FISCAL 2025 HIGHLIGHT

• The Company filed an independent Preliminary Economic Assessment technical report for its Carangas Project (the "Carangas PEA Technical Report") on November 15, 2024. The Carangas PEA Technical Report is effective September 5, 2024 and was independently prepared by RPMGlobal Limited ("RPMGlobal") in accordance with National Instrument 43‐101 ‐ Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43‐101"). Highlights of the Carangas PEA Technical Report are as follows:
  • Post‐tax net present value ("NPV") (5%) of $501 million and internal rate of return ("IRR") of 26% at a base case price of $24.00/ounce ("oz") silver, $1.25/pound ("lb") zinc, and $0.95/lb lead;
  • 16‐year life of mine ("LOM"), excluding 2‐years of pre‐production, producing approximately 106 million oz ("Moz") of payable silver, 620 million lbs ("Mlbs") of payable zinc and 382 Mlbs of payable lead;
  • Initial capital costs of $324 million and a post‐tax paybacks of 3.2 years;
  • Average LOM all‐in sustaining cost ("AISC") of $7.60/oz silver, net of by‐products; and
  • Approximately 500 direct permanent jobs to be created from the Carangas Project.
• The Company has taken steps to address the presence of artisanal and small-scale miners ("ASMs") in areas of the Silver Sand Project since 2023.  On June 25, 2025, through a formal judicial resolution process in Bolivia, the Departmental Court of Justice of La Paz granted an amparo (a constitutional protection action) (the "Amparo") to the Company that provides the Silver Sand Project with immediate and long-term protection against any kinds of encroachment and illegal mining activities. Since July 1, 2025, the ASMs' have stopped their mining activities and withdrawn from the Silver Sand Project area and the Company has successfully regained access to the area and established a temporary camp.  Survey and inspection work has been performed in the area to measure the extent of the impact of the ASMs' activities on the Silver Sand Project's mineral resources, preliminary results indicate the mineralized material extracted is not material.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING RESULTS OF PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT

The results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 titled "Carangas Deposit – Preliminary Economic Assessment" with an effective date of September 5, 2024 and prepared by certain qualified persons associated with RPMGlobal (the "Carangas PEA") are preliminary in nature and are intended to provide an initial assessment of the Project's economic potential and development options. The Carangas PEA mine schedule and economic assessment includes numerous assumptions and is based on both Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. Inferred resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessments described herein will be achieved or that the Carangas PEA results will be realized. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by geology, environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues. Mineral resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Additional exploration will be required to potentially upgrade the classification of the Inferred Mineral Resources to be considered in future advanced studies. RPMGlobal (mineral resource, infrastructure, tailings, water management, environmental and financial analysis) was contracted to conduct the Carangas PEA in cooperation with Moose Mountain Technical Services (mining), and JJ Metallurgical Services (Metallurgy). The qualified persons for the Carangas PEA for the purposes of NI 43-101 are Mr. Marcelo del Giudice, FAusIMM, Principal Metallurgist with RPMGlobal,  Mr. Pedro Repetto, SME, P.E., Principal Civil/Geotechnical Engineer with RPMGlobal, Mr. Gonzalo Rios, FAusIMM, Executive Consultant – ESG with RPMGlobal, Mr. Jinxing Ji, P.Eng., Metallurgist with JJ Metallurgical Services, and Mr. Marc Schulte, P.Eng., Mining Engineer with Moose Mountain Technical Services., in addition to Mr. Anderson Candido, FAusIMM, Principal Geologist with RPMGlobal who estimated the Mineral Resources. All qualified persons for the Carangas PEA have reviewed the disclosure of the Carangas PEA herein. The Carangas PEA is based on the Carangas MRE, which was reported on September 5, 2023. The effective date of the Carangas MRE is August 25, 2023. Mineral Resources are constrained by an optimized pit shell at a metal price of US$23.00/oz Ag, US$1,900.00/oz Au, US$0.95/lb Pb, US$1.25/lb Zn, recovery of 90% Ag, 98% Au, 83% Pb, 58% Zn and Cut-off grade of 40 g/t AgEq. Assumptions made to derive a cut-off grade included mining costs, processing costs, and recoveries were obtained from comparable industry situations.
