January 21, 2026

Toronto, Ontario, January 21, 2026 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to share that the company has newly recognized important critical minerals potential at its 100%-owned Plata project in the Yukon, including widespread high-grade antimony as well as copper and tungsten mineralization.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, “During the ongoing data review following the company’s recent fieldwork at Plata, we have recognized extensive high-grade antimony, copper, and tungsten mineralization within and around the Ajo Zone. The presence of these critical minerals, historically untested, compliments the known silver, gold, lead, and zinc mineralization, and underscores the outstanding mineral endowment at Plata, which continues to positively surprise us. I have said many times, and continue to believe, that because of its multiple types and locations of mineralization spread over vast distances, Plata is the property with the best exploration potential that I have seen in my 40-year career. We are excited to advance the Plata project this year as we prepare for Plata’s first drill program in nearly 15 years.”

Newly Recognized Critical Minerals at Plata

To date, the majority of known silver, gold, and base metal mineralization at Plata has been largely concentrated at the Ajo Zone, which represents a fairly consistent ~northwest-southeast trending tabular body (~1-6m wide) of high-grade silver-, gold-, lead-, and zinc-bearing quartz veining that is structurally hosted along the Plata Thrust Fault for approximately 1 km of currently known strike length. Other important silver mineralization near Ajo includes the Cebolla and Oliva Targets, historically referred to as the P2 and P6 targets, to the west and northwest, respectively. These target areas are understood to be controlled by late ~north-south trending structures and comprise wide (~5-20m) zones of massive sulfide mineralization containing high-grade silver, zinc, lead, and low-grade gold mineralization (Fig. 1). Although the focus at Plata will remain centered on expanding the silver and gold potential, recognizing the presence and added economic potential of antimony, copper, and tungsten is important given the increased demand for building domestic supply chains of these important critical minerals. This is the first time that Honey Badger Silver has documented the presence of high-grade antimony, tungsten, and copper mineralization at Plata, which were historically ignored by prior operators.

Figure 1. Map of the Plata Project showing antimony-in-rock values on surface across the Ajo Zone, Cebolla Target, and Oliva Target. Select grab samples and drill results are highlighted in text that show high-grade antimony, copper, and tungsten values in addition to high-grade silver, gold, lead, and zinc mineralization.

*Rock samples consist of material that has been classified as outcrop, subcrop, chip, and channel samples, as well as samples that are “undefined”. Samples classified as float have been excluded from the map.

*Drill intercepts from the Ajo Zone and Oliva Target are interpreted to represent close to true width, whereas drill holes from the Cebolla Target are understood to have intersected the mineralized lens at a steeper angle and a true width is potentially ~65% less than the apparent width.

Critical Minerals Potential

Antimony (Sb)

Antimony mineralization is widespread at Plata and is present in the Ajo Zone, as well as both the Cebolla and Oliva targets. High-grade antimony importantly occurs throughout the entire length of the Ajo Zone, where 62 out of 144 rock samples collected along or adjacent to the structure returned over 0.1% Sb, 17 samples returned over 1.0% Sb, and five samples returned above the overlimit detection value of 5.0% Sb (Fig.1). Antimony mineralization at Ajo is also positively reflected in historical drill results and shows a strong positive correlation to silver. Antimony highlights from select drill results at Ajo include 1.5m @ 1,790 g/t Ag, 0.12 g/t Au, 0.32% Cu, 0.27% Sb, and 7.45% Zn (PL-09-53), 1.21m @ 1,255.36 g/t Ag, 1.11 g/t Au, & 0.14% Sb (PL-08-016), and 0.59m @ 1,085 g/t Ag, 3.39 g/t Au, & 0.14% Sb (PL-08-018). High-grade antimony is also present at both the Cebolla and Oliva targets with rock sample grades up to 4.95% Sb at Cebolla and 4.72% Sb at Oliva. Drill core from the Cebolla and Oliva targets was not assayed for antimony along with select drill core from Ajo, however the widespread presence of antimony with silver mineralization on surface in these areas indicates it may also be present at depth.

