Blackrock Silver Announces Closing of $13.8 Million Bought Deal Public Offering; Overallotment Option Exercised in Full

Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) (FSE: AHZ0) (the "Company" or "Blackrock") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced bought deal public offering (the "Offering") of 38,334,100 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.36 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of $13,800,276, which included the full exercise of the over-allotment option.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.50 until January 30, 2027.

Anrew Pollard, President & Chief Executive Officer of Blackrock, commented: "Amidst an uncertain economic backdrop, completion of this Offering provides Blackrock with the ability to continue driving forward our flagship Tonopah West project with an expanded M&I Conversion and Resource Expansion drilling program, as we aim to deliver a resource update during Q3 2024 that will form the basis for an updated PEA. The Company will also move forward with an intensive program of base-line studies and data collection for environmental permitting. Programs for waste rock characterization, hydrology and detailed engineering will be undertaken to de-risk and advance the project towards permitting for an exploration decline and bulk sampling program. We have the ability, and now the capital, to drive Tonopah West forward quickly, and we thank all investors for their continued support as we move forward with our ambitious plan."

The Offering was led by Raymond James Ltd., as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, on behalf of a syndicate which included Red Cloud Securities Inc., Research Capital Corporation and Ventum Financial Corp. (collectively, the "Underwriters"). In connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Underwriters a cash commission of $799,184.16 and issued to the Underwriters 2,219,955 Common Share purchase warrants (the "Compensation Warrants"). Each Compensation Warrant is exercisable for one Common Share of the Company at the Issue Price per Common Share until January 30, 2027.

The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used by the Company to advance exploration and development at the Company's Tonopah West mineral project, for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

The Offering was completed pursuant to a prospectus supplement (the "Supplement") dated January 27, 2025, to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated August 4, 2023 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus"), filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada (except Québec), and in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") and applicable state securities laws and other jurisdictions. An electronic or paper copy of the Supplement and the Base Shelf Prospectus may be obtained, without charge, from Raymond James Ltd. by phone at 416-777-7000 or by e-mail at ecm-syndication@raymondjames.ca by providing Raymond James Ltd. with an email address or address, as applicable.

One insider of the Company purchased or acquired direction and control over a total of 28,000 Units under the Offering. The sale to such person constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX-V Policy 5.9 (the "Policy") and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") adopted in the Policy. The Company has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the related party participation in the offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related party, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

The securities offered have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. persons" (as such term is defined under Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
