Masivo Silver Completes Phase 1 Drill Program at
Cerro Colorado and Appoints Chief Financial Officer
Vancouver, British Columbia May 19, 2026 Masivo Silver Corp. ("Masivo" or the "Company") is
pleased to provide a corporate update as it expects to complete its Phase 1 drill program at Cerro Colorado
this week, consisting of seven holes totaling 1,601 metres. The Company believes the program achieved its
primary geological objectives and has provided important information regarding the scale and continuity
of the system, with encouraging geological observations that assays may indicate the potential for a
significant mineralized system.
Drilling to date has encountered encouraging alteration and mineralization, including sericite alteration and
increasing indications of sulfide presence, consistent with the targeted silver-copper system and supporting
confidence in the scale and continuity of mineralization at depth. Assays from the drill holes are expected
to be received and released on a rolling basis as they become available from the laboratory.
In conjunction with this progress, the Company announces it has amended the terms of its option agreement
covering the Cerro Colorado Property. The originally planned eighth drill hole was deferred to a future
Phase 2 program for cost efficiency. Also, the share consideration payable upon completion of Phase 1 was
adjusted from 300,000 common shares to 450,000 common shares to compensate for incidentals.
Completion of the Phase 1 program also triggers the commencement of the anniversary payment schedule,
under which Masivo may earn up to 100% interest in the project through a series of milestone and
anniversary payments.
Anniversary Date Cash Payment Cash or Share Payment
First Anniversary US$60,000 Either 1,000,000 Masivo common shares or US$100,000
Second Anniversary US$70,000 Either 1,500,000 Masivo common shares or US$150,000
Third Anniversary US$80,000 Either 2,000,000 Masivo common shares or US$200,000
Fourth Anniversary US$100,000 Either 2,500,000 Masivo common shares or US$250,000
*For each election between shares and cash, Masivo may elect to settle a cash payment using common
shares based on a 10-day volume weighted average trading price formula.
Upon the 48-month anniversary, and provided all commitments between Masivo Silver Corp., Minera
Goldzone and the related partners have been fulfilled, Masivo will earn a 100% interest in the Cerro
Colorado Project, subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") royalty retained by Minera Goldzone and
partners. Masivo retains the right to purchase 100% of the NSR royalty for US$1,000,000.
APPOINTMENT OF SCOTT KELLY
The Board of Directors and management of Masivo Silver would like to thank Michele Pillon for her many
years of dedicated service as Chief Financial Officer and wish her well in her retirement from Masivo.
Masivo is pleased to welcome Scott Kelly, CPA, as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Kelly brings more than
two decades of senior financial, operational, and public company experience in the mining sector, having
played key roles in the financing, development, acquisition, and operation of mining and exploration
companies throughout Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Central America.
Mr. Kelly previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Mako Mining Corp., where he was involved in
the construction and operation of a producing gold mine in Sinaloa, Mexico, while also assisting in the
acquisition and development of additional mining assets in Nicaragua. He also served as Chief Financial

Corp., where he helped guide the company from private startup through its public listing on the TSX
Venture Exchange and multiple successful financings. The Company believes Mr. Kelly's extensive

a valuable addition as Masivo advances the Cerro Colorado Project and continues evaluating additional
growth opportunities.
