Advance Metals Expands Portfolio with Guadalupe y Calvo Acquisition

Major Acquisition Expands Mexican Silver Portfolio

The Guadalupe y Calvo acquisition significantly enhances AVM's precious metals exposure with a Foreign Estimate of 816,000 ounces of gold equivalent (AuEq) at 2.7g/t Au, which translates to 60.6 million ounces of silver equivalent (AgEq). Notably, the project includes a high-grade underground component of 494,000 ounces AuEq at 5.0g/t Au.

The project is strategically located in Mexico's Sierra Madre Volcanic Belt, a premier precious metals region, and sits midway between AVM's existing Yoquivo Project in Chihuahua and Gavilanes Project in Durango. This geographical advantage allows the company to leverage its existing Mexican team, infrastructure, and expertise across all three assets.

"Reaching the 100Moz silver equivalent milestone positions AVM as a substantial player in Mexico's silver sector, which produces over 25% of global silver supply. The Advance Metals Guadalupe y Calvo acquisition provides us not only with significant additional silver resources but also substantial high-grade gold exposure at a time when both metals are experiencing strong market conditions." – Dr. Adam McKinnon, Managing Director and CEO of Advance Metals

Historic Production with Modern Exploration Potential

The Guadalupe y Calvo Project comes with an impressive historical production record, estimated at over 2 million ounces of gold and 31 million ounces of silver, with mining dating back to at least 1835. Modern exploration has been extensive, with 86,000 meters of resource definition and exploration drilling completed by previous operators.

The project's Foreign Estimate encompasses two main veins:

• The Rosario vein: Extends over 700-800 meters of strike with widths up to 60 meters
• The Nankin vein: Intersects with Rosario at depth, creating a broad zone of enhanced mineralization

Both structures remain open along strike and at depth, presenting significant exploration upside.

Favorable Transaction Structure

AVM has negotiated a four-year earn-in structure with a total consideration of US$4.0 million, including:

• US$1.5 million in cash payments
• US$1.5 million in AVM shares
• US$1.0 million in exploration expenditure

The structure is majority back-ended, with the largest payments occurring in Year 4, allowing AVM to systematically develop the project's value before major capital outlays. Upon completion of all earn-in requirements, AVM will own 100% of the project and grant Endeavour a 2% Net Smelter Return royalty.

Building a Substantial Mexican Silver Portfolio

With the addition of Guadalupe y Calvo, AVM's portfolio now includes three significant Mexican silver projects:

Multiple Value Creation Catalysts

AVM has outlined a clear pathway to create value from the Guadalupe y Calvo Project:

Near Term (12 months):

• Field evaluation and target confirmation leveraging existing data
• Validation drilling program of historic intersections
• Surface exploration across key vein trends

Medium Term (1 to 3 years):

• Resource conversion from Foreign Estimate to JORC-compliant status
• Resource expansion through step-out drilling
• Economic studies on high-grade underground component
• Regional consolidation opportunities

Investment Opportunity in a Strong Precious Metals Market

This acquisition comes at an opportune time with silver prices recently surging to over US$36 per ounce in 2025. Mexico continues to dominate global silver production, accounting for 25.2% of worldwide supply.

For investors, AVM now offers exposure to both silver and gold in a proven geological setting with established resources that reduce execution risk. The company's experienced management team, with proven Mexican operational expertise, has established a regional platform for further growth and consolidation in one of the world's premier precious metals regions.

As exploration activities progress across all three Mexican projects, investors can expect a steady flow of news in the coming months, including initial results from the ongoing drilling program at Yoquivo and the commencement of field evaluation at Guadalupe y Calvo.

Understanding Silver Equivalent Resources

Silver equivalent (AgEq) is a standardized way to express the combined value of different metals in terms of silver. For the Guadalupe y Calvo Project, the gold equivalent was derived based on leaching test work conducted by previous owners, using a gold-to-silver ratio of 73.91:1 with assumed recovery rates of 95% for both metals.

This reporting method allows investors to understand the total metal value across different projects with varying compositions of precious and base metals. AVM's 100 million ounce AgEq milestone represents a substantial resource base that positions the company as a significant player in the Mexican silver sector.
