Pinnacle Prepares for Underground Drill Program on High-Grade Gold-

Silver Targets at El Potrero

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Dec ember 15, 2025 (TSXV: PINN, OTC: PSGCF, Frankfurt:

P9J) – Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp. ("Pinnacle" or the “Company") is pleased to announce that its

geological team, led by Jorge Ortega, QP, has prepared an inaugural underground drilling program for

the high-grade El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico (Figure 1 below) . Systematic

underground channel sampling has been conducted since acquiring the project at the end of February

and comprises 773 samples in the three historic mine workings along 500 metres of the Dos de Mayo

epithermal vein system (Figure 2 below) . This work has identified several shoots of high- grade gold-

silver mineralization in the three mines (see Pinnacle news releases of June 2, July 22, September 9

and November 12, 2025 ), with individual grades up to 85.1 g/t Au and 520 g/t Ag. Several hundred

surface channel samples above the historic mines grading up to 37.4 g/t Au and up to 2,280 g/t Ag (see

Pinnacle news release of June 2, 2025) imply continuity of the mineralization to surface.

As the underground sampling was limited to the extent of the mine workings, detailed drilling is

necessary to determine the ultimate size, shape and grade of the mineralized zones. Consequently,

Pinnacle’s geological team has compiled the results and created 3D model s of the Dos de Mayo vein

and the exposed mineralization in the 3 mines (see Figure 3 below) in order to create a program of

systematic drilling whereby the vein structure will be tested every 12.5 metres along strike and

vertically. As the holes will be collared either in or immediately adjacent to the vein structure, holes will

be relatively short, in the range of 20- 25 metres in length. At present, it is anticipated that the entire

program will comprise approximately 2,600 metres in 112 holes and take about 6 weeks to complete.

“The underground drilling will be a significant step in the development of the Potrero Project ,” stated

Robert Archer, Pinnacle’s President & CEO . “It is not common that the first drill program on a new

project is underground. However, w e are fortunate to have good access to at least some of the

mineralization through the historic mine workings and this detailed program will essentially be

delineation drilling rather than exploration. With the results of this program, we will gain a very good

understanding of the principal mineralized zones such that we can begin putting together a preliminary

mine plan. Follow-on surface drilling can then test the areas between the mine workings in addition to

less developed veins like El Capulin and La Estrella that are being sampled for the first time.”

A certain amount of development work will be required in the historic workings to create enough room

for the drill setups and make sure that the drillers will have a safe working environment. This work will

begin early in the New Year and will take about one month to complete , with drilling to follow as soon

as possible.

QA/QC

The technical results contained in this news release have been reported in accordance with National

Instrument 43- 101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43 -101"). Pinnacle has

implemented industry standard practices for sample preparation, security and analysis given the stage

of the Project. This has included common industry QA/QC procedures to monitor the quality of the

assay database, including inserting certified reference material samples and blank samples into

sample batches on a predetermined frequency basis.

Systematic chip channel sampling was completed across exposed mineralized structures using a

hammer and m aul. The protocol for sample lengths established that they were not longer than two

metres or shorter than 0.3 metres . The veins tend to be steeply dipping to vertical, and so these

samples are reasonably close to representing the true widths of the structures. Samples were

collected along the structural strike or oblique to the main structural trend. Grab samples, by their

nature, are only considered as indicative of local mineralization and should not be considered as

representative.

All samples were bagged in pre- numbered plastic bags; each bag had a numbered tag inside and

were tied off with adhesive tape and then bulk bagged in rice bags in batches not to exceed 40 kg.

They were then numbered, and batch bags were tied off with plastic ties and delivered directly to the

SGS laboratory facility in Durango, Mexico for preparation and analysis. The lab is accredited to

250 - 750 West Pender Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2T7 - Tel. (604) 669 - 0868

TSXV: PINN OTCQB: PSGCF

ISO/IEC 17025:2017. All Samples were delivered in person by the contract geologist who conducted

the sampling under the supervision of the QP.

SGS sample preparation code G_PRP89 including weight determination, crushing, drying, splitting,

and pulverizing was used following industry best practices where all samples were crushed to 75%

less than 2 mm, riffle split off 250 g, pulverized split to > 85% passing 75 microns (μm). All samples

were analyzed for gold using code GA_FAA30V5 with a Fire Assay determination on 30g samples

with an Atomic Absorption Spectography finish. An ICP -OES analysis package (Inductively Coupled

Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry) including 33 elements and 4 -acid digestion was performed

(code GE_ICP40Q12) to determine Ag, Zn, Pb, Cu and other elements.

Mr. Jorge Ortega, P. Geo, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43 -101, and the

About the Potrero Property

El Potrero is located in the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico and lies within 35

kilometres of four operating mines, including the 4,000 tonnes per day (tpd) Ciénega Mine (Fresnillo),

the 1,000 tpd Tahuehueto Mine (Luca Mining) and the 250 tpd Topia Mine (Guanajuato Silver).

High-grade gold-silver mineralization occurs in a low sulphidation epithermal breccia vein system

hosted within andesites of the Lower Volcanic Series and has three historic mines along a 500 metre

strike length. T he property has been in private hands for almost 40 years and has never been

systematically explored by modern methods, leaving significant exploration potential.

A previously operational 100 tpd plant on site can be refurbished / rebuilt and historic underground

mine workings rehabilitated at relatively low cost in order to achieve near -term production once

permits are in place. The property is road accessible with a power line within three kilometres.

Pinnacle will earn an initial 50% interest immediately upon commencing production. The goal would

then be to generate sufficient cash flow with which to further develop the project and increase the

Company’s ownership to 100% subject to a 2% NSR. If successful, this approach would be less

dilutive for shareholders than relying on the equity markets to finance the growth of the Company.
