GR Silver Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (FRANKFURT: GPE) is pleased to announce results from drill hole SMS25-12, extending the mineralization approximately 75 metres (m) below the current San Marcial Resource Area (Figure 1) in the Plomosas Project. The step-out drilling intersected two silver mineralized zones with multiple intervals of high-grade silver, confirming the potential to expand the silver mineralization beyond the previous Resource Area boundary (Figure 1) and remains open at depth.
Highlights of Step-Out Drilling at San Marcial
GR Silver Mining’s President and CEO, Marcio Fonseca, commented, “The recent success of step-out drilling at the San Marcial Area in 2025 further strengthens our confidence in a large, continuous silver-mineralized system at San Marcial. We are planning a significant step-out drilling program in the first half of 2026 that could potentially double the existing silver mineralization footprint to support resource growth at San Marcial.”

Step-out drilling completed at San Marcial in 2025 has confirmed the continuation of wide silver mineralization, extending resource potential beyond the Resource Area (Figure 3). Hole SMS25-12 demonstrates the continuity of the silver mineralized system 150 m beyond previous underground drilling completed in 2021 (SMI21-04:38 m at 299 g/t Ag, including 3.5 m at 1,002 g/t Ag, see News Release dated July 31 2022) (Figure 2).
The confirmation of silver predominant mineralization, with low concentration of base metals, along multiple N-S and NW-SE structures, provides additional targets for the upcoming step-out drilling program planned for the first half of 2026 at the San Marcial Area (Figure 2). SMS25-12 demonstrates that the mineralization has continuity, not only in the chlorite-hematite hydrothermal breccia but, also in the lower volcano-sedimentary unit where a quartz-calcite-sulfide veining with silver is crosscutting early stage quartz-pyrite alteration, as shown in Figure 5.
SMS25-11, located 150 m NW from SMS25-09, returned a wide intercept of 24.6 m at 29 g/t Ag indicating presence of wide silver mineralized zones hosted near major structures with intensive hydrothermal alteration open for further investigation laterally and down-dip.

About the Plomosas Project
The Plomosas Project, including the recent high-grade silver discovery in the San Marcial SE Area, is progressing in 2025 as an emerging high-grade silver district, located within the southwestern edge of the Sierra Madre Occidental, Sinaloa, Mexico. The Plomosas Project covers 7,823 ha and includes the historical Plomosas Underground Mine. The district contains intermediate to low-sulfidation epithermal silver and gold mineralization, hosted in hydrothermal breccias and veins. Recent success in exploration and drilling has delineated wide, high-grade, shallow hydrothermal breccias in the San Marcial Area, including the SE Area discovery, where 2025 step-out drilling was just completed. At the historical Plomosas Mine, operated by Grupo Mexico from 1985 to 2000, underground sampling and metallurgical programs are being conducted to support future decisions regarding the implementation of a Bulk Sampling Test Mining Program.
QA/QC Procedures
The Company has implemented QA/QC procedures, which include the insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples in all sample lots sent to SGS de México, S.A. de C.V. laboratory facilities in Durango, Mexico, for sample preparation and assaying. For every sample with results above Ag > 100 ppm (over the limit), these samples are re-assayed by SGS de Mexico. Core samples are represented by both HQ and NQ diameters and samples are represented by ½ core split of original core. The analytical methods include four acid Digestion and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry, with Lead Fusion Fire Assay and a gravimetric finish for silver above over limits. For gold assays, the analytical methods are Lead Fusion and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, Lead Fusion Fire Assay, and gravimetric finish for gold above over limits (>10 ppm).
