Getchell Gold Corp. Commences Drill Program at Fondaway Canyon, Nevada
VANCOUVER, BC, July 23, 2025 /CNW/ - Getchell Gold Corp. (CSE: GTCH) (OTCQB: GGLDF) (FWB: GGA1) ("Getchell" or the"Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced the 2025 drill program at the Company's 100% owned Fondaway Canyon gold project (" Project") in Nevada. Key Highlights Large gold mineral resource Robust preliminary economic assessment Mineralization open for expansion 10-hole 3,000m (10,000 ft) drill program Designed to extend gold mineralization and increase mineral resource Fondaway Canyon The Project is located 140 kilometers ("km") (87 miles) northeast of Reno, and 58 km (36 miles) northeast of Fallon, Nevada. The Project covers a total claim area of 4,623 acres (1,871 hectares) and extends 7 km east-west encompassing the entirety of the Fondaway Canyon gold corridor. Moreover, the extent of the claim package offers ample area to support resource growth and the infrastructure required for future development. The Project contains a large mineral resource (news release dated September 11, 2024) comprising an Indicated Mineral Resource of 13.5 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.49 g/t Au, totaling 648,000 ounces of gold and an Inferred Mineral Resource estimated at 44.8 million tonnes at 1.16 g/t Au, amounting to 1,670,100 ounces of gold ("MRE"). Notably, gold mineralization starts at surface and remains open in most directions for further expansion. Following the MRE, a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") on the Project was completed and filed (news release dated February 7, 2025). The PEA outlined an open-pit mining operation coupled with a conventional 8,000 tonne per day milling process, projecting an initial mine life of approximately 10.5 years. The economic analysis highlighted robust project economics, with a pre-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") of US$ 546 million and 51.2% Internal Rate of Return ("IRR"), and after-tax NPV of US$ 474 million and 46.7% IRR, at a conservative 10% discount and gold price of US$ 2,250 per ounce. 2025 Drill Program Given that the mineral resource remains open in most directions, an initial 10-hole 3,000-metre (10,000 foot) drill program has been designed to further extend the mineralization, along strike and dip (Fig. 1), with the intent to increase the mineral resource, enlarge the open pit model, and substantially enhance the Project's overall value. For the first series of drill holes, the drill will be stationed in the Colorado Pit (Fig. 1) designed to expand the mineralization up-dip to the northeast, then progressing to test the northwestern strike extent, with the balance of the drilling designed to expand the mineralization down dip to the southwest (highlighted in Figure 2). Private Placement of Units The Company announces that it has issued an additional 1,000,000 units pursuant to its previously announced private placement financing of units (" Units") at a price of $0.20 per Unit. The additional subscription was not included in the original closing due to an administrative error. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.30 per share until July 22, 2028. Together with this additional subscription, the Company raised an aggregate of $4,200,000 under the private placement (the " Offering"), and the Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to spearhead the 2025 exploration program at the Fondaway Canyon gold project, as set out in greater detail in the Company's news release dated May 26, 2025. The additional securities issued under the Offering are subject to a four month hold period, expiring on November 23, 2025, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws." Notes on the PEA The PEA is preliminary in nature, includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that PEA results will be realized. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise specified. Base case parameters assume a gold price of $2,250 per ounce. NPV is calculated as of the commencement of construction and excludes all pre-construction costs. All figures are displayed on a 100% ownership basis. (1) Operating costs consist of mining costs, processing costs and mine site G&A. (2) Cash costs consist of operating costs plus treatment and refining charges and royalties. The PEA was prepared by Forte Dynamics Inc., of Fort Collins, Colorado ("Forte Dynamics") as the lead consultant in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Forte Dynamics was the lead study manager for mine planning, design parameters, and operating and capital cost estimates. The PEA was supported by Forte Analytical Inc. (metallurgical