Toronto, Ontario, June 12, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”)is pleased to announce that it will be begin exploration work at Plata on or about June 17, 2025.  The upcoming program will focus on new targets discussed in a news release dated April 16, 2025 (“Honey Badger’s Work Outlines New High-Grade and Rogue-Like targets at the Plata Project”).

The Company’sExecutive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented,

“We are excited to launch our 2025 exploration program at Plata, which is located immediately west of Snowline Gold’s world-class Rogue gold discovery. We believe that we can extend the strike length of the high-grade Aho Zone, where historical drilling intersected an impressive 2,827 g/t Ag, 3.65 g/t Au, 2.21% Pb, and 6.17% Zn over 1.6 meters, through targeted prospecting to the east. This field season, we will rigorously test this high-priority target, alongside the Northwest Target and a magnetic low anomaly that shows high potential for a ‘Snowline-style’ gold system. Backed by a $50,000 Yukon government grant, Honey Badger is poised to prove up Plata’s potential as a premier high-grade silver and gold project, paving the way for another transformative discovery in the Yukon’s Tombstone Gold Belt.”

Mineralization and Targets at Plata

Plata is located in east-central Yukon within the Tombstone Gold Belt and is a past producing high-grade silver property that produced about 290,000 ounces of silver (Ag) from small-scale mining of high-grade veins that are exposed at surface.  Ore was mined and flown by fixed wing aircraft to Idaho for processing.  Historical exploration at Plata has primarily focused on the outcropping high-grade silver veins.  These are analogous to the rich Keno Hill Silver District in the Yukon, one of the highest-grade silver deposits in the world, now operated by Hecla Mining.  While the analogy to Keno Hill remains valid, the Company has continued to develop its understanding of Plata as part of a larger “Snowline-style” mineralized system.  Understanding how Plata might fit into a Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) like Snowline Gold’s Valley deposit adds the potential for a large gold deposit in addition to the high-grade silver vein potential.

Three targets will be the focus of the upcoming field program (see Figures 1 and 2, below):

  1. Potential Snowline-style RIRGS and/or high-grade mineralization in the “Northwest Target”.
  2. Potential extension of the high-grade Aho Zone to the east; potential unrecognized mineralization along the Plata and Rogue thrust faults.
  3. Potential for RIRGS mineralization in newly staked claims over the magnetic low anomaly in the southern part of Plata.

Figure 2 – Proposed Work Program, Northwest Target and Aho Area

Northwest Target

This target is in the northwestern part of the Plata property, 8 kilometres southwest of Snowline Gold’s Cujo target, which has returned significant drill intercepts up to 0.11 g/t Au over 407.4 m (Fig. 1). Importantly, major faults that occur at the Cujo Showing have been interpreted to continue into the Northwest Target at Plata.Additionally, the stream draining this area yielded highly anomalous Ag (silver), Pb (lead), Zn (zinc), As (arsenic), and Sb (antimony) stream sediment values during historic sampling carried out by the Yukon Geological Survey.  Samples were not analyzed for Au (gold) during that program.  The upcoming exploration program will comprise:

  • Geologic mapping, prospecting, and geochemical sampling focused on the Ag-Au vein and RIRGS Au potential in the area.
  • Follow-up of anomalous silver-in-soil geochemical anomalies in the eastern part of this target area. These anomalies coincide with a regional structure and may be a target similar to the Plata and Rogue thrusts.
  • All samples will be analyzed for Au and Ag as well as pathfinder elements that can be associated with RIRGS mineralization, including Sb, As, Te (tellurium), and Bi (bismuth).

