Star Metro - Silver X Intersects 40.71 m True Width at 98.7 g/t AgEq (69.53 g/t Ag, 0.87% Pb, 0.28% Zn) at Blenda Rubia, Including 4.12 m of 274.5 g/t AgEq

Importantly, the Company believes these results further support the view that Blenda Rubia has the potential to become an increasingly relevant growth front within Nueva Recuperada. The repetition of broad mineralized intercepts across multiple drill holes indicates that these wider zones are not isolated local features, but rather part of a mineralized system with the potential to support a larger mining footprint, increased operational flexibility and, over time, a more scalable development scenario.

Hole DDH-BR-016 was drilled from Platform No. 003 to a final depth of 305.70 meters and intersected a mineralized structural zone of 104.20 meters apparent width, equivalent to 40.71 meters true width, between 179.30 meters and 283.50 meters. The interval returned average grades of 69.53 g/t Ag, 0.87% Pb, 0.28% Zn and 0.02% Cu, equivalent to 98.7 g/t AgEq. These results confirm continuity of the polymetallic system at depth, approximately 60 meters below the last level historically recognized by Buenaventura, and reinforce the Company's view that Blenda Rubia may support a more ambitious ramp-up scenario as drilling continues to expand the scale and continuity of the mineralized corridor.

The Company interprets these results as further evidence that mineralization at Blenda Rubia is not restricted to discrete veins, but is instead developed within a broader mineralized corridor composed of principal veins, tensional structures, moderate veinlet stockworks, silicified horses and altered host rock. This broader geometry is increasingly important from a corporate perspective, as it may enhance the project's scalability, support wider mineable zones in selected sectors, and strengthen Blenda Rubia's potential role in Silver X's production ramp-up strategy at Nueva Recuperada.

Blenda Rubia Highlights:

• DDH-BR-016 intersected 104.20 meters apparent width, equivalent to 40.71 meters estimated true width, grading 69.53 g/t Ag, 0.87% Pb, 0.28% Zn, 0.02% Cu, equivalent to 98.7 g/t AgEq.

• Vein 1 returned 4.12 meters estimated true width grading 209.78 g/t Ag, 2.10% Pb, 0.61% Zn, 0.01% Cu (274.5 g/t AgEq), representing the highest-value internal interval within the broader mineralized zone.

• Vein 3 returned 2.64 meters estimated true width grading 140.37 g/t Ag, 1.25% Pb, 0.12% Zn, 0.01% Cu (172.1 g/t AgEq).

• An additional tensional structure returned 2.85 meters estimated true width grading 94.42 g/t Ag, 1.25% Pb, 0.33% Zn, 0.01% Cu (132.4 g/t AgEq).

• The intercept lies at an approximate elevation of 4,160 masl, approximately 60 meters below the last level recognized by Buenaventura at Level 210 (4,220 masl), confirming down-dip continuity of the Blenda Rubia polymetallic system.

• The results support the interpretation of Blenda Rubia as a broader polymetallic corridor comprising principal veins, tensional structures, moderate stockwork, silicified horses and altered wall rock, rather than mineralization restricted to discrete veins.

Drill hole DDH-BR-016 recognized a mineralized structural zone from 179.30 meters to 283.50 meters, corresponding to 104.20 meters apparent width and 40.71 meters estimated true width. Across this broad interval, average grades were 69.53 g/t Ag, 0.87% Pb, 0.28% Zn and 0.02% Cu (98.7 g/t AgEq).

These results confirm that mineralization at Blenda Rubia is not restricted to discrete veins, but instead develops within a broader mineralized corridor comprising principal veins, tensional structures, moderate stockwork, silicified horses and altered wall rock. Importantly, when viewed together with previously reported wide intercepts such as DDH-BR-003, DDH-BR-005 and DDH-BR-009, DDH-BR-016 indicates that these broad mineralized packages are not isolated local occurrences. Rather, they appear to be a repetitive feature of the system that may support project scale-up and wider mining fronts in selected sectors as exploration advances.

2. AgEq note: Silver-equivalent grade is calculated on a metal-price basis (recoveries not applied) as AgEq (g/t) = Ag + [(Pb% × 20.94) + (Zn% × 28.66) + (Cu% × 94.80)] ÷ 0.9645, using assumed prices of US$0.96/g Ag, US$0.95/lb Pb, US$1.30/lb Zn and US$4.30/lb Cu (to be confirmed against the official price deck).

Table 3. Drill Intercept Summary from the Current Geological Interpretation at Blenda Rubia

Notes:

1. "Composite" refers to the combined interval formed by Vein 1, Vein 3 and the intervening mineralized fill of veinlets, breccias and disseminated sulphides, where recognized.