studies, process design, process facilities, and plant site infrastructure) and APEX Geoscience Ltd. (mineral resource estimate). The effective date of the PEA is January 15, 2025, and a technical report titled "The Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Getchell Gold Corp. Fondaway Canyon Project, Nevada, USA" has been filed on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR). Notes on the Mineral Resource Estimate: Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. There has been insufficient exploration to define the Inferred Resources tabulated above as an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource; however, it is reasonably expected that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. There is no guarantee that any part of the Mineral Resources discussed herein will be converted into a Mineral Reserve in the future. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, or other relevant issues. The Mineral Resources herein were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum standards on mineral resources and reserves, definitions, and guidelines prepared by the CIM standing committee on reserve definitions and adopted by the CIM council (CIM 2014 and 2019). The Mineral Resources Estimate is underpinned by data from 527 reverse circulation and diamond drillholes totaling 55,870m of drilling that intersected the mineralized domains. The mineral resource is reported at a lower cut-off of 0.3 g/t Au for the conceptual open pit and 1.75 g/t Au for the conceptual underground extraction scenario. The lower cut-off grades and potential mining scenarios were calculated using the following parameters: mining cost = US$2.70/t (open pit); G&A = US$2.00/t; processing cost = US$15.00/t; recoveries = 92%, gold price = US$1,950.00/oz; royalties = 1%; and minimum mining widths = 1.5 metres (underground) in order to meet the requirement that the reported Mineral Resources show "reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction". A density of 2.74 g/cm3 was used for the mineralized zones. The author is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political or marketing issues or any other relevant issue not reported in the technical report that could materially affect the mineral resource estimate. The Qualified Persons The independent and qualified person for the mineral resource estimate, as defined by NI 43-101, is Michael Dufresne, from APEX Geoscience Ltd. The qualified person overseeing the minable resource estimate used for the economic analysis is Jonathan R. Heiner, SME-RM, from Forte Dynamics, Inc. The qualified person overseeing the metallurgical testing and mineral processing is Deepak Malhotra, SME-RM, from Forte Dynamics, Inc.

Osisko Metals Gaspé Copper Project Intersects 645 Metres Averaging 0.28% Cu
MONTREAL, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Metals Incorporated (the 'Company' or 'Osisko Metals') ( TSX-V: OM ; OTCQX: OMZNF ; FRANKFURT: 0B51 ) is pleased to announce new drill results from the Gaspé Copper Project, located in the Gaspé Peninsula of Eastern Québec. Osisko Metals Chief Executive Officer Robert Wares commented: ' These new results underscore the overall large-scale potential of mineralization at Gaspé Copper, with drill hole 1082 cutting 853 metres of continuous mineralization, including the bottom 424 metres being located immediately below and outside the 2024 MRE model. Furthermore, drill hole 1088 intersected new mineralization 80 metres southwest of the 2024 MRE model, emphasizing the excellent potential for increasing the size of the known deposit at depth and to the south. ' Significant new analytical results are presented below (see Table 1) and include 35 mineralized intercepts from ten drill holes. Infill intercepts are all located inside the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate model ('MRE', see November 14, 2024 news release ), and are focused on upgrading inferred mineral resources to measured or indicated categories, as applicable. Expansion intercepts are all located outside the 2024 MRE model and may potentially lead to additional resources that will be classified appropriately within the next MRE update. Some of the reported intercepts have contiguous shallower infill as well as deeper expansion (noted on Table 1 below as 'Both**'). Maps showing hole locations are available at . Highlights: Table 1: Infill and Expansion Drilling Results * Please see explanatory notes below on copper equivalent values and Quality Assurance / Quality Control. ** 'Both' indicates these drill holes have contiguous shallower infill as well as deeper expansion intercepts. Discussion Drill hole 