Capitan Silver Receives Key Drill Permit for the Cruz De Plata Project and Commences Drilling on Untested High-Priority Regional TargetsJune 22, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 22, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) (OTCQX: CAPTF) ("Capitan" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received a key exploration permit at its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project in Durango, Mexico. The new permit allows the Company to significantly expand its permitted drill targets along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, while also allowing for drill testing of several mineralized structures to the east, northwest, and north on the concessions which were recently acquired from Minera Fresnillo S.A. de C.V. (see Capitan news release dated August 22, 2025) and had not been previously drilled.Highlights: Newly granted exploration drill permit allows Capitan to drill beyond previously permitted 2.5 km mineralized strike length at the Jesus María Silver TrendThe Company has identified several key untested high-priority targets that outcrop to the east, northwest, and north of the Jesus Maria Silver TrendStrong potential for the silver-rich mineralization at Jesus Maria to expand significantly and continue around the large intrusive granodiorite to the northHighlights of grab and chip samples on untested high-priority targets include (see Capitan news release dated October 1, 2025):Casco Norte: 4,291 g/t AgEq (62.1 Au, 18.3 g/t Ag, 0.76% Cu)Jesus Maria East: 1,337.5 g/t AgEq (0.74 g/t Au, 1,364 g/t Ag)Jesus Maria Northwest: 2,268.1 AgEq (27.5 g/t Au, 200 g/t Ag, 4.0% Pb, 2.2% Zn, 0.73% Cu)Never-before-drilled targets to test large-scale potential of property and broader system-wide geological thesis Capitan has identified over 21 km of cumulative mineralized strike length in multiple veins and structures across its different exploration targets (see Figure 1)In October 2025, the Capitan announced a new geological concept for Cruz de Plata as a larger, robust, mineralized silver system (see Capitan news release dated October 1, 2025)Reverse-circulation ("RC") rig now exclusively dedicated to drilling untested high-priority targets Capitan is executing a proven RC-focused drilling strategy which allows the Company to quickly and cost-effectively identify high-grade mineralization in the new target areaUpcoming Catalysts:Assays pending for 57 drill holes: 31core and 26 RC holes, with more arriving weekly4 rigs actively drilling: 3 diamond (core) drill rigs and 1 RC rigAlberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:"We are very excited to be drilling these prospective, untested high-priority targets at Cruz de Plata. These recently permitted targets allow Capitan to extend its drilling beyond the 2.5 km Jesus Maria Silver Trend, where we are currently conducting deeper, down-dip drilling. The addition of these targets is significant because it enables the Company to test the broader mineralized system and true large-scale potential of the project."The RC drilling of these new target areas will follow on the proven exploration method Capitan applied in 2025 to expand the Jesus María trend on strike. I believe using RC, which allows us to drill more metres in a shorter period of time and for a considerably lower cost, is the most intelligent and capital efficient approach to drill test these new targets, as risk is minimized."We have entered a very exciting stage in the evaluation of the Cruz de Plata mineral system as we are concurrently testing the full strike length of the system and testing the system at depth in the Jesus María Silver Trend. With four drill rigs now at work on our 60,000-metre drill program, our understanding of the mineral system will evolve very quickly"Discussion of Expanded Drill Program In Q4 2025, the Company published a new mineral system concept for the Cruz de Plata project containing multiple never-before-drilled targets (see Capitan news release dated October 1, 2025). This new mineral system not only expanded the strike length of the previously identified Jesus María high-grade Silver Trend to the east, northwest, and north, but also included several radial structures within the granodiorite unit and a clear concept for additional near surface targets. These untested high-priority targets are based on surface mapping and prospecting samples and have recently been further refined by the completion of a property-wide, deep penetrating, Mobile MT Geophysical survey (see Capitan news release dated May 8, 2026), which has also identified potential new targets at depth. The Jesus María Silver Trend, which has currently been drilled on a 2.5 km strike length to a maximum depth of 400m down-dip, sits proximal to a contact between a package of carbonaceous siliciclastic sediments and a granodiorite intrusive. This contact has been interpreted through mapping and prospecting, and further refined by the Mobile MT survey, to wrap around the western perimeter of the granodiorite intrusive, forming a C-shaped pattern for a total cumulative strike length of over 8 km, comprised of multiple structures and targets. In addition, when considering identified radial and cross-cutting features including the Peñoles Fault, Gully Fault, El Casco, El Tubo, and La Providencia structures, the cumulative strike length increases to 21 km.The new exploration permit received by Capitan allows the Company to drill beyond its current 2.5 km strike length to test all the additional targets described above. The Company will dedicate its RC rig, already active on site, exclusively to drilling the untested high-priority targets at Cruz de Plata. The Company used this approach successfully in its 15,000m drill program in 2025 to expand mineralization on strike, close to surface, over the Jesus María Silver Trend. This method allows the Company to efficiently test multiple high-priority targets; drilling more metres in a shorter timeframe with lower costs than it would otherwise test if it were to drill with diamond drilling. Consistent with the strategy used at Jesus Maria Silver Trend, the Company plans to follow up future RC drill success with diamond drilling to define potential new silver mineralized zones while also testing potential at depth.Figure 1: Cruz de Plata simplified geological map with target zones and drill permitted areasTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/302314_522a2e2d64317a6c_003full.jpgAgEq grades are reported using the following assumption: Metal Recovery: Ag 94%, Au 86%, Pb 93.5%, Zn 92%. AgEq considers Ag, Au, Pb and Zn and calculated as follows: AgEq = Ag g/t + (80x Au g/t) + (0.003 x Pb g/t) + (0.0037 x Zn g/t). High grades have not been capped. Capitan Silver field samples are sent to the Bureau Veritas Lab in Durango, Mexico for prep. Surface exploration samples have been analysed using the following codes: MA300, 4-acid digestion, multi-element analysis. Au is analyzed using Fire Assay (FA430). Overlimit (>200 ppm Ag) assays utilize method MA370, with gravimetric utilized for any overlimit thereafter. Additional analysis codes from previous operators include: MA250 (50 element, 4-acid, ICP finish), AA24 – Au 30g Fire Assay, ICP61 -Au 30g fire assay, AQ300 1:1:1 Aqua Regia multi-element. QAQC: Capitan Silver maintains a rigorous QAQC program and inserts multiple standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream at regular intervals. Check Assays are performed at SGS laboratories in Durango, Mexico. The data presented includes both chip and grab samples. This type of sampling can be selective in nature and may not be representative of the average grade of the mineralized zones, potentially introducing a positive bias.

NewsfileCapitan Silver Intersects High-Grade Mineralization in Multiple Drill HolesVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 15, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) (OTCQX: CAPTF) ("Capitan" or the "Company"), is pleased to report additional results from its 60,000-metre drill program at its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. The Company is reporting assay results from eight (8) drill holes.Highlights: High-grade mineralization at the Jesus Maria Silver Trend continues to expand down-dip, showing improving widths and grades at depthDrill hole 26-ERDD-10 intersected a broad zone of mineralization, returning 1,071.1 g/t AgEq over 2.0m, within a wider interval of 15.8m of 250.1 g/t AgEq, extending high-grade mineralization 50m down-dipDrilling along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend (east and west of the Peñoles Fault) shows strong vertical continuity; silver mineralization extending down-dip in multiple new drill holesDrill hole 26-ERDD-01 intersected 394.4 g/t AgEq over 1.7m in the upper zone and 620.3 g/t AgEq over 2m within a wider interval of 7.9m of 182.6 g/t AgEq in the lower zoneDrill hole 26-SRRC-12 intersected 280.5 g/t AgEq over 6.1m, within a broader zone of 16.8m of 167.2 g/t AgEq, extending mineralization 90m down-dipCapitan has confirmed drilled continuity over 2.5 km of strike with an average depth of 250m, at the Jesus Maria Main Vein; one of several silver mineralized veins that are part of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend. To date over 21 km of cumulative mineralized vein structures have been identified at the Jesus Maria Silver Trend through surface mapping and sampling programs Upcoming Catalysts:Assays pending for 54 drill holes: 29 core and 25 RC holes, with more arriving weekly4 rigs actively drilling: 3 diamond (core) drill rigs and 1 Reverse Circulation (RC) rigAlberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:"Our 2026 drilling program continues to deliver robust, high-grade results at the Cruz de Plata project. Drilling continues to build on our previous exploration success, extending mineralization further down-dip, where we are seeing both mineralized widths and grades improving. "We are also encountering new zones of mineralization further at depth, which speak to the strong vertical continuity and deep-rooted scale potential of this project. We expect further drilling will continue to confirm our current geological thesis and structural interpretations, as we look to extend mineralization further."Figure 1: Cruz de Plata Plan MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

