Following its business combination with Summa Silver, Silver47 Exploration is now uniquely positioned as a leading US-focused silver explorer and developer. With a diversified portfolio of high-grade silver projects in Alaska, Nevada and New Mexico, and an inferred resource base of over 236 million ounces of silver equivalent, the company offers significant exposure to rising silver demand amid a projected global supply deficit.
Silver47 Exploration (TSXV:AGA,OTCQB:AAGAF) is a US-centric silver company with a portfolio of high-grade assets located in mining-friendly jurisdictions. Silver47 recently underwent a transformative merger with Summa Silver (TSXV:SSVR), positioning the combined entity as a premier US-focused high-grade silver explorer and developer.
This strategic consolidation brings together Silver47's flagship Red Mountain VMS project in Alaska with Summa's high-grade Hughes project in Nevada and Mogollon project in New Mexico.
The merger, announced on May 13, 2025, is structured as an at-market transaction, wherein Summa shareholders will receive 0.452 common shares of Silver47 for each Summa share held. Post-transaction, existing Silver47 and Summa shareholders will own approximately 56 percent and 44 percent of the combined company, respectively. The unified company will continue under the name "Silver47 Exploration Corp." and will be led by an experienced management team, including Gary R. Thompson as executive chairman, and Galen McNamara as CEO.
This merger significantly enhances Silver47's resource base, consolidating approximately 10 million ounces (Moz) of indicated silver equivalent (AgEq) resources at an average grade of 333 grams per ton (g/t) AgEq and 236 Moz of inferred AgEq resources at 334 g/t AgEq across its US projects. The combined entity is well-capitalized, with approximately C$10 million in cash and a concurrent C$5 million private placement underway, positioning it to aggressively advance its exploration and development programs.
Silver47's strategy is focused on aggressive drilling to expand resources, updating economic studies, and pursuing accretive M&A opportunities to build toward its long-term vision of a 1 billion ounce AgEq resource platform.
The Red Mountain VMS project is the company’s flagship asset, located approximately 100 kilometers south of Fairbanks, Alaska. This project is a polymetallic VMS deposit, rich in silver, gold, zinc, copper and lead. As of January 2024, Red Mountain holds an NI 43-101 inferred resource of 15.6 million tonnes (Mt) at 7 percent zinc equivalent, or 168.6 Moz of AgEq at a grade of 335.7 g/t AgEq. The project is located in a mining-friendly jurisdiction on state-managed lands with reasonable access to infrastructure.
The project’s scale is significant with defined mineralization over a 60 km trend, and exploration upside is robust with an additional target of 50 to 75 Mt @ 300 to 400 g/t AgEq (equivalent to over 500 Moz AgEq).
Recent 2024 drilling at the Dry Creek and West Tundra Flats zones intersected high-grade mineralization, including:
Located in the historic Tonopah silver district, the Hughes project covers 5,500 acres along the prolific Walker Lane trend. The project hosts both indicated (10.3 Moz AgEq @ 333 g/t) and inferred (32.9 Moz AgEq @ 421 g/t in situ; 2.7 Moz AgEq @ 68 g/t from tailings) resources.
Drill results include:
The project benefits from infrastructure, road access and private land ownership, supporting near-term development opportunities.
The Mogollon project is a large, underexplored vein field in Catron County, New Mexico. Inferred resources total 32.1 Moz AgEq @ 367 g/t from only 2.7 Mt, covering a small portion of the 77 km of known vein strike length.
Drilling has returned intercepts such as:
The project’s combination of high-grade intercepts, extensive targets and strong metallurgical recoveries (97 percent silver, 98 percent gold) underscores its growth potential.

Fully-Funded 4,000 Meter Program with Planned Upsize to Boost High-Grade Silver and Critical Minerals
Silver47 Exploration Corp. (TSXV: AGA) (OTCQB: AAGAF) ("Silver47" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a fully-funded drill program at Silver47's wholly-owned Red Mountain VMS Project in south-central Alaska.
Highlights
Drilling Commences at Red Mountain: A core drilling rig is now fully operational at the Red Mountain project in Alaska, actively advancing the first hole of Silver47's 2025 summer exploration program.
Targeting High-Impact Resource Growth: The program focuses on expanding the inferred 168.6 million silver equivalent ounce resource (336 g/t AgEq*) at Dry Creek and West Tundra Flats (see Table 1), where previous drilling by Silver47 and prior operators indicates significant expansion potential.
