Rio Silver Inc. Reports Initial Metallurgical Results for Maria Norte Silver-Gold-Lead Property Rio Silver Inc. provided an update on the progress made by the Company regarding its ongoing metallurgical work on the Maria Norte silver-gold-lead property. The most recent metallurgical results indicate that high silver and gold recoveries are achievable. The Maria Norte silver-gold-lead property is located in the historic Huachocolpa Mining District in central Peru and covers an area of approximately 388 hectares. The Property is accessible by road and is adjacent to Silver X’s Tangana mining unit currently in production. Permitting is in progress and documentation has been submitted. Bulk sampling extraction is permitted while awaiting final approval for the environmental permit (IGAC) from the Peruvian government. Initial metallurgical results have confirmed the high recoveries of silver and gold at Maria Norte. The zinc content is determined to be insignificant compared with the silver-gold-lead. Metallurgical work and future processing focused on the recoveries of silver-gold-lead and therefore, the Company will design its processing methods to produce two concentrates consisting of a silver-gold-lead concentrate and a lower grade gold-silver-pyrite concentrate with minor amounts of lead. More importantly concentrates are expected to contain low amounts of arsenic. A large composite sample over several tens of metres was recently taken from one of the surface showings exposing a quartz-lead (“Qtz-Pb”) sulphide vein with widths varying between 0.3 to 1.0 metre in width. The head grade of the composite sample returned 3.00 grams per metric tonne gold and 4.32 ounces per metric tonne silver, 4.05% lead and 1.61% lead oxide. Metallurgical results using flotation methods produced two concentrates. The first concentrate returned a mineral to concentrate ratio of 25 to 1, assaying 14.57 grams per metric tonne gold, 53.64 ounces per metric tonne silver, and 54.17% lead. The second concentrate showed a mineral to concentrate ratio of 6.2 to 1 assaying 10.16 grams per metric tonne gold, 9.67 ounces per metric tonne silver and 13.85% lead. Both concentrates returned low arsenic levels returning 0.33% and 0.36% respectfully. Jeffrey Reeder P.Geo, a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101, has prepared, supervised the preparation or approved of the scientific and technical disclosure contained in this news release. The metallurgical work was performed by Jose Orlando Moncada Rejas, Ing, who is the metallurgist responsible for the work performed. Assaying of the material was performed by Procesmin Ingenieros SRL, located in Caraz Ancash, by fire assay for gold-silver. Ankündigung • Apr 02

Rio Silver Inc. Highlights Underexplored Silver-Gold Potential at Maria Norte Within Proven Peruvian Mining District Rio Silver Inc. is providing geological and operational context for its Maria Norte Project by discussing its location within the same regional mineralized corridor as the adjacent Tangana Mining Unit, operated by Silver X Mining Corp., based on publicly available disclosures and technical reporting. The Company believes this context is useful in illustrating the proven endowment of the district, while noting that mineralization on adjacent or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Company's property. Maria Norte hosts multiple mapped mineralized structures, including the Castor, the Maria, the Pamela and Jess Veins, and additional prominent vein and vein splays, together with approximately 500 metres of the Las Animas vein set, which is also mapped within SilverX's West Tangana area. These vein systems occur along the same regional structural corridor and lie approximately 600 metres from vein extensions currently comprising SilverX's Tangana Mining Unit, separated by a regional fault. Mineralized exposures traced at Maria Norte to date, extending up to approximately 1,000 metres to date, show elevated silver and gold values with lesser lead and zinc, consistent with a silver-dominant vein system. By comparison, the Tangana area historically operated as a lead-zinc mining camp between 1960 and 1975, during which approximately 234,098 tonnes were extracted from four principal vein sets across a combined horizontal extent of approximately 2.5 kilometres and a vertical range of approximately 960 metres, as disclosed by SilverX. At Maria Norte, evidence of a rumoured historic tunnel or adit of approximately 400 metres is supported by the presence of a reclaimed waste dump. A single independent reference sample collected from this dump returned 12.7 ounces per tonne silver and 2.194 g/t gold. This material was historically discarded as uneconomic under previous operating conditions. This sample is not representative of mineralization at Maria Norte and should not be relied upon.