Drill hole 26-ERDD-10, drilled on the same section as previously reported drill hole 26-ERRC-48 (see Capitan news release dated April 1, 2026), intersected strong, broad, high-grade silver mineralization, returning 1,071.1 g/t AgEq over 2.0m within 884.3 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, all within a wider interval of 15.8m of 250.1 g/t AgEq. Drill hole 26-ERDD-10 extended mineralization from drill hole 26-ERRC-48 by 50m down-dip, with mineralization remaining open at depth (see Figures 2 and 3).Figure 2: Cross-section 26-ERDD-10To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/301451_23b27c9214380b43_004full.jpgDrill holes 26-ERDD-01 and 26-ERDD-06 were drilled to test the continuity of mineralization down-dip from previously completed drill holes to confirm the Company's geological and structural interpretations. These drill holes continued to intersect multiple sub-parallel zones of high-grade mineralization close to surface and at depth.Drill hole 26-ERDD-01 returned strong silver grades over multiple broad intervals, including (i) two upper zones, (ii) a lower zone down-dip, and (iii) a new high-grade zone (see Figure 4). The first upper zone intersected 140.2 g/t AgEq over 2.0m, while the second upper zone returned 394.4 g/t AgEq over 1.7m, within a wider interval of 18.2m of 100.6 g/t AgEq. The lower zone intersected 179.5 g/t AgEq over 2.0m, within a wider interval of 13.7m of 60.5 g/t AgEq. The Company also discovered a new high-grade zone of mineralization at depth within the skarn/hornfels unit, returning 620.3 g/t AgEq over 2.0m, within a wider interval of 7.9m of 182.6 g/t AgEq. Drill hole 26-ERDD-01 extended mineralization 55m down-dip from previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-37 (see Capitan news release dated February 10, 2026), which returned 1,833.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 21.3m of 340.4 g/t AgEq.Drill hole 26-ERDD-06, drilled on the same section as drill hole 26-ERDD-01, returned multiple strong intervals of silver mineralization, intersecting 461.5 g/t AgEq over 1.1m, within a wider interval of 5.1m of 122.6 g/t AgEq, and 218.2 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, within a wider interval of 9.5m of 106 g/t AgEq (see Figure 4). Drill hole 26-ERDD-06 also extended mineralization from drill hole 26-ERDD-01 by 25m down-dip. Cumulatively, drill holes 26-ERDD-01 and 26-ERRC-06 extended mineralization from drill hole 25-ERRC-37 by 85m down-dip. For both drill holes 26-ERDD-01 and 26-ERDD-06, the Company has observed increasing base metal tenors compared to shallower drilling, indicating that mineralization is beginning to cross over to a style more consistent with what the Company has seen at the historic, high-grade Jesus Maria mine to the west.Figure 4: Cross-section 26-ERDD-01 and 26-ERDD-06To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/301451_23b27c9214380b43_005full.jpgDrill hole 26-ERDD-04 returned multiple intervals with strong silver grades, intersecting mineralization in an upper zone of 237.4 g/t AgEq over 1.3m, within a wider interval of 5.3m of 72.4 g/t AgEq, and a lower zone of 394.4 g/t AgEq over 1.0m, within a wider interval of 3.9m of 141.8 g/t AgEq.Drill hole 26-ERDD-04 also extended mineralization from previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-52 by 43m down-dip. Drill hole 25-ERRC-52 had multiple high-grade silver intercepts, including 1,450.5 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 3.0m of 1,131.5 g/t AgEq, 468.3 g/t AgEq over 4.6m, 574.6 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, all contained within a broad interval of 41.1m of 211.0 g/t AgEq (see Capitan news release dated April 1, 2026).Drill hole 26-ERDD-09, drilled on the same section as previously announced drill hole 26-ERRC-39 (see Capitan news release dated April 1, 2026), intersected two zones of mineralization, an upper zone of 184.7 g/t AgEq over 2.0m, and a 105m down-dip extension to the main Jesus Maria zone, including 313.0 g/t AgEq over 1.4m and 198.1 g/t AgEq over 2.6m, within a wider interval of 25.5m of 86.0 g/t AgEq.Drill Results (Jesus Maria Silver Trend, east of the Peñoles Fault) RC drilling east of the Peñoles Fault continued to increase the Company's confidence in its mineralization model, with silver grades continuing to improve in width and grade at depth. Lack of base metals in this area indicates that current drilling is still high (elevation) in the epithermal system, with zones remaining open at depth, indicating the potential for further expansion. RC drilling in this area was intended to expand the mineralized footprint through large step-out drilling in the historic San Rafael mine area of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, and to test continuity of stronger silver grades that were returned in previously announced drill holes 26-SRRC-11, 14, and 18 along the same section (see Capitan news release dated May 11, 2026).Drill hole 26-SRRC-12, drilled 120m to the west of the historic San Rafael mine workings, returned one of the widest and strongest intercepts east of the Peñoles Fault along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, intersecting 280.5 g/t AgEq over 6.1m, within a broader zone of 16.8m of 167.2 g/t AgEq. Drill hole 26-SRRC-12 shows that grades and widths are improving with depth. This hole also extended mineralization down-dip from 26-SRRC-11 by 90m, and the zone remains open down-dip.Table 1: Drill Results Hole IDFrom (m)To (m)Interval (m)Ag Eq Rec (g/t)Ag (ppm)Au (ppm)Pb (%)Zn (%)26-ERDD-01 Interval23.025.02.053.944.00.1760.0020.01Interval48.552.43.990.462.20.4590.0030.006including48.550.52.0140.2105.00.5970.0050.007Interval81.285.24.047.337.50.1640.0020.021Interval90.5108.718.2100.694.60.1420.0120.046including90.593.53.0115.4109.70.1640.0070.025including96.398.01.7394.4406.00.1520.0360.037including101.0102.71.7162.6164.00.0660.0340.085Interval172.5186.213.760.548.20.0360.0830.305including172.5174.21.7108.399.00.1270.0610.14including176.2178.22.0179.5166.00.0860.1640.379Interval200.0208.68.633.024.70.0130.1210.161Interval230.6231.91.3152.7103.00.3030.2390.832Interval274.4275.61.2113.269.00.0090.3911.08Interval285.0287.02.051.835.00.0150.3240.256Interval299.0306.97.9182.6186.10.0030.0380.189including299.0301.02.0620.3652.00.0030.0110.205

Capitan Silver Announces Arrival of 4th Drill Rig at the Cruz De Plata ProjectJune 11, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 11, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) (OTCQX: CAPTF) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report that a fourth (4th) drill rig has arrived on site at the Company's Cruz de Plata silver-gold project in Durango, Mexico. The newly arrived core rig, which is expected to commence drilling imminently, joins a reverse circulation ("RC") rig and two core rigs that are already drilling on the property.Highlights:Drilling activity continues to ramp up as the fourth (4th) of four (4) rigs has arrived at Cruz de PlataThis new rig is the third (3rd) of three (3) diamond (core) drill rigs that have joined the existing RC drill rig that has been drilling on the property since March 2025The additional rigs are part of an aggressive 60,000-metre drilling campaign for 2026, which is the largest drill program in the Company's historyAll three new diamond drill rigs are focused on testing and expanding the high-grade silver zones identified at Cruz de Plata along strike and at depthCatalysts: 61 drill holes pending final assays: (36 core and 25 RC)Newly Arrived Core Rig to Test High-Grade Targets East of Peñoles Fault, Below San RafaelThe newly arrived core rig's immediate focus will be testing high-grade targets east of the Peñoles Fault, proximal to the historically producing San Rafael area, while providing more information about mineralization intersected in previously reported drill holes 25-ERRC-20, 25-ERRC-32, 25-ERRC-43, and 26-SRRC-08 (see Figures 1 and 2, Target B). The third core rig will also focus on confirming vertical continuity and expanding previously identified broad mineralization encountered by RC drilling in this target area down-dip. Target area B is another new, developing high-grade zone, and has been interpreted to contain multiple subparallel zones of silver mineralization that remain at an early stage of exploration, with only widely spaced, shallow drilling having taken place. Testing Priority Targets in Three Main AreasWhile the newly arrived core rig's immediate focus will be on testing Target B, the other core rigs are focused on expanding mineralization deeper at the following targets (see Figures 1 and 2):Target A: Core drilling is focused on expanding recently defined high-grade mineralization immediately to the west of the Peñoles Fault (see Figures 1 and 2, Target A). Drilling in this area will target mineralization both at depth and down plunge of previously reported holes 25-ERRC-12, 26, 34, 38, 52, and 26-ERDD-08.Target C: Core drilling is focused on targeting high-grade silver mineralization on the western end of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, including the Gully Fault Zone, central portions of the Jesus Maria vein, and beneath portions of Capitan Hill, and will focus on extending the mineralized envelope deeper, while providing more information about mineralization intersected in previously reported drill holes 21-JMRC-01, 21-JMRC-10, and JM-DDH-13-06 (see Figures 1 and 2, Target C).RC drilling continues to focus on testing shallow targets along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, mainly east of the Peñoles Fault.Figure 1: Cruz de Plata drill plan mapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