Copper (Cu)

Copper mineralization is broadly distributed throughout the Ajo Zone, as well as the Cebolla and Oliva targets. Collectively between these three areas, 77 out of 288 rock samples returned over 0.1% Cu, and 12 samples returned over 0.5% Cu. The highest reported copper grade of 6.13% Cu is from a rock sample collected at the Cebolla target that also returned 40,764 g/t Ag (4.07%), 4.95% Sb, 0.15% W, 9.65% Pb, and 39.0% Zn. Copper highlights from select drill results at Ajo include 1.52m @ 0.57% Cu (PL-08-043), 1.5m @ 0.32% Cu(PL-08-53), and 2.78m @ 0.10% Cu (PL-08-018). Grades over 0.1% Cu are consistently found with high-grade silver and gold mineralization in other drilling from Ajo. Drill core from the Cebolla and Oliva targets was not assayed for copper along with select drill core from Ajo, however the presence of local high-grade occurrences and broad low-grade mineralization on surface suggests that copper mineralization may also be present in the historical drilling at these target areas.

Tungsten (W)

Tungsten mineralization at Plata is variable but importantly present in both rock samples on surface and in historic drill results. The highest tungsten value at Plata is from a rock sample collected in the central Ajo Zone that returned 1.59% WO3 along with 5,340 g/t Ag, 78.3 g/t Au, 5.7% Pb, and 2.24% Sb (Fig. 1). Tungsten mineralization can also be found at Cebolla, where a rock sample returned up to 0.19% WO3. The best-known drill intercept for tungsten is from drillhole PL-08-043 located at the eastern end of the Ajo Zone and returned 1.5m @ 1.32% WO3. Drill core from the Cebolla and Oliva targets along with select drill core from Ajo was not assayed for tungsten. Additional elevated values of tungsten up to 680 ppm WO3 can be found in conjunction with high-grade silver and gold mineralization in other drill holes at Ajo.

Summary of Findings and Next Steps

Although Plata is well known for its high-grade silver, gold, lead, and zinc mineralization, we are extremely pleased to show the added critical minerals value that this project also boasts with the presence of extensive antimony, copper, and tungsten. We are particularly impressed with the scale of high-grade antimony that is prevalent across the Ajo Zone and surrounding targets. This renewed understanding will continue to inform future work at Plata and the design of our anticipated drill program this coming summer, in addition to adding another important layer of economic optionality to the project.

Antimony and Critical Mineral Significance

Antimony is classified as a critical mineral in Canada and has a wide range of applications including the production of flame retardants, batteries, electronics, and renewable energy technologies. China currently controls approximately 80% of global antimony production, resulting in a tightly constrained global supply chain(1). China’s recent export controls on antimony further complicates this situation, leading to price volatility and supply chain disruptions, which impacts global markets including Canada. However, this challenge presents Canada with an opportunity to play a key role in diversifying supply chains and enhancing domestic production of this critical mineral. This opportunity is recognized and exemplified by Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy, which highlights the need for increased exploration, production, and recycling of antimony, amongst other critical minerals such as copper, tungsten, and zinc. Significant funding is being provided for these initiatives in order to establish Canada as a leading role in the global supply chain.

About Honey Badger Silver Inc.

Honey Badger Silver is a unique 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 at a grade of 262 g/t silver (and 201.3 million pounds of zinc at a grade of 6% zinc) Indicated and 13.9 Moz of silver at a grade of 169 g/t silver (and 247.8 million pounds of zinc at a grade of 4.4% zinc) Inferred(2) 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 an unclassified historic resource of 5.5 Moz of silver at a grade of 22 g/t silver and 1.3 billion pounds of zinc at a grade of 7.6% zinc(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(4). We own 10,000 ozs of silver yielding 12% per annum. In each instance, the reliability of the historical resource estimates (the “Historical Estimates“) are considered reasonable, but a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the foregoing Historical Estimates as current mineral resources, and the Company is not treating the estimates as current mineral resources. There is no technical report associated with the Historical Estimates. The Historical Estimate contains categories that are not consistent with current CIM definitions. The Company considers the Historical Estimates to be relevant for the proper understanding of its mineral properties, however, significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person for the Historical Estimates to be in accordance with NI 43-101 standards and to verify the Historical Estimates as current mineral resources. No more recent estimates of the mineral resources or other data are available to the Company. There can be no certainty, following further evaluation and/or exploration work, that the historical estimates can be upgraded or verified as mineral resources or mineral reserves in accordance with NI 43-101.

