Arcus Development and Core Silver Provide Update on Proposed Business Combination to Create Tintina Belt Exploration Company Anchored by the Touleary VMS DiscoveryJune 17, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireView the Corporate Presentation Outlining the Transaction and Strategic RationaleVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 17, 2026 / Arcus Development Group Inc. ("Arcus") (TSXV:ADG) and Core Silver Corp. ("Core Silver") (CSE:CC)(FSE:8ZR)(OTCQB:CCOOF) (together, the "Companies") are pleased to provide an update on the proposed business combination first announced on April 27, 2026 (link), pursuant to which Core Silver would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Arcus on a 1:1 share exchange basis (the "Proposed Transaction"). If the transaction is completed, the Combined Company would emerge with approximately $6.5 million CAD in cash and a strengthened platform to advance multiple exploration projects concurrently. As previously announced, Core Silver and Arcus also entered into an option agreement dated April 26, 2026 whereby Arcus granted Core Silver an exclusive option to earn a 20% interest in Arcus' Touleary project (the "Touleary Project"). Core Silver would earn the interest by incurring no less than $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Touleary Project on or before the first anniversary of the option.Highlights:The Touleary Project is fully permitted for drilling in 2026.Eight drill-ready target areas identified.Existing VMS discovery from 2011 drilling completed by Arcus:Drill Hole TL-11-01 returning 6.09m of 1.37% Cu, 14.5g/t Ag, & 0.80 g/t Au from 85.61m depth.Drill Hole TL-11-05 returning 14.15m of 1.45% Cu, 16.4 g/t Ag, & 0.73g/t Au from 124.5m depth.Broader 1.2 km geophysical and geochemical anomaly remains largely untested outside the 2011 discovery area.Exposure to both copper and precious metals.Located near proposed Northern Gateway infrastructure corridor."The proposed combination provides Arcus shareholders with continued exposure to Touleary while adding the scale, treasury and broader asset base needed to advance a district-scale exploration strategy," said Darryl Jones, Interim CEO of Arcus. "Touleary has a drill-confirmed VMS discovery, multiple untested targets and permits in place for the 2026 field season. We believe the combined company would be well positioned to unlock the project's potential.""This transaction represents an important step forward in the evolution of Core Silver," said Nicholas Rodway, President & CEO. "By acquiring Arcus, we would create a stronger and more diversified exploration company with exposure to multiple district-scale opportunities including Touleary within the Tintina Gold Belt. We believe the Combined Company, assuming completion of the transaction, will be well positioned to pursue new discoveries in a region that is rapidly emerging as one of the most prospective mineral belts in North America."The proposed transaction is designed to significantly expand Core Silver's asset base through the addition of a complementary copper-focused exploration project, while maintaining strong leverage to silver through the Company's Blue Property in northwestern British Columbia.The Companies caution readers that the Proposed Transaction has not yet been completed and there is no assurance that it will be completed on the terms set out in the binding letter of intent (the "LOI"), or at all. The proposed transaction will be undertaken by way of a plan of arrangement under Section 288 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") and is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, the execution by the parties of a definitive agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") and the receipt of all shareholder, court, regulatory and stock exchange approvals, as applicable.A key strategic component of the proposed transaction is the addition of the Touleary Project, a volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") discovery located within a well-known copper-endowed district in the Yukon Territory (Figure 1). The Touleary Project has the potential to emerge as a significant new VMS system within one of Canada's most prospective but underexplored mineral belts.The Touleary Project represents a compelling exploration asset due to its combination of favorable geology, district-scale alteration, drill-proven metal endowment and strategic location within an emerging infrastructure corridor (Figure 2). VMS deposits are globally important sources of copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold and are highly sought after due to their potential for high grades, clustered deposits and scalable district development opportunities.In 2011, a total of 935.9 m of diamond drilling was completed in five holes at the Touleary Project by Arcus. The drill program was primarily designed to test down-dip continuity of a mineralized interval exposed in