Alaska Silver Corp. (TSX-V: WAM) announces that, in accordance with the Articles of the Company, it has simplified its dual- class share structure by eliminating the class of proportionate voting shares as an authorized class of shares and renaming the subordinate voting shares of the Company as “Common Shares”. This change follows from the Company’s conversion of all outstanding proportionate voting shares into subordinate voting shares on March 9, 2026 (see the Company’s news release dated February 11, 2026).
Kit Marrs, CEO, stated: “This is a clean reset for Alaska Silver. Our legacy dual-class structure—tied to our former Foreign Private Issuer status—no longer reflected who we are today. By moving to a single class of common shares, we’re simplifying our story, improving accessibility, and positioning the stock for stronger liquidity. We believe this change makes Alaska Silver more investable and gives the market a clearer, more compelling view of our value. I wish to express my gratitude to our legacy shareholders who have worked with us through this long conversion process. As we launch our 2026 drilling program, this continues to be a pivotal time for our company in so many ways.”
The Common Shares are anticipated to begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under a new CUSIP (01176C208) and ISIN (CA01176C2085) as at the open of market on May 11, 2026. The stock symbol assigned to the Common shares (WAM) will not be affected by the change.
The Capital Alteration has been effected by way of amendment to the Company’s Notice of Articles and Articles and was approved by the board of directors of the Company on May 6, 2026.
Registered shareholders who hold certificates or DRS (Direct Registration System) statements representing subordinate voting shares do not need to take any further action. Existing share certificates or DRS statements will still be valid in representing Common Shares. Beneficial holders who have questions regarding their Common Shares should contact their investment advisor or stockbroker for more information.

About Alaska Silver
Alaska Silver is a junior exploration company focused on the discovery and development of high- grade silver, gold and critical metals assets within one of North America’s major high-grade silver and critical minerals districts at their Illinois Creek (IC) Project in western Alaska. Illinois Creek is a contiguous, 100%-owned land package totaling 80,895 acres (126.4 square miles or 32,337 hectares) anchored by two resource-level mineralization zones separated by 8 km of high potential exploration ground. At one end lies the high-grade silver mineralization at the Waterpump Creek zone, which hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 75 Moz AgEq at a grade of 279 g/t silver, 11.28 % zinc and 9.87% lead 1,2 , that remains open to the north and south, as well as by the Illinois Creek mine. At the western end is the historical past-producing Illinois Creek Mine that closed due to low metal prices leaving untouched Indicated Mineral Resources of 260,000 oz gold at 0.92 g/t Au and 8.3 Moz silver at 29.72 g/t Ag, along with Inferred Mineral Resources of 290,000 oz gold at 0.84 g/t Au and 10.4 Moz silver at 30.11 g/t Ag 2,3 . The IC Project is located approximately 38 kilometers from the Yukon River, the region’s primary marine transportation corridor. Headquartered in Alaska and Arizona, Alaska Silver is led by a team with a proven track record of large-scale mine discoveries.
1For Waterpump Creek, the formulas for AgEq are AgEq (g/t)= Ag (g/t) + 28.56 x Pb(%) + 37.12 x Zn(%) and assume metal prices of US$24/oz Ag, US$1.30/lb Zn, and US$ 1.00/lb Pb.