Rio Silver Launches Metallurgical Program to De-Risk Processing and Optimize Silver Recoveries At Maria Norte Rio Silver Inc. has initiated metallurgical testwork that will assist in designing a process flow sheet to optimize silver recoveries from planned mineral extraction and processing activities at its Maria Norte Project, Peru. This is an important step in defining the metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization at Maria Norte. Results of this work will assist the Company in assessing the Project's potentials value. It is expected that continuing metallurgical work will pursue optimization within a disciplined, low-capital-intensity development framework. Representative samples of mineralization collected along the targeted Maria Vein, beginning at the planned portal access site and extending along surface exposures, have been submitted to Asesor Procesos Metalurgicos, a specialist firm in mineral processing circuit analysis and design based in Trujillo, Peru. The metallurgical work is being led by Jose Orlando Moncada Rojas and is focused on: Characterizing silver mineralization and liberation behavior; Evaluating processing responses and recovery optimization; Designing a preliminary processing flow sheet aligned with third-party toll-milling scenarios. Upon completion of the analytical review and process engineering phase, check samples will be submitted to Certimin in Lima for an independent follow-up check of the proposed flow sheet design and metallurgical results. This staged approach is intended to provide technical confidence ahead of processing, while maintaining flexibility and capital discipline. What's Next: Completion of metallurgical characterization and flow sheet design; Independent verification and certification of results by Certimin in Lima; Integration of metallurgical outcomes into processing and toll-milling planning; Alignment of processing parameters with access, permits, and operational sequencing; Continued advancement toward initial processing activities targeted for late 2026 or early 2027. For investors, metallurgy is one of the most important technical de-risking steps on the path to processing and cash flow. Positive, independently verified metallurgical results validate recovery assumptions, confirm processing routes, and underpin economic decision-making. At Maria Norte, this work directly supports Rio Silver's capital-efficient, third-party processing strategy by reducing uncertainty before access and material movement begins. As silver prices remain strong, projects that methodically de-risk metallurgy while preserving a low-capex development model are increasingly well positioned to convert geological potential into realizable value.

Rio Silver Initiates Process to Access High-Grade Silver Surface Mineralization and Enable Underground Access at Maria Norte Rio Silver Inc. is commencing the regulatory process required to enable physical access at its Maria Norte Project, formally engaging Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines through its General Directorate of Mining (DGM), alongside the National Superintendency for the Control of weapons and Explosives for Civilian Use (SUCAMEC). Together, the Company's established exploration and exploitation access agreements, combined with the advancement of required permits and ongoing coordination with the president of the local community, constitute the regulatory and social steps required to access exposed surface mineralization, prepare portal access, and support a staged transition underground along the mineralized structures. At Maria Norte, high-grade silver mineralization has been visually confirmed at surface, providing clear and direct targets for planned initial access. Blasting and explosive permits are required to safely break rock, access these exposed veins, and prepare portal entry ahead of any underground advancement. The permitting process in Peru involves sequential approvals, including: Mining activity authorization with the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM); Explosives use permit issued by SUCAMEC; Explosives purchase authorization issued by SUCAMEC. Under standard regulatory timelines, this permitting process typically requires several months to complete. Based on current engagement and procedural progress, the Company expects to receive the required permits during Second Quarter, subject to regulatory review. Once permits are received and initial access is established, future exploration planning is expected to focus on evaluating strike continuity and depth potential for long term exploitation. High-Grade Silver Confirmed by Verification Sampling: As part of the independent National Instrument 43-101 review, verification sampling was conducted by James A.McCrea, P.Geo., the independent author of the NI 43-101 Technical Report, during a site visit to the Maria Norte Project in June 2025. Sampling targeted surface vein exposures and historic waste material and returned high-grade silver values, including: 869 g/t silver, with associated lead and zinc, from a 0.5-metre surface vein channel sample; 991 g/t silver from a 0.7-metre surface vein channel samples; 396 g/t silver from a historic waste dump grab sample.