High-Grade Precious Metals Potential: The 2025 program targets untested areas near historical high-grade intercepts, prioritizing areas richer in silver and gold to enhance Red Mountain's resource base.
Strategic Critical Minerals Focus: Red Mountain hosts five critical minerals scarce in the U.S., including zinc, copper, tin, antimony and gallium, which will be evaluated during this program to support domestic supply chain security.
Upsized Program on the Horizon: Closing of Summa Silver's oversubscribed $6.9 million subscription receipt financing was completed on June 17th, paving the way for a substantial expansion of the current drilling campaign when the Silver47 and Summa Silver merger is complete.
Gary Thompson, CEO of Silver47, stated: "We are excited to kick off a significant drill program at our Red Mountain silver-gold-rich VMS project with a view to expanding the resource base and making new discoveries. The results from previous drill holes, including DC24-106, WT24-33 and DC18-77, demonstrate the robust nature of the Bonnifield district, where Red Mountain is located, and we are eager to build on these successes. This year is shaping up to be transformational for the Company with a full season of drilling and the pending merger with Summa Silver."
Highlights from Previous Drilling (see news releases dated November 21 and 26, 2024 and February 12, 2025):
(AgEq: 106 g/t silver, 0.45 g/t gold, 6.4% zinc, 2.2% lead, and 0.19% copper)
(AgEq: 150.6 g/t silver, 0.82 g/t gold, 5.9% zinc, 2.6% lead, and 0.13% copper)
(AgEq: 418 g/t silver, 0.74 g/t gold, 9.1% zinc, 4.7% lead, 0.105% copper)
(AgEq: 1,435 g/t silver, 2.2 g/t gold, 4.8% zinc, 2.3% lead, 0.5% copper)
*Notes: g/t=grams per tonne; AgEq=silver equivalent; ZnEq=zinc equivalent; m=metres; Ag=silver; Au=gold; Cu=copper; Zn=zinc; Pb=lead; 1ppm=1 g/t. Equivalencies are calculated using ratios with metal prices of US$2,750/tonne Zn, US$2,100/tonne Pb, US$8,880/tonne Cu, US$1,850/oz Au, and US$23/oz Ag and metal recoveries are based on metallurgical work returned of 90% Zn, 75% Pb, 70% Cu, 70% Ag, and 80% Au.

Red Mountain Project Overview
Red Mountain, situated in south-central Alaska, is a high-grade volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit wholly owned by Silver47 Exploration Corp. Hosted within the Devonian to Mississippian-aged Totatlanika Schist, the deposit comprises submarine volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, primarily felsic to intermediate tuffs and flows, ideal for VMS mineralization. The project hosts an inferred resource of 168.6 million silver equivalent ounces at 336 g/t AgEq across the Dry Creek and West Tundra Flats deposits, with high-grade silver, gold, zinc, lead, and copper as reported in the NI 43-101 Technical Report dated January 12, 2024. Of particular importance, both Dry Creek and West Tundra Flats remain open to expansion. Beyond precious and base metals, Red Mountain contains critical minerals-antimony, gallium, zinc, copper, and tin-scarce in the U.S., supporting national supply chain security goals.
The broader Red Mountain property, spanning over 630 square kilometers, remains substantially underexplored. Airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys have identified multiple untested targets within the Totatlanika Schist's favorable stratigraphy. These targets, coupled with coincident high-grade mineralized rock samples and anomalous soil geochemistry, suggest strong potential for discovering additional VMS and sedimentary exhalative deposits across the property, positioning Red Mountain as a district-scale opportunity.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund advancement of the Combined Company's silver project portfolio in the United States, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The gross proceeds of the Offering, less the Agents' expenses, 50% of the cash commission and 50% of an advisory fee payable by Summa to RCC will be deposited and held by Odyssey Trust Company (the "Escrow Agent") in an interest bearing account (the "Escrowed Funds") pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement entered into on the date hereof among Summa and RCC, and the Escrow Agent. The Escrowed Funds (less 50% of the remaining cash commission, 50% of the remaining advisory fee and any remaining costs and expenses of the Agents) will be released from escrow to the Combined Company, as applicable, upon satisfaction of the following conditions (collectively, the "Escrow Release Conditions") by September 15, 2025 or such other date as may be mutually agreed to in writing between Summa, Silver47, and RCC (the "Escrow Release Deadline"), including:
(A) the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Transaction in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, to the satisfaction of RCC;
(B) the receipt of all required shareholder and regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, the conditional approval of the Exchange for the Transaction;
(C) the securities of the Silver47 or the Combined Company issued in exchange for the securities of Summa not being subject to any statutory or other hold period in Canada;
(D) the representations and warranties of Summa and Silver47 contained in the agency agreement to be entered into in connection with the Offering being true and accurate in all material respects, as if made on and as of the escrow release date; and
(E) Summa, Silver47 and RCC having delivered a joint notice and direction to the Escrow Agent, confirming that the conditions set forth in (A) to (D) above have been met or waived.
