• Average processing plant head grade of 10.51 oz/t AgEq* in Q2
• Q2 processing plant metal recoveries of 87% for silver, 57% for gold, 76% for zinc and 86% for lead
• Production to expand in Q3 with newly completed access to parallel Cauca structure
• Advanced more than 700 meters of workings at Tangana, both in drifting and the Cauca crosscut

In Q2, the Recuperada processing plant continued ramping up to its designed capacity of 720 tonnes per day. For the second quarter 2022, the head grade averaged 10.51 oz/t AgEq*. The plant in Q2 had recoveries of 87% for silver, 57% for gold, 86% for lead and 76% for zinc.

Figure 1: Recuperada monthly processing figures for 2022. Q2 Silver equivalent ounces* were calculated using $1,872.99/oz Au, $22.64/oz Ag, $9,526.36/t Cu, $2,203.09/t Pb, $3,924.81/t Zn and does not consider metallurgical recoveries

The Company's recently updated mineral resource estimate, announced on June 2, 2022, includes 841,286 T at 118.49 g/T Ag, 2.85 % Pb/T and 2.16 % Zn/T which will feed the Recuperada plant over the coming quarters. Furthermore, appreciable gold values continue to be encountered and recovered within the Main Tangana structure.

In Q2, Silver X continued to develop the Tangana 1 vein with more than 700 meters of underground development, setting the operations to reach 150,000 oz AgEq* per month in Q3. Development in Q2 on the Tangana 1 vein has been on four sublevels. In June the sublevels on the Tangana 1 vein had width averages of approximately 2 m. Infrastructural work has focused on connecting by a 400 m crosscut the Tangana works with the parallel Cauca vein system to open additional mining faces. The Cauca vein has been mapped on surface over 1.77 kilometres of strike at an average width of 1.8 metres and was formerly an operating mine.

"We are pleased that our hardworking mining team has improved upon the production levels first reached last month", stated José M. Garcia, CEO of Silver X. "The new expanded mineral resource estimate and sustained economic production create a strong foundation for the Company to grow over the coming quarters. The newly completed access to the parallel Cauca structure has the potential to double the production rate as new mining faces are opened up."

Cautionary Note regarding Production without Mineral Reserves

The decision to commence production at the Nueva Recuperada Project and the Company's ongoing mining operations as referenced herein (the "Production Decision and Operations") are based on economic models prepared by the Company in conjunction with management's knowledge of the property and the existing estimate of inferred mineral resources on the property. The Production Decision and Operations are not based on a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with the Production Decision and Operations, in particular: the risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional construction or ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than expected; and production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with NI 43-101.
