The agreement has a total cost of USD $6,000, payable in cash from working capital. Mining Discovery is at arm's length to the Company and has no interest in Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. nor any intention to acquire such an interest.

Finally, the Company announces that it has granted incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,300,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.16 per share. The options are exercisable until February 18, 2031, and were granted to directors, officers, consultants, and employees in accordance with the Company's stock option plan.
