# Kuya Silver Confirms High-Grade Silver-Gold Vein Mineralization at Umm-Hadid with Initial Drill Results up to 1483.9 g/t AgEq over 2 Metres *2025-12-22T07:30:00-05:00* Kuya Silver Confirms High-Grade Silver-Gold Vein Mineralization at Umm-Hadid with Initial Drill Results up to 1483.9 g/t AgEq over 2 Metres Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 22, 2025) - Kuya Silver Corporation (CSE: KUYA) (OTCQB: KUYAF) (FSE: 6MR1) (the "Company" or "Kuya Silver") is pleased to report exploration results from the Umm-Hadid Project in Saudi Arabia, including assay results from surface grab samples and the first phase of diamond drilling (approximately 5000 m). The Umm Hadid project is owned by Silver Mining LLC and is a joint venture between Sumou Holding and Kuya Silver. Results confirm the presence of high-grade silver-gold mineralization across multiple target areas spread over a large area (6 km x 2.5 km). **Drill Highlights:** - A total of 5001.58 metres drilled across 29 diamond drill holes (25-UH-001 to 25-UH-029) with an average depth of 177 m and a maximum depth of 351 m. - Drilling confirms high-grade silver-gold mineralization previously identified with grab samples in 3 target areas. - Highlighted Drill Intercepts: - Hole 25-UH-010; 2.0 m grading **1483.9 g/t AgEq (3.8 g/t Au and 1227 g/t Ag) from 52 to 54 m** - Hole 25-UH-011; 2.0 m grading **248.5 g/t AgEq (2.6 g/t Au and 108.1 g/t Ag) from 94 to 96 m** - Hole 25-UH-012; 1.0 m grading **632.5 g/t AgEq (0.9 g/t Au and 569 g/t Ag) from 95 to 96 m** - Hole 25-UH-014; 1.0 m grading **389.6 g/t AgEq (0.2 g/t Au and 376 g/t Ag) from 83 to 84 m** - Hole 25-UH-018; 2.0 m grading **718 g/t AgEq (3.0 g/t Au and 514.5 g/t Ag) from 87 to 89 m** **Surface Sample Highlights:** - A total of 460 grab samples taken across the property with an arithmetic average of 86.10 g/t AgEq* - Highest grade sample **1359.82 g/t AgEq* (1.60 g/t Au and 1250 g/t Ag)** - 167 samples grade >50 g/t AgEq*; 117 samples grade >0.5 g/t Au; 118 samples grade >50 g/t Ag - Strong correlation between Au and Ag in samples widely distributed within an area of 6 by 2.5 km suggest a large scale precious-metal rich hydrothermal system. - The spatial distribution of best sample assays defines 3 targets of major interest Osbaldo Zamora, Kuya Silver's Vice President Exploration, commented: "The success of our maiden 5,000-meter drilling program at Umm Hadid is a significant milestone for the Umm Hadid Project. By integrating hyperspectral remote sensing and AI-driven targeting, we have successfully identified and intercepted high-grade mineralization in several multi-kilometre structural corridors within the large 240 km2license area. Achieving these results—highlighted by silver grades of up to **1,275 g/t**and gold grades up to **10.53 g/t**—in our very first pass of drilling suggests a strong cost-benefit to our modern technological approach to exploration. We have not only discovered a core consisting of higher-grade precious metals veins but have also validated a predictive model that we believe can be applied across the entire district, significantly reducing risk and maximizing capital efficiency as we move to expand this discovery." **Exploration Program Overview** Surface mapping and sampling (460 samples), ground geophysics, and satellite imagery analysis was conducted across the entire property by the technical team and consultants as part of the 2025 ongoing exploration program at Umm Hadid. Based on this work, several different areas across the property were selected and tested with a 5,000 m diamond drill program resulting in 3 targets of major interest (Figure 1).
