Star Metro - Silver X Delivers Production Growth During the First Quarter of 2026

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 9, 2026 / SILVER X MINING CORP. (TSXV:AGX)(OTCQB:AGXPF)(F:AGX) ("Silver X" or the "Company") a precious-metals exploration, development, and production company operating a multi-asset platform in Peru, is pleased to announce its operating results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026 ("1Q26") at the Company's Nueva Recuperada property (the "Project") in Peru.

First Quarter 2026 Production Highlights

• Metal production increased quarter-over-quarter, supported by higher throughput, improved head grades, and increased gold production, demonstrating a clear improvement in operational performance and metal throughput.

• Processed tonnage increased to 44,883 MT in 1Q26, up from 41,635 MT in 4Q25, representing an 8% quarter-over-quarter increase. In March 2026 alone, processed tonnage reached 20,645 MT, as production capacity expands at the Nueva Recuperada plant.

• Silver ounces processed increased to 125,195 oz in 1Q26, compared to 113,734 oz in 4Q25, representing a 10% sequential improvement driven primarily by higher silver head grades.

• Gold ounces processed rose to 1,419 oz in 1Q26, compared to 1,183 oz in 4Q25, representing 20% increase driven by targeting higher-value zones within the mine.

• Silver equivalent ounces (AgEq) processed were 253,114 oz in 1Q26, versus 266,995 oz in 4Q25. The decrease in AgEq ounces is primarily attributable to higher silver prices during the quarter (approximately US$83/oz in 1Q26 vs US$55/oz in 4Q25).

"This quarter marks a clear step forward in Silver X's growth trajectory." said José M. Garcia, CEO of Silver X. "We delivered higher tonnage, improved grades, and a strong increase in precious metals production, particularly gold, which is enhancing our revenue mix and strengthening our cash flow profile."

March performance represents an important operational milestone, with the plant reaching nominal capacity and development rates achieving record levels. These results position the Company for continued production growth throughout 2026, as we further optimize mining flexibility and continue to invest in our operations."

The strong performance in 1Q26 reflects continued investment in mining and processing capacity at Nueva Recuperada. During March, throughput stabilized at the nominal capacity of approximately 750 MT per day.

Underground development also advanced significantly during the quarter, achieving a record 1,010 meters in March. This progress enhances access to additional mining areas and supports the Company's ability to sustain and grow production in the coming quarters.

Notes

¹ Silver equivalent ounces processed is a measure of performance with no prescribed definition under IFRS. Refer to the "Non-IFRS Measures" section of this press release.

² AgEq ounces produced were calculated based on all metals produced using the average sales prices of each metal for each month during the period. Revenues from concentrate sales do not consider metallurgical recoveries in the calculations as the metal recoveries are built into the sales amounts. In Q1 2026, AgEq was calculated using metal prices of US$82.94 per oz Ag, US$3,227.32 per oz Au, US$0.87 per lb of Pb and US$1.46per lb of Zn.

Qualified Person

Cautionary Note Regarding Production without Mineral Reserves

The decision to commence production at the Nueva Recuperada Project and the Company's ongoing mining operations as referenced herein (the "Production Decision and Operations") are based on economic models prepared by the Company in conjunction with management's knowledge of the property and the existing estimate of mineral resources on the property. The Production Decision and Operations are not based on a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with the Production Decision and Operations, in particular: the risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional construction or ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than expected; and production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with NI 43-101.
