MTIRF - Mithril Intercepts High-Grade Silver At Target 5 Returning 1,714 G/T AGEQ (5.8 G/T AU, 1,308 G/T AG) Over 1.0 M At The Copalquin District, Mexico

(TheNewswire)

Melbourne, Australia and Vancouver, Canada – November5, 2025 – TheNewswire - Mithril Silver and Gold Limited ("Mithril” or the"Company") (TSXV: MSG) (ASX: MTH) (OTCQB: MTIRF) is pleasedto provide exploration results and update formultiple targets at Mithril’s district scale Copalquin property, Durango State, Mexico.

  • High-grade interceptsreturned from initial drilling at Target 5, anew, silver rich target in the southwest area of the CopalquinDistrict at lower elevation within the large Copalquin epithermalgold-silver system – with results up to 100 metres below surfacenear the historic El Apomal mine; only ~5% of the mapped and projectedvein system has been tested to date.

  • Target 5 highlights include

    • 2 .75 m @ 660 g/t AgEq 1 ( 2.28 g/t gold, 500 g/t silver) from 93.6 m (AP25-003), including

1.00 m @1,714 g/t AgEq ( 5.80 g/t gold, 1,308 g/t silver) from 94.7 m

    • 3.35 m @ 366 g/t AgEq ( 1.71 g/t gold, 246 g/tsilver) from 90.15 m (AP25-005),including

1.05 m @1,146 g/t AgEq ( 5.35 g/tgold, 771 g/t silver) from 92.45 m

    • 1.25 m @ 728 g/t AgEq ( 4.55 g/t gold, 409 g/tsilver) from 119.2 m (AP25-006), plus

0.90 m @616 g/t AgEq ( 2.41 g/t gold, 447 g/t silver) from138.1 m, plus

0.80 m @ 427 g/t AgEq ( 1.51 g/t gold, 321 g/tsilver) from 149.5 m

  • Target 5 Drilling is progressing rapidly, with13 drill holes now completed. Assays have been received for the firsteight holes which have all returned reportable mineralised intercepts.Ongoing mapping and channel sampling continues to expand this largetarget area.

  • Tasolera Mine area at Target5 - drilling commencesthis week following up high-grade channel sampling, including 3,440 g/t AgEq (2.0 g/tgold, 3,300 g/t silver) 2 over 1.40m at this highly prospective area of Target5.

  • Target 3 – preparationscontinue for drilling in the coming months, with further channelsample results pending and the addition of a third rig.  Target 3 isa large and highly prospective gold-silver area with multiplehigh-grade surface samples returned to date and extensive veinsmapped.

“Our maiden drill program at Target 5 is off to anexcellent start, delivering multiple high-grade gold-silver interceptsfrom this new, silver-rich target in the southwest of the CopalquinDistrict,” said John Skeet, Managing Director& CEO. “Assays received for the firsteight of thirteen holes all returned reportable mineralisation,confirming the strength of this emerging target — and our work herehas just begun with only five percent of the mapped and projectedveins tested to date to just 100 metres below surface.”

“Target 5 is rapidly emerging as a major newsilver-dominant zone within the broader Copalquin epithermal systemwhere drilling continues, with holes at the high-grade Tasolera minearea commencing this week.  At the same time, Mithril continues toadvance Target 3 to drill readiness with ongoing mapping and sampling,while at Target 1 drilling is testing the western extension of themaiden resource area toward the El Gallo mine, 900 metres to thewest.”

District Outlook

Mithril is fully funded to complete 45,000 metres ofdrilling through to the second half of 2026, with preparations to adda third drill rig in early 2026 at Target 3. Target 1 drillingcontinues to focus on expanding the current resource area in thedistrict and drilling is well underway at Target 5.  Detailed mappingand sampling also continue to advance across multiple targets,underpinning the district-scale potential of Copalquin.  A closelyspaced aerial magnetic survey will be flown late 2025 and apetrographic fluid inclusion study on samples across the district issupporting the ongoing development of the district scale model forthis large epithermal gold-silver system.

COPALQUIN GOLD-SILVER DISTRICT, DURANGO STATE,MEXICO

With 100 historic underground gold-silver mines andworkings plus 198 surface workings/pits throughout 70km 2 of mining concession area, Copalquinis an entire mining district with high-grade exploration results and amaiden JORC resource. To date there are several target areas in thedistrict with one already hosting a high-grade gold-silver JORC mineral resource estimate (MRE) at theTarget 1 area (El Refugio-La Soledad) 3 and a NI 43-101 Technical Report filed on SEDAR+,supported by a conceptional underground mining study completed on themaiden resource in early 2022 and metallurgical test work (see ASX Announcement 25February 2022 ). There is considerablestrike and depth potential to increase theresource at El Refugio and at other target areas across the district,plus the underlying geologic system that is responsible for thewidespread gold-silver mineralisation.

