Santacruz Silver Announces Intention to List
on the NASDAQ and Provides Details for
Upcoming Annual General & Special Meeting
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 28, 2025) -
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.
(TSXV: SCZ) (OTCQX: SCZMF) (FSE: 1SZ)
("
Santacruz
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce
that it has applied to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "
Nasdaq
"). The
Company also announces that its 2025 Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the
"
AGSM
") will be held in-person at 15th Floor, 1111 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 2J3, on
Tuesday November 25, 2025, at 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time. The Notice of Meeting, Management
Information Circular, and Form of Proxy for the AGSM have been mailed to shareholders and are
available on the Company's website at
www.santacruzsilver.com/investors/agm
and on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca
under the Company's issuer profile.
Arturo Préstamo, Executive Chairman and CEO commented: "Our intention to list on the Nasdaq
represents a significant milestone in Santacruz's growth strategy. It also demonstrates our commitment
to increasing transparency and liquidity, expanding our shareholder base, and enhancing Santacruz's
visibility within the U.S. capital markets." Mr. Préstamo added, "We believe that pursing this listing will
strengthen our position as a leading silver producer and provide our shareholders with greater access to
the value we are creating across our portfolio. We look forward to seeking our shareholders' support at
the upcoming Annual General and Special Meeting as we take this important step forward."
In connection with the proposed listing, the Company will seek shareholder approval at the upcoming
AGSM for, among other things, a consolidation of its common shares to meet Nasdaq's initial listing
requirements, which include a minimum bid price of US$4 per share (the "
Consolidation
"). As outlined
in the Management Information Circular, shareholders will be asked to approve a Consolidation ratio of
up to 10:1. If the Consolidation is approved and effected by the Company, the actual ratio chosen by the
board of directors will be announced in a subsequent release following the AGSM.
Based on the Company's recent trading history, management of the Company expects that the actual
ratio for the Consolidation needed to meet Nasdaq minimum bid pricing will be equal to or less than 4:1.
The Company intends to effect a ratio for the Consolidation which most efficiently meets the Company's
goals of meeting Nasdaq's initial listing requirements.
As of the record date for the AGSM, 365,384,489 common shares are issued and outstanding.
Assuming the Consolidation is completed on a 10:1 ratio and no other changes to the Company's share
capitalization prior to the record date for the Consolidation, the number of common shares issued and
outstanding will be approximately 36,538,448. If a 4:1 ratio is selected for the Consolidation, the number
of common shares issued and outstanding will be approximately 91,346,122. The Consolidation is
subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
