October 16, 2025

Toronto, Ontario, October 16, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has staked yet another 1,546 ha of ground at its 100%-owned Plata project. This represents an 18% increase in the total claim package size. The Plata claim package was expanded earlier in 2025.

We are still awaiting assays from summer exploration work. Nevertheless, based on observations from that recent field program plus a thorough review of historical work on the original Plata claims, adding claims was deemed to be a high priority for the Company.

The new claims were staked to strategically buttress two geologically promising target areas that have important gold anomalies. High-grade gold in grab samples over 900m along the Plata Thrust were identified in work programs carried out by predecessor companies.  This potentially high-grade gold trend remains open in both directions.  The data review also identified a large, underexplored gold in soil anomaly which remains open in three directions.  The Plata Thrust has historically been the focus of exploration for high-grade silver.  The recognition of high-grade gold mineralization along the Plata Thrust makes it a significant gold target as well (figure 1).  With this new understanding, the underexplored and parallel Rogue Thrust represents a potential analog to the Plata Thrust and will also be a focus for future exploration.

Figure 1.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, “Honey Badger continues to identify new and exciting target areas at Plata.  This project has exceptional potential. We are particularly encouraged by the continuity of high-grade historical grab samples along the Plata Thrust which returned up to 78.3 g/t Au in outcrop as well as the potential for the Rogue Thrust to be an analog to the Plata Thrust. Additionally, a second zone of gold in soil has been identified and been traced for over 3 km and remains open in three directions. Of note, the Plata property is located adjacent to Snowline Gold’s (TSXV: SGD) Rogue property, which contains 7.94M oz Au (M&I) at a grade of 1.21 g/t Au and 0.89M oz Au (Inferred) at a grade of 0.62 g/t Au (see SGD news release dated May 15, 2025).”

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

Next Steps:

Assays for numerous rock samples and soil samples collected earlier in the 2025 field season are expected imminently. Results of these assays will significantly aid in our new interpretation of Plata as comprising multiple gold-silver rich systems and are expected to generate drill targets before year-end.

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 (Ag) 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.

Scottsdale, Arizona & Toronto, Ontario, October 14, 2025 | Honey Badger Silver Inc. (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: TUF; OTCQB: HBEIF), a Canadian silver-focused company, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Monetary Metals & Co., (“Monetary Metals”), the pioneer of gold and silver-denominated fixed-income investments.

This partnership represents a key advancement of Honey Badger’s strategy to build a multi-dimensional silver investment vehicle, following the Company’s creation of its 100%-owned subsidiary, Honey Badger Silver Royalty Inc. (“HBSR”), in November 2024.

Under the new partnership, Honey Badger will deploy silver earned from its future royalty and streaming portfolio into Monetary Metals’ silver lease and bond programs, earning additional yield in physical silver. This innovative approach enables Honey Badger to compound its silver exposure – own silver, earn silver, and reinvest it – while supporting the broader silver supply chain through productive deployment of metal.

“This partnership is the next logical step in executing our long-term vision,’ said Chad Williams, Executive Chairman & Interim CEO of Honey Badger. “In 2024, we launched Honey Badger Silver Royalty to highlight the inherent royalty value within our portfolio. Our collaboration with Monetary Metals builds on that foundation—transforming future silver income into a compounding source of additional silver yield. We believe this combination of value-adding activities on our existing 7 silver mineral deposits, royalty exposure, and physical silver income makes Honey Badger a truly unique vehicle for silver investors.”

Keith Weiner, Founder & CEO of Monetary Metals, added: “Our collaboration with Honey Badger is a one-two punch. They earn silver through royalties and streams. In the conventional approach, this silver is a dead asset. We make it productive and generate an income, in silver. Together, we are strengthening the precious metals ecosystem and eliminating the need to immediately sell metal.”

Through this partnership, Honey Badger becomes an active participant in Monetary Metals’ gold and silver yield marketplace, positioning the Company at the forefront of innovation in the silver royalty and streaming space.

About Honey Badger Silver Inc.