With the district-wide gold and silver occurrences andrapid exploration success, it is clear the Copalquin District isdeveloping into another significant gold-silver district like the manyother districts in this prolific Sierra Madre Gold-Silver Trend ofMexico.

ABOUT THE COPALQUIN GOLD SILVER PROJECT

The Copalquin mining district is located in DurangoState, Mexico and covers an entire mining district of 70km 2 containing several dozen historicgold and silver mines and workings, ten of which had notableproduction. The district is within the Sierra Madre Gold Silver Trendwhich extends north-south along the western side of Mexico and hostsmany gold and silver districts.

Multiple mineralisation events, young intrusivesthought to be system-driving heat sources, widespread alterationtogether with extensive surface vein exposures and dozens of historicmine workings, identify the Copalquin mining district as a majorepithermal centre for Gold and Silver.

Within 15 months of drilling in the Copalquin District,Mithril delivered a maiden JORC mineral resource estimatedemonstrating the high-grade gold and silver resource potential forthe district. This maiden resource is detailed below (see ASX release 17 November2021 ) ^ and a NI 43-101 Technical Reportfiled on SEDAR+

  • Indicated 691 kt @ 5.43 g/t gold,114 g/t silver for 121 ,000 oz gold plus 2,538,000 oz silver

  • Inferred 1,725 kt @ 4.55 g/t gold,152 g/t silver for 252 ,000 oz gold plus 8,414,000 oz silver

(using a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t AuEq*)

*  In determining the gold equivalent (AuEq.) gradefor reporting, a gold:silver price ratio of 70:1 was determined, usingthe formula: AuEq grade = Au grade + ((Ag grade/70) x (Ag recovery/Aurecovery)). The metal prices used to determine the 70:1 ratio are thecumulative average prices for 2021: gold USD1,798.34 and silver:USD25.32 (actual is 71:1) from kitco.com .

For silver equivalent (AgEq.) grade reporting, the samefactors as above are used with the formula AgEq grade = Ag grade +((Au grade x 70) x (Au recovery/Ag recovery))

At this early stage, the metallurgical recoveries wereassumed to be equal (93%). Subsequent preliminary metallurgical testwork produced recoveries of 91% for silver and 96% for gold (ASXAnnouncement 25 February 2022) and these will be used when theresource is updated in the future. In theCompany’s opinion there is reasonable potential for both gold andsilver to be extracted and sold.

^ The information in this reportthat relates to Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based oninformation provided in the following ASX announcement: 17 Nov 2021 -MAIDEN JORC RESOURCE 529,000 OUNCES @ 6.81G/T (AuEq * ), which includes the full JORC MREreport, also available on the Mithril Resources LimitedWebsite.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any newinformation or data that materially affects the information includedin the original market announcement and that all material assumptionsand technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevantmarket announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.The company confirms that the form and context in which the CompetentPerson’s findings are presented have not been materially modifiedfrom the original market announcement.

Mining study (conceptual) and metallurgical test worksupports the development of the El Refugio-La Soledad resource withconventional underground mining methods indicated as being appropriateand with high gold-silver recovery to produce metal on-site withconventional processing. The average vein width is approximately 4.5metres.

Mithril is currently exploring in the CopalquinDistrict to expand the resource footprint, demonstrating itsmulti-million-ounce gold and silver potential. Mithril has an exclusive option to purchase 100% interest in the Copalquin mining concessions by paying US$10M on or any time before 7 August 2028.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Sampling techniques

  • Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, randomchips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement toolsappropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down holegamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples shouldnot be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

  • Include reference to measures taken to ensure samplerepresentativity and the appropriate calibration of any measurementtools or systems used.

  • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that areMaterial to the Public Report.

  • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has beendone this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulationdrilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverisedto produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases moreexplanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold thathas inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisationtypes (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailedinformation.

  • Drill core samples are cutlengthwise with a diamond saw. Intervals are nominally 1 m but mayvary between 0.5 m to 1.5 m based on geologic criteria.

  • The same side of the core is always sent to sample(left side of saw).

  • Reported intercepts are calculated as eitherpotentially underground mineable (100m down hole) or as potentiallyopen-pit mineable (near surface).