  • Sunrise Lake historic resource (2000-2003): Indicated 1.522 million tonnes grading 262 grams/tonne silver, 6.0% zinc, 2.4% lead, 0.08% copper, and 0.67 grams/tonne gold and Inferred 2.555 million tonnes grading 169 grams/tonne silver, 4.4% zinc, 1.9% lead, 0.07% copper, and 0.51 grams/tonne gold. The resource estimate for the Sunrise Deposit was carried out by Silver Standard Resources Inc. (SSR) using a classical polygonal method that relied on 72 diamond drillholes and an average density of 4 t/m3. Drill hole intercepts were taken directly from the drill logs (CBA 1998). Polygons were created within AutoCAD and AutoCAD calculated the areas. Horizontal widths were calculated using the ratio of core length to the width used by CBA in their 1998 estimate. Intercepts not used by CBA were measured on the cross sections. The intercepts were composited primarily using a geological cut-off based on the sulphide content and a nominal 30 g/t Ag grade. Internal values below 30 g/t were included for geological continuity if the composite remained above cut-off. Stringer mineralization was included where silver grades were above 30 g/t and occasionally lower if base metal grades were high. It is assumed the upper 100 m could be mined by open pit methods and the stringer mineralization would have to be removed to access the massive sulphides. The classification of the mineralization is based on the number of drill holes on a section and the continuity of the mineralization. The main massive sulphide horizon has been drilled on sections spaced 40 m apart, and above the -280 m elevation, the down dip continuity of the horizon has been tested with holes 25 to 30 m apart down dip. All mineralization in the massive sulphide horizon above 280 m is considered an Indicated Resource while the near surface stringer mineralization and the massive sulphides below 280 m are considered to be Inferred Resources. Forty holes define the massive sulphide Indicated Resource horizon. In a 2003 report to SSR, Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) concluded SSR’s resource estimate was reasonable based on approximating a NSR using typical smelter contracts, assuming metallurgical recoveries based on the limited metallurgical testing and on the following price assumptions: USD$ 5.50 per ounce silver, USD$ 400 per ounce gold, USD$ 0.45 per pound zinc, USD$ 0.25 per pound lead,  and USD$ 0.80 per pound copper, as well as a USD$ 75 transportation cost, and a CDN$ 1.45:USD$ 1.00 exchange rate.
  • Clear Lake historic Resource (2010): Inferred 7.76 million tonnes grading 22 grams/tonne silver, 7.6% zinc, and 1.08% lead. In 2010 SRK was engaged to complete a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Clear Lake deposit for Copper Ridge Explorations Inc. The estimate was made utilizing 1,842 assays from within the deposit, from a total of 13,168 m of drilling in 63 historical drill holes. An average density of 4.07 gm/cc was used, based on a limited number of field measurements that were confirmed in the laboratory, and with a minimum thickness of 2 m. Mineral resources were estimated by ordinary kriging in 12m by 12m by 9m blocks. The mineral resources are reported at a 4% (Pb+Zn) cut-off. Pb grades have been capped at 1.5% and Ag grades were capped at 60 g/t. Although SRK placed this resource in the inferred category due to uncertainties related to the historical nature of the available data, they noted that most of the resource has been drilled at a sufficiently close enough spacing to support indicated classification. The above information has been taken from a news release by Copper Ridge dated January 18th, 2010, as no technical report is publicly available.

December 1, 2025

Toronto, Ontario, December 1, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to share the results from the recent geophysical survey and prospecting work completed at it’s 100%-owned Nanisivik Project, Nunavut. Nanisivik is a former polymetallic-silver mine that produced over 20 Moz of silver between 1976 and 2002(3), when low metal prices forced the mine into closure. Since then, silver and zinc prices are up approximately 1,000% and 300% respectively, and infrastructure access has improved with the construction of a deep-water port only a few kilometers from the former mine site.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, “The recent surface exploration program completed at Nanisivik was a success: several large new zones with strong conductivity at the Area 14 and Oceanview targets were discovered. Some of these new zones may significantly extend the strike length of unmined mineralization at these targets while other new zones may represent completely new areas of mineralization. We are also very encouraged with assay results up to 249 g/t silver and 51.5% zinc collected from distal zones at the Area 14 target that coincide with underlying conductors from the Loupe EM survey. Nanisivik was a high-quality mining operation until 2002 when low commodity prices forced the mine to cease operations. We plan to drill these high-priority targets in 2026. We believe Nanisivik has substantial exploration potential.”

