Silver X Delineates Structurally Controlled Gold Mineralization Within the Tangana Mining Unit of the Nueva Recuperada Project, Peru

• Visible gold found in channel samples from Tangana 1 Vein with percentage-levels of contained gold
• Review of district geology, current and historical drilling and channel assays delineate a zone of elevated, higher grade gold mineralization within the Tangana Mining Unit ("TMU")
• TMU gold mineralization likely genetically related to high sulphidation systems observed at neighbouring Ccasahuasi and Arcopunco gold prospects
• Gold grades yielding higher payable metal in concentrate sales

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 19, 2022 / SILVER X MINING CORP. (TSXV:AGX)(OTCQB:AGXPF) ("Silver X" or the "Company") is pleased to report that a comprehensive review of the district geology, current and historical data for the Nueva Recuperada project has delineated an extensive zone of elevated gold mineralization within the silver-polymetallic veins of the Tangana Mining Unit ("TMU"). The current development phases in the Tangana 1 operation of the TMU have now cut throughthis high-grade gold zone and they have encountered sporadic occurrences of percentage-grade visible gold (Figure 1).

Surface and underground grade control channel samples for the elevated gold zone grade up to 4.85 g/T Au (see Table 1). Furthermore, recent concentrate sale values have been bolstered by the additional gold mineralization and the Recuperada processing plant has begun installing a SEPRO Mineral Systems, Falcon centrifugal concentrator in front of the flotation circuits to improve gold recovery. The vein-controlled gold mineralization appears to be genetically related to the high sulphidation gold systems first observed at the Ccasahuasi and Arcopunco prospects.

The higher grades of the intrusions are contained in hydrothermal breccias with high sulphidation alteration signatures (alunite-pyrophyllite-dickite) and contain greater than 1g/t Au. These zones will be the immediate focus of further exploration (Figure 2).

Chief Executive Officer, Jose Garcia commented: "This mining district has traditionally been regarded as a purely silver and base-metals mining camp. Our understanding of the geology of the Tangana Mining Unit area has completely changed. We are now recognizing that late-stage dykes have exploited the existing silver and base metal vein structures with an overprint of high grade, gold bearing, intermediate to high sulfidation mineralization associated with centrally located intrusions. The intrusions, such as Ccasahuasi and Arcopunco, also contain potentially viable grades similar to other intrusion hosted gold deposits in the South American cordillera. Gold is now adding substantially to our bottom line in the payments we have received from our offtake partners where it comprised up to 38% of the gross value of our concentrate sales in Q2 2022, and a strategy is in preparation to target at least two other veins in the Tangana Mining Unit where past sampling has returned assays containing high gold grades".

*All samples have been collected, processed and data recorded per the fully NI 43-101 compliant Silver X corporate QAQC procedures that follow, meet and exceed industry best practice standards. The data generated is considered reliable and accurate. Analyses are for Au 30 gm Fire assay with AA/Gravity finishes, multi-element analyses for Ag, Pb, Zn, and Cu are by MS ICP with four acid digestion at both exploration and ore grades, and also by chemical wet methods. These are conducted both at the Nueva Recuperada plant's laboratory with QAQC done with the accredited CERTIMIN laboratory in Lima, or solely by the CERTIMIN Lima Laboratory.

Enhanced gold distribution in the TMU is linked to the presence of biotitic, granodiorite dykes that post-date the polymetallic vein mineralization which has been the traditional target for exploration and mining in this district. It appears that these dykes tectonically reactivated the TMU vein structures resulting in the enrichment of gold and silver grades in the veins now being mined (Figure 3).

Review of verified historical data along with results of current exploration mapping and sampling to date have shown that the Asia and Hilda veins in the Pucapunta area are the most immediately prospective structures for high grade gold. For example, verified historical data from Buenaventura mining operations in 2000 were used in part to prepare the Asia and Hilda veins long sections. The verified historic vein resource block data inherited from Buenaventura has an average width of 1.17m containing 1.84 g/t Au. The current resource estimates for these two veins are considered reliable, but, due to limited underground access for current sampling, the veins' grade values are lower than the historic values. During future exploration work, the Company will extensively resample the two veins for the purpose of carrying out a new resource estimate (Figures 4 and 5).

Cautionary Note regarding Production without Mineral Reserves

The decision to commence production at the Nueva Recuperada project and the Company's ongoing mining operations as referenced herein (the "Production Decision and Operations") are based on economic models prepared by the Company in conjunction with management's knowledge of the property and the existing estimate of inferred mineral resources on the property. The Production Decision and Operations are not based on a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with the Production Decision and Operations, in particular: the risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional construction or ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than expected; and production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with NI 43-101.