30-0974 was an extension of a shallow (300 m) hole drilled in 2019, located near the southwestern margin of the 2024 MRE model. It returned 295.5 metres averaging 0.29% Cu and 1.88 g/t Ag (infill) followed by a second intercept of 351.2 metres averaging 0.20% Cu and 1.72 g/t Ag (expansion) and a third deeper intercept of 48.0 metres averaging 0.32% Cu and 2.00 g/t Ag (expansion), extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 780 metres. Drill hole 30-1082, located on top of Copper Mountain near the central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 48.0 metres averaging 0.19% Cu and 1.46 g/t Ag (infill), followed by a second intercept of 147.5 metres averaging 0.19% Cu and 1.86 g/t Ag (infill), followed by a third deeper intercept of 853.5 metres averaging 0.20% Cu, 1.43 g/t Ag and 0.023% Mo. The latter incudes an expansion lower intercept, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 424.0 metres averaging 0.21% Cu, 1.33 g/t Ag and 0.026% Mo. This hole extends mineralization near the centre of the deposit to a vertical depth of 1140 metres. Drill hole 30-1083, located in the south-central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected two short 36 metre-long mineralized zones followed by 153.0 metres averaging 0.18% Cu and 1.56 g/t Ag (infill), followed by a deeper intercept of 427.5 metres averaging 0.26% Cu, 1.54 g/t Ag and 0.021% Mo. The latter incudes an expansion lower intercept, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 328.0 metres averaging 0.24% Cu, 1.43 g/t Ag and 0.020% Mo. This was followed by a final intercept of 55.5 metres averaging 0.16% Cu and 1.34 g/t Ag. This hole extends mineralization to a vertical depth of 900 metres. Drill hole 30-1087, located in the south-central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected a short 40 metre-long mineralized zone followed by 334.5 metres averaging 0.23% Cu, 1.93 g/t Ag and 0.011% Mo (infill). This was followed by 74.5 metres averaging 0.62% Cu and 3.19 g/t Ag and then by another 48.3 metres averaging 0.36% Cu and 2.83 g/t Ag (both expansion), extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 598 metres. Drill hole 30-1088, located 80 metres outside the southwestern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 42.0 metres averaging 0.32% Cu and 2.20 g/t Ag followed by 122.7 metres averaging 0.24% Cu and 2.63 g/t Ag. A third intersection at depth comprised 79.5 metres averaging 0.31% Cu and 2.19 g/t Ag (all expansion). Previously undocumented mineralization in this sector reached a vertical depth of 524 metres. Drill hole 30-1089, located in the south-central part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 91.5 metres averaging 0.21% Cu and 1.54 g/t Ag (infill), followed by two short 26 to 27 metre-long mineralized zones, followed by 645.0 metres averaging 0.28% Cu, 1.46 g/t Ag and 0.023% Mo. The latter incudes an expansion lower intercept, below the base of the 2024 MRE model, of 396.7 metres averaging 0.30% Cu, 1.34 g/t Ag and 0.023% Mo. This hole extends mineralization to a vertical depth of 965 metres. Drill hole 30-1091, located in the southeastern part of the 2024 MRE model, intersected two short 23 to 26 metre-long mineralized zones, followed by 210.0 metres averaging 0.21% Cu and 2.10 g/t Ag (infill). This was followed by 38.0 metres averaging 0.22% Cu and 1.50 g/t Ag and then by another 42.6 metres averaging 1.14% Cu and 5.86 g/t Ag (both expansion), extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 583 metres where the hole was stopped in an open stope of historical E Zone mining operations. Drill hole 30-1093, located near the southeastern margin of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 112.0 metres averaging 0.25% Cu and 2.73 g/t Ag (infill), followed by four short 23 to 67 metre-long mineralized zones (all expansion), which extended mineralization to a vertical depth of 834 metres. Drill hole 30-1094, located near the southern limit of the 2024 MRE model, intersected 227.5 metres averaging 0.26% Cu and 2.11 g/t Ag (infill), followed by 57.0 metres averaging 0.13% Cu and 1.33 g/t Ag (infill), followed by two short 26 to 50 metre-long mineralized zones (both expansion), which extended mineralization to a vertical depth of 561 metres. Mineralization occurs as disseminations and stockworks of chalcopyrite with pyrite or pyrrhotite and minor bornite and molybdenite. At least five retrograde vein/stockwork mineralizing events have been recognized at Copper Mountain, which overprint earlier prograde skarn and porcellanite-hosted mineralization throughout the Gaspé Copper system. Porcellanite is a historical mining term used to describe bleached, pale