2025 Data Review and Target Prioritization

Earlier in the year, the Company announced three priority target areas that were identified during data review, each hosting significant zinc and silver intercepts from historical drilling (see press release dated March 25, 2025). The areas are Deb, Ocean View North, and Area 14. A review of historical exploration drilling at the former mine site identified several significant drill intersections located outside mined areas. These discoveries were not followed up in the past due to the previous operator’s tight focus on production. As a result, each of these represents a priority target for follow up work. A selection of significant silver and/or zinc mineralized intercepts from these priority target areas is provided in the Table 2 and the locations of the target areas are illustrated in Figure 1.

 2025 Exploration Program Summary

The recent exploration program at Nanisivik was primarily focused on utilizing ground geophysics (Loupe Time Domain Electromagnetics or “TDEM”) as a cost-effective and portable method to:

  1. Outline subsurface conductors under known unmined mineralization at the Oceanview and Area 14 target areas, and
  1. Find new conductors in untested areas that may represent extensions of known massive sulfide mineralization.

Reconnaissance sampling was also completed around the Area 14 target to identify new zones of mineralization.

 Results from the Loupe EM survey are very encouraging and have exceeded expectations for this program. The survey successfully identified conductors underlying unmined and partially mined mineralized areas at both Area 14 and across the broader Oceanview area. Importantly, the Loupe EM data shows several strong untested conductors at both Area 14 and Oceanview that are located between or adjacent to known zones of massive sulfide mineralization. These untested Loupe EM anomalies also coincide with historic airborne EM conductors, which further validates these areas as high-priority drill targets with potential for the discovery of new silver-lead-zinc massive sulfide mineralization (Figure 1).

Figure 1.

Map of the main Nanisivik block showing results from the recently completed Loupe EM surveys at the Oceanview and Area 14 targets as well as locations of rock samples collected during the work program. Strong untested conductors are highlighted in the dark blue dotted boxes. The locations of historical underground, open pit, or trenched silver-zinc-lead ore bodies are also shown on the map.

In addition to the success of the Loupe EM Survey, reconnaissance prospecting work has identified an area of potentially sub-cropping massive sulfide mineralization at Area 14 that has returned values up to 249 g/t silver and 51.5% zinc. In total, 21 grab samples were primarily collected from large angular boulders interpreted by the field geologist to potentially represent sub-crop from underlying or nearby bedrock. Due to partial snow cover at the time of sampling plus the historical disturbance related to reclamation after mine closure, it remains to be confirmed if each of these large angular boulders truly represent in-situ mineralization. These grab samples validate the high-grade nature of the mineralization seen in historic drilling at Area 14 and occur on top of a conductive body identified by the Loupe EM survey.

Overview of Priority Target Areas

Oceanview North Target

There are no indications of any mining having been completed at the Oceanview North target area, which is located approximately 1.7 km east northeast from the main Nanisivik orebody and some 400 m north of the historically mined main Oceanview zone (Figure 1). At the Oceanview North area, data from some 72 historical exploration drillholes was examined and a cluster of high-grade Ag-Zn intersections were identified at the northern extent of the drilling. Highlight silver (Ag) and zinc (Zn) intersections at the Ocean View North target area include hole 87-63, which intersected 5.3m of 97.6 g/t Ag and 22.79% Zn, and hole 90-28 which intersected 1.3m of 116 g/t Ag and 20.3% Zn.

 Area 14 Target

The Area 14 target is located approximately 1.8 km southeast of the main Nanisivik orebody (Figure 1). Historical data indicates that a portal was developed and some stope mining was carried out 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 high-grade 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.

Deb Target

The Deb target area is located approximately 3 km southwest of the main orebody at Nanisivik and is unmined. The Company has examined data from 15 drillholes completed in this area in the 1980’s and 1990’s. High-grade Ag-Zn intersections include; hole 90-51 which intersected 1.3m of 54.9 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.