Aho Area

This is in the central-eastern part of the Plata project.  High-grade silver and gold mineralization occurs throughout the Aho zone, which has produced drill results up to 2,827 g/t Ag, 3.65 g/t Au, 2.21% Pb, and 6.17% Zn over 1.6 m, and returned high-grade grab samples up to 78.6 g/t Au (Figs. 1 & 2).  The potential extension of the Aho Zone to the east has never been examined in detail.  The upcoming program will comprise:

  • Geologic mapping and prospecting of the eastern extension of the Plata thrust to determine whether high-grade silver mineralization of the Aho zone extends to the east.
  • Detailed prospecting and mapping of the Rogue thrust. Mineral occurrences P6 and P17 (see map) lie along the Rogue thrust and sheeted veins were discovered parallel to the Rogue thrust during the Company’s 2023 exploration program, indicating the potential for RIRGS mineralization along the structure, including east of the Aho zone.
  • Prospecting and mapping will follow up historical (1970s) anomalous silver-in-soil values 1 kilometre southwest of the Plata thrust.

Magnetic Low

The Company’s most recent claims at Plata were staked in 2024 to cover a magnetic low anomaly postulated to represent a shallow intrusion (Fig. 1).  This is a potential host to “Snowline-type” RIRGS mineralization.  The upcoming program will prospect in the area looking for exposures of the intrusive and take reconnaissance soil samples to see if there are indications of shallow mineralization.

Yukon Minerals Exploration Program Agreement

The Company has been awarded a grant from the government of the Yukon Territory to help fund the upcoming exploration program at Plata, under the Yukon Minerals Exploration Program (“YMEP”).  Honey Badger will be eligible to receive up to $50,000 from the Yukon Government under YMEP as reimbursement for up to 50% of incurred exploration costs implementing this program.

June 4, 2025

White Rock, British Columbia, June 4, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”)is pleased to provide an update on its 100%-owned Clear Lake Project in the Whitehorse Mining District of Yukon Territory.

The Company has completed a detailed review of geological, geochemical, and geophysical data on the property.  This has resulted in the identification of several new target areas and the conclusion that there is a significant opportunity to vastly grow the historical silver-rich zinc deposit resource at Clear Lake.

Chad Williams, the Company’s Executive Chairman, commented, “This is an excellent example of how Honey Badger adds value in a very rapid and cost-effective way, to a project that we purchased inexpensively prior to the recent runup in the silver price. Clear Lake has seen extensive work and spending in the past by other companies. The best way to create value for shareholders is to rapidly and economically increase the net-asset-value of a previously discovered – but under appreciated mineral deposit. In fact, we have seven of these types of projects in our portfolio already! Clear Lake has tremendous potential beyond its historic resource of 5.5 million ounces of silver and over 1.3 billion pounds of zinc.  The historic resource remains open both along strike and down dip.  In addition, our data review has identified three additional high-quality, drill-ready target areas near the defined historic resource, each of which has the potential to be at least another Clear Lake-size deposit.”

The three priority targets are based on geophysical data:

  • Target 1: An EM (Electromagnetic) anomaly with a geophysical signature very similar to that of Clear Lake. Interpretation of the data indicates a possible massive sulphide body at a depth of about 150 metres.
  • Target 2: A second EM anomaly on strike with Clear Lake mineralization and adjacent to an outcrop of zinc-rich gossan (iron oxides that result from the weathering of massive sulphides).
  • Target 3: A coincident gravity and EM anomaly interpreted as possibly representing a flat-lying massive sulphide body at a depth of about 300 metres.

Mineralization and Targets

The Clear Lake deposit is a sedimentary-exhalative massive sulphide (“Sedex”) deposit hosted by carbonaceous argillite, siltstone, cherts and tuffs of the Devono-Mississippian Earn Group (Fig. 1).

Drilling at the Clear Lake deposit has produced exceptional results such as 14.1% Zn, 2.24% Pb, and 36.4 g/t Ag over 29 m as well as 20.9% Zn, 8.3% Pb, and 101 g/t Ag over 6.3 m*. The Clear Lake deposit hosts a historic NI 43-101 Inferred Resource prepared by SRK in 2010 (1), containing 7.76Mt @ 22 g/t silver, 7.6% zinc and 1.08% lead (Table 1).