green to white potassic-altered hornfels. Subvertical stockwork mineralization dominates at Copper Mountain whereas prograde bedded replacement mineralization, which is mostly stratigraphically controlled, dominates in the area of Needle Mountain, Needle East and Copper Brook. High molybdenum grades (up to 0.5% Mo) were locally obtained in both the C Zone and E Zone skarns away from Copper Mountain. The 2022 to 2024 Osisko Metals drill programs were focused on defining open-pit resources within the Copper Mountain stockwork mineralization ( see May 6, 2024 MRE press release ). Extending the resource model south of Copper Mountain into the poorly-drilled prograde skarn/porcellanite portion of the system subsequently led to a significantly increased resource, mostly in the Inferred category ( see November 14, 2024 MRE press release ). The current drill program is designed to convert of the November 2024 MRE to Measured and Indicated categories, as well as test the expansion of the system deeper into the stratigraphy and laterally to the south and southwest towards Needle East and Needle Mountain respectively. The November 2024 MRE was limited at depth to the base of the L1 skarn horizon (C Zone), and all mineralized intersections below this horizon represent potential depth extensions to the deposit, to be included in the next scheduled MRE update in Q1 2026. All holes are being drilled sub-vertically into the altered calcareous stratigraphy which dips 20 to 25 degrees to the north. The L1 (C Zone) and the L2 (E Zone) skarn/marble horizons were intersected in most holes, as well as intervening porcellanites that host the bulk of the disseminated copper mineralization. Table 2: Drill hole locations Explanatory note regarding copper-equivalent grades Copper Equivalent grades are expressed for purposes of simplicity and are calculated taking into account: 1) metal grades; 2) estimated long-term prices of metals: US$4.25/lb copper, $20.00/lb molybdenum and US$24/oz silver; 3) estimated recoveries of 92%, 70% and 70% for Cu, Mo and Ag respectively; and 4) net smelter return value of metals as percentage of the price, estimated at 86.5%, 90.7% and 75.0% for Cu, Mo and Ag respectively.

New Found Gold Expands and Confirms Continuity of High-Grade Gold Mineralization at the Keats West Zone
VANCOUVER, BC, July 9, 2025 /CNW/ - New Found Gold Corp. (" New Found Gold" or the " Company") (TSXV: NFG) (NYSE-A: NFGC) is pleased to announce the first drill results from the Company's 2025 Work Program at its 100%-owned Queensway Gold Project (" Queensway" or the " Project") in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Highlights - Keats West 1 in the AFZ Core: Keats West open pit infill drilling: 55.0 g/t of Au over 35.05 m (NFGC-24-2254) 2 20.7 g/t Au over 18.05 m (NFGC-24-2258). 15.4 g/t Au over 16.70 m (NFGC-24-2260). Confirms continuity of multiple domains of high-grade gold within Keats West. Defines regions of new gold mineralization within the proposed Keats West open pit that are currently outside of the MRE 3 block model. Keats West UG 4 infill drilling: 7.08 g/t Au over 15.55 m (NFGC-24-2243A). Demonstrates potential to expand high-grade mineralization beyond the current open pit extents. Melissa Render, President of New Found Gold stated:"Today's results confirm the continuity and high-grade tenor of gold mineralization at Keats West, as well as the in-pit and near-pit expansion potential. These domains of high-grade mineralization start at surface and remain above a vertical depth of 150 metres and are located in proximity to other key zones, such as Iceberg and Keats in the AFZ Core area. Project advancement following the release of the initial MRE in March 2025 is focused on derisking high priority open pits, like Keats West with infill drilling targeting the higher-grade portions to start." Results Summary This news release includes results from 2,691 m of drilling in 22 diamond drill holes (" DDH") completed in Q2/25 as part of an infill program at Keats West in the AFZ Core (Tables 1 to 3). The program has been designed to target mineralization within the Keats West MRE open pit constraints, first focussing on converting resource blocks to indicated classification thereby increasing the confidence level in high-grade domains. In addition, results are reported from infill drilling, completed immediately beyond the south end of the proposed Keats West open pit within a preliminary UG panel. Keats West Open Pit Infill: Keats West highlight infill holes targeting the high-grade domains announced today include 55.0 g/t Au over 35.05 m (NFGC-25-2254), 20.7 g/t Au over 18.05 m (NFGC-25-2258), 15.4 g/t Au over 