Honey Badger is a Canadian silver company with multiple projects in Northern Canada, including the Plata and Clear Lake silver projects in Yukon, the Sunrise Lake project in the Northwest Territories, and significant landholdings in the historic Nanisivik mine area in Nunavut. In addition to its project portfolio, Honey Badger is developing a growing pipeline of royalties, streaming agreements, and strategic silver investments. The Company is focused on building a portfolio that transforms silver revenue into long-term, income-generating assets.

September 2, 2025

Toronto, Ontario, September 2, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing exploration work at its 100%-owned Nanisivik Project in Nunavut.  The team has completed orientation geophysical surveys on two of three high-priority targets and has already identified a new occurrence of massive zinc-lead sulphide mineralization exposed at surface.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, “Nanisivik was a quality mining operation until 2002 when low commodity prices forced the mine to cease operations even though 4 years of reserves remained. This project continues to demonstrate great potential not only for critical minerals (zinc and possibly germanium and gallium) but also for silver which was produced in sizeable quantities when the mine was in operation.  Our current field program is designed to refine the geological characteristics of known unmined mineralization found in several zones with the objective of generating a new economic resource.  We are also excited by the discovery of a new distal zone of massive zinc-lead sulphide mineralization sub-cropping at surface at Area 14 and eagerly await assays to determine how much silver and other metals it contains.  The Nanisivik work is adding to the excitement of our recent exploration work at our 100%-owned Plata project in the Yukon Territory.  This has been an exciting summer for the Honey Badger exploration team.”

Exploration Program

In a news release dated March 25, 2025 (“Honey Badger Silver Identifies Unmined Silver Mineralization at Nanisivik”), the Company announced three priority target areas that were identified during data review, each hosting significant zinc and silver intercepts from historic drilling.

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 at the time due to the 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.

Work to date has comprised ground geophysics (Loupe Electromagnetics or EM) to map the extent of subsurface sulphides, reconnaissance prospecting and mapping to identify new zones of mineralization, and sampling of known massive sulphide outcrops to identify occurrences of zinc, silver, and possible germanium and gallium.  The objective of the work is to identify drill targets to expand the unmined mineralization and test newly discovered mineralization.

Geophysics grids have been completed on Ocean View and Area 14.  While the geophysical data is still being interpreted, initial assessments are that the Loupe EM has been successful in identifying discrete conductors representing sulphides.

The reconnaissance prospecting and mapping has identified an area of sub-cropping massive sphalerite and galena (zinc and lead sulphide, respectively) in Area 14.  In the mined Nanisivik orebody, sphalerite-galena mineralization was associated with silver.  This mineralization has so far been mapped over an area of about 300 metres by 30 metres, but its full extent has not yet been delineated.  Ongoing mapping will define the surface extent of this mineralized zone and complete sampling.

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.

New Claims

In October 2024, the Company increased the size of its mineral tenure around the Nanisivik Mine (see news release dated October 21, 2024 Honey Badger Silver Grows Nanisivik Project”) by staking 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, Honey Badger Silver Identifies Multiple Promising Silver Zones at Nanisivik). 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 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.

This news release presents results obtained since the Company’s news release of a few weeks ago (July 30, 2025: “Honey Badger Discovers Promising Sheeted Veins in Multiple Zones over 18km at Plata, Yukon”) and highlights the discovery of even more ‘sheeted vein’ zones.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, “Honey Badger has discovered numerous auspicious geologic targets that absolutely merit follow up work. Plata is shaping up to be a game-changer for Honey Badger. We continue to identify many new promising geologic targets, especially on our new claims. We are particularly excited by the recognition of additional ‘sheeted vein’ zones that may indicate the presence of reduced intrusion-related gold (RIRG) systems, similar to those found at the directly adjacent Rogue project, owned by Snowline Gold (TSXV: SGD), containing 7.94M oz Au (M&I) and 0.89M oz Au (Inferred) (see SGD news release dated May 15, 2025).”

