/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, July 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Silver Mountain Resources Inc. ("Silver Mountain" or the "Company") (TSXV: AGMR) is pleased to announce the signing of a landmark 20-year surface land use agreement (the "Agreement") with the Community of Salcca Santa Ana, marking the final approval required to restart operations at the Company's flagship Reliquias Mine, located in the historic mining district of Castrovirreyna, in Huancavelica, Peru.

The Agreement grants Silver Mountain long-term access to key surface areas critical for infrastructure, mining operations, and environmental management. It complements the 20-year agreement previously secured with the Community of Castrovirreyna, meaning that all community-related and regulatory approvals are now in place to recommence production activities at the Reliquias Mine.

The Agreement was reached through an inclusive and respectful dialogue process, reinforcing Silver Mountain's commitment to building strong and enduring partnerships with local communities.

"This milestone clears the path for a full restart of the Reliquias Mine," stated Álvaro Espinoza, CEO of Silver Mountain Resources. "We are extremely grateful for the support and trust of the Salcca Santa Ana community. With both cornerstone community agreements secured, we are ready to move forward with a modern and responsible mining operation that will generate long-term value for all our stakeholders — from our investors to the local population."

With this final agreement secured, Silver Mountain will commence preparations to begin development and operations at the Reliquias Mine. The Company will provide updates in due course outlining the project development schedule and key milestones.