16.70 m (NFGC-25-2260) and 13.1 g/t Au over 10.60 m (NFGC-25-2245). These intercepts demonstrate the strong continuity of the high-grade corridors within the hosting Keats West fault zone that has a mineralized footprint of 315 m wide by 305 m long, with true widths averaging 20 m and ranging up to 50 m (Figure 1). Multiple regions within the Keats West open pit tested by the infill program intercepted significant mineralization outside of the current MRE block model. Intervals in these regions include 4.29 g/t Au over 22.00 m (NFGC-25-2242), 2.85 g/t Au over 33.85 m (NFGC-25-2247), 1.31 g/t Au over 30.00 m (NFGC-25-2257) and 10.6 g/t Au over 4.85 m (NFGC-25-2245) (Figure 2). Overall, the results correlate well to the MRE block model, with local fluctuations where grades were either higher or lower than anticipated. Keats West mineralization occurs within a gently south-southwest dipping fault zone that hosts a series of stacked and cross-cutting gold-bearing quartz veins on the west side of the AFZ in the AFZ Core area. The high-grade mineralization starts at surface and extends to depths of 150 m vertical, a shallowly positioned gold system. Keats West UG Infill: 7.08 g/t Au over 15.55 m (NFGC-25-2243A) was intersected at the south end of the Keats West zone, immediately beyond the proposed open pit, within the extents of one 50 m long preliminary UG panel that contributed to the MRE in the Keats West area (Figures 1 and 2). Follow up drilling has been completed in this sparsely tested region; results of this program are pending. Looking Ahead The Company will continue the work program at Keats West in H2/25 to complete infill drilling targeting the remaining domains of lower grade material in addition to expansion drilling in new areas of mineralization within the open pit. Subject to obtaining positive results from the UG follow-up program, drilling at Keats West will work to expand the deeper portions of this zone. Infill drilling has also been completed at the Lotto and Lotto North zones, while step-out and infill drilling is ongoing at the Iceberg, K2, Dome-Lotto and Dropkick zones, as well as at AFZ Peripheral conceptual and early-stage exploration target areas. The channel sampling at the Iceberg excavation that began in May 2025 is nearly complete. Results from ongoing work will be released as they become available. Excavation of the Lotto Zone (' Lotto") is underway. The objective of this work is to expose a 210 m long segment of Lotto to add certainty to the geological model and assess grade continuity. Excavating will be followed by detailed mapping, channel sampling and additional definition drilling. Tightly spaced definition drilling targeting key segments of the Keats-Baseline Fault Zone that have been excavated will also commence in Q3/25 starting at Keats, followed by Iceberg. On November 6, 2024, the Company announced it had engaged SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd (" SLR") to deliver an initial MRE and preliminary economic assessment (" PEA"). The MRE was announced on March 24, 2025, and a PEA is ongoing with a revised target completion date of early Q3/25. This is an important milestone for the Project as it will provide preliminary project economics in addition to defining the work programs that will allow the Company to advance the Project. Mine design and planning, metallurgical processing and economic optimizations will be conducted by SLR to complete the PEA. Table 1: Drill Result Highlights Note that the host structures are interpreted to be moderately to steeply dipping. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional uncertainty in true width. Composite intervals reported carry a minimum weighted average of 1 g/t Au diluted over a minimum core length of 2 m with a maximum of 4m consecutive dilution when above 200 m vertical depth and 2 m consecutive dilution when below 200 m vertical depth. Included high-grade intercepts are reported as any consecutive interval with grades greater than 10 g/t Au. Grades have not been capped in the averaging and intervals are reported as drill thickness. Details of all 22 drill holes are included in Table 2 and Table 3 below. Table 2: Summary of composite results reported in this news release for Keats West. Note that the host structures are interpreted to be moderately to steeply dipping. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional uncertainty in true width. Composite intervals reported carry a minimum weighted average of 1 g/t Au diluted over a minimum core length of 2 m with a maximum of 4 m consecutive dilution when above 200 m vertical depth and 2 m consecutive dilution when below 200 m vertical depth.