  • Potentially underground mineable intercepts arecalculated as length weighted averages of material greater than orequal to 1 g/t AuEQ_70 allowing up to 2m of internaldilution.

  • Potentially open-pit mineable intercepts are calculatedas length weighted averages of material greater than or equal to 0.25g/t AuEQ_70 allowing for up to 2m of internal dilution.

  • Rock Sawn Channel samples underground and surface are collected with the assistance of ahandheld portable saw. The channels are 2.5 to 3cm deep and 6-8 cmwide along continuous lines oriented perpendicular to the mineralizedstructure. The samples are as representative as possible

  • Rock Sawn Channel surface samples were surveyed with aHandheld GPS then permanently mark with an aluminium tag and redcolour spray across the strike of the outcrop over 1 metre. Samplesare as representative as possible

  • Rock Sawn Channel underground samples were locatedafter a compass and tape with the mine working having a surveyedcontrol point at the portal, then permanently marked with an aluminiumtag and red colour spray oriented perpendicular to the mineralizedstructure. Samples are as representative as possible

  • Soil sampling has been carriedout by locating pre-planned points by handheld GPS and digging tobelow the first colour-change in the soil (or a maximum of 50 cm). Inthe arid environment there is a 1 – 10 cm organic horizon and a 10– 30 cm B horizon above the regolith. Samples are sieved to -80 meshin the field. Samples are collected on a 20 m x50 m grid or every 20 m on N–S lines 50 m apart. These samples areconsidered representative of the medium being sampled and lines areappropriately oriented to the nearly E–W structural trend.

Drilling techniques

  • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-holehammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (egcore diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails,face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so,by what method, etc).

  • Drilling is done with MP500 man-portable core rigscapable of drilling HQ size core to depths of 350-400m (depending onground conditions), reducing to NQ size core for greater depths. Coreis recovered in a standard tube.

Drill sample recovery

  • Method of recording and assessing core and chip samplerecoveries and results assessed.

  • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensurerepresentative nature of the samples.

  • Whether a relationship exists between sample recoveryand grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due topreferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

  • Drill recovery is measured based on measured length ofcore divided by length of drill run.

  • Recovery in holes CDH-001 through CDH-025 and holesCDH-032 through CDH-077 was always above 90% in the mineralized zones.Detailed core recovery data are maintained in the projectdatabase.

  • Holes CDH-026 through CDH-031 had problems with corerecovery in highly fractured, clay rich breccia zones.

  • There is no adverse relationship between recovery andgrade identified to date.

Logging

  • Whether core and chip samples have been geologicallyand geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriateMineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgicalstudies.

  • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)photography.

  • The total length and percentage of the relevantintersections logged.

  • Geotechnical and geological   logging of the drillcore takes place on racks in the company core shed.

  • Core samples have beengeologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to supportappropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies andmetallurgical studies.

  • Core logging is both qualitative or quantitative innature. Photos are taken of each box of core before samples are cut.Photos of cut core intervals are taken aftersampling. Core is wetted to improve visibility of features in thephotos.

  • All core has been logged and photographed.

  • Rock sawn channel samples aremarked, measured and photographed at location

Exploration done by other parties

  • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by otherparties.

  • Previous exploration by Bell Coast Capital Corp. and UCResources was done in the late 1990’s and in 2005 – 2007. Workdone by these companies is historic and non-JORC compliant. Mithriluses these historic data only as a general guide and will notincorporate work done by these companies in resourcemodelling.

  • Work done by the Mexican government and by IMMSA andwill be used for modelling of historic mine workings which are nowinaccessible (void model)

Geology

  • Deposit type, geological setting and style ofmineralisation.

  • Copalquin is a low sulfidation epithermal gold-silverdeposit hosted in andesite. This deposit type is common in the SierraMadre Occidental of Mexico and is characterized by quartz veins andstockworks surrounded by haloes of argillic (illite/smectite)alteration. Veins have formed as both low-angle semi-continuous lensesparallel to the contact between granodiorite and andesite and astabular veins in high-angle normal faults. Vein and breccia thicknesshas been observed up to 30 meters wide with average widths on theorder of 3 to 5 meters. The overall strike length of thesemi-continuous mineralized zone from El Gallo to Refugio, Cometa, LosPinos, Los Reyes, La Montura to Constancia and Santa Cruz is almost 7kilometres. The southern area from south west of Apomal to San Manueland to Las Brujas-El Peru provides additional exploration potential upto 6km.