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

Summary

  • Extended the Sheeted Vein Zone at Northwest Plata: Honey Badger has uncovered additional ‘sheeted vein’ systems, which increases the total area prospective for RIRG mineralization to ~4 x 5 km within the newly staked claim blocks, with significant potential to discover more (Fig. 1). Central to the sheeted vein systems are interpreted Mayo Suite felsic intrusions found over a 2.3 x 0.67 km area. Importantly, the team has successfully identified the western extent of the Rogue Thrust Fault in this area, a key geological boundary known to host mineralization in the region.
  • Aho Zone Materially Expanded: The central claims host the high-grade, past-producing Aho silver zone. The team has uncovered an 810 x 230 m zone of quartz veining and sulfide mineralization overlapping high-grade silver geochemical anomalies (Fig. 1). Two additional zones with similar geology have also been identified near key geological structures, including the Plata and Rogue Thrust Faults.
  • Geophysical Low at South Plata: Quartz veining and felsic intrusive float have been discovered at South Plata over a magnetic low geophysical anomaly. No known work has ever been completed here (Fig. 1).

Next Steps:

Assays for 102 rock samples and 568 soil samples are expected in the coming weeks. Results of these assays, coupled with further fieldwork, is expected to help guide drilling before year-end.

Geological Discussion

Key results of the recent exploration fieldwork completed at Plata since the press release of a few weeks ago (July 30th, 2025) include:

  1. Northwest Plata (newly staked ground)

Identification of potential Mayo-suite felsic intrusions and presence of hornfels alteration, sulfide mineralization, and quartz veining (locally sheeted) observed for over 2.7 km in strike length towards the southern claim margin (Figures 1, 2 and 3). The presence of potential Mayo-suite intrusive rock is important because of their close association with gold and silver mineralization in the region. Hornfels alteration is significant because it indicates that the host rock has been altered due to proximity to an intrusion.

  1. Several occurrences of felsic plutonic rock interpreted to represent Mayo Suite Intrusions were identified in both outcrop and float over a 2.3 x 0.67 km area in the newly staked ground in the northwest of the property towards the southern claim boundary. Samples of the felsic intrusive rock are noted as granodiorite to quartz porphyry and range from fresh-looking to intensely sericite and clay altered with occasional fine-grained pyrite observed (Fig. 2).
  2. Extensive quartz veining (locally sheeted and stockwork) with associated silicification, hornfels alteration, oxidation and sulfide mineralization has been observed within interbedded mudstones, shales, chert and lesser sandstone over a 2.7 x 2 km zone that overlaps with the mapped felsic intrusive units (Figures 2 and 3).
  3. Field observations in this area describe several outcrops with densely sheeted quartz veins and local stockwork textures, as well as rare chalcopyrite and malachite mineralization. Many of the field observations also highlight the presence of disseminated to stringer pyrite associated with the presence of the oxidized quartz veining (Figures 2 and 3).
  1. Mapped the western extension of the Rogue Thrust Fault

Mapping was continued of the interpreted Rogue Thrust Fault that separates the Mt. Christie Formation and the Earn Group.  This fault represents an important structural boundary and potential mineralizing fluid pathway in this area.

Figure 2: (A) Sericite altered granodiorite interpreted to represent Mayo Suite Intrusive rock; (B) Large outcrop of densely sheeted quartz veining with blebby chalcopyrite (<0.5%) mineralization. Veining occurs perpendicular to bedding in massive black chert of the Earn Group proximal to the mapped granodiorite intrusions in the newly staked ground in the NW of the property. Hammer (24 inches) for scale.

  1. East Central Plata (Aho Zone)

Discovered several new zones comprising hornfels altered and silicified host rock with associated quartz veining and sulfide mineralization to the east and southeast of the Aho Zone.