Table 3: Details of drill holes reported in this news release. Sampling, Sub-sampling, and Laboratory All drilling recovers HQ core. For deep holes, the core size may be reduced to NQ at depth. The drill core is split in half using a diamond saw or a hydraulic splitter for rare intersections with incompetent core. A geologist examines the drill core and marks out the intervals to be sampled and the cutting line. Sample lengths are mostly 1.0 meter and adjusted to respect lithological and/or mineralogical contacts and isolate narrow (<1.0m) veins or other structures that may yield higher grades. Technicians saw the core along the defined cutting line. One-half of the core is kept as a witness sample and the other half is submitted for analysis. Individual sample bags are sealed and placed into totes, which are then sealed and marked with the contents. New Found Gold has submitted samples for gold determination by PhotonAssay™ to ALS Canada Ltd. ("ALS") since February 2024. ALS operates under a commercial contract with New Found Gold. Drill core samples are shipped to ALS for sample preparation in Thunder Bay, Ontario. ALS does not currently have accreditation for the PhotonAssay™ method at their Thunder Bay, ON laboratory. They do however have ISO/IEC 17025 (2017) accreditation for gamma ray analysis of samples for gold at their Australian labs with this method, including the Canning Vale lab in Perth, WA. Samples submitted to ALS beginning in February 2024, received gold analysis by photon assay whereby the entire sample is crushed to approximately 70% passing 2 mm mesh. The sample is then riffle split and transferred into jars. For "routine" samples that do not have VG identified and are not within a mineralized zone, one (300-500g) jar is analyzed by photon assay. If the jar assays greater than 0.8 g/t, the remaining crushed material is weighed into multiple jars and submitted for photon assay. For samples that have VG identified, the entire crushed sample is riffle split and weighed into multiple jars that are submitted for photon assay. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Select samples prepared at ALS are also analyzed for a multi-element ICP package (ALS method code ME-ICP61) at ALS Vancouver. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control, and interpretation of results are performed by qualified persons employing a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with industry best practices. Standards and blanks account for a minimum of 10% of the samples in addition to the laboratory's internal quality assurance programs. Quality Control data are evaluated on receipt from the laboratories for failures. Appropriate action is taken if assay results for standards and blanks fall outside allowed tolerances. All results stated have passed New Found's quality control protocols. New Found's quality control program also includes submission of the second half of the core for approximately 2% of the drilled intervals. In addition, approximately 1% of sample pulps for mineralized samples are submitted for re-analysis to a second ISO-accredited laboratory for check assays. The Company does not recognize any factors of drilling, sampling, or recovery that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the assay data disclosed. The assay data disclosed in this press release have been verified by the Company's Qualified Person against the original assay certificates. The Company notes that it has not completed any economic evaluations of the Project and that the Project does not have any reserves.