a 2010 excavator trench, which graded 0.82 g/t gold and 14.30 g/t silver over 34 m. The mineralized exposure coincided with a linear magnetic low identified by the helicopter-borne magnetic survey. The holes intercepted elevated copper, zinc, lead, silver and gold bearing VMS style mineralization over a 300 by 100 metre area within a much larger 1,200-metre-long geophysical and geochemical anomaly, suggesting substantial room for expansion and additional discoveries (Table 1).The Touleary Project is currently fully permitted for drilling in 2026, with eight high-priority drill targets already defined (Figure 3).Table 1: Highlights from Arcus 2011 drilling (after Wengzynowski, W.A., 2025). *The historical drill results reported herein were completed by Arcus Development Group Inc. in 2011. The Qualified Person has reviewed available assessment reports, drill logs and analytical certificates and considers the information to be relevant and reliable for the purposes of this disclosure. True widths of mineralization are unknown. The Touleary Project does not contain a current mineral resource estimate or mineral reserve estimate. For more detail, please refer to Arcus' technical report in respect of the Touleary Project dated November 3, 2025, available under Arcus' profile at www.sedarplus.ca. Figure 1: Touleary Project location and infrastructure.The Touleary Project benefits from several key characteristics commonly associated with major VMS systems, including:Location within a well-established copper-rich geological belt with a history of mineral discoveries.A large prospective land package with potential for multiple mineralized systems.Strong exploration upside in an area that has seen limited modern systematic exploration.Exposure to both base and precious metals, providing leverage to multiple long-term commodity demand themes.Proximity to improving regional infrastructure, including the proposed Northern Gateway Road corridor.The proposed Northern Gateway Road (See Fuerte Metals/Talamore Mining Corp. press release dated March 4-2026) and related infrastructure initiatives are viewed by management as transformational for the broader region. Improved access into northwestern Yukon could materially reduce exploration and development costs, improve logistics, lengthen operating seasons and unlock access to vast areas of highly prospective ground across the Tintina Belt that historically remained difficult and expensive to explore.The Northern Gateway Road in the Yukon refers to a planned multi-million-dollar resource and development route designed to connect Dawson City with major mining developments in the west-central region, particularly the Coffee Mine. The road will traverse and service the heart of the prolific White Gold District. It is designed to service major proposed mining operations, including the Coffee Mine and the Casino Mine, while improving exploration access for junior mining companies. Development of the route requires ongoing government-to-government collaboration and agreements with local First Nations to ensure local socioeconomic benefits (Figure 1).TOULEARY PROJECT GEOLOGYThe geology of the Touleary Project is shown in Figure 2. The property is underlain by the metasiliciclastic rocks of the Snowcap Assemblage and volcanic rocks of the Finlayson Assemblage (Ryan and Gordey, 2001). Lesser amounts of younger Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks belonging to the Simpson Range, Sulphur Creek Suite, and Stikine Suite are inferred along narrow regions of the project area in comparison. The current property scale geology map has been derived from the mapping by Ryan and Gordey in 2001 which collected much of the limited data from ridge top traverses, road cuts and lesser creek exposures. No additional detailed geological mapping has been done on the Touleary Project by Arcus with the exception of detailed mapping of excavator trenches in 2010 and diamond drill core in 2011.The characteristics of the two main lithostratigraphic units are summarized as follows:Snowcap Assemblage (Neoproterozoic)Comprises the basement of the YTT and consists dominantly of metasiliciclastic rocks including quartzite, psammite, pelitic and calc-silicate schists. These rocks are typically poly-deformed and metamorphosed to amphibolite facies.Finlayson Assemblage (Devonian)Comprises Upper Devonian to Lower Mississippian metavolcanic and metasedimentary/volcaniclastic stratigraphy. Volcanic assemblages are distinctly bimodal and, where observed in drill core at the Touleary Project, are dominated by mafic endmembers relative to their felsic counterparts. The Finlayson Assemblage hosts VMS mineralization on the Touleary Project and sulphide horizons at the Discovery Zone are mostly developed in felsic volcaniclastic zones within the mafic dominant section. Hydrothermal alteration of these facies is present as talc chlorite where mafic volcanics are present and varying degrees of