Capitan Silver Intersects 935 g/t Silver Equivalent over 1.3 Metres, Within a Wider Zone of 157 g/t Silver Equivalent over 20.0 Metres at the Cruz De Plata ProjectMay 11, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileCapitan continues to grow the mineralized system at Cruz de Plata, expanding the Jesus Maria vein deeper and identifying additional new high-grade zonesVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) (OTCQX: CAPTF) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report the first assay results from its 60,000m 2026 drill program at its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. The Company is reporting assay results from twenty-three (23) drill holes.Highlights:High-grade silver mineralization at the Jesus Maria Silver Trend appears to be expanding along strike and down-dip, with grades and widths improving at depthDrill hole 26-ERDD-08 intersected 934.6 g/t AgEq over 1.3m, within a wider interval of 157.3 g/t AgEq over 20.0m, extending high-grade silver mineralization 150m deeper than previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-10
25-ERRC-10 intersected 502.0 g/t Ag over 1.52m, within a broader zone of 316.3 g/t Ag over 3.0m (see Capitan news release dated September 2, 2025)Drill hole 26-ERDD-07 also expands previously identified high-grade silver mineralization at the Jesus Maria vein, intersecting three distinct high-grade zones, including a broad zone of mineralization further down-dipDrill hole 26-ERDD-07 intersected an upper zone, the Jesus Maria vein, and a new lower zone further at depth
Upper zone: intersected 585.9 g/t AgEq over 1.1m, within a broader zone of 213.4 g/t AgEq over 9.0mMain zone (Jesus Maria vein): intersected multiple high-grade zones with up to 191.6 g/t AgEq over 2.0m, within a broader zone of 76.4 g/t AgEq over 20.7mLower zone: intersected 563.7 g/t AgEq over 1.0m, within a broader zone of 125.7 g/t AgEq over 5.3mDrill hole 26-ERDD-07 is located 30m east of previously reported hole 25-ERRC-52 (see Figure 5)
Drill hole 25-ERRC-52 returned multiple high-grade silver intercepts, including: 1,450.5 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 1,131.5 over 3.0m, 468.3 g/t AgEq over 4.6m, 574.6 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, all contained within a broad interval of 211.0 g/t AgEq over 41.1m (see Capitan news release dated April 1, 2026)Drill hole 26-SRRC-08 returned an interesting result, identifying a new, broad zone of silver mineralization east of the Peñoles FaultDrill hole 26-SRRC-08 intersected two mineralized zones:
Upper zone: intersected 213.7 g/t AgEq over 1.5mLower zone: intersected 164.2 g/t AgEq over 6.1m, within a wider interval of 61.8 g/t AgEq over 39.6mUpcoming Catalysts:Analyst site tour (May 11-13)Assays pending for 43 drill holes: 16 RC and 27 core holes, with more arriving weeklyAlberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:"The first batch of assay results from our 2026 drilling program have demonstrated that the high-grade Jesus Maria Silver Trend continues to grow on strike and at depth. As we go down-dip, I am excited to see mineralization growing, grades improving, good continuity of mineralized structures, consistent thicknesses, and new high-grade zones of mineralization. "Not only have we intersected the main Jesus Maria vein - clearly identified in our highlight hole - with its characteristic broad width, but we also continue to intersect high grades both above and below the Jesus María vein. Finding a new high-grade zone at depth is particularly exciting, as it is expanding our deeper targets and bringing further scale potential into view. "These new results now give the Company 2.5 km of drilled continuity along strike. Looking ahead, we are only getting started on the deeper testing, and plan to expand all our known drilling down to approximately 500m from surface with this year's program."Figure 1: Cruz de Plata drill plan mapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/296840_e13159e7e4454930_002full.jpgDiscussion of 2026 Drill Program and ResultsDrilling at the Cruz de Plata silver-gold project has ramped up in 2026, with three drill rigs currently operating at site. Total daily output currently averages approximately 210-220m per day, with very little downtime reported. The Company expects to add an additional diamond core drill rig to the property in the coming month.Diamond core drilling has been primarily focused on expanding high-grade silver mineralization at depth along the main Jesus Maria Silver Trend, specifically targeting areas down-dip from shallow, first pass RC drilling to the west of the Peñoles Fault (see Figure 1), with the goal of testing mineralization 500m from surface (see Figure 5). Approximately thirty (30) diamond core holes have been completed so far in 2026, in addition to thirty-six (36) RC holes.Drill Results Jesus Maria Silver Trend (west of the Peñoles Fault)Diamond and RC drilling continued to test the continuity of high-grade silver mineralization on the west side of the Peñoles fault, with drilling focused on two main 400m-wide corridors consisting of the Peñoles Fault-Jesus Maria Silver Trend Intersection (results reported in this news release) as well as the Gully Fault-Jesus Maria Silver Trend intersection further to the west (assay results pending).Diamond drill holes 26-ERDD-05, 07 and 08 were designed as on-section step-outs to test and extend high-grade silver mineralization at depth, as well as obtain more detailed structural and lithological information that is not captured well in the RC drilling. All holes returned multiple, strong silver grades both near surface and at depth. Drill hole 26-ERRD-05 returned multiple zones, including a strong silver interval down-dip from a previously identified zone, that returned weaker silver grades, in the hanging wall to the main Jesus Maria zone. These results indicate the potential for additional sub-parallel zones of high-grade silver mineralization developing in the hanging wall of the main Jesus Maria zone. These intercepts extended mineralization down-dip between 20 and 56m, in addition to identifying important fault structures, intrusive units and breccia zones, that will assist with additional targeting at depth. Best results include 827.0 g/t AgEq over 1.4m and 254.6 g/t AgEq over 1.1m.Drill hole 26-ERDD-08 returned a strong intercept in the Jesus María structure with 157.3 g/t AgEq over 20.0m starting at a depth of 172.0m. This broader 20.0m intercept included multiple high-grade zones including 934.6 g/t AgEq over 1.3m, within a broader zone of 376.3 g/t AgEq over 5.2m, as well as 182.5 g/t AgEq over 2.3m, and 136.6 g/t AgEq over 2.0m. This step-out hole extends mineralization down-dip, along section by 83m from drill hole 26-ERRC-53. While reported in silver equivalent, the 20.0m interval is averaging 84% silver equivalent content, with the remaining 16% of the AgEq grade coming from gold, lead and zinc. However, the higher-grade zone with 934.6 g/t AgEq over 1.3m, has a silver content of 920.0 g/t Ag, representing 98% of the silver equivalent content (see Table 1). These results not only continue to strengthen the primary silver nature of Cruz de Plata, but the metal ratios also indicate the drill intercepts are still high on the system with significant upside to test at depth. Additionally, drill holes 26-ERDD-08 and 26-ERRC-53 extended mineralization 150m down-dip from drill hole 25-ERRC-10, with grades increasing at depth towards hole 26-ERDD-08 (see Figure 2).Drill hole 26-ERDD-07, located 30m east of previously reported hole 25-ERRC-52 (see Capitan news release dated April 1, 2026) intersected three distinct high-grade zones: (i) an upper zone, (ii) the Jesús María vein, and (iii) a new lower zone further at depth (see Figure 3). The upper zone (also cut by drill hole 26-ERDD-08 but in a lower-grade zone), intersected 585.9 g/t AgEq over 1.1m, within a wider zone of 213.4 g/t AgEq over 9.0m. This zone has been intersected in other drill holes in this area and continues to grow on strike and at depth and has been low in base metals with AgEq, coming mainly from silver with some gold. The main zone, or the Jesus María vein, intersected multiple high-grade zones with up to 191.6 g/t AgEq over 2.0m, within a broader zone of 76.4 g/t AgEq over 20.7m. The new lower zone intersected 563.7 g/t AgEq over 1.0m, within a broader zone of 125.7 g/t AgEq over 5.3m. While this zone was higher in base metal contents with up to 4.91% Pb + Zn (see Table 1), silver still amounted to 76% of the calculated silver equivalent grade. This new lower zone adds new targets to the Jesus María Silver Trend.Jesus Maria Silver Trend RC Drilling (east of the Peñoles Fault)Ongoing exploration work in early 2026 along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend east of the Peñoles Fault has led to the completion of 29 drill holes at this target, with 18 holes reported in this news release. During 2025, drilling confirmed that this area was comprised of multiple, sub-parallel mineralized zones that were poorly understood due to lack of drilling. The goal for early 2026 was to build out mineralization along strike and at depth through broadly spaced RC drilling to confirm the dip and orientation of mineralized zones. An additional objective was to obtain enough information to model at least one zone that could be used as a target for future drill planning to extend the zone down-dip through larger step-outs. Currently, the modelled zone east of the Peñoles Fault has a strike length of 1,100m and has been traced down-dip between 150 to 350m and remains open along strike to the east and at depth (see Figure 5). All 14 drill holes reported in this news release intersected silver-gold dominated mineralization, with locally strong silver grades returned in multiple holes. Best results include: drill hole 26-ERRC-58, which returned 341.9 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 137.5 g/t AgEq over 6.1m,drill hole 26-SRRC-08, which returned 213.7 g/t AgEq over 1.5m (upper zone) and 164.2 g/t AgEq over 6.1m, within a wider interval of 61.8 g/t AgEq over 39.6m (lower zone), drill hole 26-SRRC-11, which returned 238.9 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 77.4 g/t AgEq over 9.1m, and drill hole 26-SRRC-17, which returned 417.5 g/t AgEq over 1.5m and 139.4 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 148.6 g/t AgEq over 7.6m. In addition, several of the remaining drill holes returned values of >100 g/t AgEq (see Table 1).Evaluation of the geochemical signature from this portion of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend indicates that the current drill program remains in relatively shallow (boiling portion) of the epithermal system, as base metals remain largely absent in the reported mineralized zones, even in the deepest portions of the mineralized model. The recently completed MobileMT geophysical survey (see Capitan news release dated May 8, 2026), indicates that this zone remains open to expansion, with good correlation between magnetics and conductivity anomalies, indicating the anomalies extend for at least 1km below the current modelled zone. Future drilling will be focused on larger step-outs to explore for higher grades in the deeper parts of the system.Figure 2: Cross-Section, drill hole 26-ERRD-08To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

