Table 1. Santa Ana Mineral Resource Estimate

Notes:

  1. The effective date of this Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) is 26 April 2023.
  2. Rod Webster, MAIG, of AMC has conducted the MRE and is an independent QP.
  3. Mineral Resources are stated according to the CIM Definition Standards (2014).
  4. Mineral Resources were reported within potentially mineable shapes, assuming an underground mining method with a minimum mining width of 1.0 m.
  5. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
  6. The estimate is reported for an underground mining scenario using a Silver Equivalent (AgEq) cut-off grade of 158 g/t AgEq.
  7. Inputs were: silver price of US$25.0/oz, gold price of US$1,800.0/oz; mining cost of US$69.0/t, processing cost of US$32.0/t and G&A costs of US$13.0/t and metallurgical recoveries of 93% for Ag and 96% for Au.
  8. The AgEq was calculated using the prices (P), recoveries (R) and grades of each element using the following formula: AgEq g/t = Ag g/t +(((AuP*AuR)/(AgP*AgR))*Au g/t). No sales or marketing costs were considered.
  9. Bulk density values were interpolated for each of the mineralized veins with the global average at reporting AgEq cut- off for the entire Santa Ana deposit is 2.7 t/m3.
  10. 2D Accumulation method using Ordinary Kriging (OK) into blocks generally 10 m in size across and vertically down the vein. The block size along the dip direction covered the whole vein.
  11. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects.