silicification and sericite alteration where the felsic facies are present.Government geological mapping originally inferred much of the Touleary Project as being underlain by basal stratigraphy of the Finlayson Group successions below the region of active VMS deposition. Detailed analysis of the processed airborne magnetic data coupled with the drill discovery geological information, VTEM data and the property-wide soil geochemistry, allowed for a significant reinterpretation of the geological and structural architecture of the project area. This reinterpretation identified a much more extensive distribution of fertile volcanic host stratigraphy in addition to potential vent complexes, regions of complex folding and directional structural offsets. Figure 2: Touleary property geology; Vent complexes inferred from geophysics and soil sample geochemistry.TOULEARY PROJECT MINERALIZATIONMineralization at the Touleary Project is typical of Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) systems developed in Devono-Mississippian age submarine volcanic host rocks of the Finlayson Assemblage.The closest known examples of comparable VMS systems occur within the Finlayson District ~450 km southeast along the displaced Tintina Fault Zone in southeastern Yukon. Paleogeographic reconstructions suggest the Finlayson District was originally situated adjacent to the Touleary area prior to displacement along the Tintina Fault.Volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits have also been referred to as volcanic-associated, volcanic-hosted, and volcano-sedimentary-hosted massive sulphide deposits. They typically occur as lenses of polymetallic massive sulphide that form at or near the seafloor in submarine extensional volcanic environments. VMS deposits are grouped according to base metal content, gold content and host-rock lithology. Base metal classification is most commonly used with specific deposit types divided into Cu, Cu-Zn, Zn-Cu and Zn-Pb-Cu groups according to their contained ratios of these three metals. Semi-precious and precious metal content (Ag and Au) can potentially contribute significantly to the economics of VMS deposits. The model illustrated below (Figure 3) is a generic seafloor vertical feeder and mound-style system and does not account for post depositional deformation which can significantly transform the geometries of these deposits. Figure 3: Schematic diagram of the modern Trans-Atlantic Geotraverse (TAG) sulphide deposit on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This represents a classic cross-section of a VMS deposit, with concordant semi-massive to massive sulphide lens underlain by a discordant stockwork vein system and associated alteration halo or ‘Pipe'. (after Hannington et al. (1998)*.*Figure 3 is provided solely as a conceptual illustration of a generic VMS system and is not intended to imply that mineralization at Touleary is analogous to the size or grade of the TAG deposit.TARGETS FOR EXPLORATIONFuture exploration at the Touleary Project is proposed to be focused on the following Target areas (See Figure 4):Localized ScaleTarget 1 (Discovery Zone)Additional step out diamond drilling is planned to be conducted in this area to further delineate the 2011 discovery VMS horizons.Following drilling, downhole electromagnetic surveys will be conducted at this area so that the response over known mineralization can be documented and compared to data collected along strike.Target 2Hand-pitting to expose bedrock in localized areas with coincident anomalous soil signatures (Cu, Zn).Target 3Infill soil sampling.Target 4Hand-pitting to expose bedrock in localized areas with coincident anomalous soil signatures (Cu, Zn).Target 5Ground follow up on coincident multi-element geochemical anomalies that are associated with favorable magnetic signatures and well-defined near-surface conductors.Target 6Infill soil sampling to the northeast and southwest.Target 7Hand-pitting to expose bedrock in localized areas with coincident anomalous soil signatures (Cu, Zn).Target 8Ground-based electromagnetic surveys are proposed to be conducted at this area so that response over known mineralization can be documented and compared to data collected along strike.Diamond drilling within the central area of target to identify mineralization and determine host lithologies.Downhole EM surveys following drilling.Target 8 represents a priority exploration target that may reflect a second mineralized horizon.The lead, zinc, silver and copper-rich and gold-poor geochemical signature suggests that there is the potential for a second type of system or a more distal vent setting.Small clusters of less mobile elements (silver and lead) may represent areas where there is less soil dispersion (i.e. nearer to in-situ mineralization) or, if the stratigraphic package is folded, a concentration of mineralization near fold hinges.Mechanized trenching following on trend of the geochemical anomaly.