  1. The largest zone is an ~810 x 230 m area that partially overlaps with a historic 1000 x 300 m Ag soil anomaly with silver in soil up to 50 g/t Ag (Assessment Report 091705, by A. Harman, 1976). This zone includes silicified and hornfels altered mudstones, siltstones and chert with quartz veining, disseminated and stringer pyrite, as well as local galena and sphalerite stringers and blebs.
  2. Another zone beginning ~900 m to the east of the Aho zone in proximity to the Plata Thrust Fault extends for approximately 1.1 km towards the eastern claim boundary and comprises a series of limestone, shale, and sandstone outcrops hosting extensive sheeted and stockwork quartz-calcite veining with associated oxidation (Fig. 3).
  3. Yet another zone comprising several outcrops hosting oxidized sheeted and stockwork quartz veining was observed to the northeast of the Aho Zone in proximity to the Rogue Thrust Fault.
  1. Mapped eastern extensions of the Plata and Rogue Thrust Faults

Extended both the Plata and Rogue Thrust Faults to the East of the Aho Zone, which is an ~800 m long zone of semi-continuous high-grade silver, gold, zinc and lead mineralization present along the Plata Thrust Fault.

Figure 3: (A) Oxidized quartz veining hosted in hornfels altered siltstone of the Mt. Christie Formation collected adjacent to the mapped felsic intrusive units in the NW of the property; (B) Strong recrystallization of originally black chert interpreted to represent hornfels alteration due to proximity to mapped intrusive units in the NW of the property; (C) Quartz veining with associated strong oxidation and fine-grained (galena?) sulfide veinlets hosted in a chert outcrop SE of the Aho Zone.

Major Takeaways of the Completed Summer Field Work Program:

  • A total of 102 rock samples and 569 soil samples were taken during this initial program. Assays are pending.
  • Confirmed the presence of felsic plutonic rocks interpreted to be Mayo Suite Intrusions occurring throughout the newly staked ground in the northwest of the property (Fig. 1).
  • Newly discovered extensive sheeted quartz veins with associated oxidation and sulfide mineralization throughout all traversed areas in the recently staked ground in the northwest of the property that defines a new highly prospective area for potential RIRG mineralization at least 5 x 4 km in size (Fig. 1).
  • Discovery of local quartz veining and felsic intrusive float within newly staked ground in 2024 over a magnetic low geophysical anomaly in the south end of the property (Fig. 1).
  • Identified several new zones comprising hornfels altered and silicified host rock with associated oxidized quartz veining and sulfide mineralization to the east and southeast of the Aho Zone (Fig. 1).
  • Mapped extensions of the mineralized Plata and Rogue Thrust Faults to the West and East.

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 (Ag) 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.

July 30, 2025

Toronto, Ontario, July 30, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing work program at its 100%-owned Plata project in the Yukon.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, “We have discovered multiple different occurrences at surface of sheeted quartz veins in areas extending from the southern end of our property to its northwestern end some 18 km apart.  These may indicate the presence of reduced intrusion-related systems. These systems, if they contain gold, are associated with some of the largest gold deposits in the world. Snowline Gold’s (TSXV: SGD) Rogue project is such a deposit and contains 7.94 million ounces of gold Measured and Indicated at a grade of 1.21 g/t Au and an additional 0.89 million ounces of gold Inferred at a grade of 0.62 g/t Au (see SGD news release dated May 15, 2025). As can be seen in Figure 1, Plata is located adjacent to Snowline’s land position. Please refer to the fresh pictures attached to this release, which can also be found on the website www.honeybadgersilver.com. They are very compelling. Assays from these new zones are pending.

Current Work Program

The current program is focused on geologic mapping and sampling of new targets as discussed in a news release dated June 12, 2025 (“Honey Badger’s Work Outlines New High-Grade and Rogue-Like targets at the Plata Project”) as well as on evaluating the exciting new targets overlain by the new claims staked by the Company (see news release dated July 21, 2025, “Honey Badger Expands Land Position at Plata by 26% Based on Newly Defined Targets”.

We have collected 369 soil and 66 rock samples (as of July 28).  In addition to the sheeted veins described in more detail below, significant findings include both mafic and felsic intrusive rocks in outcrop, showing varying degrees of alteration, and “Zinc Oxide Creek”, a creek whose bed has been coated by white to pink zinc oxide.  The zinc oxide is presumed to have been sourced from nearby zinc mineralization.

Sheeted Veins

The team at Plata has so far located sheeted veins in 3 locations as shown on the map below.