Table 1: Summary of Clear Lake Historical Inferred Resource Estimate, SRK Technical Report, 2010(1)

The resource was estimated using a 4% lead plus zinc cut-off and 2-metre minimum thickness as a reasonable cut-off, without reference to specific metal prices.

*Drill intercepts are reported as drilled and do not necessarily represent true thicknesses.

Figure 1. Geology map of the Clear Lake Property with the deposit outline and targets shown.

A detailed review of geophysical and geochemical data from the Clear Lake Project has delineated three new exploration targets on the property. This is largely based on a large 235 km VTEM (helicopter-borne EM and magnetics) survey that was completed over the property and adjoining ground to the east and south. Significantly, the Clear Lake deposit produced a distinct VTEM signature. VTEM signatures similar to the Clear Lake deposit were identified elsewhere on the property and were subsequently followed up with 11.1 km of gravity and IP (Induced Polarization) surveys. A review of the gravity and IP data in the context of the initial VTEM survey has resulted in three high-priority targets:

VTEM Target 1 – Highest priority target area. Initial interpretation of the VTEM anomaly suggested a possible flat-lying conductor at a depth of 150 m that could represent a massive sulfide body similar to Clear Lake. Subsequent work has showed a strong correlation between the VTEM conductor, gravity anomaly and both chargeability and resistivity responses. The broad gravity anomaly is coincident with a VTEM imaged conductor located on the flank of a strong chargeability response to the southwest. The similarities to the Clear Lake geophysical signature make this a highly compelling target.

VTEM Target 2 – Occurs along strike with the Clear Lake stratigraphy and is adjacent to a zinc-rich gossan along the bank of the Pelly River. Barite and pyrite have also been observed along fractures in Askin Formation dolomite to the south of the conductor. In an overburden drill soil geochemical line west of the conductor, two samples returned 410 and 450 ppm Zn while three samples returned Ag values from 0.9 to 1.8 ppm. In a separate auger soil survey, four samples returned values between 348 ppm to 5,370 ppm Zn. Significantly, a coincident gravity and chargeability anomaly flank a conductor detected by both the resistivity and VTEM surveys.

VTEM Target 3 – Data interpretation suggests a well-defined gravity anomaly centred over the strongest portion of the VTEM conductor and potentially represents a flat-lying massive sulphide deposit at a depth of about 300 m. In addition, a strong chargeability anomaly with a coincident resistivity low outside of the gravity feature could represent a buried intrusive with disseminated mineralization.

Future exploration work at the Clear Lake Project will be focused on the VTEM target areas outlined above. Geochemical sampling has been successful in delineating zinc mineralization at the Clear Lake deposit. Additional geochemical sampling over the new target areas will be assessed as a method to define drill targets. Significantly, the Clear Lake property benefits from a Class 3 Land Use Approval, which is valid until 2029 and allows for up to 31,500 m of diamond drilling and 2000 m of reverse circulation drilling.

April 16, 2025

White Rock, British Columbia, April 16, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”)is pleased to provide an update on its 100%-owned Plata project, located adjacent to Snowline Gold Corp’s (“Snowline”) major discovery at its Rogue project in the Yukon Territory. The Company has been prioritizing targets to plan the next phase of work on the project.

The Company’sExecutive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, “We have always been excited by the high-grade silver occurrences at Plata and the similarities to the local prolific Keno Hill district. The fact that silver grades at surface were so high as to allow for direct transport of ore by airplane to Idaho for treatment speaks for itself! The additional component of strong indications of a potential large gold system similar to Snowline’s Rogue discovery, which is located adjacent to Plata, potentially with a significant silver component, adds to our excitement. We will continue compiling data in preparation of a highly focused field program with the objective of advancing Plata toward one or more discoveries.