Ltd., North Vancouver, British Columbia, 61 pABOUT THE COMPANIESAbout Core Silver Corp.Core Silver Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of mineral projects in British Columbia, Canada. The Company currently holds 100% ownership in the Blue Property Mineral Tenure, which covers a land area of114,074 hectares (~1,140 km²). The project lies within the Atlin Mining District, a well-known gold mining camp located in the unceded territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation. The Blue Property hosts a major structural feature known as The Llewellyn Fault Zone ("LFZ"). This structure is approximately 140km in length and runs from the Tally-Ho Shear Zone in the Yukon, south through the Blue Property to the Alaskan Panhandle Juneau Ice Sheet in the United States. Core Silver believes that the south Atlin Lake area and the LFZ has been neglected since the last major exploration campaigns in the 1980s. The LFZ plays an important role in mineralization of near surface metal occurrences across the Blue Property Mineral Tenure. The past 50 years have seen substantial advancements in the understanding of porphyry, skarn, and carbonate replacement type deposits both globally and in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The Company has leveraged this information at the Blue Property Mineral Tenure to tailor an already proven exploration model and believes this could facilitate a major discovery. Core Silver is excited to become one of Atlin Mining District's premier explorers where its team believes there are substantial opportunities for new discoveries and development in the area.About Arcus Development Group Inc.Arcus was established in June 2006 by a group of mineral industry veterans and investors with records of entrepreneurial success. Arcus is focused on creating shareholder value through the acquisition and advancement of high-quality, early-stage mineral exploration projects. Its principal asset is the Touleary Project in Yukon, which hosts a historical drill-confirmed polymetallic VMS discovery and multiple additional exploration targets.On Behalf of the Boards of DirectorsARCUS DEVELOPMENT GROUP INC."Darryl Jones"

Darryl Jones, Interim CEOAbout Core SilverCore Silver Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of mineral projects in British Columbia, Canada. Core Silver currently holds 100% ownership in the Blue Property Mineral Tenure, which covers a land area of 114,074 hectares (~1,140 km²). The project lies within the Atlin Mining District, a well-known gold mining camp located in the unceded territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation. The Blue Property hosts a major structural feature known as The Llewellyn Fault Zone ("LFZ"). This structure is approximately 140 km in length and runs from the Tally-Ho Shear Zone in the Yukon, south through the Blue Property to the Alaskan Panhandle Juneau Ice Sheet in the United States. Core Silver believes that the south Atlin Lake area and the LFZ has been neglected since the last major exploration campaigns in the 1980's. The LFZ plays an important role in mineralization of near surface metal occurrences across the Blue Property Mineral Tenure. The past 50 years have seen substantial advancements in the understanding of porphyry, skarn, and carbonate replacement type deposits both globally and in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The Company has leveraged this information at the Blue Property Mineral Tenure to tailor an already proven exploration model and believes this could facilitate a major discovery. Core Silver is excited to become one of Atlin Mining District's premier explorers where its team believes there are substantial opportunities for new discoveries and development in the area.Website: https://coresilvercorp.com/About ArcusArcus was established in June 2006 by a group of mineral industry veterans, and a select group of investors with records of entrepreneurial success in a variety of business ventures. The goal of Arcus is to provide significant shareholder returns through the acquisition of interests in advanced early stage mineral exploration projects.Website: www.arcusdevelopmentgroup.comFor further information, please contact:Core Silver at:Core Silver Corp.

Core Silver Intersects High-Grade Copper-Molybdenum Veins up to 7.31% Cu & 1.01% Mo Confirming Large Porphyry System at LaverdiereMarch 16, 2026 5:30 PM