QAQC

Loupe TDEM Survey

The Loupe TDEM survey was completed by APEX Geoscience between August 27 to September 3, 2025. At the Oceanview target, a total of 16.7-line kilometers was completed over 14 lines. Lines were N-S oriented and spaced 250m apart with 125m infill spacing on the west side of the grid. At Area 14, a total of 11.4 line-kilometers was completed over 13 lines. Lines were E-W oriented and spaced 100m apart. The survey had a 10m Tx-Rx coil separation and used a 450 Hz base frequency.

Loupe TDEM is a man-portable, rapid, and inexpensive system developed by Loupe Geophysics (www.loupegeophysics.com.au)  used to assess the conductivity of an area, particularly where there is significant outcrop and little to no weathering. The system is designed to measure electrical conductivity in the near-surface (generally between 20-50m depth) at high resolutions. The system provides x, y and z components of the EM field and is equipped with a real time RTK GPS system for accurate ground location.

Rock Samples

Sample preparation and multi-element analyses for rock samples were carried out at ALS Minerals’ laboratories in Vancouver, British Columbia. Each rock sample was dried and fine crushed to better than 70% passing 2 mm, and then a 250 g split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. The fine fraction was analyzed for 48 elements using four acid digestion (ME-MS61). For all samples, silver, lead and zinc were analyzed using an ore grade four acid digestion package with an inductively coupled plasma and atomic emission spectroscopy finish (Ag-OG63, Pb-OG62, Zn-OG62). Samples with zinc values over 30% and lead values over 20% were further analyzed using titration (Zn-VOL50 and Pb-VOL70). For all samples, an additional 30 g charge was further analyzed for gold by fire assay with inductively coupled plasma and atomic emission spectroscopy finish (Au-ICP21). At this early stage of mineral exploration, no Quality Control (QC) samples were inserted into the sample stream with the rock grab samples.

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 of 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.

About Honey Badger Silver Inc.

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 at a grade of 262 g/t silver (and 201.3 million pounds of zinc at a grade of 6% zinc) Indicated and 13.9 Moz of silver at a grade of 169 g/t silver (and 247.8 million pounds of zinc at a grade of 4.4% zinc) Inferred(2) 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 an unclassified historic resource of 5.5 Moz of silver at a grade of 22 g/t silver and 1.3 billion pounds of zinc at a grade of 7.6% zinc(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(4). In each instance, the reliability of the historical resource estimates (the “Historical Estimates“) are considered reasonable, but a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the foregoing Historical Estimates as current mineral resources, and the Company is not treating the estimates as current mineral resources. There is no technical report associated with the Historical Estimates. The Historical Estimate contains categories that are not consistent with current CIM definitions. The Company considers the Historical Estimates to be relevant for the proper understanding of its mineral properties, however, significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person for the Historical Estimates to be in accordance with NI 43-101 standards and to verify the Historical Estimates as current mineral resources. No more recent estimates of the mineral resources or other data are available to the Company. There can be no certainty, following further evaluation and/or exploration work, that the historical estimates can be upgraded or verified as mineral resources or mineral reserves in accordance with NI 43-101.

