Dolly Varden Silver Intersects 14.50 g/t Gold over 21.18 Meters, Including 113 g/t Gold and 997 g/t Silver over 0.68 Meters at Homestake Silver DepositVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 4, 2025) - Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSXV: DV) (NYSE American: DVS) (FSE: DVQ) (the "Company" or "Dolly Varden") is pleased to report results from drilling that expands the high-grade gold mineralized plunge within the Homestake Silver deposit. Drill hole HR25-475 is a step-out 42 meters to the north and on the upper edge of the shallowly northerly plunging, high grade trend. The intercept grades 14.50 g/t Au and 75 g/t Ag over 21.18 meters, including 113 g/t Au and 997 g/t Ag over 0.68 meters and 121 g/t Au and 279 g/t Ag over 0.63 meters. The high-grade mineralization in HR25-475 is hosted within a broader mineralized zone grading 7.01 g/t Au and 35 g/t Ag over 48.38 meters. Homestake Silver Deposit step-out:HR25-475: 14.50 g/t Au and 75 g/t Ag over 21.60 meters, including 113 g/t Au and 997 g/t Ag over 0.68 meters and 121 g/t Au and 279 g/t Ag over 0.63 meters within a total mineralized envelope grading 7.01 g/t Au and 35 g/t Ag over 48.38 meters. * Intervals shown are core length. Estimated true widths vary depending on intersection angles and range from 65% to 75% of core lengths, further modelling of the new intersections is needed before true widths can be estimated."The expansion of the wide, high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the Homestake Silver Deposit continues to demonstrate the continuity and robustness of the potentially bulk underground minable zone. We will continue to release results from the 2025 program as they are received." said Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of Dolly Varden."Drill hole HR25-475 is in 42 meters step-out to the north from HR24-448 (February 3, 2025 release) along plunge of the main gold and silver zone at the Homestake Silver deposit. The high-grade core of the Homestake Silver Deposit has been traced for over 300 meters vertically and extends for over 1,000 meters along plunge. The intercept occurs at the upper edge of the high-grade trend.Figure 1. Longitudinal Section of the Homestake Silver Deposit with mineralization envelope in red.

Au and Ag mineralization occurs in multi-phase vein and vein breccias with pyrite, galena, sphalerite and visible gold.

The Company is using directional drilling technology to precisely target areas for step-out and infill holes at Homestake Silver. Drill hole HR25-475 was drilled as a single hole utilizing directional drilling to precisely intercept the target within the mineralized zone. The Homestake Ridge Deposits are interpreted as structurally controlled, multi-phase epithermal vein stockwork and vein breccia system hosted in Jurassic Hazelton volcanic rocks. Mineralization consists of pyrite, +/- galena and sphalerite, with visible gold in a silica breccia matrix. The northwest trending structural corridor hosts multiple subparallel structures that control high-grade gold and silver shoots within a broader mineralized enveloper. Although historically considered a silver-rich gold deposit, recent drilling at Homestake Silver has define a shallow north plunging dilation zone that is defined by a wide mineralized interval with increased frequency of high-grade gold veins and vein breccias which shows a shift towards a gold-rich system towards the north. The deposit remains open along plunge and at depth.Figure 3.