About Plata

Plata is located in east-central Yukon within the Tombstone Gold Belt and is a past producing high-grade silver property that produced about 290,000 oz Ag from small-scale, high-grade mining at surface (Carlson, 2010). Ore was mined and flown by fixed wing aircraft to Idaho for processing. Historical exploration work at Plata has primarily focused on the high-grade silver veins at surface.  These are analogous to the rich Keno Hill Silver Mine in the Yukon, one of the highest-grade silver deposits in the world, now operated by Hecla Mining. While the analogy to Keno Hill remains valid, the Company has continued to develop its understanding of Plata as part of a larger “Snowline-style” mineralized system. Understanding how Plata may fit into a Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) adds the potential for a large gold deposit in addition to the high-grade silver and lead potential.

New targets have been identified:

  • Potential extension of high-grade Aho zone to the east.
  • Potential unrecognized mineralization along the Plata and Rogue thrust faults. The Rogue Thrust is a newly named structure north of the Plata Thrust.
  • Potential for RIRGS mineralization in newly staked claims over a magnetic low anomaly.

Mineralization and Targets at Plata

To date, exploration has identified four types of mineralization at Plata (Table 1). The most well understood of these are Type I and Type II mineralization. Type I mineralization consists of high-grade silver veins hosted in northeast-trending faults. The most significant occurrences of Type I mineralization occur as veins up to tens of metres wide that can be traced for up to 100 metres. Mineralization consists of heavily disseminated to massive galena, tetrahedrite and sphalerite. Type II mineralization is characterized by high-grade gold and silver veins that form within parallel structures along the Plata Thrust Fault. Mineralization comprises bands of arsenopyrite, pyrite, galena, boulangerite, tetrahedrite and sphalerite. Type II mineralization comprises the P3 and P4 showings, which are collectively known as the Aho Zone (Fig. 1).

The recognition and continued understanding of the Aho Zone in the context of a larger RIRGS has become increasingly important to the Plata project. The structures that play a role in the distribution of intrusions and associated mineralization at Snowline’s Rogue project also occur at Plata, which strongly suggests that the mineralization at Plata is closely tied to a larger RIRGS in the region (Figures 1 and 2). The Aho Zone has been traced along the Plata Thrust Fault for over 800 metres strike length, and downdip to a depth of 580 metres, with drill results such as 711 g/t silver and 6.17% zinc over 1.52m (Table 1). No rock samples have been collected to the east of the Aho showing despite elevated topography that appears conducive for outcrop exposure. The current extent of detailed mapping on the property also suggests that over 1 km of the Plata Thrust remains completely unexplored towards the eastern claim boundary (Figure 1). This is an important observation and presents a significant opportunity to find additional Aho-style mineralization along the underexplored Plata Thrust Fault. This has been identified as a top priority target for follow up exploration at Plata. Future fieldwork will also revisit the area to the northwest of the Aho Zone in order to identify additional Aho-style mineralization along the Plata and/or Rogue Thrust Faults that may have been previously overlooked. Sheeted quartz veining within a felsic dyke (Vein Type IV) was recognized for the first time at Plata in this area in 2023, which further supports the interpretation that there may be a buried, mineralized intrusion at Plata analogous to RIRGS mineralization identified on Snowline’s Rogue project.

The Company increased its land position at Plata in 2024 by adding 1,338 hectares to the project area over a magnetic low geophysical signature in the southern portion of the property (Fig. 2). Diagnostic features of reduced intrusions in the Tombstone Gold Belt are magnetic and conductivity low geophysical signatures that may be enveloped by a magnetic high due to the presence of pyrrhotite in the hornfelsed aureoles of the intrusion. This newly acquired ground shares an important structure that transects Snowline’s Cynthia project, which comprises a 2×2 km zone of alteration, veining, and elevated gold geochemistry between two Tombstone suite intrusions (Figure 2). This newly acquired ground at Plata is a high priority exploration target and will be the subject of a reconnaissance field mapping and sampling program to evaluate the significance of the geophysical anomaly and any associated alteration and mineralization. Significantly, this area can be easily accessed by the main road that connects the north part of the property to the Plata airstrip located to the south.