GR Silver Mining Reports Initial High-Grade Results from Plomosas Mine Sampling Program
VANCOUVER, BC, July 8, 2025 /CNW/ - GR Silver Mining Ltd. (" GR Silver Mining" or the " Company") (TSXV: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (FRANKFURT: GPE) – is pleased to report initial results of Phase I of the new underground sampling program (the "Program") at the Plomosas Mine, Sinaloa, Mexico. The Program was designed around the following objectives: To model the recently mapped high-grade silver zones in the interior of the historic Plomosas Mine, post completion of the March 2023 NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate ("MRE"); To collect metallurgical test work samples essential to define key parameters for implementation of a Bulk Sampling Test Mining Program (" BSTM") at the Plomosas Mine (Table 1); and To enhance the existing database of underground samples for improved reconciliation between the MRE and areas identified for a BSTM. Sampling Highlights Initial highlights of the Phase I Plomosas Mine underground sampling program include: Chip Mine Face Sample – Level 883 - 2,423 g/t Ag Eq*, consisting of 675 g/t Ag, 46.9% Pb, 4.5% Zn and 0.54 g/t Au (Polymetallic Hydrothermal Breccia – Massive Sulphide) Channel Sample – Level 833 – 0.8 m @ 2,019 g/t Ag Eq, consisting of 137 g/t Ag, 5.74 g/t Au, 16.7% Pb, and 18.2% Zn (Polymetallic Hydrothermal Breccia – Massive Sulphide) Channel Sample – Level 950 – 0.6 m @ 3,993 g/t Ag Eq, 310 g/t Ag, 15.20 g/t Au, 26.2% Pb and 10.2% Zn (Polymetallic Hydrothermal Breccia – Massive Sulphide) GR Silver Mining's President and CEO, Marcio Fonseca, commented "The success of our new geological model at the Plomosas Mine, completed during the last 6 months, combined with detailed underground sampling, will be fundamental for the future development of engineering parameters to assess implementation of a Bulk Sampling Test Mining program in the underground mine. The current site has initial infrastructure and key permits in place, which can assist in any future mine and processing plant developments at the historic Plomosas Mine." The Program will consist of two phases over the next four months, whereby Phase I assesses metallurgical data collected to support engineering studies as part of the BSTM, and Phase II will complete a much larger dataset to help refine basic mining engineering and planning. Both phases of the Program will support a decision to potentially implement a BSTM at the Plomosas Mine before year-end. The Program leverages existing permits to operate at the Plomosas Mine, providing full access to the 7.4 km of underground development. Access to multiple areas for sampling, as shown in Figure 1, has enabled a better identification of unmined regions with high-grade, continuous silver, gold, and base metal mineralization at various levels of the underground mine. Assay results from 21 samples collected at the chosen sites (Table 1) have returned high-grade results, with values of up to 3,993 g/t Ag Eq. Multiple high-grade results indicate potential areas to advance Phase II, targeting the collection of additional metallurgical data and progress towards the implementation of a BSTM in the Plomosas Mine.

Ag Eq = ((Ag grade x Ag Price x Ag recovery) + (Au grade x Au price x Au recovery) + (Pb grade x Pb price x Pb recovery) + (Zn grade x Zn price x Zn recovery) + (Cu grade x Cu price x Cu recovery)/(Ag price x Ag recovery) The areas selected for Phases I and II of the Program consist of material where mineralization is continuous, with evidence of silver, gold and base metal mineralization at concentrations attractive for a potential BSTM in early 2026. The BSTM will also require the construction of a demonstration processing plant on site, with details to be defined after the completion of Phase II and associated engineering studies. The Company plans to continue investigating opportunities at the Plomosas Mine, based on recent success, targeting the higher-grade silver zones in the MRE, which may support the implementation of a BSTM. Note: Purple shapes are potential stopes blocks for BSTM. Pale grey represents existing underground developments of varying sizes, ramps and historical stopes. 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 in southern Sinaloa, Mexico. The Plomosas Project, covering 43,187 ha, benefits from mine infrastructure, road access and existing permits associated with past-producing historical mining sites. 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 step-out drilling is progressing in 2025, aiming for continuous resource growth. At the historical Plomosas Mine, where a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico operated the underground mine from 1985 to 2000, exploratory and metallurgical programs are being conducted to support future decisions regarding the implementation of a BSTM. 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.
