Multiple Rock Samples Returned Grades Exceeding 1,000 g/t Silver

Silver47 Exploration Corp. (TSXV: AGA,OTC:AAGAF) (OTCQB: AAGAF) (‘Silver47’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to report results from a property-wide soil geochemical survey and rock sampling program from its wholly owned Adams Plateau Project located in south-central British Columbia.

Highlights:

  • Extensive Coverage: Over 5,000 soil samples were collected over an approximate 35 km2 area with a focus on infilling and expanding the historical soil grids. Over 90 rock samples were also collected expanding surface mineralization.

  • High Grades Present: Multiple rock samples returned grades exceeding 1,000 g/t Ag (see table 1). Highlights Include:

    • 3,156 g/t silver equivalent* (2,310 g/t Ag, 1.7% Zn and 20.0% Pb**)

    • 2,154 g/t silver equivalent* (1,230 g/t Ag, 5.4% Zn and 20.0% Pb**)

    • 2,109 g/t silver equivalent* (835 g/t Ag, 13% Zn and 20.0% Pb**)

  • Anomalies locally extend zones with strong historic drilling results:

    • 4.8 m at 1,393 g/t silver equivalent* (348 g/t Ag, 0.72 g/t Au, 8.5% Zn, 18.8% Pb) in hole DH76-11.

    • 3.66 m at 468 g/t silver equivalent* (180 g/t Ag, 2.4% Zn, 5.7% Pb) in hole DH81-12.

  • Robust Anomalies: Numerous multi-element soil anomalies are defined and represent high-priority targets for further work including drill testing (see figure 1).

  • Unlocking New Search Space: Both the soil geochemical survey and rock sampling program are initial steps in pinpointing drill targets and unlocking a multi-km search space.

  • Red Mountain Assays Pending: Assays remain pending for 8 holes from the summer drill program at the Red Mountain Project, Alaska.

Galen McNamara, CEO, stated: Our work on the Adams Plateau Project represents an important step towards defining drill targets and realizing the full potential of this road-accessible project. The extensive surface mineralization on the Project is very encouraging and underscores the prospectivity of the Eagle Bay assemblage. Concurrently, the Company is looking forward to announcing its plans for a winter drill program at the Mogollon Project which will be guided by a set of precisely planned drill holes along the Queen Vein.’

Executive Chairman, Gary R. Thompson, stated: We are excited to have firmed up the widespread polymetallic mineralization at the Adams Plateau Project with great new results. Silver47 has a busy fall- winter planned with assays pending for 8 holes from the summer drill program at the Red Mountain VMS Project, Alaska and fall-winter drilling ramp-up on the Mogollon Silver-Gold Project, New Mexico.’

Adams Plateau Project

The road accessible Adams Plateau Project is located approximately 100 km north-east of Kamloops, British Columbia. Sediment-hosted polymetallic massive sulfide mineralization (silver, copper, gold, zinc and lead) at Adams Plateau is hosted within the prospective Eagle Bay assemblage. The project has excellent infrastructure including extensive road network from past logging activity, power and rail-lines and services are nearby.

Work in 2025 comprised project-wide soil and rock geochemical surveys (Figure 1). Grid-based soil sampling (5,002 samples) was designed to infill and expand on previous surveys aimed at covering the entirety of the prospective Eagle Bay assemblage across the project. Prospecting and rock sampling (83 samples) was also completed near previously reported high-grade soil and rock anomalies.

Results and highlights from 2025 rock sampling program include:

  • Lucky-Elsie: High-grade mineralization at the Lucky-Elsie area is characterized by a northeast-southwest trending 1.5 km zone of massive to semi-massive sulfide lenses, following the main foliation, which dips to the northwest. Grab samples from the trend returned up to 2,310 g/t Ag with 20.0% Pb and 1.7% Zn (J039530) and 1,230 g/t Ag with 20.0% Pb and 5.4% Zn (J039524, Figure 2 and Table 1).

  • Spar-Ex: High-grade mineralization at the Spar-Ex area is hosted in siliceous and graphitic phyllites of the Eagle Bay Assemblage with sulfides consisting of pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite. Semi-massive lenses are localized along folds and are locally thickened to approximately 3 m along a strike length of at least 365 meters. Grab samples from the area returned up to 344 g/t Ag with 11.4% Pb and 9.0% Zn (J039509) and 150 g/t Ag with 8.9% Pb and 2.7% Zn (J039758, Figure 2 and Table 1).

Results and highlights from the 2025 soil geochemical survey include:

  • Wad-Second (North): Approximately 2 km north of the WAD-Second showing, a northeast trending Pb-Zn-Cu soil anomaly was defined and underlain by the prospective Johnson Lake Unit of the Eagle Bay assemblage. The 500 m by 1,000 m multi-element anomaly is located on the western limb of the property-scale antiform.

  • Wad-Second (East): A second, northeast-southwest trending, approximately 1 km long, Ag-Pb-Zn soil anomaly was defined approximately 1 km east of WAD-Second showing. This soil anomaly is underlain by metamorphic rocks of the Eagle Bay assemblage.

  • Mosquito King East: A significant coincident Cu-Pb-Zn soil anomaly was outlined 1 km east of the Mosquito King occurrence, trending approximately north-south. The anomaly is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Eagle Bay assemblage.

  • King Tut East: A significant Pb-Zn soil anomaly with a lesser Ag-Cu anomaly was defined 1 km east of the King Tut occurrence on the contact of sedimentary rocks of the Eagle Bay assemblage and a quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusion. The anomalous zone near the hinge of a significant property-scale, north-south trending antiform.