March 25, 2025

White Rock, British Columbia, March 25, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) announces an update on its 100%-owned Nanisivik project, located on Baffin Island, Nunavut. The Nanisivik mine produced over 20 million ounces of silver between 1976 and 2002(3). Over 100 million tonnes of massive sulphide (principally pyrite) (3), were left unmined when the mine closed to depressed zinc and silver prices. Since Nanisivik’s closure in 2002, silver and zinc prices are up over 600% and 200% respectively. In addition, since the mine’s closure, a deep-water port has been constructed within only kilometres of Nanisivik, as a result of renewed interest from the governments of both Canada and the United States in developing the Arctic.

The company is continuing a comprehensive review of historical exploration and development data from the Nanisivik Project. To date, three priority targets have been identified, including the Deb, Ocean View North, and Area 14. A review of historical exploration drilling at the former mine site identified a number of significant drill intersections located outside mined areas. These discoveries were not followed up at the time due tothe focus on production. Thus, each of these represents a priority target, and has the potential with step-out drilling to be the basis of a new economic resource. A selection of significant silver and/or zinc mineralized intercepts from these priority target areas is provided in the table below and the locations of drillholes with significant intersections are illustrated in the figures below.

Honey Badger’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “The identification of these targets further reinforces our belief that Nanisivik has great potential to host significant unmined silver-zinc resources within the over 100 million tonnes of massive sulphide that occur on the property. Indeed, mine reports indicate that approximately 5 million tonnes of zinc-silver mineralization were left unmined in the main workings due to low metals prices at the time. We are particularly encouraged to uncover high-grade, shallow intersections from within just 20 metres of surface in unmined target areas, such as the Ocean View North Target, where historic drilling returned 97.6 g/t Ag and 22.8% Zn over 5.3 metres. Nanisivik was profitable at the much lower silver and zinc prices of 1976-2002. One can imagine how profitable it would be today with much higher commodity prices and better infrastructure access, particularly the construction of a deep-water port within only kilometres of the deposit, completed since the mine was shut down.There also remains the potential for significant germanium and gallium mineralization, which was not evaluated by previous operators. It is worth noting that Fireweed Metals Corp. recently attracted up to $34.5 million in funding for critical metals development at its Macmillan Pass deposit from the Canadian and U.S governments (Fireweed Metals Corp. news release dated December 13, 2024). Nanisivik and Macmillan Pass share some aspects of geologic setting and contain a similar mix of metals. In addition, the massive pyrite body itself is a potentially economic resource as an industrial source of sulphuric acid. The construction of a deep-water port within only kilometres of the deposit makes this huge deposit of massive pyrite potentially economic in itself, in light of the foreseen global shortage of sulphuric acid. The Company will be commissioning a desk study to evaluate this possibility. There remains a great deal of available data that the Company is working its way through. Some of this may be appropriate for more advanced evaluation techniques, including AI tools. The Company will continue to issue updates on the results of these investigations.

Deb Target

The Deb target area is located approximately 3 km southwest of the main orebody at Nanisivik. The Company has examined data from 15 drillholes completed in this area in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Significant silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) intersections include; hole 90-51 which intersected 1.3m of 54.9 grams of silver per tonne (g/t Ag) and 5.74% Zn, hole 90-59 which intersected 0.7m of 263 g/t Ag and 34.6% Zn, and hole 91-19 which intersected 0.6m of 290 g/t Ag and 43.0% Zn.

Ocean View North Target

Similar to the Deb target (above), there are no indications of any mining having been completed at the Ocean View North target area, which is located approximately 1.7km east northeast from the main Nanisivik orebody and some 400m north of the historically mined main Ocean View zone (see Figure below). At the Ocean View North area, data from some 72 historical exploration drillholes was examined and a cluster of significant Ag-Zn intersections were identified at the northern extent of the drilling. Significant silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) intersections at the Ocean View North target area include hole 87-63 intersected 5.3m of 97.6 g/t Ag and 22.79% Zn, hole 90-28 which intersected 1.3m of 116 g/t Ag and 20.3% Zn.

