Rio Silver Completes Sale of Palta Dorada Ag-Au Property, Peru

Rio Silver Completes Sale of Palta Dorada Ag-Au Property, Peru

Rio Silver Inc. (TSXV:RYO) ("Rio Silver" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has received the balance of the $250,000 US cash required for the sale of its 50% interest in the Palta Dorada Au-Ag Property, from Peruvian Metals Corp. ("Peruvian"). Additional consideration for the sale has the Company retaining a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR" or "Royalty") on the property. Total payments from the NSR will be capped at $2 million US while the Company is guaranteed US $250,000 in minimum royalty payments over the next five years.

The royalty payments due have guaranteed minimum semi-annual payments of $25,000 US payable over a five year period, commencing December 2024. Cash flow generated from the Palta Dorada Royalty could potentially exceed the minimum semi-annual royalty payment amount, as Peruvian advances a bulk sampling campaign at Palta Dorada, expected to commence Q1 2025 and augmented by its proximity to Peruvian Metals' Aguila Norte Processing Plant.

The Company is also pleased to announce that following minor delays in the permitting cycle, it remains confident that it will be in receipt of full permission from MEM (Ministry of Energy and Mines, Peru) during Q4, 2024, for a Diamond Drilling program at the Jorimina project. Jorimina is a prominently mineralized zone, hosting gold, silver and copper and forming the western flank of the Company's flagship, Niñobamba Ag-Au target, in south-central Peru.

Chris Verrico, Chief Executive Officer of Rio Silver commented: "The sale of our 50% interest in Palta Dorada to Peruvian Metals provides the Company with a significant NSR (Net Smelter Royalty) enabling us to focus on our Ninobamba project. Peruvian is now able to finance it's 100% consolidated ownership of the Palta Dorada property enabling a fast-track development plan which could augment Rio Silver's, highly valuable, 3% royalty stream. This non-dilutive cash source (royalty stream) will aid the Company's exploration and development of its flagship Niñobamba Au-Ag and Jorimina properties located in the highly productive and under explored Ayacucho Silver – Gold belt in south-central Peru and continue on where Newmont had left off. Newmont had discovered Jorimina, and in an internal preliminary feasibility study concluded, in a 2012 report, that Jorimina has significant potential, significant enough to support a robust mid-sized mining enterprise with the further potential of becoming something much larger, due to the proximity of a mineralizing porphyry source. Our 100% ownership of the Niñobamba/Jorimina properties will propel Rio Silver's advancement amongst Peru's most notable precious metal developers."