  1. Sunrise Lake historic resource (2000-2003): Indicated 1.522 million tonnes grading 262 grams/tonne silver, 6.0% zinc, 2.4% lead, 0.08% copper, and 0.67 grams/tonne gold and Inferred 2.555 million tonnes grading 169 grams/tonne silver, 4.4% zinc, 1.9% lead, 0.07% copper, and 0.51 grams/tonne gold. The resource estimate for the Sunrise Deposit was carried out by Silver Standard Resources Inc. (SSR) using a classical polygonal method that relied on 72 diamond drillholes and an average density of 4 t/m3. Drill hole intercepts were taken directly from the drill logs (CBA 1998). Polygons were created within AutoCAD and AutoCAD calculated the areas. Horizontal widths were calculated using the ratio of core length to the width used by CBA in their 1998 estimate. Intercepts not used by CBA were measured on the cross sections. The intercepts were composited primarily using a geological cut-off based on the sulphide content and a nominal 30 g/t Ag grade. Internal values below 30 g/t were included for geological continuity if the composite remained above cut-off. Stringer mineralization was included where silver grades were above 30 g/t and occasionally lower if base metal grades were high. It is assumed the upper 100 m could be mined by open pit methods and the stringer mineralization would have to be removed to access the massive sulphides. The classification of the mineralization is based on the number of drill holes on a section and the continuity of the mineralization. The main massive sulphide horizon has been drilled on sections spaced 40 m apart, and above the -280 m elevation, the down dip continuity of the horizon has been tested with holes 25 to 30 m apart down dip. All mineralization in the massive sulphide horizon above 280 m is considered an Indicated Resource while the near surface stringer mineralization and the massive sulphides below 280 m are considered to be Inferred Resources. Forty holes define the massive sulphide Indicated Resource horizon. In a 2003 report to SSR, Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (RPA) concluded SSR’s resource estimate was reasonable based on approximating a NSR using typical smelter contracts, assuming metallurgical recoveries based on the limited metallurgical testing and on the following price assumptions: USD$ 5.50 per ounce silver, USD$ 400 per ounce gold, USD$ 0.45 per pound zinc, USD$ 0.25 per pound lead,  and USD$ 0.80 per pound copper, as well as a USD$ 75 transportation cost, and a CDN$ 1.45:USD$ 1.00 exchange rate.
  2. Clear Lake historic Resource (2010): Inferred 7.76 million tonnes grading 22 grams/tonne silver, 7.6% zinc, and 1.08% lead. In 2010 SRK was engaged to complete a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Clear Lake deposit for Copper Ridge Explorations Inc. The estimate was made utilizing 1,842 assays from within the deposit, from a total of 13,168 m of drilling in 63 historical drill holes. An average density of 4.07 gm/cc was used, based on a limited number of field measurements that were confirmed in the laboratory, and with a minimum thickness of 2 m. Mineral resources were estimated by ordinary kriging in 12m by 12m by 9m blocks. The mineral resources are reported at a 4% (Pb+Zn) cut-off. Pb grades have been capped at 1.5% and Ag grades were capped at 60 g/t. Although SRK placed this resource in the inferred category due to uncertainties related to the historical nature of the available data, they noted that most of the resource has been drilled at a sufficiently close enough spacing to support indicated classification. The above information has been taken from a news release by Copper Ridge dated January 18th, 2010, as no technical report is publicly available.

November 19, 2025

Toronto, Ontario, November 19, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has identified two new silver-gold-lead-zinc zones from the recent soil sampling and prospecting program at its 100% owned Plata Project in the Yukon: the newly named “Pimento” located northwest of the high-grade silver- gold Ajo zone, and the “Inferno” zone located near the newly-staked claims.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented: “Plata has exceptional potential. I have never seen a property in my career with this many different types of mineral occurrences in such varied geologic settings in so many areas. We’ve identified a large geochemical anomaly over the Inferno Zone in conjunction with important field observations like the presence of copper sulfide-bearing sheeted quartz veins, altered felsic intrusions, and hornfels altered host rock, all of which suggest the potential for a large silver-gold system. Inferno is another high-priority follow-up area for the 2026 field season. Pimento is yet another new area of silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization located ~2.3 km northwest of the high-grade silver and gold-bearing Ajo zone. Plata is a truly exceptional property with tremendous mineral endowment that we are excited to get back to for additional fieldwork and expected drilling in 2026”.

Summary of 2025 Fieldwork

This past summer, Honey Badger completed a large fieldwork program focused on soil sampling and prospecting at Plata. The goal of the fieldwork program was to collect soil and supplementary grab samples over several target areas across the large property to identify new silver and gold zones. The program was successfully completed in late September and included a total of 1,027 soil samples and 115 rock samples. The program culminated in the discovery of several new silver-gold-lead-zinc zones including Canela (see press release dated Nov 13, 2025) and Pimento as well as the identification of significant geochemical anomalies over the Inferno zone area coinciding with sheeted quartz veining and hornfels alteration. Visual observations from the fieldwork combined with the identification of historic gold-in-soil anomalies also led to staking additional prospective ground in the Inferno zone area.

Figure 1. Regional map of the Plata Project showing the location of the Canela, Pimento, Inferno, and Ajo zones at Plata relative to other major gold and silver showings in the area. Note: The QP has not independently verified the Rogue Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) or drill results quoted in the image above. The Rogue MRE is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the property that is the subject of the disclosure.