Drill hole Information

  • A summary of all information material to theunderstanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of thefollowing information for all Material drill holes:

  • easting and northing of the drill hole collar
    • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above

  • sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar

  • dip and azimuth of the hole

  • down hole length and interception depth

  • hole length.

  • If the exclusion of this information is justified onthe basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion doesnot detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Personshould clearly explain why this is the case.

See Table 2 in theannouncement.

Data aggregation methods

  • In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averagingtechniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting ofhigh grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should bestated.

  • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths ofhigh grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, theprocedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typicalexamples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

  • The assumptions used for any reporting of metalequivalent values should be clearlystated.

  • Potentially underground mineable intercepts arecalculated as length weighted averages of material greater than orequal to 1 g/t AuEQ_70 allowing up to 2m of internaldilution.

  • Potentially open-pit mineable intercepts are calculatedas length weighted averages of material greater than or equal to 0.25g/t AuEQ_70 allowing for up to 2m of internal dilution.

  • No upper cut-off is applied to reportingintercepts.

  • Length weighted averaging is used to report intercepts.The example of CDH-002 is shown. The line of zero assays is a standardwhich was removed from reporting.

  • In determining the gold equivalent (AuEq.) grade forreporting, a gold:silver price ratio of 70:1 was determined, using theformula: AuEq grade = Au grade + ((silver grade/70) x (silverrecovery/Au recovery)). The metal prices used to determine the 70:1ratio are the cumulative average prices for 2021: gold USD1,798.34 andsilver: USD25.32 (actual is 71:1) from kitco.com At this earlystage, the metallurgical recoveries are assumed to be equal (93%),Subsequent preliminary metallurgical test work produced recoveries of91% for silver and 96% for gold (ASX Announcement 25 February2022).

  • For Rock Saw Channel Sampling and soil sampling in theCopalquin District , silver equivalent (AgEq) isdetermined using the formula: AgEq grade = silver grade + ((Au grade x70) x (Au recovery/silver recovery)). The metal prices used todetermine the 70:1 ratio are the cumulative average prices for 2021:gold USD1,798.34 and silver: USD25.32 (actual is 71:1) from kitco.com At this early stage,the metallurgical recoveries for Au and silver are assumed to be equal(93%) in the absence of metallurgical test work for Targets 2, 3, 4and 5 material. In the Company’s opinion there is reasonablepotential for both gold and silver to be extracted and sold.

Relationship between mineralisation widths andintercept lengths

  • These relationships are particularly important in thereporting of Exploration Results.

  • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect tothe drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

  • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths arereported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘downhole length, true width not known’).

  • True widths at Refugio between sections 120 and 1,000vary according to the hole’s dip. Holes drilled at -50 degrees maybe considered to have intercept lengths equal to true-widths, Holesdrilled at -70 degrees had true widths approximately 92% of thereported intercept lengths and holes drilled at -90 degrees had truewidths of 77% of the reported intercept lengths.

  • True widths at La Soledad are not fully understood anddownhole intercepts to date, are reported.

  • At Las Brujas in Target 2, truewidths are not yet known since we are still in the early stages oftarget definition.

  • Rock sawn channel samples are cutperpendicular to the observed vein orientation whereverpossible

Diagrams

  • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) andtabulations of intercepts should be included for any significantdiscovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited toa plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectionalviews.

See figures in announcement

Balanced reporting

  • Where comprehensive reporting of all ExplorationResults is not practicable, representative reporting of both low andhigh grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleadingreporting of Exploration Results.

  • All exploration results are reported for interceptsgreater than or equal to 0.1 g/t gold equivalent (gold plus silver at70:1 price ratio for gold:silver).

Other substantive explorationdata

  • Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,should be reported including (but not limitedto): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemicalsurvey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment;metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnicaland rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminatingsubstances.

  • No additional exploration data are substantive at thistime.

  • Metallurgical test work on drill core composite made ofcrushed drill core from the El Refugio drill hole samples has beenconducted.

  • The samples used for the test work are representativeof the material that makes up the majority of the Maiden ResourceEstimate for El Refugio release on 17 th November 2021.

  • The test work was conducted by SGS laboratory Mexicousing standard reagents and test equipment.

Further work

  • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg testsfor lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-outdrilling).

  • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possibleextensions, including the main geological interpretations and futuredrilling areas, provided this information is not commerciallysensitive.

  • The Company drilled 148 diamond core holes from July2020 to July 2022 for 32,712 m.  The Company has stated its target todrill up to 45,000m from July 2025 until the second half of2026
