Southern Silver Provides Corporate Update
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2025) -
Southern Silver Exploration
Corp. (TSXV: SSV) (the "Company" or "Southern Silver")
reports that all resolutions as set out in
the Company's notice of meeting and information circular were passed by the requisite majority of
shareholders at its annual general meeting held on October 23, 2025. The shareholders re-appointed
Smythe LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, as auditor of Southern Silver and approved Southern
Silver's rolling incentive stock option plan pursuant to which a maximum of 10% of the issued shares will
be reserved for issuance under the plan.
The plan is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance.
Directors and Officers
The following incumbent directors were re-elected: Lawrence Page, K.C., D. Roger Scammell, Nigel
Bunting, Peter Cheesbrough, Gina Jones and Russell Ball. Following the annual general meeting, the
Board of Directors re-appointed Lawrence Page, K.C. as President, Robert Macdonald as Vice
President, Exploration, Jay Oness as Vice President, Corporate Development, Killian Ruby as Chief
Financial Officer, and Arie Page as Corporate Secretary.
New Director
Subsequent to the annual general meeting, the directors appointed Ramon Davila to the Board of
Directors.
Mr. Davila is a graduate of the mining school at the University of Guanajuato School of Mines, where he
obtained a degree in Mining & Metallurgical Engineering. After graduating in 1975, he went on to
establish an extraordinary career, focused exclusively within Mexico, that cemented his reputation as a
notable mine builder, an accomplished public servant, and an influential advocate for the mining industry.
Mr. Davila started his career with Industrias Penoles, S.A. de C.V. (BMV: PE&OLES), where he spent
11-years with the then pre-eminent silver mining firm in Mexico; his work at Peñoles exemplified a career
where he has helped to grow some of the world's largest silver producers into the international industry
leaders they are today. From 1994 to 1998 Mr. Davila was the Chairman and CEO of Minas La
Colorada SA, where he developed the La Colorada mine and then sold it to Pan American Silver Corp.
(NASDAQ: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS); the mine remains the largest silver producer within Pan American
Silver's portfolio. Following the sale of the Colorada mine, from 1998 to 2003, Mr. Davila was
responsible for all Mexican operations for Pan American Silver Corp. From 2004 to 2014, Mr. Davila
was Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of First Majestic Silver Corp. ("First
Majestic") (TSX: FR) (NYSE: AG). During a 10-year period, he led a team that created five new silver
mining operations in Mexico, which transformed a new company with no producing assets and just a few
employees into Mexico's second largest silver producer, with over 12 million ounces of silver equivalent
production per year and more than 4000 employees. The rapid rise of First Majestic, under the guidance
of Mr. Davila, is one of the most notable success stories within the precious metals space.
As the Minister of Economic Development for the State of Durango, Mexico, a post he held from 2016 to
2020, Mr. Davila helped advance many resource projects over his four-year term, and in the process,
dramatically improved upon the State's financial situation.
In connection with this appointment, Southern Silver has granted Ramon Davila 1,000,000 incentive
stock options at an exercise price of $0.36 per share exercisable for a period of five years. The stock
options are subject to the terms and conditions of Southern Silver's stock option plan and the policies of
the TSX Venture Exchange.