  • Spar: A northeast-southwest trending Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu soil anomaly, approximately 1 km SW of the Spar occurrence was defined. The anomaly is underlain by prospective rocks of the Eagle Bay assemblage. The orthogonal orientation of the anomaly with respect to the underlying stratigraphy suggest a structural control on mineralization rather than stratabound.

Next Steps

These new rock and soil geochemical results together with the extensive historical geochemical database will be used to refine high-priority drill targets. The recently granted 5-year multi-year area-based (‘MYAB’) exploration permit provides the Company authorization to drill test many of the targets across the project area.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Rock and soil samples were bagged onsite and delivered to ALS Minerals Laboratories in Kamloops, British Columbia. ALS Kamloops / North Vancouver is certified with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accreditation from the Standards Council of Canada.

Rock samples were prepared (CRU-31, SPL-31 and PUL-31) and then analysed for 48 elements by ICP-MS on a 0.25-gram aliquot using a four-acid digestion (method ME-MS61). Gold was analyzed by fire assay on a 30-gram aliquot with an AA finish (Au-AA23). Overlimit samples (e.g. Ag, Cu, Pb & Zn) were re-analyzed using an ore-grade, four-acid digestion and ICP-AES finish (method ME-OG62).

Soil samples were field dried in a temperature-controlled field tent in camp before being shipped to the ALS lab. The samples were then screened to -180 microns (SCR-41) analysed using an aqua regia digestion followed by an ICP-MS finish (method ME-MS41). Gold was analyzed on a 25-gram aliquot with an ICP-MS finish (Au-ST43).

About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF)

We find the fuel to power a clean energy future

Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world’s richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 233,455 acres (94,476 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.

Standard Uranium’s Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.

Standard Uranium’s eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 42,384 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.

Standard Uranium’s Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.

President Donald Trump’s tariffs are hitting toy giants Mattel and Hasbro as the critical holiday season nears. Still, both companies see a successful year end ahead.

“This quarter, our U.S. business was again challenged by industry-wide shifts in retailer ordering patterns,” CEO Ynon Kreiz said on Mattel’s recent earnings call. “That said, consumer demand for our products grew in every region, including in the U.S.”

During the most recent quarter, which ended Sept. 30, Mattel said sales slipped 6% globally, led by a 12% decline in North America. International sales rose 3%.

Some of the company’s top performing categories included Hot Wheels and action figures, primarily from the “Jurassic World,” Minecraft and WWE franchises.

Other Mattel brands saw a drop in sales, however, including Barbie and Fisher-Price.

With retail stores waiting until the last minute to assess the level of tariffs that would apply to their holiday orders, Kreiz said “since the beginning of the fourth quarter, orders from retailers in the U.S. have accelerated significantly.”

Retailers “expect strong demand for the holiday and they are restocking,” he added.

Meanwhile, rival toy giant Hasbro’s revenue jumped 8% in the quarter and it raised its financial guidance for the rest of the year.

Key drivers of that included “Peppa Pig” and Marvel franchise toys, as well as the Wizards of the Coast games.

Hasbro “managed tariff volatility with agility” and used price hikes to protect its margins, said Gina Goetter, the company’s chief financial officer and chief operating officer.

The company remains “firmly on track” to achieve its financial targets.

“As we calculate the various scenarios of where that absolute rates will play out, we’re really putting all of our levers to work,” she said on the company’s recent earnings call.

“From how we think about pricing, how we’re thinking about our product mix, how we’re thinking about our supply chain, and how we’re managing all of our operating expenses to mitigate and offset the impact” of tariffs, she said.

For its part, Hasbro also saw “softness” in the U.S. during the quarter due to retail chains waiting longer to place holiday orders, but said momentum is accelerating as the season gets underway.

In July, Mattel’s chief financial officer, Paul Ruh, said that the company was raising prices because of tariffs.

“We have implemented a variety of actions that will help us withstand some of those headwinds and those include … supply chain efficiencies and some pricing adjustments, particularly in the U.S.,” Ruh said on the company’s earnings conference call.

“So with that array of actions, we’re able to withstand some of the uncertainty that is mostly coming in the top line,” Ruh said. “Our goal is to keep prices as low as possible for our consumers.”

Still, Kreiz said that “consumers are buying our products and the toy industry is growing.”

He also said that consumers are taking price hikes in stride and those increases haven’t hurt demand: “We are not seeing any slowdown in consumer demand so far.”

Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks said the company has also raised some prices, but it was “pretty surgical” in what it chose to adjust.

“In terms of ongoing pricing, I think we just kind of have to see how the holiday goes and the consumer holds up,” he told analysts on the company’s earnings call.

Cocks also cautioned that there may be a two-tier economy forming, something other executives and economists have observed in recent months.

“Right now, I think it’s really kind of a tale of two consumers. The top 20%, particularly in the U.S., continue to spend pretty robustly,” he said. “The balance of households are watching their wallets a bit more.”

On Friday, the Labor Department released the latest consumer price index data, which showed that inflation is rising at a 3% annual pace, up from August’s 2.9%.

In May, Kreiz told CNBC that approximately half of the company’s toys were sourced from China.

Beijing has faced some of the steepest tariffs from Washington of any U.S. trade partner, as Trump has rolled out his disruptive trade agenda this year.

Mattel’s Ruh said the company continued to adjust its supply chains in response to shifting global tariff policies.

“We will be continuing to work with our retailers to make sure that the product is on the shelf,” he said.

At the same time, Hasbro’s Goetter said the company is diversifying its supply chains away from high-tariff countries.

“By 2026, we expect approximately 30% of our total Hasbro toy and game revenue will be sourced from China and 30% of our revenue will be based in the U.S., as we opportunistically lean into our U.S. manufacturing capacity,” she said.
