FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 24, 2025

(AAG2025 – NR #15)

Aftermath Silver Completes Final Payment for the

Berenguela Silver-Copper-Manganese Project

Vancouver, BC, November 24, 2025. Aftermath Silver Ltd. (the “Company” or “Aftermath Silver”)

(TSX-V: AAG) (OTCQX: AAGFF) (FSE:FLM1) is pleased to announce that it has completed the

final payment to complete the acquisition of the Berenguela silver -copper-manganese

project(“Berengula”) ahead of the November 2026 due date.

In return for early payment, EMX Royalty Corporation ("EMX") agreed to reduce the final payment

by US$100,000 to US$1.55-million, and SSR Mining Inc. ("SSR") concurrently agreed to waive

Aftermath's obligation to complete and file a Pre-Feasibility Study by November 23, 2025 as would

have been required by the amended Berenguela Acquisition Agreement.

Aftermath has now fulfilled all payment obligations under the Acquisition Agreement and looks

forward to working with SSR to complete the transfer of ownership of Berengeula.

Ralph Rushton, President and CEO of Aftermath commented: "I would like to thank David Cole and

the team at EMX for working with us throughout the agreement , and SSR for its cooperation as we

conclude the acquisition of Berengula. Making this final payment allows us to secure 100%

ownership of the Berenguela silver -copper-manganese project for Aftermath but more importantly

puts us in the driver seat of a what has become a very important critical metals projec t. We are

initiating a comprehensive pre-feasibility study for Berenguela contemplating production of silv er,

copper and manganese."

Deal Terms

EMX's interest in Berenguela resulted from EMX’s acquisition of a portfolio of royalty interests and

payments from SSR and certain of its subsidiaries (see EMX news releases dated July 29 and

October 21, 2021). Aftermath has completed its payment obligatio ns, which arise pursuant to a

definitive acquisition agreement, originally executed with SSR totalling US$13 -million and other

consideration to acquire a 100% interest in the Project.

Notes:

• CIM Definition Standards (2014) were used for reporting the Mineral Resources.

• The effective date of the estimate is 31 January 2023.

• The Qualified Person is Dinara Nussipakynova, P .Geo., of AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd.

• Mineral Resources are constrained by an optimized pit shell using the assumptions in Table 2.

• No dilution or mining recovery applied.

• Silver equivalency (AgEq) formula is AgEq = Ag+ Cu%*121.905+Mn%*22.809+Zn%*41.463 based on the parameters in

Table 2.

• Cut-off grade is 80g/t AgEq.

• Bulk density used was estimated and variable. but averaged 2.30 tonnes/m 3 for mineralized material and 2.25 tonnes/m 3 for

waste.

• Drilling results up to 13 October 2022.

• Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

• The numbers may not compute exactly due to rounding.

• Mineral Resources are depleted for historic mined out material.

• The relative value in the Mineral Resource by metal is as follows, Ag=26% Cu=26%, Mn=44%, Zn=4%.

The Mineral Resource estimate used conceptual open pit mining constraints for reporting purposes and is

presented in Table 1. Mineral Resources are stated at a cut‐off grade of 80 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq) which

equates to a 3.55% manganese equivalent cut-off grade. The relative value in the Mineral Resource by metal

is as follows, Ag=26%, Mn=44%, Cu=26%, Zn=4% using metal prices for Agri -MnSO4 which generally

trades at a considerable discount to battery grade manganese sulphate. The model is depleted for historical

mining activities. The assumptions for the open pit optimization exercise to constrain the Mineral Resource

and confirm reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction are shown in Table 2.