Background on Inferno

The Company is pleased to share that soil sampling over the Inferno zone has returned a broad 2.3 km x 1 km antimony anomaly that includes local elevated silver and gold anomalies, hornfels alteration in host rock, and sheeted veining with copper sulfides (Fig. 2). Antimony is an important pathfinder element that is often associated with silver and gold deposits. The strongest part of the antimony anomaly coincides with a broad 1100 m x 400 m gold-in-soil anomaly that includes a ~450 x 200m core of elevated gold values, which range up to 74 ppb Au in the Inferno zone area (Fig. 2). The broad gold anomaly also coincides with elevated silver, tellurium, and bismuth values, which are also important pathfinder elements commonly associated with silver and gold deposits. There are also several soil samples with anomalous gold values that form a trend along or proximal to the Plata Thrust Fault. The Plata Thrust Fault is an important structure elsewhere at Plata and is host to the high-grade silver-gold-antimony Ajo zone (Fig. 3). The Inferno zone area will be a priority follow-up target for prospecting work in 2026. Honey Badger also completed additional staking to the south of the Inferno zone area this past summer (see press release dated October 16, 2025), securing highly prospective ground that borders on a significant 2 km long gold-in-soil anomaly (Fig. 3).

 

Figure 2. Map of the Inferno Zone area at the Plata Project showing antimony (Sb) values in both soil and rock samples. Results from the 2025 fieldwork have delineated a ~2.3 km x 1 km zone of moderate to strongly anomalous antimony values within soil and rock samples. During the field program, additional ground was staked to the south of the Inferno zone, which will be critical in for follow-up work to find the source of the broad geochemical anomaly, sheeted quartz veining, and host rock alteration.

Figure 3. Map of the Inferno Zone area at the Plata Project showing gold values in both soil and rock samples. Results from the 2025 fieldwork has delineated a ~450m x 200m zone of moderate gold-in-soil values within a broader 1200 x 400m gold anomaly. During the field program, additional ground was staked to the south of the Inferno zone, which will be critical in identifying the source of high gold-in-soil values of up to 0.12 g/t from 2023 soil sampling.

Background on Pimento

In addition to the newly discovered Canela Zone, the Company has also discovered another zone of silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization, newly named the Pimento zone. Pimento is located ~2.3 km to the northwest of the high-grade silver-gold-antimony Ajo zone and comprises newly collected rock samples spaced ~500 m apart that returned grades of up to 0.15 g/t gold, 44.3 g/t silver, 0.14% lead, and 0.39% zinc (Fig. 4). The rock samples include both subcrop and float which are interpreted to be locally sourced. This area has never had any documented work completed on it and represents a brand-new zone of mineralization on the property, with the closest historic sample being ~600m away. Follow-up prospecting work will be completed at Pimento in 2026, which will aim to uncover additional Ajo-style mineralization (Fig. 4).

Figure 4. Map of the newly discovered silver-gold-lead-zinc “Pimento Zone” at the Plata Project showing silver values in both soil and rock samples. The new mineralized rock samples are approximately 500m apart along a ridge top approximately 2.3km northwest of the high-grade silver and gold Ajo Zone., Tarea has been explored (closest historic sample is ~600m away).

Next Steps

The Company will continue to review the new assay data in conjunction with historical drilling, soil and grab samples as well as leverage geophysical and structural data over the winter to prepare for follow-up fieldwork and expected drilling in 2026.

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 ounces of silver from small-scale mining of high-grade veins that are exposed at surface (Carlson, G.G., 2010, “Technical Report Describing Exploration and Development at the Plata Project, located in the Mayo Mining District, East-Central Yukon”, report prepared for Platoro West Holdings Inc.).  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 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 might fit into a Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) like Snowline Gold’s Rogue and Valley deposits adds the potential for a large gold deposit in addition to the high-grade silver vein potential.

QAQC

Soil samples were collected using soil augers and placed into labeled kraft paper bags that were tied shut. Soil pits were dug as deep as possible to achieve collecting material from the lower B and early C soil horizons. Sample locations were collected using field tablets with built-in GPS.

Rock samples were collected using geotools and rock hammers to break up rock material, which was then placed by hand into labeled plastic poly bags that were tied shut. Samples were labeled as either outcrop, subcrop, or float. All sample locations were marked with flagging tape containing the sample ID, and sampled locations were collected using field tablets with built-in GPS.