ACCESS NewswireVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 16, 2026 / Core Silver Corp. ("Core Silver" or the "Company") (CSE:CC)(FSE:8ZR)(OTCQB:CCOOF) is pleased to report assay results from the 2025 drilling campaign at the Blue Property (the "Property") located in the Atlin Mining District, northwestern British Columbia.Core Silver's 2025 exploration campaign confirmed the presence of a laterally and vertically extensive copper (Cu)-molybdenum (Mo)-silver (Ag)-gold (Au) porphyry system at the Laverdiere Copper Project. Exploratory drilling at Laverdiere intersected a molybdenum shell containing widespread, low-density porphyry veining with significant grades locally exceeding 1.0% Mo (1.68% MoS2) and 7% Cu (Table 1). The area drilled along the Valley Fault in 2025 is considered directly marginal to one of three interpreted high-grade porphyry centres outlined by systematic soil sampling completed in 2025.2025 DIAMOND DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS AT THE LAVERDIERE COPPER PROJECTDrilling in 2025 intersected mineralized porphyritic rocks with moderate-to-intense alteration and veining along the Valley Fault (Figure 1), situated approximately 2-kilometres southwest of the Main Copper Skarn Zone that was drill tested in 2022. Here LAV22-001, the first-ever drill hole completed by the Company, returned 48.50m of 0.90% Cu, 6g/t Ag and 0.11g/t Au from 31.46m depth, within 96.00m of 0.47% Cu from surface.In 2025, hole LAV25-010 was drilled northeast across the Valley Fault and intersected widespread, anomalous zones of molybdenum and copper with more localized, moderate-to-high-grade porphyry copper ± gold veins, including:10.50m of 0.11% Cu, 2.3g/t Ag and 0.025g/t Au from 444.75m depth, including 2.25m of 0.44% Cu, 10.3g/t Ag and 0.076g/t Au, and 0.50m of 1.97% Cu, 45.9g/t Ag and 0.32g/t Au.10.70m of 0.12% Cu, 1.0g/t Ag and 0.01% Mo from 31.20m depth, including 5.90m of 0.21% Cu, 1.7g/t Ag and 0.02% Mo (0.04% MoS2) and 0.50m of 2.04% Cu, 13.4g/t Ag, 0.032g/t Au and 0.25% Mo (0.41% MoS2).21.00m of 0.02% Mo (0.04% MoS2) from 588.00m depth, including 2.00m of 0.19% Cu, 1.6g/t Ag, 0.017g/t Au and 0.05% Mo (0.09% MoS2) and 1.00m of 0.27% Cu, 2.4g/t Ag, 0.022g/t Au and 0.08% Mo (0.14% MoS2).Additional porphyry veins sampled over intervals ranging between 0.30m and 1.15m width returned up to 0.29% Mo (0.49% MoS2) with 3.3g/t Ag, and up to 0.51% Cu in potassic zones intersected below 550m drilled depth (Table 1).Intermittent, well-developed copper-molybdenum-gold-silver-bearing porphyry veins measuring up to 35 cm thick were observed within higher-grade molybdenum zones at depth in hole LAV25-011, including:24.80m of 0.17% Cu, 1.2g/t Ag and 0.03% Mo (0.05% MoS2) from 580.55m depth, including: 18.35m of 0.23% Cu, 1.6g/t Ag, 0.010g/t Au and 0.04% Mo (0.07% MoS2) from 587.00m, 2.15m of 1.51% Cu, 11.3g/t Ag, 0.064g/t Au and 0.26% Mo (0.44% MoS2) from 603.20m depth, including 0.95m of 3.17% Cu, 19.9g/t Ag, 0.058g/t Au and 0.38% Mo (0.63% MoS2) and 0.35m of 7.31% Cu, 1.01% Mo (1.68% MoS2), 46.3g/t Ag and 0.14g/t Au from 603.80m depth.Additional veining within this interval graded up to 0.52% Cu with 2.1g/t Ag, 0.012g/t Au and 0.09% Mo (0.16% MoS2) over 1.00m and 0.60m of 0.39% Cu, 8.8g/t Ag, 0.14g/t Au and 0.33% Mo (0.56% MoS2).Shallower intercepts from LAV25-011 include: 2.00m of 0.29% Cu, 1.6g/t Ag, 0.012g/t Au and 0.01% Mo from 12.50m depth with vein sets sampled over 1.00m intervals returning up to 0.16% Cu and 0.15% Mo (0.25% MoS2).Hole LAV25-012 intersected impressive, narrow zones of high-grade molybdenum veins and vein breccia with anomalous copper-bearing porphyry veins beginning at drilled depths below 300 metres, including:109.15m of 0.02% Mo (0.03% MoS2) from 520.85m depth, including: 60.05m of 0.03% Mo (0.05% MoS2), 33.50m of 0.04% Mo (0.07% MoS2) from 541.00m depth which includes 5.25m of 0.14% Mo (0.23% MoS2); and 10.40m of 0.06% Mo (0.09% MoS2) from 570.50m depth which includes 4.00m of 0.11% Mo (0.19% MoS2).Additional intervals and individual veins sampled within the above section returned up to 0.32% Mo (0.53% MoS2) with 940ppm Cu over 1.70m, 2.00m of 0.11% Mo (0.18% MoS2) and 0.75m of 0.29% Mo (0.48% MoS2) and 953ppm Cu.Deeper vein sets near end of hole returned up to 0.56% Mo (0.94% MoS2) over 0.70m from 789.80m depth, and 0.50m of 0.67% Cu with 2.4g/t Ag from 827.00m depth.Hole LAV25-013 intersected intense, widespread alteration, deep impressive molybdenum mineralization and localized elevated copper grades in deeper potassic zones and returned:22.00m of 0.02% Mo (0.03% MoS2) from 398.00m depth including 10.00m of 0.04% Mo (0.06% MoS2) including 3.00m of 0.12% Mo (0.19% MoS2) with 320ppm Cu and 1.2g/t Ag, and 1.00m of 0.34% Mo (0.56% MoS2) with 660ppm Cu.Intermittent potassic zones intersected at depth carrying increased copper and molybdenum grades returned up to 0.28% Cu over 0.50m from 994.50m depth, 0.50m of 0.52% Cu with 0.32% Mo (0.54% MoS2) and 1.8g/t Ag from 729.50m depth, 0.39% Cu with 0.21% Mo (0.34% MoS2), 2.1g/t Ag and 0.014g/t Au over 0.50m from 682.25m depth and 1.00m of 0.20% Mo (0.34% MoS2) with 590ppm Cu from 1045.40m depth.Zones of distal potassic alteration with elevated copper grades were intersected below 400m drilled depth along the Valley Fault in 2025 and are locally bound by late-to-post mineral diorite-porphyry phases.Three (3) zones containing anomalous