Mr. Woolfe is well-known to GR Silver Mining as the Company's former Vice President Exploration and Corporate Development.

Mr. Woolfe left the Company to return to his native Australia as announced in the news release dated June 14, however, his deep knowledge of all operations and assets of the Company in Mexico will provide valuable knowledge and experience to support strategic planning in the coming months.

I am very pleased to welcome Blaine Bailey back in the role of CFO, knowing the Company intimately as he does. Finally, we are honoured to have Fernando Berdegué and Trevor Woolfe joining our board. Fernando brings an intimate understanding of the Mexican business milieu and a passion for developing Mexican mining assets in a responsible manner, while Trevor's knowledge and experience and recent discovery of the SE Area, will provide valuable input in the strategic planning and growth of resources at the Plomosas Project."
About the Plomosas Project
The Plomosas Project, including the recent high-grade silver SE Area discovery in the San Marcial Area, is an emerging high-grade silver district located in southern Sinaloa, Mexico. The Plomosas Project, covering 43,187 ha, benefits from mine infrastructure, road access and existing permits, associated with past-producing historical mining sites. The district contains intermediate to low sulphidation epithermal silver and gold mineralization hosted in hydrothermal breccias and veins. Recent success in exploration and drilling has delineated wide, high-grade, shallow hydrothermal breccias in the San Marcial Area, including the SE Area discovery, where drilling incorporated into the updated March 2023 Plomosas Project mineral resource estimation highlighted an exploration opportunity for continuous resource growth.