Capitan Silver Receives Final Results from Airborne Geophysics Program for the Cruz De Plata ProjectMay 8, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileGeophysics further supports the Company's model that Cruz de Plata is a large-scale, rich, intact mineralized systemVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 8, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) (OTCQX: CAPTF) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report that it has received the final interpretative products and reports from its property-wide Airborne Magnetotelluric ("MT") geophysical survey at its 100% owned Cruz de Plata silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. The Airborne MT survey, completed by Expert Geophysics Limited, represents the first property-scale geophysics program completed at the property. Highlights:Data from Airborne geophysics further supports the Company's geological model, that Cruz de Plata is a significant large-scale, silver-rich mineral system (see Figures 2/2A/2B) and Capitan news release dated October 1, 2025):On-strike extension of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend target confirmed around the large granodiorite intrusive to the west and north (representing a mirror image of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend to the north (see Figure 2/2B)Strong vertical continuity of major geological features in geophysics with projections deeper than 1.5 km down-dip from surface; consistent with Intermediate Sulphidation Epithermal Systems (see Figure 4)Multiple new targets identified at Cruz de Plata, both along strike and at depth (see Figures 3/3A and 4)Catalysts: Assays pending for 64 drill holes: 35 reverse circulation (RC) holes and 29 core holes)Alberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:"The results of the first property-wide geophysical survey at Cruz de Plata reinforces our confidence in the prospectivity, richness, and large-scale potential of the Cruz de Plata project. Magnetic data has shown a strong correlation with our current geological understanding of the property and previously identified mineralization. These results yield the potential for several exciting new drill targets throughout the property, where geophysical responses indicate that there could be repetition of similar mineralized structures. "This survey also indicates the potential for significant scale at depth, where we are seeing good vertical continuity of modelled geological structures with clear boundaries extending at depths of over 1.5 km from surface down-dip, which we are following up on this year."DiscussionCapitan Silver engaged Expert Geophysics Limited of Newmarket, Ontario to complete a Helicopter-borne MobileMT Electromagnetic and Magnetic survey over the entire Cruz de Plata property package. Figure 1 shows the extent of the program and lines flown over Capitan's Cruz de Plata property package. The survey collected three datasets: MobileMT (identifies conductive and resistive zones), Total Magnetic Intensity (contrasts in lithologies and alterations), and to build a three-dimensional resistivity model of the subsurface (Conductive zones indicate fault-controlled alteration, brecciation, and sulphide mineralization. Resistive zones indicate silicification and unaltered intrusive rocks) and VLF (used to map near-surface conductive structures). Initial data evaluation involved layering these new products with Capitan's existing database, including known mineralized zones, surface sampling, drill information, and geological interpretations to evaluate any readily discernable correlations between data sets.Figure 1: Map of survey area showing grid line and property boundaryTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

The model showed surface mapping, sampling and limited geophysical data supporting the continuity of high-grade silver mineralization around a large body of granodiorite. The current MT geophysical survey is the first to cover the entire consolidated property and to explore it at depth. Results from the MT survey show both the Magnetic and Resistivity Inversion models have a very strong correlation with current geological interpretations and known mineralization, reflecting major lithological boundaries and structures. Both 2D and 3D Inversion models indicate good horizontal continuity of modelled geological structures and lithology and also correlate well with known mineralized zone boundaries.Newly Acquired Conductivity DataApparent conductivity (see Figure 2) shows areas of strong contrast matching the mapped boundary between a large, elongated, northeast trending granodioritic intrusive unit (blue shows resistive unit). The immediate area surrounding the intrusive area is the favourable contact that hosts the Jesus Maria Silver Trend. Figure 2B shows a detailed view of this area including a layer of mapped structures on surface and surface sampling and shows a strong match between the high and low resistivity zones between the intrusive and surrounding rocks and mineralized zones. This provides strong new evidence for the continuity of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend to the west and north. Figure 2: Resistivity Plan Map (165Hz slice) showing new target locations 1.

It shows the granodiorite body mainly as a magnetic high and mineralized zones largely matching with magnetic lows. This is particularly clear in the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, west of the Peñoles Fault (where high grades have been intersected in drilling). A similar zone is found on the north end of the intrusive along the Peñoles Fault, indicating a potentially favourable zone for high grade. Additionally, a further pair of elongated lows are found on the eastern end of the magnetic high, one matching the eastern end of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend. The second, located within the intrusive, correlates strongly with the interpreted trend of the previously reported Casco Norte target (Target 4 in Figure 2), where chip sampling returned (4,291.2 g/t AgEq - 62.1 g/t Au, 18.3 g/t Ag, and 0.76% Cu from an old working (see Capitan news release dated October 1, 2025). This further strengthens the Casco Norte target. The anomaly associated with this area trends northeast for approximately 1.3 km and remains untested.Figure 3A shows a close up of the magnetic vertical gradient map with layered mapped structures, sampling and highlighted drill intercepts, thus offering further detail on the matching magnetic lows and the coincident mineralized structures.

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/296626_fe3543d394814b09_007full.jpgCross-Sections: Implications of New Magnetic and Resistivity Data at the Jesus Maria Silver TrendBoth Figures 4 and 5 shown below display inverted magnetic susceptibility (top) and inverted resistivity (bottom) data along transects that cross-cut the main Jesus Maria Silver Trend. These two techniques help geologists to delineate boundaries between major rock units, as well trace faults, and detect changes in properties of rock units, that may reflect zones of alteration and mineralization in the subsurface. Cross section A-A' shows the main Jesus Maria Silver Trend proximal to the historic workings and the Capitan Hill Oxide Gold Deposit (see Figure 4). B-B' shows the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, east of the Peñoles Fault near the historic San Rafael Mine (see Figure 5). See Figure 1 for location of cross sections.The sections illustrate favourable zones for mineralization are identifiable within the interpretative products, with the granodiorite reflected in high magnetic susceptibility (magenta)/high resistivity (red-magenta), whereas the areas of altered volcanic and sediment, that host known mineralized zones (Capitan Hill and Jesus Maria), are reflected in the area of low magnetic susceptibility (blue) and low resistivity (green-blue). Of particular significance is the down-dip projection of these boundaries in the inverted data, which indicates that the favourable horizons for mineralization have continuity of approximately 1.5 km from surface, reinforcing the geological thesis that Cruz de Plata is a deep-rooted, large-scale system. The inverted resistivity images in Figures 4 and 5, illustrate the correlation between areas of strong magnetic contrast (lithological contacts and structures), and areas of strong conductivity at depth. These areas of conductivity (red areas) - where they overlap with known structures and lithology boundaries - could represent zones of hydrothermal alteration, including zones of brecciation, clay alteration, sulphide bearing zone or altered sediment. This observation supports Capitan's thesis of potentially deeper targets beneath known zones of mineralization where feeder structures are transporting mineralized fluids towards surface. It should be noted that mineralized zones such as Capitan Hill, eastern portions of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend (San Rafael Area) and the El Tubo target, represent more near surface (distal) hot-spring style epithermal mineralization, with deeper portions of the system, transitioning to more silver-rich, and eventually becoming more base-metal rich at depth.Interpretive work and updates will continue in the coming months as field work is carried out. Capitan intends to continue engaging with Expert Geophysics Limited to assist with targeting exercises, particularly for anomalies at depth.Figure 4: Top Image - Inverted Magnetic Susceptibility data showing the correlation of magnetic boundaries with known lithologies, and mineralized zones.

The fourth rig is expected to arrive on site in the coming weeks. The Company's 2026 drill program will be comprised of three diamond (core) rigs and one RC rigCatalysts: Final assays pending for 38 drill holes24 - RC holes14 - Core holesProperty-wide airborne geophysical survey completed; results expected in Q2 2026. These results will assist with definition of deeper targets property-wideAlberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:"Drilling at Cruz de Plata continues to deliver high-grade results. These recent assays not only continue to identify new high-grade zones of mineralization but also expand previously identified mineralization along strike and at depth and demonstrate excellent continuity. Additionally, I am excited by what we are seeing in terms of silver mineralization at depth. Specifically, drill holes 25-ERRC-52 and 25-ERRC-38, which show that as we go deeper, we are seeing mineralized zones getting larger and intersecting multiple high-grade vein structures. Given the nature of intermediate sulfidation epithermal systems — which are known to have deep roots — these results signal the potential for greater scale at depth, which we will be drill testing this year with diamond core rigs."Figure 1: Drill Plan MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

