Defiance Silver Receives Updated Drill Permit

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2026) - Defiance Silver Corp. (TSXV:
DEF) (FSE: D4E) (WKN: A1JQW5) ("Defiance" or the "Company") reports that the Secretariat of
Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico (SEMARNAT) has approved the Company's Informe
Preventivo, the environmental authorization required to conduct exploration drilling, for the Victoria target
at its Green Earth Project, located in Sonora, Mexico.
The Informe Preventivo was prepared and submitted in accordance with Mexican environmental
regulations and reflects Defiance's commitment to responsible exploration practices and environmental
stewardship. The approval authorizes a drilling permit valid for 36 months and includes permission for up
to 89 drill pads and the construction of new access roads, subject to compliance with the approved
environmental terms and conditions. The Company would like to acknowledge the SEMARNAT offices
and the collaborative efforts of the technical and environmental consultants for the efficient review

"The Victoria copper project represents a rare opportunity to drill a large-scale copper-molybdenum
target with coincidental surface mineralization, widespread surface hydrothermal alteration and
prospective geophysics. This updated drill permit allows Defiance to move forward at the Victoria
project."
