Silver Range Resources Ltd. delineates Strongbox Property, southwest Nevada and provides corporate
update.
Vancouver, B.C. , February 23, 2022 – Silver Range Resources Ltd. [TSX-V:SNG] (“Silver Range ” or the
“Company”) is pleased to provide results from a recent exploration program at the Strongbox Property in Esmeralda
County, NV.
At Strongbox, a soil geochemical survey w as conducted on a 2,220 m by 600 m grid centred on the known bedrock
mineralization in Tule Canyon. West of Tule Canyon, the survey iden tified numerous anomalies greater than 100 ppb
Au with peak analysis of 4,290 ppb Au (4.29 g/t gold) in regions of thin colluvium and alluvium. The highest sample
in the survey was collected in an area where float grab samples returned up to 5.60 g/t Au. The survey delineated a
number of targets for follow -up trenching and suggests that bedrock gold mineralization west of Tule Canyon is much
more widespread than the gold mineralization located to date. Rock sampling conducted concurrently with the soil
survey returned up to 5.69 g/t Au from the best of four samples collected on the west grid, approximately 250 m
southwest of the Dark Secret Mine.
Strongbox is 95 kilometres (km) south of Tonopah and 80 km west of Beatty in southwest Nevada. Intermittent hard
rock mining on the property was conducted from approximately 1890 until the 1980’s. Gold occurs in en-echelon,
generally NNE striking quartz veins up to 2 m wide in an ENE -WSW trending deformation zone. Grab samples from
these veins and float have returned up to 27.6 g/t Au and a chip sample returned 0.30 m @ 5.25 g/t Au . Where vein
density is sufficiently high, wider lower grade intervals of mineralization may develop. Chip sampling across workings
at the Dark Secret Mine by Silver Range in 2017 returned 40 m @ 0.469 g/t Au including 20 m @ 0.695 g/t Au. Silver
Range believes a bulk tonnage target might be present here or at other locations on the property. An updated video
presentation on results to date at Strongbox may be found at www.silverrangeresources.com/projects/nevada/strongbox/
A total of 511 soil samples were collected of which 12 returned analyses greater than 100 ppb Au and 46 returned
analyses greater than 20 ppb Au. Samples from Strongbox were secured and transported under chain of custody to ALS
Minerals facilities in Reno, Nevada for sample preparation and analysis. At the laboratory, soil samples were screened
to -180 m and a 50 g aliquot was analyzed for 41 elements with induced coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
ALS documents a 0.1 ppb Au detection limit for this technique. Overlimit soil samples (> 1.00 ppm Au) were re -
analyzed with ALS procedure Au -AROR44. Rock samples were analyzed by Ultra -Trace Aqua Regia ICP-MS (ME-
MS41) and fire assayed for gold (50 g sample) (Au-AA26).
East Goldfield Project Update
On February 22, 2022, ATAC Resources Ltd. (ATAC) notified Silver Range that it would be dropping their option on
Silver Range’s East Goldfield Project. Since optioning the project in 20 20, ATAC completed a property -wide soil
survey collecting over 2800 soil samples; conducted property -wide LIDAR and hyperspectral surveys; collected 244
rock & chip samples; and drilled 13 holes (4,124 m) reporting gold intersections in 8 holes (ATAC News Releases dated
February 16, 2021; April 22, 202 1; May 20, 2021; and February 22, 2022). ATAC concluded that “ prospecting and
drilling results demonstrate a broad mineralized system” but drilling failed to meet their expectations. Silver Range
would like to thank ATAC for their thorough, diligent and professional work on the project.
Also announced on February 22, 2022, Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) will acquire the neighboring Goldfield District
Development Project, which contains the Gemfield Deposit, from Waterton Nevada Splitter, LLC for US$206.5 million.

The fully permitted and shovel ready Gemfield Deposit is projected to produce roughly 125koz Au per year for 12 years.
Centerra describes the Goldfield District Development Project as an underexplored property that provides substantial
upside potential.