The most significant development is the discovery of a new zone of high-grade silver mineralization at depth, located approximately 240m west of the Peñoles Fault and 130m west of a previously reported new high-grade silver zone developing on the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, on the west side of the Peñoles Fault.Drill hole 25-ERRC-52 (see Figure 2) was collared at the same location as previously reported drill hole JEMA-02 which was drilled by its previous owner, Minera Fresnillo S. A. de C. V. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Fresnillo plc) and was subsequently acquired by Capitan in 2022 (see Capitan news release dated December 6, 2022). Previously reported drill hole JEMA-02 intersected 531 g/t AgEq over 1.3m within 214 g/t AgEq over 6.85m, within a wider zone of 93 g/t AgEq over 29m. Drill hole 25-ERRC-52 returned a wide, strong zone of silver mineralization, with several significant high-grade intervals including 1,450.5 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 1,131.5 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, 468.3 g/t AgEq over 4.6m, and 574.6 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, all within a broad interval of 211.0 g/t AgEq over 41.1m. This hole extended mineralization down-dip approximately 25m from drill hole JEMA-02, with the zone remaining open along strike and at depth. The diamond drill rig is currently completing additional drilling in this area, with results pending.Figure 2: Cross section, drill hole 25-ERRC-52To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/290837_b53d9c3614b469a4_003full.jpgAdditional drilling along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend west of the Peñoles Fault continued to grow mineralization at depth, as well as increase confidence and continuity of mineralization along strike. Drill holes 25-ERRC-39, 25-ERRC-40, 25-ERRC-41, 25-ERRC-48, and 25-ERRC-51 all targeted down-dip, on-section extensions of mineralization along this trend. All drill holes returned multiple intervals of silver mineralization and extended mineralization to depth, along section between 20m to 50m, with the best values returned from holes 25-ERRC-48 and 51. Drill hole 25-ERRC-48 (see Figure 3) intersected 220.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within 156.8 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, 175.3 g/t AgEq over 3.0, within 86.4 g/t AgEq over 15.2m, and drill hole 25-ERRC-51 intersected 171.8 g/t AgEq over 4.6m and 175.7 g/t AgEq over 3.0m.Figure 3: Cross section, drill hole 25-ERRC-48To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/290837_b53d9c3614b469a4_004full.jpgDrilling at the Jesus Maria Silver Trend east of the Peñoles Fault continued to indicate that this area consists of multiple, sub-parallel zones of silver mineralization with strong silver grades. Drill hole 25-ERRC-44 intersected multiple zones of silver mineralization, over broad widths with higher-grade cores. Results include 256.3 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, within a broader zone of 181.3 g/t AgEq over 4.6m and 138 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 63.5 g/t AgEq over 9.1m, as well as 117.3 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 78.8 g/t AgEq over 4.6m. RC drilling in 2026 is focusing on this area, and has continued to build out this zone to the east, as well as testing additional trends to the north.Evidence of Strong Silver Mineralization at Depth at the Jesus Maria Silver TrendGiven that the Cruz de Plata project is an intermediate sulphidation epithermal system, and that these systems have the potential for strong vertical continuity, there is an interesting opportunity for silver mineralized zones to widen at depth. Both drill hole 25-ERRC-52 and previously reported drill hole 25-ERRC-38 (see Figures 2 and 4) illustrate this opportunity, with broad silver mineralized zones intersecting multiple veins with higher silver grades being encountered at depth.Thus far, the average hole depth for the 2025 program is 188m with a median depth of 173m, indicating that the majority of the drilling at Cruz de Plata is still relatively shallow, and remains open to expansion at depth. One of the key objectives of the 60,000m drill campaign that has been announced for 2026 is to extend silver mineralization to depth along the Company's most advanced target, The Jesus Maria Silver Trend.

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/290837_b53d9c3614b469a4_005full.jpgDiscovery of New Gold ZoneDrill hole 25-JMRC-27 intersected a new zone of gold mineralization over significant widths. Results include 0.44 g/t Au over 24.4m, with additional gold mineralization intersected by drill hole 25-JMRC-28. This style of gold mineralization has been documented in the footwall where Jesus Maria intersects the Gully Fault. While not a focus of the program at this time, this new gold zone could present additional optionality for the Company due to its proximity to the Capitan Hill oxide gold deposit, where the Company delineated a pit-constrained inferred Mineral Resource of 525,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 0.4 g/t Au (see Capitan news release dated December 5, 2025).Change of Analytical LaboratoryThe Company also reports that it has engaged SGS Canada to be the primary laboratory for all drill hole and surface samples going forward. This decision ensures that all sample preparation and analysis remain in Mexico, within 3 hours of the project site. This shift is expected to help significantly streamline the analysis sequence, resulting in faster turnaround times as the 2026 drilling program continues to ramp-up.

AgEq considers Ag, Au, Pb and Zn and calculated as follows: AgEq = Ag g/t + (80x Au g/t) + (0.003 x Pb g/t) + (0.0037 x Zn g/t). High grades have not been capped. RC Drill samples have been analysed by Bureau Veritas using the following codes: MA300, 4-acid digestion, multi-element analysis (Vancouver Lab). Au is analyzed using Fire Assay (FA430, Hermosillo Lab). Overlimit (>200 ppm Ag) assays utilize method MA370, with gravimetric utilized for any overlimit thereafter. RC Drill samples have also been sent to SGS labs in Durango for Fire assay and Four-acid Multi-element analysis using the following codes: GE-FAA30V6 and GEICP40Q12, with over assays using the following codes: GO_FAG37V for Au and Ag. QAQC: Capitan Silver maintains a rigorous QAQC program and inserts multiple standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream at regular intervals. Check Assays will be performed at ALS laboratories in Zacatecas, Mexico. True widths along the Jesús María Trend are estimated to be 70-90% of the drilled width. At new drill targets/discoveries, true widths are unknown. Intervals are calculated at a 25 g/t AgEq cut-off and are cut at a maximum of 3 metres of internal dilution. Some numbers may not sum correctly due to rounding.Qualified PersonThe scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Marc Idziszek, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration of Capitan, and a "qualified person" (with the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects).About Capitan Silver Corp.Capitan Silver is defining a new high-grade silver system at its Cruz de Plata project, located in the heart of Mexico's primary silver belt.

Capitan Silver Announces Arrival of 3rd Drill Rig at the Cruz de Plata ProjectMarch 11, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report that a third drill rig has arrived on site and has commenced drilling at the Company's Cruz de Plata silver-gold project in Durango, Mexico. The newly arrived core rig joins a reverse circulation ("RC") rig and core rig that are already drilling on the property.Highlights:Drilling activity continues to ramp up as the third (3rd) of four (4) rigs has arrived at Cruz de PlataThis new rig will be the second (2nd) of three (3) diamond (core) drill rigs that will join the existing RC drill rig that has been drilling on the property since March 2025The additional rigs are part of an aggressive 60,000-metre drilling campaign for 2026All three new diamond drill rigs will focus on testing and expanding the high-grade silver zones identified to date at Cruz de Plata in addition to testing mineralization at depth along the Jesus Maria Silver TrendCatalysts: 34 drill holes pending final assays, which includes the first 7 core holes drilled with the first diamond drill rig since arriving to site in February 2026 (see Capitan news release dated February 9, 2026)Capitan has commenced an aggressive 60,000-metre drilling campaign at its Cruz de Plata project for 2026, which represents the largest drill program in the Company's history and four times (4x) the size of the Company's 2025 drill program. The new core rig is the second of three (3) core rigs that are planned to arrive at the property. This core rig will be targeting high-grade silver mineralization on the western end of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, including the Gully Fault Zone, central portions of the Jesus Maria vein, and beneath portions of Capitan Hill, and will focus on extending the mineralized envelope deeper, while providing more information about mineralization intersected in previously reported drill holes 21-JMRC-01, 21-JMRC-10, and JM-DDH-13-06 (see Figure 1, Target C).Testing Priority Targets in Three Main AreasWhile the newly arrived core rig's immediate focus will be testing high-grade targets to expand mineralization deeper at Target C, the first core rig that arrived at the property (see Capitan news release dated February 9, 2026) is currently focusing on expanding the recently defined high-grade zone proximal to the Peñoles Fault on the western side (see Figure 1, Target A). It is targeting mineralization both at depth and down plunge of previously reported holes 25-ERRC-12, 26, 34, and 38. The RC rig has been relocated from Target A and is now working east of the Peñoles Fault, where drilling has returned broad silver intervals, notably in holes 25-ERRC-20, 25-ERRC-32, and 25-ERRC-43 (see Figure 1, Target B). This is another new high-grade zone that is developing and has been interpreted to contain multiple subparallel zones of silver mineralization that remain at an early stage of exploration, with only widely spaced, shallow drilling having taken place. Drilling on Target B will focus on testing continuity of mineralization at surface and exploring for additional high-grade silver mineralization east of the Peñoles Fault toward the San Rafael area.Figure 1: Cruz de Plata drill plan mapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

High grades have not been capped. RC Drill samples have been analysed by Bureau Veritas using the following codes: MA300, 4-acid digestion, multi-element analysis (Vancouver Lab). Au is analyzed using Fire Assay (FA430, Durango Lab). Overlimit (>200 ppm Ag) assays utilize method MA370, with gravimetric utilized for any overlimit thereafter. RC Drill samples have also been sent to SGS labs in Durango for Fire assay and Four-acid Multi-element analysis using the following codes: GE-FAA30V6 and GEICP40Q12, with over assays using the following codes: GO_FAG37V for Au and Ag. QAQC: Capitan Silver maintains a rigorous QAQC program and inserts multiple standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream at regular intervals. Check Assays are performed at SGS laboratories in Durango, Mexico. True widths along the Jesús María Trend are estimated to be 70-90% of the drilled width. At new drill targets/discoveries, true widths are unknown. Intervals are calculated at a 25 g/t AgEq cut-off and are cut at a maximum of 3 metres of internal dilution. Some numbers may not sum correctly due to rounding. All drillholes reported herein use the following recoveries: Ag 94%, Au 86%, Pb 93.5%, Zn 92%. Note: Drillholes reported on a AgEq basis released prior to May 31st 2023, referenced on the company website, did not use a metal recovery.

NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report assay results from its 2025 reverse circulation ("RC") drill program at its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. The Company is reporting assay results from nine (9) drill holes.Highlights:Drilling at Cruz de Plata returned one of Capitan's best intercepts to date; the new high-grade zone that is developing along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend proximal to the Peñoles Fault continues to grow both down-dip and along section, delivering multiple high-grade hitsDrill hole 25-ERRC-38 intersected four (4) separate high-grade structures, including 2,451.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 1,283.4 g/t AgEq over 4.6m, occurring within a broader zone of 683.6 g/t AgEq over 9.1mDrill hole 25-ERRC-38 also intersected 1,187 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 194.3 g/t AgEq over 16.8mDrill hole 25-ERRC-38 provides increased confidence in continuity of mineralization, extending mineralization down-dip along section between 35m to 80m from previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-34Previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-34 intersected 1,130.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 240.5 g/t AgEq over 25.9m (see Capitan news release dated February 2, 2026)Drill hole 25-ERRC-42 extends the new high-grade silver mineralized zone approximately 10m to 20m to the east of previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-26Drill hole 25-ERRC-42 returned multiple high-grade intervals >200 g/t AgEq, including 476.4 g/t AgEq over 1.5m and 419.8 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 152 g/t AgEq over 12.2mPreviously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-26 intersected two sizeable zones (see Capitan news release dated November 11, 2025):The Upper Zone returned 612.9 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 155.9 g/t AgEq over 6.1mThe Lower Zone intersected 1,767.4 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 1,222.1 g/t AgEq over 3m, which is part of a wider interval of 234.2 g/t AgEq over 25.9mSilver mineralization extended along the eastern end of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend both at depth and along strikeDrill hole 25-ERRC-43 intersected multiple broad intervals of silver equivalent mineralization, including 225.3 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within 12.2m of 59.3 g/t AgEqDrill hole 25-ERRC-43 was collared 50m to the southeast of previously announced high-grade hits from drill holes 25-ERRC-20 and 25-ERRC-32Previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-20 intersected 1,541 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader interval of 201.65 g/t AgEq over 18.3m, while drill hole 25-ERRC-32 (down-dip from 25-ERRC-20) intersected 1,254.8 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 157.3 g/t AgEq over 16.8m (see Capitan news releases dated October 14, 2025 and February 10, 2026, respectively)Diamond drilling continues to ramp-up on the propertyThe first diamond drill rig has arrived on site and is currently focused on extending the new high-grade silver zone which is developing at the Jesus Maria Trend proximal to the Peñoles FaultAn additional two (2) diamond drill rigs are expected to arrive at Cruz de Plata in the coming weeks and will target several priority drill targets in addition to testing deeper mineralization along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend Catalysts: Final assays pending for 24 drill holesAlberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:"The drill results from Cruz de Plata continue to impress me. With a modest amount of drilling from the 2025 program, we have identified two additional high-grade silver zones that are developing along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend proximal to the Peñoles Fault (on either side of the Fault), which continue to highlight the richness of the robust silver system at Cruz de Plata. Today's announcement not only delivered one of the highest-grade drill results on the property, but it also highlights the continuity of these new high-grade zones, particularly the one that is developing on the western side of the Peñoles Fault. We have commenced our diamond drill program, with the first holes targeting this new high-grade zone. I'm excited to see core from this target and the results as we start to test at depth."Figure 1: Drill Plan MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/285439_805fcd6fa43e3be0_002full.jpgDiscussion of Drill ResultsTowards the end of 2025, drilling continued to focus on expanding the new high-grade silver mineralized zone that is developing on the western side of the Peñoles Fault along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend (see 'A' on Figure 1). Early stage drilling focused on evaluating the distribution and continuity of a second new high-grade silver mineralized zone that is developing on the eastern side of the Peñoles Fault as it expands eastward towards the San Rafael area (see 'B' on Figure 1).Drill hole 25-ERRC-38 returned high-grade silver mineralization at depth, expanding the zone between 35 metres to 80 metres along section, where it was targeting the high-grade zone proximal to the Peñoles Fault (see Figure 2). The hole returned multiple high-grade intervals, including a: Lower zone: consisting of three separate high-grade intercepts:2,451.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 683.6 g/t AgEq over 9.1m;1,187 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 194.3 g/t AgEq over 16.8m; and347.6 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 107 g/t AgEq over 6.1m; and anUpper zone: intersecting 449.3 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 251.7 g/t AgEq over 6.1mFigure 2: Cross-Section, Drill hole 25-ERRC-38To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/285439_805fcd6fa43e3be0_003full.jpgAdditional drilling along the new high-grade zone on the western side of the Peñoles Fault returned significant grades. Drill hole 25-ERRC-47 returned 469.9 g/t AgEq over 1.5m and extended mineralization at depth, along section between 30m to 40m. Drill hole 25-ERRC-42 also returned multiple high-grade hits, including: 168 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, as well as 476.4 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, and 419.8 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, both of which were within a wider interval of 152.0 g/t AgEq over 12.2m. This hole expanded the high-grade zone towards the east between 10m to 20m. Drilling in this area is continuing in 2026, with the first diamond core rig targeting the expansion of this new high-grade silver zone at depth.Figure 3: Cross-Section, Drill hole 25-ERRC-42To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/285439_805fcd6fa43e3be0_004full.jpgAt the second new developing high-grade zone on the eastern side of the Peñoles Fault (see 'B' on Figure 1), drill hole 25-ERRC-43 was designed to target the high-grade results returned in previously announced drill holes 25-ERRC-20 and 25-ERRC-32. Drill hole 25-ERRC-20 intersected 1,541 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader interval of 201.65 g/t AgEq over 18.3m, while drill hole 25-ERRC-32 (down-dip from 25-ERRC-20) intersected 1,254.8 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 157.3 g/t AgEq over 16.8m (see Capitan news releases dated October 14, 2025 and February 10, 2026, respectively). Drill hole 25-ERRC-43 was collared approximately 50m to the southeast of the projected on-strike and down-dip extension of the high-grade intervals returned in these holes. Drill hole 25-ERRC-43 was successful in expanding mineralization down-dip and on-strike to the east, returning multiple, broad silver zones, including 225.3 AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 59.3 g/t AgEq over 12.2m. This new high-grade zone that is developing on the eastern side of the Peñoles Fault area has been interpreted to contain multiple subparallel zones of silver mineralization that remain at an early stage of exploration, with only widely spaced, shallow drilling having taken place. All zones remain open down-dip and along strike to the east, with 2026 RC drilling targeting areas identified thus far, as well as untested areas of historical workings to the north. Drilling in 2025 along the western defined limits of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend (west of the Gully Fault, see 'C' on Figure 1), targeted the down-dip expansion of historic, shallow core drilling that returned silver polymetallic mineralization. Three drill holes targeted the expansion of mineralization at depth, along section, with all three returning silver mineralization and expanding the zone to depth. The best results include drill hole 25-JMRC-31, which returned 384.9 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 150 g/t AgEq over 4.6m, and drill hole 25-JMRC-32, which intersected 128.4 g/t AgEq over 3m, within a wider interval of 71.1 g/t AgEq over 13.7m. This zone remains open to expansion to the west, towards the Jesus Maria northwest prospect as well as down-dip. Table 1: Drill ResultsHole IDFrom (m)To