Area 14

The Area 14 target is located approximately ~1.8km southeast of the main Nanisivik orebody (see Figure below). Historical data indicates that a small stope was previously mined at Area 14.  However, Honey Badger has examined the data from a cluster of 27 historical drillholes located immediately east and northeast of the historically mined area where a number of significant Ag-Zn intersections have been identified, including; hole A14_85-08 which intersected 2.3m of 280.0 g/t Ag and 27.43% Zn, hole A14_85-10 which intersected 2.3m of 239.3 g/t Ag and 6.10% Zn, and hole 86-191 which intersected 3.0m of 143.3 g/t Ag and 26.16% Zn.

Massive Pyrite

The massive pyrite bodies, within which the mined mineralization and the new target areas occur, comprise over 100 million tonnes of massive sulphide, in addition to the almost 18 million tonnes that were mined between 1976 and 2002. They occur as linear, lenticular bodies of massive sulphide, at least 9 of which outcrop at surface. The map below shows the locations of the massive pyrite bodies.

Nanisivik Property

The Company has recently increased the size of its mineral tenure around the past producing Nanisivik Mine on Baffin Island, Nunavut, which now comprises a total of 14 mineral claims covering some 13,373.2 hectares (ha). The Company’s original Nanisivik Property comprised 4 claims totaling 5,722.8 ha that cover the former mine site. The company has staked an additional 10 claims totaling 7650.4 ha at and around the Nanisivik area. These claims cover geophysical anomalies identified during the Company’s review of the historic data base (see news release dated September 16, 2024). The new claims comprise a further 3 claims that have added 1174.2 ha to the original Nanisivik claim block, 2 claims (1710.4 ha) covering the Chris Creek target located approximately 19 km southeast of Nanisivik, and further 5 claims (4765.8 ha) covering historical geophysical anomalies (conductors) in and around the Adams Sound and Adams River target areas approximately 40 km and 55 km, respectively, southeast of Nanisivik.

About Nanisivik

The Nanisivik Mine (near Arctic Bay, Nunavut) produced over 20 million ounces of silver between 1976 and 2002, from 17.9 million tons of ore, grading 9% zinc, 0.72% lead, and 35 grams per tonne silver (3). In addition to the polymetallic orebody, previous exploration identified massive sulphide bodies (principally pyrite) still in place, totaling about 100 million tonnes (3), containing locally anomalous base metal and silver values.

February 24, 2025

White Rock, British Columbia, February 24, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that based on geological and geophysical criteria, six (6) high priority exploration targets have been identified, comprising two (2) high priority conductors (R-6 and R-9), and 11 lower priority conductors located on the current Raptor claim block (see Figure 1) and an additional four (4) high priority conductors (M-1, M-2, M-3 and M-6) and 10 lower priority conductors located on the current main Yava claim (and lease) block (see Figure 2).   These targets have not yet been drill-tested.

Conductor M-3, located 1.25km northwest of the Yava Main Zone, has a 500m strike length and is associated at surface with mineralization in outcrop where a grab sample assay in 2007, returned values of 1.2 ppm gold (Au), 4,960 ppm silver (Ag), 3.5% lead (Pb) and 1.5% zinc (Zn)* (see Figure 3).

Another sample, collected in 2004, located 650 m north of the M-3 target/conductor, comprised sulphide-rich mineralization that was later named the Yava North Zone and returned analytical values of 0.17 ppm Au and 3,452 ppm Ag* (see Figure 3). Geological evidence suggests that the silver-rich sulphide mineralization at the M-3 and Yava North zones represent part of a significant volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) footwall stringer zone that appears to be a northwestern projection of the Yava Main Zone mineralized horizon.  This second mineralized system on the main Yava claim/lease block, along with the remainder of the strike extent of the Yava Main Zone mineralized horizon, represents an additional priority for future exploration at the property.

