/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, BC, June 3, 2025 /CNW/ - Silver Viper Minerals Corp. (the "Company" or "Silver Viper") (TSXV: VIPR) (OTC: VIPRF) is pleased to announce that the Company intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement financing (the "Offering") to raise gross proceeds of up to $3,500,000 from the sale of up to 23,333,334 units ("Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one common share of the Company (each, a "Share") and one half of one warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share from the Company at a price of $0.35 per Share for a period of 24 months from their date of issue.

The Issuer intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for drilling and other exploration activities at La Virginia and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Offering is anticipated to close in a series of tranches, with the first tranche on or about June 16, 2025. The closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and certain other conditions customary for a private placement of this nature. All Units issued in connection with the Offering will bear a legend indicating that they are subject to a trading restriction for a period of 12 months following the closing of the transaction.

In connection with the Offering, certain individuals (each, a "Finder" and collectively, the "Finders") will be entitled to receive either: (i) a cash commission of up to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised under the Offering from subscribers introduced to the Corporation by the Finder; or (ii) a number of units (the "Finder's Units") equal to up to 6.0% of the Units issued to such subscribers. The Finder's Units will have the same terms as the Units offered to subscribers under this Agreement.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer of securities for sale in the United States, nor will there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

In the interim, Steve Cope, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), will assume the responsibilities of the CFO on a temporary basis until a successor is appointed.
