Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSX-V: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG) is pleased to report continued drilling success from the Los Mangos vein system, part of its 100%-owned Santa Ana high-grade silver project in Colombia. The latest results highlight the expansion potential of the system along strike to the north and continued high-grade mineralization associated with the Mangos fault structure to the south.
Highlights
Holes DH469 and DH472 represent a 150-metre step-out to the north from known mineralization. The zone tested lies beneath a minor topographic elevation and confirms the continuity of the Los Mangos vein system, as well as the presence of high-grade mineralization at depth (Figure 3). These results significantly extend the system’s footprint and indicate the presence of a new mineralized shoot north of the previous intercepts. The discovery of high-grade silver mineralization in hole DH469 strongly supports the potential for additional high-grade zones deeper in the system. Follow-up drilling is planned to evaluate the vertical continuity and volume potential of this emerging northern shoot.
Hole DH466 confirms that the Mangos Fault continues to deliver encouraging silver grades at depth, even at the southern margins of the known system. The Mangos Fault has emerged as a promising structure with consistent mineralization, reinforcing its role in controlling high-grade shoots (Figure 2).
“The result from DH469 is a powerful confirmation that the Los Mangos vein system continues to deliver high-grade silver mineralization even beyond our current footprint,” commented Guillermo Hernandez, Vice President of Exploration. “This 150-meter step-out significantly expands the system and opens a new corridor for future mineral resource growth. Our team is excited to test this zone at depth, as the geometry and grade point to another shoot, reinforcing our strategy of stepping out aggressively while continuing to build on our vein inventory.”
Outcrop Silver has completed over 13,400 metres of drilling across the Santa Ana Project in 2025 and continues to advance both mineral resource growth and discovery-focused drilling, with three rigs currently active on site.

Fe de erratas – Revised intercept for hole DH461
During routine internal quality control, the company identified an underreported silver value in its database for sample #11140 (from 228.14 to 228.45 metres), initially disclosed in the news release dated May 14, 2025. The silver grade was mistakenly recorded as 1,500 g/t Ag, which reflected the capped limit used for the specific assay method (8AR-AA), rather than the actual overlimit value reported through Fire-Assay on the original laboratory certificate (FA-GRA). The correct silver grade for sample #11140 is 5,711 g/t Ag (Table 4).

1Silver Equivalent
Metal prices used for equivalent calculations were US$1,800/oz for gold, and US$25/oz for silver. Metallurgical recoveries based on Outcrop Silver’s metallurgical test work are 97% for gold and 93% for silver (see news release dated August 23, 2023). The equivalency formula is as follows:
QA/QC
Outcrop Silver applied its standard protocols for sampling and assay for exploration activities. Underground channel samples were taken perpendicular to the vein and sample length was broken by geology. Core diameter is a mix of HTW and NTW depending on the depth of the drill hole. Diamond drill core boxes were photographed, sawed, sampled and tagged. Samples were bagged, tagged and packaged for shipment by truck from Santa Ana’s core logging facilities in Falan, Colombia to the Actlabs certified sample preparation facility in Medellin, Colombia. ActLabs is an accredited laboratory independent of the Company. HQ-NTW core is sawn with one-half shipped. Samples delivered to Actlabs were AA assayed on Au, Ag, Pb, and Zn at Medellin using 1A2Au, 1A3Au, Multi-elements AR (Ag Cu Pb Zn), and Code 8 methods. Then, samples were sent to Actlabs Mexico for ICP-multi-elemental analysis with code 1E3. In line with QA/QC best practices, blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials are inserted at approximately three control samples every twenty samples into the sample stream, monitoring laboratory performance. A comparison of control samples and their standard deviations indicates acceptable accuracy of the assays and no detectible contamination. No material QA/QC issues have been identified with respect to sample collection, security and assaying. The samples are analyzed for gold and silver using a standard fire assay on a 30-gram sample with a gravimetric finish for over-limits. Multi-element geochemistry was determined by ICP-MS using either aqua regia or four acid digestions. Crush rejects, pulps, and the remaining core are stored in a secured facility at Santa Ana for future assay verification.

About Santa Ana
The 100% owned Santa Ana project covers 27,000 hectares within the Mariquita District, through titles and applications, known as the largest and highest-grade primary silver district in Colombia with mining records dating back to 1585.
Santa Ana’s maiden resource estimate, detailed in the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled “Santa Ana Property Mineral Resource Estimate,” dated June 8, 2023, prepared by AMC Mining Consultants, indicates an estimated indicated resource of 1,226 thousand tonnes containing 24.2 million ounces silver equivalent1 at a grade of 614 grams per tonne and an inferred resource of 966 thousand tonnes containing 13.5 million ounces at a grade of 435 grams per tonne of silver equivalent1. The identified resources span seven major vein systems that include multiple parallel veins and ore shoots: Santa Ana (San Antonio, Roberto Tovar, San Juan shoots); La Porfia (La Ivana); El Dorado (El Dorado, La Abeja shoots); Paraiso (Megapozo); Las Maras; Los Naranjos, and La Isabela.
The drilling campaign aims to extend known mineralization and test new high-potential areas along the permitted section of the project’s extensive 30 kilometres of mineralized trend. This year’s exploration strategy aims to demonstrate a clear pathway to substantially expand the resource. These efforts underscore the scalability of Santa Ana and its potential for substantial resource growth, positioning the project to develop into a high-grade, economically viable, and environmentally responsible silver mine.

Coordinates are in the UTM system, zone 18N, and WGS84 projection. Hole DH472 intercepted 0.93 m of quartz vein with No Significant Results in the Los Mangos vein. No Significant Result means an intercept lower than 200 g/t AgEq1. (CNW Group/Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation)
