Mithril Silver and Gold Limited (“Mithril” or “the Company”) (MTH:ASX, MSG:TSXV) announces drill
results for the Target 1 resource expansion programme at its Copalquin District project, Mexico.
John Skeet, Mithril’s Managing Director and CEO commented:
“Drilling at La Soledad in the Target 1 resource area continues to intercept multiple high-grade silver-gold veins with
grades higher than the average Target 1 mineral resource estimate (MRE) published in November 2021 (NI43 -101 in
August 2024). Further drill holes are scheduled in the Target 1 area at Refugio and Refugio West ahead of an update
of the Target 1 resource. In April 2025, the second drill will commence the first ever holes at the Target 2 area where
the 2024 LiDAR interpretation revealed a breccia pipe at the El Peru workings plus extensive historic surface workings
in the area. We are on target to complete 35,000 metres of drilling throughout 2025 in an expansive program to test
multiple targets and demonstrate our Copalquin District property a s a major high -grade silver and gold district in
Mexico’s famed Sierra Madre Trend.”

COPALQUIN GOLD-SILVER DISTRICT, DURANGO STATE, MEXICO
With 100 historic underground gold -silver mines and workings plus 198 surface workings/pits throughout
70km2 of mining concession area, Copalquin is an entire mining district with high -grade exploration results
and a maiden JORC resource. To date there are several target areas in the district with one already hosting a
high-grade gold-silver JORC mineral resource estimate (MRE) at El Refugio (529koz AuEq @6.81 g/t AuEq)1
and a NI 43-101 Technical Report filed on SEDAR+, supported by a conceptional underground mining study
completed on the maiden resource in early 2022 (see ASX announcement 01 March 2022 and metallurgical test
work (see ASX Announcement 25 February 2022 ). There is considerable strike and depth potential to increase
the resource at El Refugio and at other target areas across the district, plus the underlying geologic system
that is responsible for the widespread gold-silver mineralisation.
With the district -wide gold and silver occurrences and rapid exploration success, it is clear the Copalquin
District is developing into another significant gold -silver district like the many other districts in this prolific
Sierra Madre Gold-Silver Trend of Mexico.
Drilling is in progress at the Target 1 drill area where the current maiden resource drilling is scheduled to be
completed by end of Q1 2025. Channel sampling work, using a diamond rock saw, has continued adjacent to
the Target 1 area and immediately to the south towards the Copalquin creek. Drilling is planned to commence
with the second drill rig at the Target 2 area by April 2025.
Figure 1 LiDAR identified historic workings across the 70km2 district. Target 1 area current drilling location, channel sampling area and
the high priority drill target area s of Las Brujas-El Peru (Target 2) and La Constancia-El Jabali (Target 3). Several new areas highlighted

