Silver Storm Receives LA Parrilla Surface Drilling Permits
NEWS RELEASE
SILVER STORM RECEIVES LA PARRILLA SURFACE DRILLING PERMITS
Toronto, Ontario, June 18, 2026: Silver Storm Mining Ltd. (“ Silver Storm ” or the " Company")
(TSX.V: SVRS | OTCQX: SVRSF | FSE: SVR) is pleased to announce that it has secured permits for
the construction of 62 drill pads and 27 access roads at the Company’s 100%-owned past-producing
La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex (“La Parrilla”) in Durango State, Mexico. The permits were issued by
the Mexican federal authority, Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (“ SEMARNAT”),
and are valid for a period of 4 years.
Greg McKenzie, President and CEO, stated, “Securing the permits to conduct surface drilling is an
important milestone for our 2026 exploration program at La Parrilla. With multiple promising surface
exploration targets on the La Parrilla land package, we are excited about the potential to grow the
resource footprint on the property.”
The permits authorize Silver Storm to construct surface drill pads and access roads to carry out drilling
on 24 sites at the La Ilusion – Argenis target, as well as 32 sites at the 14 Marcos and Rosarios –
C340 West Extension (“C340”) targets (Figure 1).

An initial exploration plan has been developed for the C340 and 14 Marcos targets:
• At the C340 target, Silver Storm has two objectives: a) upgrading the Inferred Resources at
the past-producing Rosarios mine to the Indicated category; and b) growing the resources by
extending the known mineralization to the west . In addition, the Company is planning to test
the high-grade mineralization in the upper levels of the C193 zone (Figure 1). Approximately
3,600 metres (“m”) of surface drilling are currently planned in the target area.
• At the 14 Marcos target, historical artisanal mining was carried out on two levels to a depth of
approximately 100 m. The expected down-dip projection of the vein mined by artisanal miners
lies approximately 140 m south of mine development within the Rosarios mine . Silver Storm
will conduct initial 3,000 m of surface drilling to test the mineralization at the 14 Marcos target
to a depth of 300 m.
Extension of the Tailings Storage Facility Permit
SEMARNAT has provided an authorization for the continued operation of the existing tailings storage
facility ( “TSF”) at La Parrilla for an additional period of 10 years . The previous authorization by
SEMARNAT to utilize the TSF for the disposal of tailings generated at La Parrilla was scheduled to
expire in 3Q 2026. As a result of SEMARNAT providing the new authorization, the TSF will maintain
its environmental operating license, ensuring the operational continuity of La Parrilla.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements:
Certain statements in this news release are forward -looking and involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of the phrase ‘forward-looking
information’ in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ Natio nal Instrument 51 -102 – Continuous
Disclosure Obligations. Forward -looking statements are not comprised of historical facts. Forward -
looking statements include estimates and statements that describe the Company’s future plans,
objectives, or goals, including words to the effect that the Company or management and Qualified
Persons (in the case of technical and scientific information) expect a stated condition or result to occur.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”,
“estimates”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. Since forward -looking statements are based on
assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks
and uncertai nties. Although these statements are based on information currently available to the
Company, the Company provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s
expectations. Risks, uncertainties, and other factors involved with forward -looking information could
cause actual events, results, performance, prospects, and opportunities to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward -looking information. Forward-looking information in this news
release includes but is not limited to: the future exploration performance at La Parrilla; the timing and
extent of current and future drill programs; the ability to increase Mineral Resources therein; the ability
of the Company to maintain the environmental operating license for the tailings storage facility at La
Parrilla; and the Company's advancement toward a potential near-term restart of La Parrilla.
In making the forward -looking statements included in this news release, the Company has applied
several material assumptions, including , among other things , the absence of material adverse
changes in market conditions, metal prices, permitting status, operating conditions, labour availability,
and access to required equipment, parts, and consumables . The Company cautions that its decision
to potentially restart operations at La Parrilla, and any related production decisions, are largely based
on internal Company data, historical operating results, reports, and engineering assessments and are
not supported by a current mineral reserve estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43 -101,
preliminary economic assessments, pre -feasibility studies, or feasibility studies that demonstrate
economic and technical viability. As a result, there is increased uncertainty and a higher degree of
economic and technical risk associated with any such production decision than would be the case if
such mineral reserves estimates or studies were completed and relied upon to support a production
decision. No mineral reserves have been established for La Parrilla, and mineral resources that are
not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The absence of mineral reserve estimates
prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, preliminary economic assessments, pre-feasibility studies, or
feasibility studies supporting a production decision increases the uncertainty of achieving any
particular level of mineral recovery or the cost of such recovery and heightens the risks associated
with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, projects advanced without the support
of such mineral reserves estimates an d studies have experienced a significantly higher incidence of
economic and technical failure. There can be no assurance that production at La Parrilla will
commence as anticipated or at all, or that any anticipated production levels or operating costs wil l be
achieved. A failure to commence production would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund its operations. Similarly, a failure to achieve
anticipated production costs would have a material adver se effect on the Company’s cash flow and
future profitability.
Forward-looking statements and information are subject to various known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict, that may
cause the Company’s actual results, performance , or achievements to be materially different from
those expressed or implied thereby, and are developed based on assumptions about such risks,
uncertainties, and other factors set out herein.
Such forward-looking information represents management ’s and Qualified Persons ’ (in the case of
technical and scientific information) best judgment based on information currently available. No
forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual future results may vary materially.
Accordingly, readers are advised not to place undu e reliance on forward -looking statements or
information.