The identification of these targets enhances the discovery potential of the Yava Project, where the Company tripled its land position by staking claims over favorable ground shortly after acquiring the property in October 2024.

The Company’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “The identification of these targets confirms our belief that Yava has tremendous discovery potential above and beyond the currently identified historical resource.  The project’s location only 45 kilometres from Glencore’s Hackett River project, one of the largest undeveloped silver resources in the world (113 million ounces Indicated plus 232 million ounces Inferred) and on the same belt of volcanic rocks, testifies to the favorable geology and discovery potential of Yava.  We are continuing data review and planning a field program to field check these new targets and continue advancing Yava toward a new discovery.

Honey Badger Silver is a silver company. The company is led by a highly experienced leadership team with a track record of value creation backed by a skilled technical team. Our projects are located in areas with a long history of mining, including the Sunrise Lake project with a historic resource of 12.8 Moz of silver (and 201.3 million pounds of zinc) Indicated and 13.9 Moz of silver (and 247.8 million pounds of zinc) Inferred (1)(3) located in the Northwest Territories and the Plata high grade silver project located 165 km east of Yukon’s prolific Keno Hill and adjacent to Snowline Gold’s Rogue discovery. The Company’s Clear Lake Project in the Yukon Territory has a historic resource of 5.5 Moz of silver and 1.3 billion pounds of zinc (2)(3). The Company also has a significant land holding at the Nanisivik Mine Area located in Nunavut, Canada that produced over 20 Moz of silver between 1976 and 2002 (2,3). A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the foregoing historical resources as current mineral resources and the Company is not treating the estimates as current mineral resources. The historical resource estimates are provided solely for the purpose as an indication of the volume of mineralization that could be present. Additional work, including verification drilling / sampling, will be required to verify any of the historical estimates as a current mineral resources.

February 13, 2025

White Rock, British Columbia, February 13, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that based on geological and geophysical criteria, six (6) high priority exploration targets have been identified, comprising two (2) high priority conductors (R-6 and R-9), and 11 lower priority conductors located on the current Raptor claim block (see Figure 1) and an additional four (4) high priority conductors (M-1, M-2, M-3 and M-6) and 10 lower priority conductors located on the current main Yava claim (and lease) block (see Figure 2).   These targets have not yet been drill-tested.

Conductor M-3, located 1.25km northwest of the Yava Main Zone, has a 500m strike length and is associated at surface with mineralization in outcrop where a grab sample assay in 2007, returned values of 1.2 ppm gold (Au), 4,960 ppm silver (Ag), 3.5% lead (Pb) and 1.5% zinc (Zn)* (see Figure 3).

Another sample, collected in 2004, located 650 m north of the M-3 target/conductor, comprised sulphide-rich mineralization that was later named the Yava North Zone and returned analytical values of 0.17 ppm Au and 3,452 ppm Ag* (see Figure 3). Geological evidence suggests that the silver-rich sulphide mineralization at the M-3 and Yava North zones represent part of a significant volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) footwall stringer zone that appears to be a northwestern projection of the Yava Main Zone mineralized horizon.  This second mineralized system on the main Yava claim/lease block, along with the remainder of the strike extent of the Yava Main Zone mineralized horizon, represents an additional priority for future exploration at the property.

The identification of these targets enhances the discovery potential of the Yava Project, where the Company tripled its land position by staking claims over favorable ground shortly after acquiring the property in October 2024.

The Company’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “The identification of these targets confirms our belief that Yava has tremendous discovery potential above and beyond the currently identified historical resource.  The project’s location only 45 kilometres from Glencore’s Hackett River project, one of the largest undeveloped silver resources in the world (113 million ounces Indicated plus 232 million ounces Inferred) and on the same belt of volcanic rocks, testifies to the favorable geology and discovery potential of Yava.  We are continuing data review and planning a field program to field check these new targets and continue advancing Yava toward a new discovery.
