Silver Bullet Mines Increases Concentrate Gold Grade to 27 oz/ton from KT Mine, Arizona and Sees Visible Gold at KT Mine, Arizona
Silver Bullet Mines Increases Concentrate Gold Grade to 27 oz/ton from KT Mine, Arizona and
Sees Visible Gold at KT Mine, Arizona
October 1, 2025 – Burlington, Ontario. Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI,OTCQB:SBMCF)
(“SBMI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce positive developments related to its wholly-
owned KT Mine in Arizona. First, as the Company finetunes the milling process for the KT
material it has been able to substantially increase the concentrate grade. Visual inspections of th e
material on the shaker table show a distinct line of gold and lead/ silver in the concentrate. The
grade of the latest high-grade concentrate from the KT Mine has increased to over 27 ounce per
ton gold. Material from the latest run of concentrate has been sent to a third -party lab for multi -
element analysis. Those results are pending.

Second, significant visible gold (VG) has been discovered in the material from the latest blast at
the mine. The Company has roughly 150 to 200 tons of this material at the mine site ready for
shipment to its mill. (Readers are cautioned there are no assurances further VG will be found in
the KT material.)
The Company reasonably believes grades will increase further as it moves from surface material
to underground vein material. Assays from underground work yielded a head grade of .8 oz/ton
gold as of Thursday, September 25, 2025.
SBMI in its short run to date has proce ssed roughly 125 tons of material being a blend of the
existing waste material and new material extracted by SBMI, resulting in over 2 tons of high-grade
concentrate. With each run the Company intends to reduce the amount of existing waste material
and increase the amount of newly-removed higher grade material as the Company evolves to full
underground mining.
To accomplish this the Company has completed the following site work:
Timbered the adit opening and fireproofed the timber;
Blasted out the floor of the opening roughly 4 feet to provide better access to the
underground workings;
Installed ventilation;
Prepared to rock bolt as mining advances; and
Made all necessary safety improvements for MSHA and Department of Mines
requirements.
SBMI’s original business model from 2020 called for SBMI to build its own mill to process varied
material from the area. This is referred to as a hub and spoke model where the mill represents the
hub (centrally located) and the individual properties such as the KT, SC and oth ers represent the
spokes. All properties are within close proximity to the millsite. The Company strongly believes
that its business plan is working. Despite being very pleased with the SC and KT Mines, SBMI
will continue to look for other properties that have the potential to provide better grade and revenue
generation numbers.
There seems to be a new appreciation for this type of mine development and the industry may be
changing. John Carter, CEO, is quoted as saying “Historically small mines made up the backbone
of the mining industry and we believe that is coming back. We believe that SBMI will be one of
the leaders in this renaissance of small scale high grade precious/base metal mining.”
SBMI’s plan has always been to maximize revenue generation and to do so as fast as possible. At
the moment it is expected that revenue should come from the KT and the SC. KT is providing very
high-grade gold and the SC is providing high-grade silver. Combined the Company expects them
to provide significant tons of material for processing at its mill for some time.
Cash flow from the sale of KT and SC concentrate is intended firstly go to upgrading the mill to
increase capacity, process sulphide material and recover other metals. The Company would also
upgrade its assay facility to enable it to provide more detailed assays in light of the high grade
gold, lead, copper and zinc associated to date with the KT material.
Secondly cash flow is intended to provide funds for a detailed exploration program in Arizona to
commence in later 2025 or early 2026, and for general working capital. The ultimate goal is to
eliminate the necessity for the Company to effect further financings until a decision need be made
whether to hunt a potential copper porphyry (see page 8 of the NI43-101 technical report amended
January 31, 2023 and filed at www.sedar.com).
The Company is still awaiting the results of a third-party multi-element analysis on the concentrate
from material taken from the SC Mine. Upon receipt of such results SBMI will be able to advance
the sales process with the Buyer identified on July 9, 2025. Backlogs in third party labs are not
uncommon when the price of gold takes a run. This has delayed the receipt of the first paymen t
for the sale of the SC concentrate but the Company reasonably believes the receipt of the analysis
from the third-party lab is imminent.
This past weekend the Globe, Arizona area was hit with a historic rain event. The Company was
fortunate there was no damage to its equipment and infrastructure. After minor cleanup the SC and
KT Mines and the mill are operational. Unfortunately 4 people have lost their lives, 15 more are
still missing, and over half the businesses in downtown Globe have been damaged or destroyed.
SBMI’s condolences go out to all those affected by this tragedy and the SBMI team will provide
any assistance it can.
Finally, SBMI entered into an agreement with a consultant dated December 1, 2023, whereby the
consultant would provide consulting services to SBMI for a period of thirty-six months at $10,000
per month, payable in common shares from SBMI ’s treasury. SBMI advises that pursuant to this
agreement it has issued one hundred eighty-seven thousand five hundred (187,500) common shares
at a price of $0.16 dated June 27, 2025; and, one hundred thirteen thousand two hundred and eight
(113,208) common shares at a price of $0.265 dated September 22, 2025.
QA/QC
Readers are cautioned samples from the concentrate may not be representative of the remainder of
the KT vein or the remaining waste material.
The samples described in th is news release were analyzed by SBMI at its in-house facility near
Globe, Arizona. These samples were processed through the Lab Jaw Crush er, Lab Hammer Mill
and Splitter Box into an aliquot. Most of the pulverized aliquot was mixed with a flux and flour
combination and melted in a crucible at 1,850 degree Fahrenheit, with the remainder being logged
and archived. Upon cooling, the poured melt was in the form of a metal button and slag, following
which a bone ash cupel was utilized to eliminate the lead in the button to form a bead. The bead
was then weighed, following which a solution of 6 to 1 distilled water to nitric acid was utilized to
dissolve the gold in the bead at approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit. A much more detailed
description of the process and a picture of the assay lab can be found at QA/QC Assay Lab – Silver
Bullet Mines Corp.
Mr. Robert G. Komarechka, P.Geo., an independent consultant, has reviewed and verified SBMI’s
work referred to herein, and is the Qualified Person for this release. Mr. Komarechka was not at
the site when the samples were collected.