Figure 1: Plata property, showing the newly staked claim outline (red) and notable field observations from the 2025 program.

Notes:

1. The Cujo intercept is from a Snowline Gold (TSXV: SGD) News Release dated November 9, 2023.  The QP has been unable to verify the information.

  1. The Cujo intercept is not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may be present at the Plata project.

Sheeted veins along the southern aspects of “Morgan Ridge” are hosted within beige / tan medium to coarse grained quartz-rich sandstone.  Additional sheeted veins occurrences have been mapped within massive chert units further to the north (photo 25CFPT028).

At Morgan Ridge, sheeted veins are composed of primarily comb and vuggy textured bright white quartz. Veins vary in width from 1cm to 5 cm and have an average density of 3 parallel veins per meter (see 25JGPT024 photo below). The observed orientation of veining is typically perpendicular to bedding in the host sandstone unit which has a NW-SE strike, giving the veins a roughly NE trend.

The width of the most concentrated vein system at Morgan Ridge is outlined in the map figure with a continuation of 1200 meters along the slopes and a vertical of 500 meters. This extent is open to the south, downslope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 2: 25JGPT024 (left) shows sheeted quartz veining ranging from 2cm to 5cm in width with a density of 3 veins per meter hosted in medium grained quartz rich sandstone at Morgan Ridge – Hammer handle (bottom) in 18 inches long. 25CFPT028 (right) shows quartz veining, both sheeted and sinuous hosted by massively bedded dark grey chert.

In addition, a boulder of sandstone with a 4 cm wide quartz vein and multiple 3 mm sheeted quartz veins was mapped and sampled in the southern part of the property (Figure 1), in the area staked due to a geophysical anomaly (magnetic low).  This sandstone also contained fine-grained pyrite in its matrix.  Though not found in outcrop, the boulder was jagged-edged and is interpreted to be near-source.

July 21, 2025

Toronto, Ontario, July 21, 2025 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF | OTCQB: HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”)is pleased to announce that it has added a significant number of new claims to its 100%-owned Plata project in the Yukon.

The Company’s Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, “We are very excited to have expanded the claim package at Plata to cover the multiple new geologic targets identified by our team.  These targets are fertile potential discovery ground for 1) high-grade silver vein mineralization and 2) for “Snowline-style” intrusive-related silver-gold mineralization.

The current program is focused on geologic mapping and sampling of new targets as discussed in a news release dated June 12, 2025 (“Honey Badger’s Work Outlines New High-Grade and Rogue-Like targets at the Plata Project”) as well as on evaluating the new targets overlain by the new claims.

New Targets and Claims

Ninety-five (95) claims covering 1985.50 hectares were recently staked.  The map below shows the location of the new claims. The Plata property now comprises 465 claims covering a total area of 9,718.50 hectares.  The new claims represent a 25.7% increase in the size of the property.

The rationale behind staking these claims is:

  • The main controlling structure for Plata mineralization appears to be northwest trending. The new claims will cover any potential extensions of targets in the northwest part of Plata, as discussed in the June 12, 2025, news release.
  • There is a historical mineral showing called Keg (see map below) along strike to the northwest of the prior Plata claim boundary. Previous work at the Keg has disclosed high-grade grab samples ranging up to 223 g/t Ag, 3 g/t Au, 3.95% Zn, 2.19% Pb, and 0.42% Cu.  The new claims cover the Keg occurrence.
  • The new claims also cover two northwest trending Mayo suite intrusions which represent potential “Snowline-style” Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) targets.Approximately 50% of the Mayo Suite intrusions in the region have gold mineralization.  Among other examples, they host the Valley, Fort Knox, and Eagle Gold deposits.
  • The two Mayo Suite intrusions on the new ground are located next to a very high government silt anomaly.   The anomalies are above the 99.9 percentile threshold in silver (Ag), and above the 90 percentilethreshold in gold (Au), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), and tellurium (Te).  Arsenic, antimony, and tellurium are commonly associated with RIRGS mineralization.

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 (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 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.