If (i) the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions does not occur on or prior by September 15, 2025, or such other date as may be mutually agreed to in writing between Summa, Silver47, and RCC or (ii) Summa has advised RCC and/or the public that it does not intend to proceed with the Transaction (in each case, the earliest of such times being the "Termination Time"), then all of the issued and outstanding Subscription Receipts shall be cancelled and the Escrowed Funds shall be used to pay holders of Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the issue price of the Subscription Receipts held by them (plus an amount equal to a pro rata share of any interest or other income earned thereon). If the Escrowed Funds are not sufficient to satisfy the aggregate purchase price paid for the then issued and outstanding Subscription Receipts (plus an amount equal to a pro rata share of the interest earned thereon), it shall be Summa's sole responsibility and liability to contribute such amounts as are necessary to satisfy any such shortfall.
In connection with the Offering, Summa paid to the Agents a cash commission of 369,150 and issued to the Agents 1,476,000 broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants"). In addition, the Agents received an advisory fee of $37,000 plus tax and 148,000 advisory broker warrants on the same terms as the Broker Warrants. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to acquire following closing of the Transaction one Silver47 Share at a post-Exchange ratio adjustment exercise price of $0.5531 per Silver47 Share for a period of 24 months following the waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States of America. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.
The Subscription Receipts and the Summa Shares, Summa Warrants and Warrant Shares underlying the Subscription Receipts, will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period in accordance with Canadian securities legislation, or until such securities are exchanged or adjusted pursuant to the Transaction.
Certain insiders of Summa acquired Subscription Receipts pursuant to the Offering and as such the Offering is considered a related party transaction with the meaning of TSX Venture Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Neither Summa, nor to the knowledge of Summa after reasonable inquiry, a related party, has knowledge of any material information concerning Summa or its securities that has not been generally disclosed. Summa has relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation, based on a determination that the fair market value of the participation in the Offering by insiders will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Summa, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. Summa did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering because the details of the participation therein by related parties of Summa were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Offering and the parties wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.

The central bank has held its benchmark rate at 4.25 to 4.5 percent since November 2024.
Silver price, June 10 to June 17, 2025.
Chart via the Investing News Network.
CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) FedWatch tool shows more than half of market respondents predict a 0.25 percent cut at the Fed's September meeting, while just 8 percent are expecting the Fed to make a deeper 0.5 percent cut.
The central bank is widely expected to leave rates unchanged at its June and July meetings.
Silver's price surge also comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. The two countries have come closer to war in recent days, with Israel striking nuclear and military targets deep in Iran.
On Monday (June 16), US President Trump took to Truth Social to urge a complete evacuation of Tehran ahead of planned strikes on targets in the city. He also urged Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
On the economic front, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics released its May consumer price index figures on June 11. The data shows inflationary growth, with the all-items index ticking up to 2.4 percent from 2.3 percent in June.
Growth was tempered mainly by falling prices at the pumps. Additionally, retail prices have yet to feel the full impact of US tariffs as retailers continue to work through stockpiles acquired earlier in the year.
Elsewhere, gold and equity markets weren’t faring as well on Tuesday.
Gold was flat, trading at US$3,385 per ounce. It has surged more than 25 percent this year, setting a slew of new price records, and has continued to trade in elevated territory, fueled by the same conditions as silver’s recent run. However, silver benefits from a lower entry point for investors looking for more affordable safe-haven investments.
The S&P 500 (INDEXSP: INX) was down on Tuesday, recording a 0.78 percent decline to 5,986. The Nasdaq-100 (INDEXNASDAQ: NDX) was also down, falling 0.89 percent to 21,744, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX: .DJI) slipped 0.68 percent to 42,222.