Capitan Silver Intersects 1,833 g/t Silver Equivalent over 1.5 M Within a Broader Zone of 340 g/t Silver Equivalent over 21.3 M at the New High-Grade Silver Zone at Cruz De PlataFebruary 10, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileCapitan Silver reports high-grade silver mineralization in multiple drill holesVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 10, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report assay results from its 2025 reverse circulation ("RC") drill program at its flagship Cruz de Plata silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. The Company is reporting assay results from nine (9) drill holes.Highlights:Drilling at Capitan's Cruz de Plata Project continues to intersect high-grade silver mineralization in step-out drilling, while expanding a new high-grade zone at the Jesus Maria Silver Trend west of the Peñoles FaultDrill hole 25-ERRC-37 intersected 1,833.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 340.4 g/t AgEq over 21.3m at the new high-grade zone proximal to the Peñoles FaultNew high-grade silver intercept extends mineralization of the Jesus Maria Silver Trend on the north-easterly side (offset) of the Peñoles FaultDrill hole 25-ERRC-32 intersected 1,254.8 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 157.3 g/t AgEq over 16.8m, down-dip from previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-20Previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-20 intersected 1,541 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader interval of 201.65 g/t AgEq over 18.3m (see news release of Capitan dated October 14, 2025)Additional silver mineralization intersected at the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, east of the Peñoles fault, extending mineralization up-dipDrill hole SRRC-06 intersected 381.4 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within 153.6 g/t AgEq over 4.6m at the San Rafael target areaBoth drill holes SRRC-06 and SRRC-07 extended known mineralization up-dip, approximately 200m toward surfaceSecond drill rig recently arrived at Cruz de Plata: Capitan ramped up drilling capacity at the property by adding a second drill rig. The newly arrived core rig joins the RC rig currently drilling at Cruz de Plata (see news release of Capitan dated February 9, 2026)Catalysts: Final assays pending for 24 drill holesAlberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:"We are continuing to see high-grade silver, as mineralized zones expand and our pipeline of targets grows within the Jesus Maria Silver Trend. Cruz de Plata is a large-scale system, and while meaningful step-outs have delivered strong results, our drilling to date has been relatively shallow. Now, with our first core rig on site, we are ready to test this system at depth-and take the next step in unlocking its full potential."Figure 1: Cruz de Plata project plan mapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:
https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/283384_a397b3ed84dd9b8c_002full.jpgDiscussion of Drill ResultsDrilling in 2025 continued to test high priority targets including the new high-grade silver zones that are developing both east and west of the Peñoles Fault. The focus continued to be extending high-grade zones of mineralization to depth and increasing confidence in the continuity of high-grade shoots within those areas. The Company continues to build confidence in the continuity of the 3.7km silver trend. Drill hole 25-ERRC-37 intersected multiple high-grade zones below drill hole 25-JMRC-35, extending mineralization down-dip ranging from 20m to 80m. This high-grade shoot has now been drilled over a strike length of approximately 140m east-west by 220m down-dip and remains open at depth.Drill hole 25-ERRC-32 extended the high-grade zone approximately 10m down-dip from drill hole 25-ERRC-20 and continues to confirm continuity of mineralization. Additional step-out holes are planned, and the zone remains open at depth and along strike to the northeast.Figure 2: Drill hole 25-ERRC- 35 and 37 cross sectionsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/283384_a397b3ed84dd9b8c_004full.jpgAdditional widely-spaced, shallow drilling at new targets and expansion zones continue to return >100 g/t AgEq intervals, confirming that broad zones of mineralization contain higher-grade cores. Drilling along the eastern portion of the main 3.7 km Jesus Maria Silver Trend continues to return multiple sub-parallel zones of silver mineralization that exhibits strong continuity both along strike and down-dip. Drill holes 25-SRRC-05, 06 and 07 were designed as a fence to test an area of mineralization that returned silver grades between 50 and 2,083 g/t AgEq from surface sampling (see Figure 4). Results show that silver mineralization in this area is widespread, with best results returned including 381.4 g/t AgEq over 1.5m in drill hole 25-SRRC-06 and 152.68 g/t AgEq over 3.0m from drill hole 25-SRRC-07. Drilling at San Rafael is still at an early stage, with follow up drilling planned to be at tighter spacing as well as step-outs at depth, to define the orientation and controls on higher-grade zones.Figure 4: Drill hole 25-SRRC-06, 07 cross sectionsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 9, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report that a second drill rig has arrived on site and has commenced drilling at the Company's Cruz de Plata silver-gold project in Durango, Mexico. The newly arrived core rig joins a reverse circulation ("RC") rig that is already drilling on the property.An aggressive 60,000-metre drill program is planned for Capitan's Cruz de Plata project in 2026. This will be the largest drill program in the Company's history and four times (4x) the size of Capitan's 2025 drill program. The second rig is one of three (3) core rigs that are planned to arrive at the property and will be used to test high-priority targets with the goal of extending advanced high-grade mineralized zones along the Jesus Maria Silver Trend, which also includes the Gully Fault and Peñoles Fault targets (see Figure 1 below).The core rig's immediate focus will be on expanding the newly defined high-grade zone which was discovered proximal to the Peñoles fault. It will target mineralization both at depth and down plunge of previously reported holes 25-ERRC-12, 26 and 34.Drill hole 25-ERRC-12 (see Capitan news release dated September 2, 2025)25-ERRC-12 intersected 2,636 g/t Ag over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 1,400 g/t Ag over 4.6m, occurring within a broader zone of 370.2 g/t Ag over 19.8m Drill hole 25-ERRC-26 (see Capitan news release dated November 11, 2025)Upper zone: intersected 612.9 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 155.9 g/t AgEq over 6.1mLower zone: intersected 1,767.4 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 1,222.1 g/t AgEq over 3m, which is part of a wider interval of 234.2 g/t AgEq over 25.9mDrill hole 25-ERRC-34 (see Capitan news release dated February 2, 2026)25-ERRC-34 intersected 1,130.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 240.5 g/t AgEq over 25.9mFigure 1: Cruz de Plata drill plan mapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

Capitan Silver Intersects 1,130.1 g/t Silver Equivalent over 1.5 Metres, Within a Wider Zone of 240.5 g/t Silver Equivalent over 25.9 Metres at the Cruz De Plata ProjectFebruary 2, 2026 7:00 AM
NewsfileVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2026) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report assay results from its 2025 reverse circulation ("RC") drill program at its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. The Company is reporting assay results from eight (8) drill holes.Highlights:Drilling at Capitan's Cruz de Plata silver-gold project continues to intersect high-grade mineralization, increasing continuity and confidence in a new high-grade zoneDrill hole 25-ERRC-34 intersected 1,130.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 240.5 g/t AgEq over 25.9mDrill hole 25-ERRC-36, a down-dip, step-out hole from previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-26, intersected multiple intervals including 306.6 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, and 223.6 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, extending mineralization from 60 to 90m down-dipPreviously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-26, intersected multiple zones of silver mineralization. The lower zone intersected 1,767 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 234.2 g/t AgEq over 25.9m (see news release of Capitan dated November 11, 2025)Drill hole 25-ERRC-46 intersected 692.4 g/t AgEq over 1.5m and 404.6 g/t AgEq over 1.5m within a broader interval of 18.3m of 122.3 g/t AgEq. Drill hole 25-ERRC-46 extended the mineralized zone below previously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-21 by 50m down-dipPreviously announced drill hole 25-ERRC-21 intersected multiple zones of silver mineralization. The upper zone intersected 710.5 g/t AgEq over 1.5m and 353 AgEq g/t over 1.5m, within a wider zone of 292.4 g/t AgEq over 6.1m (see news release of Capitan dated November 11, 2025)This new high-grade zone remains open at depth and down-plunge to the south and southeast, and has been traced to approximately 220m down-dip from surfaceNew Discovery - Encarnación Zone: Drill hole 25-ERRC-29 intersected a new silver zone, southeast of the Peñoles Fault zone and 250m to the southeast of the Jesús María Silver Trend2026 drilling program underway: On January 20, 2026, the Company announced that it had commenced a 60,000-metre multi-rig program at Cruz de PlataAdditional rig: The first of three core rigs has been mobilized and is expected to join the existing RC rig on site within the next weekCatalysts: Final assays pending for 33 drill holesAlberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:"We are increasingly encouraged by what our drill results are showing at Cruz de Plata. Not only are we continuing to extend the Jesús María vein, we are also identifying additional veins along the broader trend that merit follow-up drilling. With each hole, our understanding of the scale and potential of the system continues to improve, and our belief is becoming clearer that Cruz de Plata hosts a large, well-developed mineralized system.Importantly, the high-grade zones first identified in drill holes 25-ERRC-12 and 25-ERRC-26 continue to expand, with results such as hole 25-ERRC-34 demonstrating that these higher-grade shoots remain open and are growing with continued drilling.Looking ahead, we expect increased news flow through early 2026. With 33 completed drill holes from our 2025 drill program steadily being returned from the assay lab, we anticipate a meaningful pickup in results and look forward to keeping the market updated as we continue to advance and grow this high-grade silver-gold system."Figure 1: Drill plan mapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

Discussion of drill resultsIn 2025, drilling included targets within the Jesús María trend with a focus on extending known zones of mineralization to depth and confirming the continuity of high-grade zones. A special area of interest was near the intersection of the Jesús María Silver Trend and the Peñoles Fault. Drill holes 25-ERRC-34, 36 and 46 targeted this area, with drill hole 25-ERRC-34 targeting the region between drill holes 25-ERRC-12 and 26, while drill holes 36 and 46 were designed to test the continuity of this zone down-dip from drill holes 25-ERRC-26 and 21, respectively (see figure 1). All drill holes intersected broad zones of silver mineralization, with embedded high-grade cores, consistent with previous drilling earlier in the program. Drill hole 25-ERRC-34 was able to confirm the continuity of high-grade silver mineralization between drill holes 25-ERRC-12 and 26, returning 1,130.1 g/t AgEq over 1.5m within a wider interval of 240.5 g/t AgEq over 25.9m (see figure 2). Drill holes 25-ERRC-36 and 46 were designed as on-section step outs, to test the continuity of high-grade mineralization below drill holes 25-ERRC-26 and 21, respectively (see figures 3 and 4). Both drill holes returned multiple zones of high-grade silver mineralization with drill hole 25-ERRC-46 returning 692.4 g/t AgEq and 404.6 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 122.3 g/t AgEq over 18.3m, while drill hole 25-ERRC-36 returned 223.6 g/t AgEq over 3.0m and 306.6 g/t AgEq over 1.5m. Both holes were able to extend high-grade silver mineralization down-dip between 50m and 90m, respectively. These results expand the new high-grade silver area in the Jesús María trend near the intersection of the Peñoles Fault. This zone continues open in multiple directions. Additional drilling has targeted the expansion of this new high-grade silver zone and will be reported in the coming weeks.Figure 2: Drill hole 25-ERRC-34 cross sectionTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7373/282343_decbca0e7410ea6e_005full.jpgNew Silver Discovery: Encarnación ZoneIn addition to step-out and definition drilling along the Jesús María Trend, Capitan field crews have targeted new zones of silver mineralization that had been discovered by surface sampling. Drill holes 25-ERRC-29 and 30 targeted a new silver occurrence that has been traced on surface for over 250m, located approximately 250m to the southeast of the Jesús María, that trends northeasterly. Drill hole 25-ERRC-29 returned 90.3 g/t AgEq over 3.0m, including 133.96 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, while drill hole 25-ERRC-30 appears to have been collared too far to the north to intersect this new zone. Overall, this drilling indicates that the new zones of mineralization off the main trends have been confirmed, increasing the footprint of the silver system across the property. This new silver occurrence adds to the multiple new zones that have been discovered through both drilling and surface sampling at Cruz de Plata. Additional follow-up drilling is planned for this and other new zones. Table 1. Drill Results Hole IDFrom

AgEq considers Ag, Au, Pb and Zn and calculated as follows: AgEq = Ag g/t + (80x Au g/t) + (0.003 x Pb g/t) + (0.0037 x Zn g/t). High grades have not been capped. RC Drill samples have been analysed using the following codes: MA300, 4-acid digestion, multi-element analysis (Vancouver Lab). Au is analyzed using Fire Assay (FA430, Durango Lab). Overlimit (>200 ppm Ag) assays utilize method MA370, with gravimetric utilized for any overlimit thereafter. QAQC: Capitan Silver maintains a rigorous QAQC program and inserts multiple standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream at regular intervals. Check Assays are performed at SGS laboratories in Durango, Mexico. True widths along the Jesús María Trend are estimated to be 70-90% of the drilled width. At new drill targets/discoveries, true widths are unknown. Intervals are calculated at a 25 g/t AgEq cut-off and are cut at a maximum of 3 metres of internal dilution.Update to Prior DisclosureFurther to the Company's news release dated January 20, 2026 and entitled "Capitan Silver Corp.

