BLACKROCK SILVER APPOINTS SEAN THOMPSON AS HEAD OF INVESTOR RELATIONS

Blackrock Silver Corp. has appointed Sean Thompson as head of investor relations for the company.

Mr. Thompson is a seasoned capital markets professional with over 17 years of experience in the metals and mining sector. He has a proven record of driving shareholder value through strategic communications and stakeholder relationship management, particularly for high-growth, development-stage companies.

Prior to joining Blackrock, Mr. Thompson held senior investor relations roles at several highly successful precious metals developers that were ultimately acquired in significant M&A (merger and acquisition) transactions: Atlantic Gold Corp.: acquired for $722-million and Kaminak Gold Corp.: acquired for $520-million.

His excellence in the field has been recognized by the broader investment community. Mr. Thompson was awarded "Best IR by a TSX Venture listed company" at the IR Magazine Awards Canada 2018 and received a nomination for the same award in 2016.

Most recently, Mr. Thompson served as vice-president, corporate development and investor relations, at Westhaven Gold Corp. During his tenure, he was a key member of the leadership team that successfully transitioned the company from a grassroots discovery through to a positive preliminary economic assessment (PEA).

Andrew Pollard, Blackrock's president and chief executive officer, commented: "With an updated preliminary economic assessment in view, a robust treasury and permitting initiatives well under way, Sean is joining the company at a pivotal time as we seek to broaden our market profile. Sean brings an impressive track record in broadening investor bases with other highly followed precious metals developers, and we're excited to welcome him to the team as we position ourselves as the next American silver developer."

Mr. Thompson holds an MBA from Dalhousie University, providing him with the analytical depth required to help manage and communicate financial modelling and peer group valuations across the gold and silver sectors.

In connection with Mr. Thompson's appointment, the company has granted him 200,000 stock options of the company pursuant to the company's omnibus equity incentive compensation plan. Each stock option entitles him to purchase one common share of the company at an exercise price per common share of $1.53 and will vest as to one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant, expiring on Jan. 29, 2031.
