(TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or the "Company")**is pleased to announce assay results from eleven (11) of the first twelve drillholes of its planned Phase One 10,000 metre drill program at its Cruz de Plata ("**CDP**") silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. **Highlights**: - Hole 25-ERRC-12returned one of the highest-grade intervals to date at Cruz de Plata: - **2,636 g/t Ag over 1.5 m**, within a wider interval of **1,400 g/t Ag over 4.6 m**, occurring within a broader zone of **370.2 g/t Ag over 19.8 m** - Hole 25-ERRC-12also expands the Jesús María zone 150 m to the east, along strike, and toward surface - New high-grade mineralized zone discovered north of Jesús María Target: - Hole 25-ERRC-08intersected **456 g/t Ag over****1.52 m **and**382.0 g/t Ag over 1.52 m**, both within a broader zone of **109.4 g/t Ag over****16.8 m** _**Additional Jesús María Drill Highlights**_**:** - Hole 25-ERRC-10intersected **502.0 g/t Ag over 1.52 m**within a broader zone of **316.3 g/t Ag over 3.0 m** - Hole 25-ERRC-09intersected **427 g/t Ag over 1.52 m**within a broader zone of **79.0 g/t Ag over 13.7 m** - An additional 30 RC drillholes have been completed with assay results pending **Alberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:** _"I am encouraged by the early success of our 2025 drill program at Cruz de Plata. The Company had two main objectives at the outset of this campaign: to extend existing mineralization and identify new high-grade mineralized zones, and I am pleased to report that we've already not only extended the Jes_ú_s Maria silver zone to the east but also uncovered a brand-new high-grade zone – all within the first twelve drillholes."_ Mr. Orozco concluded, _"I want to commend our exploration team for their efforts in achieving these objectives so rapidly. These robust results provide fresh evidence of the strength and scale of the project's high-grade silver system. With the Cruz de Plata property now fully consolidated, we have a larger, more prospective land package and a clear path to generating and testing new targets. I look forward to continuing to update the market on further developments."_ **2025 Drill Program Update** Capitan's planned Phase One 10,000 m drill program at the Cruz de Plata project has been steadily advancing since March 2025, with 6,700 m and 41 reverse-circulation ("**RC**") holes completed to date. The program has focused primarily on the Jesús María silver trend, especially the underexplored eastern portion where little historic work had been done. To rapidly and cost-effectively expand the strike at the main Jesús María vein and identify new high-grade mineralized zones along the silver trend, this initial phase consisted of shallow, closely spaced RC drilling. This approach has been successful in finding a new high-grade zone and extending mineralization to the east, within the first twelve holes of the program with **hole 25-ERRC-12 delivering one of the best high-grade intervals ever drilled at Cruz de Plata, also highlighting the untapped potential of the project.** In parallel, the Company is also drilling to test new targets to the north, east, and west of the Jesús María zone, where prospecting and high-grade surface sampling have identified additional vein systems with east-west to northeast orientations. As the geological understanding of the property evolves, the Company will refine the program to prioritize the most promising zones for follow-up drilling.