copper and molybdenum values measuring between 900 and 1750-metres-wide were delineated through soil sampling in 2025. These zones (Anomalies X, Y, Z; Figure 3) reside within a ~4-kilometre-long mineralized corridor and are interpreted to represent potential clustered porphyry (+skarn) centres exposed at different erosional levels (Figure 3).The Laverdiere System shares numerous characteristics with some of the largest and most profitable porphyry deposits globally (e.g. Chuquicamata, Escondida, Bingham Canyon). Geochemically, the Laverdiere porphyry falls within the ‘Chuqui Fertility Window' indicating that the system is highly prospective for porphyry copper-gold mineralization with additional evidence supporting magma recharge - an important event that sustains long-lived mineralizing systems by introducing additional copper, gold and sulfur and increasing overall metal endowment of the system (Figure 4).Results from near surface molybdenum veins and breccias encountered in 2025 fall within the range of typical economic cut-off grades for porphyry deposits. At drilled depths greater than 400 metres, increases in copper and molybdenum grades in areas of low-density porphyry veining match those of high-grade primary molybdenum and/or copper porphyry deposits. This indicates that significant stacked grades are likely in zones of higher vein density.Several coincident geochemical, structural, and geophysical vectors support the existence of a district-scale copper-molybdenum-silver-gold porphyry-skarn system that remains open and largely untested. Currently, porphyry mineralization at the Laverdiere Project has been delineated for 5.2-kilometres laterally and to drilled depths exceeding 800 metres.In total, seven (7) diamond drillholes totalling 3,857.17 metres were completed across five locations at the Laverdiere Copper Project in 2025."Results from our 2025 drilling campaign continue to demonstrate the scale and fertility of the Laverdiere Porphyry System," said Nick Rodway, CEO of Core Silver Corp. "The presence of widespread copper-molybdenum mineralization and high-grade porphyry veins across multiple holes confirms that we are exploring a large and robust porphyry system. With mineralization now defined over more than five kilometres of strike and remaining open at depth and along trend, we believe Laverdiere has the potential to develop into a significant new copper discovery within an underexplored ore-deposit gap in northwestern British Columbia."Figure 1: Location Map showing the locations of 2025 and 2022 diamond drillholes at the Laverdiere Copper Project.

Mineralization is structurally controlled and remains open at depth and in multiple directions.Investigations are ongoing to determine if silver-bearing sulphide minerals encountered in 2025 drill core were fully digested during analysis. This is due to the high variability observed in silver grades obtained from different laboratories utilized between 2022 and 2025.Figure 5: 3D Map showing the locations of 2025 diamond drillholes at the Jackie CRD Target at the Silver Lime Polymetallic Project highlighting high-grade silver distribution in rocks and drill core."The 2025 drilling at Jackie confirms that silver mineralization extends below surface and across multiple structural trends," said Nick Rodway, CEO of Core Silver Corp. "These results expand the potential footprint of the system and reinforce Silver Lime as an important component of the broader Blue Property mineral district."Figure 6: Photographs of high-grade silver mineralization at surface and new sulphide mineralization intersected in hole SLM25-067, confirming the continuation of mineralization intersected from surface in discovery hole SLM22-001.

Samples were collected using a metal auger and photographed in the field. Sample descriptions including sample number, location, elevation, color, saturation, depth of sample and soil horizon were recorded in the field and digitally recorded at the end of each field day on-site in Atlin, BC. Soil horizons targeted were mainly horizons ‘B' and ‘C' however, where these horizons were undeveloped, talus fines or shallow organics (‘Ah') were collected.In 2025, 78 soil samples returned assay values greater than 10ppm Mo, 32 greater than 25ppm, 14 greater than 50ppm and 2 samples returned values greater than 100ppm Mo. For Cu, 102 samples yielded values greater than 30ppm, 55 greater than 50ppm, 23 greater than 100ppm and 11 samples returned values greater than 150ppm Cu.Modified Porphyry Index (MPIx) values for soil samples were calculated using the equation after Bouzari et al., (2022):(Cu/10) + Mo + (10*W) + (20*Sn) / (5*Sb) + (20xTl) + Ag + As + LiFor missing or below detection limit (BDL) assay values, a value equal to half the detection limit for that element was substituted into the equation.References:Bouzari, F., Lee, R.G., Hart, C.J.R., and van Straaten, B.I.

