("Silver Mountain" or the "Company") (TSXV: AGMR) (OTCQB: AGMRF) (BVL: AGMR) is pleased to provide an operational update on the advancement of restart activities at its flagship Reliquias Mine located Huancavelica, Peru (the "Reliquias Mine"), confirming that all key workstreams are progressing in accordance with the Company's planned timeline to restart commercial production at the Reliquias Mine in Q3 2026. Underground development activities at the Reliquias Mine continue to advance steadily. To date, the Company has completed approximately 1,500 metres of linear underground development, with development rates showing progressive month-over-month improvement as crews, equipment, and operating procedures continue to be optimized. This progress represents an important milestone in mine access and infrastructure readiness in support of the planned restart. In parallel, the Company has accumulated approximately 2,500 tonnes of mineralized material in surface stockpiles. Grade information for this material will be reported in a subsequent press release, following completion of ongoing verification, sampling, and reconciliation procedures. The Company also reports that refurbishment activities at the processing plant are progressing according to schedule, with mechanical and electrical works advancing as planned. In addition, the rehabilitation of the tailings storage facility has been completed, constituting a key environmental and operational milestone supporting near-term production readiness. As part of its ongoing strategy to enhance resource confidence and support future mine planning, Silver Mountain is preparing to commence two separate drilling programs: At the Reliquias Mine, the Company plans to undertake an approximately 7,000-metre infill drilling program, focused on improving geological confidence within existing mine areas and supporting short- to medium-term production planning. At the nearby Caudalosa Mine, located in Huancavelica, Peru, the Company is planning a separate ~10,000-metre drilling program, targeting additional resource delineation and improved geological continuity.The Company continues to advance its restart activities with a focus on operational readiness, disciplined execution, and risk management, while progressing toward its objective of starting commercial production in Q3 2026. The Company further notes that it is advancing the Reliquias restart supported by a strong treasury position of in excess of US$32 million, providing a solid financial foundation to execute planned restart and drilling activities alongside disciplined operational execution.
