Corporate and Project Update on the Emily Manganese Project

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWS WIRES

Nevada Silver Corporation ("NSC" or the "Company") (TSXV:NSC) is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned subsidiary North State Manganese Inc ("North Star") and the Emily Manganese Project ("Emily"). Emily is in the Cuyuna Iron Range, Crow Wing County, Minnesota and was the subject of a June 2020 NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate by Barr Engineering Company (Table 1)1

TABLE 1: NI 43-101 COMPLIANT INDICATED AND INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

Review of NI 43-101 resource drill data highlights high-grade intersections

North Star recently commissioned a review of drilling and other technical data contained within the Barr Engineering mineral resource estimate. A number of high-grade drill intersections were identified within thicker zones of mineralization2, including:

  • Drill hole VC-01-11: 33.68 meters from 70.56 meters @ 16.93% Mn
    • Including 8.99 meters @ 34.58% Mn; and
    • Including 1.07 meters @ 50.10% Mn
  • Drill hole AC-01-11: 36.88 meters from 135.02 meters @ 9.98% Mn
    • Including 7.47 meters @ 29.48% Mn; and
    • Including 1.52 meters @ 43.00% Mn
  • Drill hole AC-02-11: 19.5 meters from 70.1 meters @ 18.5% Mn
    • Including 8.84 meters @ 32.94% Mn; and
    • Including 6.10 meters @ 39.33% Mn; and
    • Including 3.05 meters @ 45.74% Mn
  • Drill hole AC-04-12: 9.0 meters from 137.2 meters @ 17.6% Mn
    • Including 4.47 meters @ 24.47% Mn (Figure 1)

A summary of intersections of the drill holes included in the Barr Engineering NI 43-01 Technical Report is contained in the appendix.

Historical metallurgical work at Emily was undertaken by Montana Tech, of the University of Montana, Coleraine Minerals Research Laboratory, Hazen Research, Inc., Outotec, USA, and Kemetco Research, Inc. North Star is presently updating the metallurgical tests performed by Kemetco on samples from the Emily deposit. Historic samples were successfully upgraded to produce MnCO3 (manganese carbonate), EMD (electrolytic manganese dioxide - MnO2) and EMM (electrolytic manganese metal - Mn) (Figure 2).

Emily is well located near regional industrial centers (iron mining and processing) with major transportation linkages (road, rail and shipping). In addition to its ownership and management rights, North Star also has exclusive surface leases and operational rights to the structures and facilities located at Emily (Figure 3).

Building A High-Purity Manganese Supply Chain In North America

It is North Star's ultimate aim is to produce high-purity manganese products for North American technology and energy markets. There are currently no producing manganese mines in the USA or Canada, and manganese is on the strategic metals list in both countries.

Manganese is a critical component to the lithium-ion battery (Li-B) supply chain, being used in two of the most prominent batteries in production, i.e., Nickel Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) and Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries. Within LMO batteries, there is approximately 61% manganese in the cathode, while in the NMC battery, manganese constitutes 20-30% of the total cathode material3. BASF recently unveiled ambitious plans to boost investment in battery cathode active materials (CAM), including a new family of manganese-rich products. Volkswagen and Tesla have each announced plans to mass produce a new battery that requires a high proportion of manganese with no cobalt (Tesla at ~ 33% Mn, and VW over 50% Mn)4.

"We believe the high-purity manganese market will be driven by the demand for these specialized products over the next decade" commented NSC's CEO Gary Lewis. "This is line with the North Star's aspiration to capture significant value of the supply chain for high-purity manganese products, from raw material extraction and product upgrading, through chemical processing and high-purity manganese sales in the North American marketplace."

Corporate update

The Company is continuing to assess options for the commercialization of the Emily Manganese Project to the benefit of NSC shareholders. Alternatives under investigation include potential joint venture arrangements and / or the spinning-out of North Star into a standalone listed entity. NSC will provide a further update early in the new year.

Analyst Report Highlights Major Upside in Cobre’s Botswana Copper Play

Description

Cobre Limited (ASX:CBE) is gaining attention for its expansive exploration efforts across highly prospective copper and quartz tenements in Botswana and Western Australia. A recent report by Independent Investment Research (IIR) highlights Cobre’s growing potential in the copper sector, especially within the underexplored yet mineral-rich Kalahari Copper Belt.

Key Highlights from the IIR report:

Botswana: High-grade Copper in Elephant Country

At the core of Cobre’s portfolio is its 100 percent owned Kalahari copper project (KCP) in northwestern Botswana, an emerging global copper hotspot. The project spans 5,393 sq km across four key tenement blocks – Ngami, Okavango, Kitlanya East and Kitlanya West. It sits adjacent to major producing assets owned by Sandfire Resources and MMG, which together hold 7 million tonnes of copper and nearly 300 million ounces of silver in resources.

Silver Reserves: Top 5 Countries

Silver investors are usually interested in which countries produce the most ounces of the metal.

After all, if a nation is producing an abundance of the white metal, many mining companies are likely operating there, and profitable investment opportunities may be available.

However, it’s also worth looking at silver reserves, which are a country’s economically mineable silver supply. In general, the world’s largest global silver producers also have high silver reserves that are worth learning about, but some countries with high silver reserves are not mining much of the metal.

Where there’s room to grow silver mine supply, there may be money to be made as well. For that reason, precious metals investors should also be aware of which countries may eventually become silver supply powerhouses.

First Majestic Announces Second Gold-Silver Discovery Within a Year at Santa Elena and Expands High-Grade Mineralization at Navidad

First Majestic Announces Second Gold-Silver Discovery Within a Year at Santa Elena and Expands High-Grade Mineralization at Navidad

Santo Niño: A New Gold-Silver Discovery Confirmed 900 Metres South of the Santa Elena Plant.
Navidad: Drilling Expands the Mineral Deposit Footprint and Returns Higher-Grade Gold and Silver.

First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: AG) (FSE: FMV) (the "Company" or "First Majestic") is pleased to report a second significant discovery of vein-hosted gold and silver mineralization within a year at the Santa Elena property in Sonora, Mexico, and to share additional positive drilling results from the Navidad discovery. The near surface, newly identified Santo Niño vein, located approximately one kilometre south of the Santa Elena mine, marks a significant addition to the district. Resource addition and resource conversion drilling at the Navidad Discovery - completed after maiden Inferred Resource estimate declaration (see news release dated March 31, 2025 substantially increased the size of the mineralized area and several holes returned higher than average grades for the deposit. With the additions of Navidad and Santo Niño, the Santa Elena property now hosts four significant gold-silver deposits: Santa Elena, Ermitaño, Navidad, and Santo Niño, underscoring the growing scale and potential of the district.

How to Invest in Silver: Buying Bullion, Stocks and More

For investors wondering how to invest in silver, this guide covers the basics of the top options for silver investing: buying silver bullion, silver stocks, silver ETFs and silver futures.

Silver has long been an attractive vehicle not only for storing wealth, but for generating it too. Silver bugs rave about the growth opportunities to be had in a price rally. However, what goes up must come down, and the silver market is prone to deep dives, providing buying opportunities.

Investing in silver and gold is similar, but the nuances of both merit learning about them individually. Silver often trades similarly to fellow precious metal gold, meaning its significantly lower price point offers investors a more affordable method for hedging against volatility. Silver also has growing industrial demand from clean energy and electrification sectors.

Check out our beginner's guide to silver investing below, including links to in-depth guides and silver stock and ETF lists for when you're ready to go deeper.
