Mercado Minerals Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Concordia Silver

Vancouver, BC, September 29, 2025 – Mercado Minerals Ltd. (CSE: MERC) (“Mercado” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed and executed a definitive share purchase agreement

(the “Agreement”), dated September 26, 2025, to acquire (the “ Acquisition”) all of the outstanding

share capital of Concordia Silver Company S.A. DE C.V. (“Concordia”). The Acquisition includes two

silver - gold mineral properties held by Concordia, Copalito and Zamora, located in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Daniel Rodriguez, CEO and Director of Mercado, commented, “This is an important development for

Mercado, as we continue to expand our project portfolio. Our due diligence reviewing the assets in

Concordia leaves us to believe we have lots of exploration upside. I look forward to working with our

team in Mexico as we advance Copalito and Zamora.”

Under the terms of the Agreement, Mercado will acquire all of the outstanding share capital of Concordia

in consideration for a cash payment US$105,000 and the issuance of 6,000,000 common shares (the

“Consideration Shares”) to Concordia shareholders (collectively, the “Vendors”). Mercado will issue

a further 2,000,000 common shares to the Vendors on the first anniversary of closing the Acquisition

and a further 2,000,000 common shares to the Vendors on the second anniversary of closing the

Acquisition. The Considerations Shares will be subject to restrictions on resale following issuance from

which they will be release in four equal tranches every six months over a twenty-four month period.

The Company is at arms-length from Concordia and the Vendors. In connection with closing of the

Acquisition, a finders’ fee of 300,000 common shares is due and owing to an arm’s-length party who

introduced Concordia. No changes to the board or management of the Company are contemplated in

connection with the Acquisition. Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to completion of

customary closing deliverables. The Acquisition is not expected to constitute a fundamental change for

the Company nor will it result in a change of control of the Company (within the meaning of applicable

securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange).

For further information concerning the Acquisition, readers can review the news releases issued by the

Company on June 11, 2025, and July 28, 2025.
