Silverco Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: SICO) is pleased to report additional assay results from its 15,000 metre 2025 diamond drill program at the Company’s 100%-owned Cusi Property, located approximately 90 kilometres northwest of First Majestic’s Los Gatos Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Cusi was in commercial production until September 2023, when it was placed on care and maintenance. The Company acquired Cusi and completed an initial 5,500m drill program in 2024, the results of which are outlined in the October 30, 2025 news release. Silverco’s ongoing 15,000-metre drill program is primarily focused on expanding the potential of its San Miguel target, to form the basis for an expanded, higher-grade resource base. The initial batch of assays from the 2025 program were reported in the November 11, 2025 news release. This release encompasses the remaining drill holes to be included in the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate update.
Ongoing drilling at San Miguel has continued to successfully expand the vein system, extending the vein to the southwest by approximately 50 metres. Hole CU-25-35 intersected 3.4 metres of 425 g/t AgEq at a similar depth as the previously released CU-25-29’s 8.6 metres of 250 g/t AgEq. The high-grade intercept in CU-25-33 with 1.2 metres of 554 g/t AgEq was also at a similar depth to CU-25-29’s high grade 2.1 metres of 1,042 g/t AgEq.
Drilling at Eduwiges for 2025 was focused on infilling the 200-metre step out drilled in CU-24-10c of 3.2 metres of 519 g/t AgEq. The first two holes received from the 2025 program successfully connected the step out. Hole CU-25-34 intercepted 1.1 metre of 259 g/t AgEq and CU-25-36a intercepted 1.5 metre of 764 g/t AgEq. These holes were all drilled to the east of the Cusi Fault and confirmed the continuation of mineralization beyond the fault to the east, opening up significant resource expansion potential. The company plans on drilling underground at Eduwiges in the future to take advantage of existing infrastructure and save on drilling metres.
Mark Ayranto, CEO of Silverco, commented:
“These results provide the final set of assays for inclusion in our upcoming Mineral Resource update. The consistently strong drilling at San Miguel, confirming continuous mineralization across multiple, parallel veins with significant widths and grades, solidifies our expectation of defining another substantial, high-quality silver deposit at Cusi. We expect to publish the Resource update in December. At Eduwiges, our infill program successfully confirmed the continuity of last year’s step out 519 g/t AgEq discovery with recent high-grade intercepts of 764 g/t AgEq. We are now aggressively prioritizing underground drilling at Promontorio and plan to get underground at Eduwiges following mine rehabilitation to capitalize on the significant expansion potential of the downthrown blocks.”
Details of the 2025 Drill Program
The 2025 program consists of 15,000 metres of surface diamond drilling. The program is approximately three quarters complete. Receipt of assays is expected to continue in the current quarter and into the first quarter of 2026. The 2025 program is primarily focused on following up on the San Miguel results from 2024, with the aim of extending vein along strike and at depth. In addition, some exploratory and infill drilling of the downthrown blocks on the property are planned. Drilling was performed from surface by a local contractor, utilizing portable drill rigs. All core was HQ in size for holes up to 400 metres in depth. Any holes beyond this depth were switched to NQ upon reaching 400 metres.

San Miguel Vein – Inset Claims Target
With the acquisition of the Cusi Property, the Company additionally acquired and consolidated two inset claims along the San Miguel vein system. These claims had been in dispute since 2007 and no exploration work had been performed since 2007. This area has a small open pit mine at surface (~30m depth) and minor underground workings from historical mining, assumed to be pre-2000s.
The mineralization at the San Miguel vein system is hosted within a sequence of rhyolite lapilli tuff. The host rock is characterized by strong to moderate silicification and local oxidation and chlorite alteration, indicating a significant hydrothermal system was active in the area. The mineralized structures consist of a series of steeply-dipping, parallel veins, primarily presenting as a hydrothermal breccia. This breccia is a fractured and cemented rock, with fragments of the host rock and angular quartz clasts cemented by silica. Vein widths are variable, ranging from less than 1.0m to exceeding 5.0m, and are steeply dipping at 70-80o.

Cusi Downthrown Block Targets
The Company’s exploration target for the historical mining areas is based on a structural model which suggests a significant post-mineral fault has displaced all the vein systems on the property to the east of the Cusi fault. This means the downthrown block, while occurring at a deeper elevation relative to surface, represents the same favorable relative elevation within the overall epithermal mineral system. This structural understanding indicates the continued potential for the same high-grade silver mineralization found in the un-faulted portions of the deposit. A conceptual exploration model is provided in Figure 6, with the Promontorio underground workings reference for scale.

Notes
Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Sampling Procedures
All diamond drill core from the 2025 program at the Cusi Project was logged, photographed, and sawn in half using a diamond blade core saw. One half of the core was submitted for geochemical analysis, while the other half was retained in secure storage for reference. Sampling intervals were determined based on geological boundaries and typically ranged from 0.3- 1.5 metres. Control samples comprised approximately 18% of all samples submitted, including certified reference standards, analytical blanks, field duplicates, preparation duplicates and analytical duplicates. QA/QC results were reviewed in real time, and all data have been verified as meeting acceptable thresholds for accuracy, precision, and contamination before inclusion in this release.
Drill core and rock samples were sent to ALS Minerals for analysis with sample preparation in Chihuahua, Mexico and analysis in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples remained under Company custody until delivery to ALS; sealed bags were transported by Company personnel to ALS Chihuahua. The ALS Chihuahua and North Vancouver facilities are ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Samples are dried, weighed, and crushed to at least 70% passing 2mm, and a 250 g split is pulverized to at least 85% passing 75 μm (PREP-31). Silver and base metals are analyzed using a four-acid digestion and ICP-AES. Over-limit analyses for silver (>100 ppm), lead (>10,000 ppm), and zinc (>10,000 ppm) are re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion and ICP-AES (ME-OG62). Samples with over-limit silver assays > 1500 ppm are analyzed by 30-gram fire assay with a gravimetric finish (Ag-GRA21). Gold is assayed by 30-gram fire assay and AAS (Au-AA23)
