Star Metro - Silver X Mining Closes C$69M Brokered Private Placement of Secured Convertible Debentures

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 69,000 Debentures at an issue price of C$1,000 per Debenture. Due to strong investor demand, the Agent exercised its option in full to increase the size of the Offering by 15%, resulting in additional gross proceeds of C$9,000,000 and total gross proceeds increasing from C$60,000,000 to C$69,000,000.

The Offering was conducted on a "best efforts" agency basis, with Ventum Financial Corp. acting as sole agent and sole bookrunner (the "Agent").

"Closing this private placement is an important step toward our ambition to become South America's next premier silver company," said José García, CEO of Silver X Mining Corp. "This capital enables us to continue advancing the Nueva Recuperada Project across production expansion, development, and exploration, where we expect to deliver meaningful results in the months ahead. In parallel, we will evaluate selective acquisition opportunities that support our long‑term growth strategy. We appreciate the support of Ventum Financial and the investors who participated in this financing, and we look forward to updating the market as we execute our plans."

The principal amount of the Debentures will bear interest at a fixed rate of 10.0% per annum, payable semi-annually and will mature on the date (the "Maturity Date") that is five years following the date of issuance of the Debentures (the "Closing Date"). For the first four interest payment dates, the Company may elect to pay interest in cash or common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at the Company's sole discretion. Thereafter, interest will be paid in cash. Any issuance of Common Shares in satisfaction of interest payable will be subject to prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The principal amount of each Debenture will be convertible, at the election of the holder, into Common Shares at a conversion price of C$1.62 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, at any time until the earlier of (i) the business day preceding the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date of repayment in full of the principal amount of the Debentures and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Silver X intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for development capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Offering was conducted pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement dated March 18, 2026, among the Company and the Agent (the "Agency Agreement"). In accordance with the terms of the Agency Agreement, in consideration for its services, the Agent received a total cash commission equal to 6% of the total gross proceeds.

The Debentures are secured by a substantial portion of the Company's assets, including those of its subsidiaries. These assets have been placed into two Peruvian trust structures - an asset trust and an administration trust. The loan is additionally secured by a general security agreement in Canada and will also be guaranteed by certain Company subsidiaries.

The Offering remains subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The securities issued under the Offering, including any Common Shares issued on conversion of the Debentures, will be subject to a statutory hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws expiring four months and one day from the Closing Date.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities described herein in the United States. The Debentures have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws, qualified under a prospectus in Canada, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. The Debentures may not be offered or sold in Canada except pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws. "United States" and "U.S. person" are as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