Field samples were chosen to capture homogenous lithology, alteration, mineralization, and veining. All rock and drill core samples are submitted to Bureau Veritas (BV) Labs in Whitehorse, YT. For drill core, blanks and certified reference standard materials were inserted for every 20 core samples. Lab duplicate requests were inserted into the core sample sequence every 50 samples. Each rock and core sample is crushed to 70% passing 2mm, then pulverized to 85% passing 200-micron mesh. All samples then undergo a 4-Acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish for a 59-element ultra trace package (Method Code MA-250), as well as fire assay by Pb collection with ICP-ES finish for Au, Pt, and Pd (Method Code FA-330). Samples that hit upper detection limits for elements of interest on the primary multi-element method are further analyzed via a secondary 4-acid digest with an ICP-OES finish (Method Code MA-370). Extremely high-grade Pb samples were analyzed via a tertiary overlimit method, GC-817.Sections of holes LAV25-012 and LAV25-013 are currently being re-analyzed at Bureau Veritas (BV) Labs to correct inconsistencies in some inserted QA/QC samples. These re-analyses are not expected to materially affect the overall grades reported herein. Additional analyses are being completed on select sections of Laverdiere drillholes LAV25-012, LAV25-011 and LAV25-010 and Jackie Target drill hole SLM25-067 to ensure the full digestion of silver-bearing sulphosalt minerals and silver-bearing lead sulphide. Coarse reject samples were delivered to ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, YT which is ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 certified for laboratory procedures. Samples will be analyzed at ALS Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver, British Columbia for 48 elements including Ag, Pb, Cu and Zn by 4-acid digestion (Method Code MEMS61) with an ICP-MS finish.Soil samples collected in 2025 were also transported by helicopter at the end of each field day. Samples were photographed in the field and sample descriptions including sample number, location, elevation, color, saturation, depth of sample and soil horizon. Samples were dried in kraft sample bags on-site prior to being batched for shipment to BV Labs in Whitehorse, YT. There, each sample is dried at 60°C and sieved to pass -180 µm (80 mesh). All samples then undergo an aqua regia extraction with an ICP-ES/MS finish for a 36-element package (Method Code AQ200).NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101 DISCLOSURENicholas Rodway, P.Geo, (Licence# 46541) (Permit to Practice# 1000359) is President, CEO and Director of the Company, and qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

The Company currently holds 100% ownership in the Blue Property Mineral Tenure, which covers a land area of 114,074 hectares (~1,140 km²). The project lies within the Atlin Mining District, a well-known gold mining camp located in the unceded territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation. The Blue Property hosts a major structural feature known as The Llewellyn Fault Zone ("LFZ"). This structure is approximately 140 km in length and runs from the Tally-Ho Shear Zone in the Yukon, south through the Blue Property to the Alaskan Panhandle Juneau Ice Sheet in the United States. Core Silver believes that the south Atlin Lake area and the LFZ has been neglected since the last major exploration campaigns in the 1980's. The LFZ plays an important role in mineralization of near surface metal occurrences across the Blue Property Mineral Tenure. The past 50 years have seen substantial advancements in the understanding of porphyry, skarn, and carbonate replacement type deposits both globally and in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The Company has leveraged this information at the Blue Property Mineral Tenure to tailor an already proven exploration model and believes this could facilitate a major discovery. Core Silver is excited to become one of Atlin Mining District's premier explorers where its team believes there are substantial opportunities for new discoveries and development in the area.On Behalf of the Board of DirectorsCORE SILVER CORP."Nicholas Rodway"

Why are CRDs important?
CRDs are the foundation of western civilization because of advancements in discoveries and usage. Also, they can be found in 10 to 150 million tons of very high grades economical elements. The low mining cost for CRDs and their metallurgically docile nature makes them increasingly important in today’s world. These deposits avoid big open pit mining leaving a minimal environmental footprint with very selective high grade underground mining.
