Mineral resource
The following table shows the Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at Diablillos. The Mineral Reserves were estimated on May 16, 2026 from an open pit optimized using a silver price of $29.50/oz and a gold price of $2,800/oz. | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Mineral Reserve**<br>**(all domains)** | **Tonnage**<br>**(000 t)** | **Au**<br>**(g/t)** | **Ag**<br>**(g/t)** | **Ag** **E** **q**<br>**(g/t)** | **Contained Ag**<br>**(koz)** | **Contained Au**<br>**(koz)** | **Contained**<br>**AgEq**<br>**(koz)** | | Proven | 36,547 | 0.71 | 104 | 178 | 122,452 | 840 | 209,536 | | Probable | 41,364 | 0.70 | 46 | 118 | 61,085 | 925 | 156,327 | | **Total Proven and Probable** | **77,911** | **0.70** | **73** | **146** | **183,537** | **1,764** | **365,863** | Notes for Mineral Reserve Estimate: 01. The Mineral Reserves have an effective date of May 16, 2026. 02. The Qualified Person for the Mineral Reserves Estimate is Mr. Miguel Fuentealba, P. Eng. 03. The Mineral Reserves were estimated using the Canadian Code of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum (CIM), Definition of Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council. 04. The Mineral Reserves are based on a pit design, which is aligned with the ultimate pit selected during the optimization process performed at Whittle. 05. The reserves were estimated at a sale price of US $2,800 per ounce of Au and US $29.50 per ounce of Ag. 06. A variable mining cost per bench and type of material was applied. An average cost of US $2.23/t for all lithologies was applied, except for cover (free dig), where a cost of US $1.81/t was applied. 07. The processing cost for all zones is US $23.84/t. 08. The infrastructure, general, and administrative costs amount to US $6.51/t. 09. The average overall slope pit angles range from 30° to 49.2°, depending on the geotechnical zone domain. 10. The average recovery is estimated at 79.9% for silver and 87.0% for gold. 11. The formula for calculating AgEq is AgEq oz = Ag oz + Au oz x (Au Price/Ag Price) x (Au Recovery/Ag Recovery). 12. Mineral Reserves Estimates were categorized according to CIM Standard definitions (CIM, 2014). 13. A net value per block (NVB) was used to restrict the Mineral Reserves within the pitshell. The NVB is based on “Profit = Revenue - Costs”, being positive, where, Revenue = [(Au Price (US$/oz) - Au Sales Cost (US$/oz) x (Au Grade (g/t)/31.1035))x Au Recovery (%)]+[(Ag Price (US$/oz) - Ag Sales Cost (US$/oz) x (Ag Grade (g/t)/31.1035) x Ag Recovery (%) and cost as, Cost = Mine Cost (US$/t) + Process Cost (US$/t) + Transportation Cost (US$/t) + General and Administrative Costs (US$/t) + [Royalty Cost (%) x Revenue]. The NVB method matches an equivalent cut-off grade of approximately 38 g/t AgEq.
Projects
["Diablillos Project - Diablillos is a 7,919 ha (79 km2) property located in the Argentine Puna region, which is the southern extension of the Altiplano of southern Peru, Bolivia, and northern Chile. It is a high plateau, separating the Cordillera Oriental to the east from the Andean Cordillera (Cordillera Occidental) to the west.\n\nThere are currently multiple near-surface deposits on the Diablillos property, including Oculto, JAC, Fantasma and Laderas. Diablillos is a high-sulphidation epithermal silver-gold deposit derived from remnant hot springs activity following Tertiary-age local magmatic and volcanic activity with strong supergene overprinting.\n\n| | |\n| --- | --- |\n| Ownership | 100% [AbraSilver](https://www.abrasilver.com/) |\n| Geology | High-sulphidation epithermal silver-gold deposit |\n| Location | Salta Province, Argentina<br> Approx. 160 km southwest of city of Salta, along border between Provinces of Salta and Catamarca |\n| Elevation | Between 4,100 to 4,650 MASL |\n| Nearby Projects in Salta | Lindero (Fortuna Silver)<br> Taca Taca (First Quantum) |\n| Drilling to Date | +170,000m |\n| Stage | Definitive Feasibility Study completed in June 2026, with CAD$4.2 Billion After-Tax NPV5% and 42% IRR |\n\nOn June 22, 2026 the Company announced the results of its Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS” or the “Study”) for the Diablillos silver-gold project.\n\nThe DFS was led by Worley and supported by specialist consultants BMining, Envis and INSA. All dollar ($) figures are presented in US dollars unless otherwise stated. Base case metal prices used in the DFS financial analysis were: $50.00/oz silver (“Ag”) and $3,650/oz gold (“Au”).\n\n**DFS Study Highlights:**\n\n- After-tax NPV5% of **$3.0 billion (CAD$ 4.2 billion), 41.9%** IRR and **1.7-year payback** at base-case metal prices.\n\n- At spot prices1, **after-tax NPV5% increases to $4.8 billion (CAD$6.7 billion)** with an **IRR of 56.5%** and payback of **1.4 years.**\n- **Average annual production of 20 Moz silver equivalent (“AgEq”)** during the first five years of full mine production, comprised of **14** Moz Ag and **89** koz Au;\n\n- Average life-of-mine (“LOM”) annual production of **10** Moz AgEq, comprised of **5.9** Moz Ag and **62** koz Au over a 25-year life of mine (“LOM”).\n- **Low All-in Sustaining Cash Costs (“AISC”)** 2 of $ **20/oz AgEq** over the LOM – positioning Diablillos among the lowest-cost primary silver projects globally.\n- **Initial capital expenditures** of **$722 million (** including $98 million contingency) with subsequent sustaining capital of $520 million funded through operating cash flow.\n- **Compelling after-tax NPV-to-Capex ratio of 4.2x,** highlighting the Project’s robust project economics and strong value generation potential.\n- **Increased Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves** of 77.9 Mt grading 146 g/t Ag Eq, containing 183 Moz Ag and 1.8 Moz Au (366 Moz AgEq), estimated from an open pit optimized using metal prices of $29.50/oz Ag and $2,800/oz Au.\n- **First production targeted before year-end 2029,** subject to a final investment decision (“FID”) expected in Q2 2027.\n- **Multiple opportunities exist to further enhance Project value beyond the DFS,** including:\n\n - A Phase 2 heap leach expansion to process lower grade mineralized material that would provide incremental gold and silver production, with results from a Preliminary Economic Assessment (the “Heap Leach PEA”) expected in Q4/2026.\n - Potential future plant throughput expansion to increase annual silver and gold production; and\n - Continued exploration success across the broader Diablillos district\n- **Enhanced TSF** incorporates a downstream waste rock buttress design, to eliminate credible failure risk while reducing haulage costs and dust generation.\n- **Grid power connection planned in Year 3**, reducing both operating costs and carbon emissions."]