Drilling Across Cruz de Plata Property Continuing to Deliver High-Grade Results; New Zones Emerging at Depth, Strong Mineralized Continuity Intersected, and More New Targets Identified

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 14, 2025) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to report assay results from its recently expanded and fully funded Phase One reverse circulation ("RC") 15,000 metre drill program at its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. The Company is reporting assay results from twelve (12) drillholes.

Highlights:

New high-grade silver mineralization intersected in the extension of the Jesús María vein

Drillhole 25-ERRC-20 intersected 1,541 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader interval of 201.65 g/t AgEq over 18.3m

The mineralization intersected is believed to be the continuation of the Jesús María main vein which has been offset to the north by the Peñoles Fault

Jesús María vein remains open to the east and at depth, as well as open down plunge of drillhole 25-ERRC-12 (previously released), which returned one of the highest-grade intervals to date at Cruz de Plata:

Drillhole 25-ERRC-12 intersected 2,636 g/t Ag over 1.5m, within a wider interval of 1,400 g/t Ag over 4.6m, occurring within a broader zone of 370.2 g/t Ag over 19.8m (See Capitan news release dated September 2, 2025)

Peñoles Fault emerging as a new key target: Northwest-striking Peñoles Fault emerging as a high-priority target, with evidence of enhanced mineralization open at depth, especially where the fault intersects east-west trending zones.

New high-grade east-west trending zone discovered along the Jesús María silver trend

Drillhole 25-ERRC-17 intersected 475.91 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader zone of 117.69 g/t AgEq over 7.6m proximal to the Peñoles Fault

Continued high-grade silver mineralization intersected at the Gully Fault Zone; three (3) distinct zones of mineralization identified:

Drillhole JMRC-33

Gully Fault: intersected 216.2 g/t AgEq over 13.5m, within a broader interval of 100.7 g/t AgEq over 44.2m

Jesús María: intersected 803.6 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, within a broader interval of 129.2 g/t AgEq over 22.9m

Capitan Silver Identifies New High-Priority Targets at Cruz De Plata and Provides Property Update
Newsfile
October 1, 2025

Newly Consolidated Land Package Transforms High-Grade Silver Trend into Regional-Scale Mineral System

Highlights:

Mineralized system at the Cruz de Plata ("CDP") project is significantly larger than previously outlined.

Cumulative silver-mineralized vein structures have grown to more than 20km from 7km (previously announced on May 24, 2023). These structures have been identified from surface sampling and mapping on the newly consolidated land package.

A large granodiorite intrusion identified to the north of the main Jésus María trend is a key feature for locating mineralization at Cruz de Plata, with the main silver trend now found to wrap around the intrusion on its western and northern contact within the folded sedimentary package.

All known lithologies at the CDP project contain precious and base metal mineralization.

Six (6) new priority targets identified and being advanced to the drill-ready stage.

Property-wide geophysical survey commissioned and should be completed by Q1 2026.

Assays pending for 38 reverse-circulation ("RC") drill holes with additional holes being drilled every week.

Fully Funded Phase 1 Drill Program expanded by 50% to 15,000m.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2025) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update for its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico. The Company reported today that a surface exploration campaign on the newly acquired 2,171-hectare strategic land package (See Company press release dated August 22, 2025) has identified several new high-priority targets and high-grade mineral showings that include significant extensions to known mineral structures, which the Company is now advancing to the drill-ready stage.

These discoveries are significant as they validate management's thesis that the hydrothermal system at Cruz de Plata is much larger than what was previously known, with the mineral footprint and structures now shown to extend several kilometres to the north of the current limits of the 2025 drill program. A key takeaway is that mineralization is observed to be hosted within all known geological units identified at Cruz de Plata, further increasing the potential for new targets, and increasing the potential of the property.

Alberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented: "The continued growth and evolution of Cruz de Plata has been tremendously exciting for the Company. What began as a handful of isolated silver targets has expanded into a much larger mineralized system. The new detailed geological map and surface sampling highlights how robust the Cruz de Plata system can be, while immediately giving us multiple new targets to aggressively move to a drill-ready stage. We would also like to announce that we are upsizing our Phase One Drill Program by 50%, for a total of 15,000 metres, which is fully funded.

2025 Drilling Program Discovers New High-Grade Silver Zone and Expands Jesús María Mineralization 150 Metres to the East

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 2, 2025) - Capitan Silver Corp. (TSXV: CAPT) ("Capitan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from eleven (11) of the first twelve drillholes of its planned Phase One 10,000 metre drill program at its Cruz de Plata ("CDP") silver-gold project, located in Durango, Mexico.

Highlights:

Hole 25-ERRC-12 returned one of the highest-grade intervals to date at Cruz de Plata:

2,636 g/t Ag over 1.5 m, within a wider interval of 1,400 g/t Ag over 4.6 m, occurring within a broader zone of 370.2 g/t Ag over 19.8 m

Hole 25-ERRC-12 also expands the Jesús María zone 150 m to the east, along strike, and toward surface

New high-grade mineralized zone discovered north of Jesús María Target:

Hole 25-ERRC-08 intersected 456 g/t Ag over 1.52 m and 382.0 g/t Ag over 1.52 m, both within a broader zone of 109.4 g/t Ag over 16.8 m

Additional Jesús María Drill Highlights:

Hole 25-ERRC-10 intersected 502.0 g/t Ag over 1.52 m within a broader zone of 316.3 g/t Ag over 3.0 m

Hole 25-ERRC-09 intersected 427 g/t Ag over 1.52 m within a broader zone of 79.0 g/t Ag over 13.7 m

An additional 30 RC drillholes have been completed with assay results pending

Alberto Orozco, CEO of Capitan Silver, commented:

"I am encouraged by the early success of our 2025 drill program at Cruz de Plata. The Company had two main objectives at the outset of this campaign: to extend existing mineralization and identify new high-grade mineralized zones, and I am pleased to report that we've already not only extended the Jesús Maria silver zone to the east but also uncovered a brand-new high-grade zone – all within the first twelve drillholes."

Mr. Orozco concluded, "I want to commend our exploration team for their efforts in achieving these objectives so rapidly. These robust results provide fresh evidence of the strength and scale of the project's high-grade silver system. With the Cruz de Plata property now fully consolidated, we have a larger, more prospective land package and a clear path to generating and testing new targets. I look forward to continuing to update the market on further developments."

2025 Drill Program Update

Capitan's planned Phase One 10,000 m drill program at the Cruz de Plata project has been steadily advancing since March 2025, with

6,700 m and 41 reverse-circulation ("RC") holes completed to date. The program has focused primarily on the Jesús María silver trend, especially the underexplored eastern portion where little historic work had been done.

Discussion

Confirms Continuity High Grade Silver Mineralization at Depth

Hole 21-JMRC-03 was designed to target one of two high-grade ore shoots nested in the Jesus Maria Silver Zone, that outcrop at surface, and have been delineated by both surface trenching and drilling. The first ore shoot was intersected by hole 21-JMRC-01 (previously released), located 100m to the west of 21-JMRC-03, which returned 1.5m of 1,352 g/t AgEq and 1.5m of 1,177 AgEq within a wider interval of 42.7m of 224.3 g/t AgEq. Hole 21-JMRC-03 intersected the second high-grade shoot at 79.2m downhole, returning 435.02 g/t AgEq over 10.7m, including three high-grade intervals of 798.29 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, 860.19 g/t AgEq over 1.5m, and 641 g/t AgEq over 1.5m. The hole successfully extended high-grade mineralization 40m down plunge from drillhole JM_DDH_12_06 located to the east. This high-grade zone remains open down plunge to the southwest. Cross section 600 (Fig. 2) where hole 21-JMRC-03 is located, had no previous drilling. Figure 1 shows the drill map of the project and location for hole 21-JMRC-03 and cross section 600.

New Gold-Silver Zone Discovered

Additionally, a new zone of gold-silver mineralization was discovered to the north of the Jesus Maria Silver Zone, with Au-Ag (Capitan Style) mineralization intersected at 164.6m downhole, approximately 50m to the north of the Jesus-Maria Vein. This new zone returned 13.7m of 63.28 g/t AgEq, and has been interpreted to be the northeastern extension of the Gully Fault structure, which appears to continue the north of the Jesus Maria Silver Zone. This new zone remains open along strike to the northeast.