Drill Results Discussion
Drilling at La Soledad, the north-westerly tending structure on the north-eastern side of the Target 1 resource
area, has returned excellent intercepts ahead of the planned resource update . Results for drill holes MTH -
LS25-12 to MTH-LS25-17 are summarised below. Drilling is continuing at La Soledad where a further three
holes have been completed with one more to complete. Drilling will move westwards to complete further
drilling in the Target 1 area at Refugio and Refugio West.
• 1.99m @ 4.29 g/t gold, 72.6 g/t silver, from 98.26 m (MTH-LS25-12), including
o 0.50m @ 15.4 g/t gold, 214 g/t silver, from 98.26m,
• 2.75m @ 1.23 g/t gold, 81.2 g/t silver, from 108.75m
o 0.50m @ 5.16 g/t gold, 334 g/t silver, from 108.75m,
• 3.62m @ 9.62 g/t gold, 55.2 g/t silver, from 97.7m, (MTH-LS25-13) (incl. 0.8m void), including
o 0.72m @ 45.5 g/t gold, 221 g/t silver, from 100.6m
• 0.46m @ 4.11 g/t gold, 83.8 g/t silver, from 170.54m
• 5.00m @ 5.08 g/t gold, 22.1 g/t silver, from 108.06m, (MTH-LS25-14), including
o 1.00m @ 16.7 g/t gold, 72.7 g/t silver, from 110.0m
• 0.84m @ 1.78 g/t gold, 35.6 g/t silver, from 148.66m
• 0.50m @ 1.72 g/t gold, 11.9 g/t silver, from 102.15m, (MTH-LS25-15)
• 3.35m @ 26.5 g/t gold, 1,046 g/t silver, from 215.15m, (MTH-LS25-16)
• 0.65m @ 12.1 g/t gold, 292 g/t silver, from 280.35m
• 0.50m @ 3.53 g/t gold, 3.2 g/t silver, from 335.0m
MTH-LS25-14 returned higher AuEq grades than previously estimated in the 2021 MRE along both the Soledad
main and Soledad mid veins. The first intercept represents a roughly 20m down -dip extension of high-grade
mineralization from CDH-008 and CDH-011 along the Soledad main vein, with the second intercept 42m down-
dip from MTH-LS-25-12 and 17m up-dip from CDH-013 along the Soledad mid vein.
MTH-LS25-16 returned higher AuEq grades than previously estimated in the 2021 MRE along the Soledad main
vein, confirming a roughly 20m down -dip extension of high-grade mineralization from MTH -LS25-11. The
deeper two intercepts (from 280.35m and 335m) are both in the footwall of the Leon vein, in areas which were
estimated as waste in the 2021 MRE. Both intercepts are open up -dip, down-dip, and along strike, and while
narrow, could represent additional targets for resource growth in the Soledad system.
MTH-LS25-12 confirmed continuity in mineralization along the Soledad vein approximately 18m southeast
from historical mine workings.
MTH-LS25-13 confirmed continuity in mineralization along the Soledad vein approximately 10m west from
historical mine workings and returned significantly higher grades than nearby CDH-003 (12m down-dip).
Drill hole MTH-LS25-17 did not return a reportable intercept.

ABOUT THE COPALQUIN GOLD SILVER PROJECT
The Copalquin mining district is located in Durango State, Mexico and covers an entire mining district of 70km2
containing several dozen historic gold and silver mines and workings, ten of which had notable production.
The district is within the Sierra Madre Gold Silver Trend which extends north -south along the western side of
Mexico and hosts many world-class gold and silver deposits.
Multiple mineralisation events, young intrusives thought to be system -driving heat sources, widespread
alteration together with extensive surface vein exposures and dozens of historic mine workings, identify the
Copalquin mining district as a major epithermal centre for Gold and Silver.
Within 15 months of drilling in the Copalquin District, Mithril delivered a maiden JORC mineral resource
estimate demonstrating the high-grade gold and silver resource potential for the district. This maiden resource
is detailed below (see ASX release 17 November 2021)^ and a NI 43-101 Technical Report filed on SEDAR+
• 2,416,000 tonnes @ 4.80 g/t gold, 141 g/t silver for 373,000 oz gold plus 10,953,000 oz silver (Total
529,000 oz AuEq*) using a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t AuEq*

Table 1 - Mineral resource estimate El Refugio – La Soledad using a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t AuEq*
* Gold equivalent (AuEq.) grades are calculated based on an assumed gold:silver price ratio of 70:1, using the formula: AuEq grade = Au grade + ((Ag grade/70) x
(Ag recovery/Au recovery)). The metal prices used to determine the 70:1 ratio are the cumulative average prices for 2021: gold USD1,798.34 and silver: USD25.32

(actual is 71:1) from kitco.com. Metallurgical recoveries are not considered in the in-situ grade estimate and are assumed to be equal for the above AuEq grade
formula. In the Company’s opinion there is reasonable potential for both gold and silver to be extracted and sold with subsequent preliminary metallurgical test
work recoveries of 91% for silver and 96% for gold (ASX Announcement 25 February 2022).