Rio Silver Inc. Provides Shareholders with A Five-Step Plan to Access High-Grade Surface Silver and Advance Toward Near-Term Production At Maria Norte Rio Silver Inc. outlined the clear steps required to begin accessing high-grade silver mineralization at surface and advance into underground development at the Maria Norte Project, located in Peru's prolific Huachocolpa silver district. Recent NI 43-101 verification sampling confirmed high-grade silver mineralization exposed at surface, reinforcing the Company's confidence in a development strategy that targets the most accessible and economically attractive portions of the system first. Initial development is expected to commence by accessing surface and near-surface mineralization, with material transported to nearby third-party processing facilities, eliminating the need to construct standalone processing infrastructure. Maria Norte benefits from established site access, proximity to operating mills, and a regulatory framework that allows development and exploration activities to proceed in parallel. Together, these factors support a low-capital, fast-track pathway from exposed mineralization toward potential cash flow, while preserving meaningful upside as underground access expands. Rio Silver's near-term plan prioritizes accessing exposed, high-grade mineralization first, followed by advancing portal access to unlock additional high-grade zones below surface. Several steps are expected to occur concurrently over the coming two quarters: Community Engagement and Site Access Finalization: The Company continues constructive engagement with local leadership. The newly appointed community president is expected to convene a local assembly in the coming weeks to support final site access arrangements, enabling development activities to proceed in alignment with community priorities. Camp Mobilization Using Existing Infrastructure: Rio Silver has identified existing camp facilities in the area that can be leased, allowing rapid mobilization of personnel and equipment. This approach enables camp operations and early development work to begin without delays associated with new construction. Accessing High-Grade Surface Mineralization: Initial development efforts will focus on exposed surface veins and near- surface, where high-grade silver has already been confirmed. These areas represent the most direct and capital-efficient opportunity to begin extracting mineralized material while portal access is prepared. Portal Preparation and Transition Underground: In parallel with surface access, the Company will advance portal preparation to enable underground entry. Portal access is expected to provide direct access to the vein system at shallow depths, allowing Rio Silver to automatically advance along strike and at depth toward additional high-grade zones. Maria Norte is located within trucking distance of multiple operating processing facilities. The Company intends to utilize contract (toll) milling, enabling mined material to be transported and processed without constructing a standalone plant, significantly reducing capital intensity and accelerating the development timeline. The Company's initial focus is on accessing high-grade mineralization exposed at surface while advancing portal access in parallel, enabling early tonnes to be mined while underground development progresses along the vein system. A Proven, Capital-Efficient Development Model: The Company's strategy at Maria Norte reflects a well-established development model used throughout Peru's historic silver districts. High-grade mineralization is exposed at surface and continues along known structures, allowing development to begin with the most accessible material while progressing underground. By focusing first on surface and shallow mineralization, Rio Silver can advance portal access and underground development while minimizing upfront capital expenditures. This approach allows the Company to prioritize high-grade mineralization, manage risk, and preserve flexibility as additional exploration and development opportunities are evaluated. Strategic Location Within a Mature Milling Corridor: Maria Norte is located approximately 2.5 kilometres from a planned 3,000 tonne-per-day processing facility outlined in a recently published preliminary economic assessment by a nearby operator in the district. Rio Silver controls approximately 400 metres of the Tangana West vein, a structure historically recognized as one of the most prospective trends in the area. While multiple operators have worked within the broader corridor, Rio Silver's ownership of this portion of the system provides direct exposure to a mineralized trend that has supported development activity elsewhere in the district, reinforcing the Company's development activity in the district, reinforcing the company's confidence in a development strategy.