2. Estimated true widths are being calculated from the Company's current geological interpretations and ongoing vein modelling and may change as the interpretation is refined.

3. DDH-BR-005 was drilled well away from the main drill pattern. Because the local orientation of the vein system at the intercept point is not yet sufficiently constrained, only apparent width is reported for that hole at this stage.

4. DDH-BR-004 intercepted an extension of a barren post-mineral dyke and is therefore not included in this report.

5. DDH-BR-012 and DDH-BR-013 were drilled to test a geophysical anomaly located south of the Blenda Rubia vein system, outside the main target corridor reported in this table, and did not return significant results relevant to the current vein interpretation.

Geological Interpretation

The results from DDH-BR-016 reinforce the interpretation of Blenda Rubia as a larger-scale, mesothermal polymetallic lode vein system in which mineralization is distributed across a broad structural corridor and not solely within a single discrete vein. The broad interval intersected in DDH-BR-016 is consistent with the Company's previously reported wide intercepts in DDH-BR-003, DDH-BR-005 and DDH-BR-009, supporting the view that these wide veining packages are repetitive and laterally meaningful components of the system rather than isolated local zones.

Within the interval from 215.15 meters to 221.40 meters, corresponding to Vein 3, the hole intersected a hydrothermal breccia vein with patches of galena and subrounded clasts of silicified tuff. In the interval from 228.70 meters to 238.45 meters, associated with Vein 1, the hole intersected a hydrothermal breccia vein with galena over sphalerite, pyrite as fine spots, later gray silica injection and clasts with alteration rims.

This configuration indicates that the principal veins do not define the external limits of the system, but instead form part of the broader mineralized system. Accordingly, Blenda Rubia may be interpreted as a polymetallic mesothermal vein corridor with the potential to develop wider mineable widths in selected sectors. The recurrence of wide intercepts in multiple holes also strengthens the case that the project can be scaled beyond a strictly narrow-vein concept as drilling continues.

Significance of the Results

The significance of DDH-BR-016 lies in its confirmation of mineralized continuity at depth while maintaining substantial thickness and demonstrating potential for further extension of the lode system. Positioned approximately 60 meters below the last level recognized by Buenaventura, the hole adds depth confirmation to a pattern of repetitive wide intercepts and demonstrates that the broader mineralized lode vein intercepts are in multiple locations.

The presence of hydrothermal brecciation in the Blenda Rubia vein lode raises the possibility that there could be a mineralized porphyry system nearby as a source. Mineralized porphyries have been identified in the Huachocolpa District and may represent the source of nearby vein mineralization.

Taken together with DDH-BR-003, DDH-BR-005 and DDH-BR-009, the results support the interpretation that Blenda Rubia lode contains repetitive, wide mineralized sectors with higher-value structures such as Vein 1 and Vein 3. This repetition is important because it suggests the project may be capable of supporting larger-scale development and broader mining fronts by the Company in selected areas.

CEO Statement

José M. Garcia, CEO of Silver X, commented:

"DDH-BR-016 is important because it confirms that the broad mineralized widths we have been seeing at Blenda Rubia are not isolated local anomalies. When viewed together with earlier wide intercepts such as DDH-BR-003, DDH-BR-005 and DDH-BR-009, these results reinforce our view that Blenda Rubia is evolving into a scalable polymetallic vein project with the potential to support broader mining fronts than a conventional narrow-vein model would suggest.

For Silver X, that matters because our strategy is to build a pipeline of mining areas capable of supporting sustainable production growth across Nueva Recuperada. As we continue surface drilling and begin underground rehabilitation to open additional drill positions from mine workings, we expect to improve our understanding of the western extension of the system and continue advancing Blenda Rubia in line with our objective of building toward approximately 6 million silver-equivalent ounces of annual production."

Next Steps

Silver X plans to continue advancing Blenda Rubia on two parallel fronts. The Company will continue surface drilling while initiating underground rehabilitation works to prepare drill chambers and improve access for additional diamond drilling from underground. These next steps are intended to better define the western structures, refine the geometry of the broad mineralized corridor and support the next stage of project scale-up.

• Continue surface drilling to test continuity and extension of the mineralized lode.

• Initiate rehabilitation of underground workings to prepare drill chambers and improve internal access.

• Define the western continuity of the Blenda Rubia lode through additional underground diamond drilling from mine workings.

• Integrate new drilling data into the geological model to refine lode geometry and mine planning potential.
