2025 Momentum and 2026 Execution Focus

Alvaro Espinoza, Chief Executive Officer of Silver Mountain, stated:
"Being named to the TSX Venture 50™ is a powerful validation of the momentum we have built and the value we are creating for shareholders. Over the past year, we delivered approximately 440% share price appreciation, raised approximately C$55 million to strengthen our financial position, and advanced our core asset, the Reliquias Project, towards an expected production restart targeted for the third quarter of 2026.
This recognition belongs to our people. I want to sincerely thank our team for their outstanding performance, execution, and commitment, as well as our Board of Directors for their continued support and guidance – this achievement would not have been possible without them.
With a strengthened balance sheet and a clear operational roadmap, we believe 2026 will be a transformational year as we continue to execute, advance Reliquias towards anticipated production, and build long-term shareholder value."
