SILVER MOUNTAIN ANNOUNCES FIRST CONCENTRATE SALE
Silver Mountain Resources Inc. has agreed to the sale and completed its first shipment of bulk and zinc concentrates from its 100-per-cent-owned Reliquias silver-polymetallic mine in central Peru, representing an estimated provisional sales value of approximately $2.7-million (U.S.) (1).
This milestone marks the beginning of revenue generation from Reliquias and represents another step in the company's ramp-up of operations toward commercial production.
Advancing toward commercial production
Following the restart of production in September, 2026, Silver Mountain continues to advance its operational ramp-up and is targeting processing throughput of 800 tonnes per day (tpd) during the second half of 2027.
As throughput increases and processing progressively transitions from previously stockpiled material to newly mined ore, Silver Mountain expects to advance toward commercial production.
Alvaro Espinoza, chief executive officer of Silver Mountain, commented: "Our first concentrate shipment, representing approximately $2.7-million (U.S.) in estimated provisional sales value, marks an important milestone for Silver Mountain as we begin generating revenue from Reliquias.
"This achievement demonstrates the progress we have made in restarting the operation and brings us another step closer to commercial production.
"With production ramping up at Reliquias and exploration opportunities across our district, including at Caudalosa, we believe Silver Mountain is well positioned to continue advancing its operations and pursue long-term value for our shareholders."
Looking ahead
Silver Mountain remains focused on increasing production, advancing underground mine development and achieving commercial production at Reliquias.
In parallel, the company continues to evaluate opportunities to expand its mineral resource base across its land package in the Castrovirreyna mining district.
The company expects to provide its next operational update in January, 2027.

Production decision not based on a prefeasibility study or feasibility study
The company's production decision at Reliquias was not based on a prefeasibility study or feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability.
Accordingly, Reliquias does not have defined mineral reserves, and there is a higher degree of uncertainty and risk of economic or technical failure associated with the production decision than would be the case if it were supported by such a study.
The Reliquias PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the Reliquias PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
(1) The estimated sales value is based on preliminary shipment information and remains subject to final weights, assays, applicable metal prices, contractual deductions and customary settlement adjustments. Actual revenue recognized may differ from this estimate.
