Technical Summary

The Red Mountain Project was first discovered in 1975, with exploration resulting in two deposits ‎called Dry Creek (DC) and West Tundra Flats (WTF). ‎The mineralization within the two resource zones are typical of a Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) with a siliciclastic felsic association. The mineralization occurs within the upper portions of the Totatlanika Schist of Mississippian to Devonian Age. The Totlanika Schist forms the core of a roughly east-west trending syncline within the property (the Bonnifield East Syncline). The DC mineralized horizons can be traced for 4,500m of strike, and steeply dips to the north. Mineralization occurs as semi-massive to massive sulfides within metamorphosed mudstones and rhyolites. WTF is located approximately 3.5-5 km northeast of DC on the opposing limb of the syncline. Mineralization at WTF can be traced at surface for 1,000m and dips shallowly to the southwest.

Table 2: Select Drill Intercepts at Dry Creek (DC) and West Tundra Flats (WTF).

Assays are weighted averages and the intervals are drilled widths as true widths have yet to be ‎determined.‎

A total of 213 holes for 38,417m have been drilled since 1976 by numerous operators including ‎Phelps Dodge, Getty Oil, US Borax, Grayd Resources, Bear Creek Mining, Inmet Mining and ‎most recently, Whiterock Minerals, prior to Silver47 ownership.‎

DC and WTF are the two most advanced mineralized zones at Red Mountain, with at least 20 additional mineralized prospects discovered on the property to date over the 60 km of highly prospective geology. Silver47 has a robust database of historic geochemical and geophysical data, including 2,543 rock samples and 7,948 soil samples, 15,862 XRF soil samples, property-scale SkyTEM surveys and high-resolution FLEM, CSAMT and ground magnetic survey coverage over high-priority targets.

During the summer of 2024, Silver47 drilled six holes for a total of 1,039m at Red Mountain to ‎confirm historic intercepts, infill and expansion potential at both DC and WTF, including one hole ‎to 283m depth testing the Kiwi exploration target. A small surface geochemical sampling ‎program was completed concurrent with drill operations for a total of 228 soils and 21 rocks from ‎Galleon, Horseshoe and Kiwi targets.‎

Assay results from the 2024 exploration program are pending.

Adams Plateau SEDEX/VMS Project – British Columbia, Canada

The Adams Plateau Project is located in the Kamloops Mining Division and is 70 km northeast of the city of Kamloops, BC. Silver47 wholly-owns 48 contiguous mineral titles covering approximately 149 square km. Mineralization was first identified in the area in 1925, resulting in more than 25 MINFILE showings, including small-scale past production of lead, zinc, and silver at the Lucky, Spar and Mosquito King Showings.

Historic Drill Highlights, Adams Plateau

• 3.66m of 180.4 g/t Ag, 8.1% Pb+Zn at the Lucky Showing

• 4.88m of 348.35 g/t Ag, 0.72 g/t Au, 27.3% Pb+Zn, 0.23% Cu at the Spar Showing

Modern exploration has consisted of surface geochemical sampling and various geophysical surveys. ‎Silver47 carried out surface sampling programs in 2022 and 2024, producing numerous new ‎targets for follow up exploration. A total of 16,947 soil, 694 rock and 146 silt samples have been ‎collected over the project. Silver47 collected surface rock grab samples that have returned up to ‎‎3503 g/t Ag, 7% Cu, 6.5 g/t Au and 29% Pb+Zn.‎

Michelle Project, MVT-SEDEX Project – Yukon Territory, Canada

The 15,900 hectare Michelle Project is located in north-central Yukon, 130 km north-northeast of Dawson City, Yukon. In 2022, Silver47 confirmed a new and significant silver discovery at the Michelle Project:

• ‎7.68 m of 1,577 g/t Ag, 45% Pb, 4% Zn within 15 m of 907 g/t Ag, 26% Pb, 2.7% Zn in hole ‎MCH22-002 at the Silver Matt Target. ‎

• Surface samples at the Silver Matt Showing have returned up to 4180 g/t Ag, 82% Pb.‎

First discovered in 1973, exploration at the Michelle Project has identified 20 named showings with limited drilling defining 3 mineralized zones. Silver, lead, zinc and a number of critical metals are known to occur within oxide and sulfide mineralization of the Bouvette Formation carbonates across the property. Mineralization style is yet to be defined, with showings exhibiting characteristics of Mississippi Valley Type, Carbonate replacement, within the broader classification of SEDEX deposits.

In 2021, Silver47 discovered the Silver Matt showing with reverse calculations drilling intersecting several meters of oxide and massive sulfide mineralization. In 2022 a diamond core drill was mobilized to further test the Silver Matt prospect, MCH-22-002 intersected 7.68 m of 1,577 g/t Ag, 45.28% Pb, 4.03% Zn and 0.17% Sb. Holes MCH-22-004 and -005 confirmed continuous mineralization at least 50 m along strike.

Table 3: Assay Intervals for the Silver Matt Discovery

Assays are weighted averages and the intervals are drilled widths as true widths have yet to be determined.

The Michelle Project is considered an early-stage exploration project, with further exploration recommended pending a class 3 permit. However, during the class 3 drill permit review process by the Yukon territorial government, the federal Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board’s (‘YESAB‘) recommended the project not proceed based on environmental and Indigenous group concerns. Both the Yukon Government and Silver47 are jointly challenging the YESAB recommendation for a variety of reasons, e.g. First Nation and government bodies all agreed to honour existing mineral claims, and YESAB improperly applied wrong criteria on Silver47’s exploration proposals. The legal challenge will take the form of a judicial review in Yukon Supreme Court, and will be heard in Whitehorse on November 27-29, 2024. Indicative of the Yukon Government concern, it is taking the extraordinary position that Silver47 was treated unfairly by YESAB.

Michelle QA/QC

Quality Assurance and quality control protocols for rock, soil and drill core sampling at the Michelle Project followed industry standard practices. Rock and soil samples were delivered directly to ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon. Core samples were taken at 1.0 m intervals in mineralized zones, and 3.0 m intervals in unaltered, fresh host rock. Blank, duplicate (Coarse and lab pulp), and certified reference materials were inserted into the sample stream every 8^th sample. Core samples were cut in half, bagged, sealed and delivered to ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon. ALS Minerals Laboratories are registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Rock and core samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratory facilities in North Vancouver using four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Over-limits for Ag, Pb, and Zn were analyzed using Ore Grade four-acid digestion. Silver values >1,500 ppm were analyzed using fire assay with gravimetric finish. Lead >20% and zinc >30% were analyzed using titration methods. The standards, certified reference materials, were acquired from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, British Columbia and selected to represent expected mineralization.