Sample preparation and multi-element analyses for rock and soil samples were carried out at ALS Minerals’ laboratories in Whitehorse, Yukon and North Vancouver, BC, respectively.  Each rock sample was dried and fine crushed to better than 70% passing 2 mm, and then a 250 g split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns.  Soil samples were dried to 60C and sieved to <180 um. The fine fraction was analyzed for 35 elements using aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP41). For all samples, an additional 30 g charge was further analyzed for gold by fire assay with inductively coupled plasma and atomic emission spectroscopy finish (Au-ICP21).

November 13, 2025

Toronto, Ontario, November 13, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has identified a new gold and silver zone, newly named “Canela”, from the recent soil sampling and prospecting program at its 100% owned Plata Project in the Yukon.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented: “The Canela zone represents the first discovery from last summer’s exploration work at Plata. Our thesis that Plata has an exceptional mineral endowment has been further supported. Canela is a large mineral zone that shares similar characteristics to the nearby high-grade silver and gold Ajo zone. The currently known size and mineral values of the surface expression of the new Canela zone compares favorably with the early-stage surface expressions of what would become important mineral discoveries elsewhere in the Plata district. In particular, Canela appears to also be east-west trending and contains significant silver and gold values. The recent recognition of significant gold mineralization in the Ajo-Canela area is important since the Plata property is located adjacent to Snowline Gold’s (TSXV: SGD) Rogue property which is the site of a major gold discovery.”

Background on Canela

This past summer, Honey Badger completed a large fieldwork program focused on soil sampling and prospecting at Plata. The goal of the fieldwork was to collect soil and supplementary grab samples over several target areas across the large property to identify new silver and gold zones. The program was successfully completed in late September and included a total of 1,027 soil samples and 115 rock samples.

The Company is excited to share that the Canela Zone, a newly identified silver and gold anomaly, has been successfully identified from the first batch of assay results at Plata. The Canela Zone is approximately 1 km in currently identified strike length and is highlighted by soil samples with up to 38.6 g/t silver and 0.27 g/t gold. These are the highest gold-in-soil values at Plata to-date and some of the highest silver-in-soil values on the property. A single line of historical soil sampling had transected what is now called the Canela Zone, which returned some anomalous silver values; however, the samples were never analyzed for gold. This summer’s soil sampling has materially expanded the anomalous results to the north, east, and south, in addition to identifying the presence of gold mineralization. The Canela Zone appears to be roughly NW-SE trending, and parallel to the high-grade silver- and gold-bearing Ajo Zone located ~800 m to the northwest of Canela (Figures 1 and 2). Since Canela and Ajo both appear to be ~NW-SE trending and share geochemical similarities, it is possible that the Canela and Ajo zones are related. The Plata Thrust, which hosts the Ajo Zone, has been the focus of most historical exploration at Plata. The recent recognition of high-grade gold mineralization along the Plata Thrust presents a new opportunity to uncover additional high-grade gold and silver elsewhere on the property. The Canela Zone may extend to the northwest, where a cluster of historic soil samples along strike returned elevated silver values (not analyzed for gold) and a local float sample returned 5,890 g/t silver, 0.35 g/t gold, 0.17% copper, 8.6% lead, and 0.57% Zn (Fig. 1). The Canela Zone also remains open to the east and will be a high-priority follow-up target for the 2026 field season.

Figure 1. Map of the Plata Project showing the newly identified Canela Zone, which represents a ~1km x 450m wide ~ E-W trending area defined by strongly anomalous gold and silver values in soil samples. The Canela Zone is situated approximately 800m to the southeast of the high-grade gold- and silver-bearing Ajo Zone.

Note: The QP has not independently verified the Rogue Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) or drill results quoted in the image above.  The Rogue MRE is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the property that is the subject of the disclosure.

Next Steps

The Company plans to report the remaining results from the 2025 summer work program at Plata in the coming days once they are compiled, analyzed, and interpreted. The Company will continue to review the new assay data in conjunction with historical drilling, soil and grab samples as well as leverage geophysical and structural data over the winter to prepare for follow-up fieldwork and expected drilling in 2026.
