MAVERICK GOLD AND SILVER RECEIVES CONFIRMATION OF NEW CLAIMS - INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE SILVER VISTA PROPERTY, BRITISH COLUMBIA

Maverick Gold and Silver Corp. has received formal confirmation from the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals, Mines Competitiveness and Authorizations Division, that an additional five mineral claims, which were applied for in January (see news release dated Jan. 26, 2026), adjoining the Silver Vista property have been granted. The newly approved claims add 1,901 hectares (4,698 acres) to the property, increasing the size by 42 per cent.

The Silver Vista property, located approximately 55 kilometres from Smithers, B.C., now comprises 17 mineral claims and covers 6,444.5 hectares (15,925 acres), or 64.44 square kilometres (24.88 square miles).

The new claims cover two historic soil anomalies that appear to have not had additional follow-up work completed on them. Each anomaly is in proximity to Eocene-aged porphyritic rocks that are intruding Jurassic-aged sedimentary and volcanic rocks or overlying Cretaceous-aged volcanic rocks. The new claims are prospective for copper and silver as the geological environment there is similar to that surrounding the MR showing, which has been tested with 4,034 metres (13,235 feet) of drilling and will have follow-up drilling by the company.

"The granting of these new claims comes at a great time for the company as we are in the final stages of preparation for our fully funded drill program on Silver Vista," stated Glen Watson, president and chief executive officer of Maverick Gold and Silver.

Coming drill program

Preparations continue for the company's fully financed drill program at Silver Vista, which is anticipated to start prior to the end of September.

The hyperspectral survey of the 2019 and 2021 drill core continues, and the company had made progress on its new three-dimensional model, which includes all drill data collected to date.
