AbraSilver Resource Substantially Increases Total Diablillos Mineral Resources to 199 Million Ounces Contained Silver and 1.7 Million Ounces Contained Gold (350 Moz AgEq) in M&I

Updated MRE Highlights Significant Growth Primarily at Oculto & JAC, Plus Maiden Heap Leach Resource

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 29, 2025) - AbraSilver Resource Corp. (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF) ("AbraSilver" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a substantial increase to the Mineral Resource estimate ("MRE") on the Company's wholly owned Diablillos property in Argentina ("Diablillos" or the "Project").

The updated MRE now totals 104 million tonnes ("Mt") of ore, containing approximately 199 million ounces ("Moz") of silver and 1.72 Moz of gold (350 Moz silver-equivalent "AgEq") in the Measured & Indicated ("M&I") category. This total includes a maiden heap leach Mineral Resource estimate and reflects significant increases across five deposits (Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra) located at Diablillos

Key Highlights of the Updated MRE (Combined Tank and Heap Leach):

• Total M&I Mineral Resources (tank and heap leach) now stand at 104 Mt grading 59 g/t Ag and 0.51 g/t Au, containing 199 Moz Ag and 1.72 Moz Au (350 Moz AgEq).

• Tank leach Mineral Resource estimate totals 73 Mt grading 79 g/t Ag and 0.66 g/t Au, containing 186 Moz Ag and 1.55 Moz Au (327 Moz AgEq).

• Maiden heap leach MRE adds 31 Mt grading 13 g/t Ag and 0.16 g/t Au, containing 13 Moz Ag and 162 koz Au (23 Moz AgEq).

  • Based on lower-grade material contained with the constraining Whittle open pit, previously classified as waste, now recognized as potentially recoverable though a low-cost processing route.

Key Changes Compared to Prior MRE (Tank Leach Only):

• 25% increase in contained silver in M&I Mineral Resources to 186 Moz Ag from 148 Moz Ag.

• 14% increase in contained gold in M&I Mineral Resources to 1.55 Moz Au from 1.36Moz Au.

• 27% increase in M&I silver-equivalent ounces to 327 Moz AgEq from 258 Moz AgEq.

  • M&I Mineral Resources total 73.1 Mt grading 79 g/t Ag and 0.66 g/t Au (139 g/t AgEq).

  • Total Inferred Mineral Resources have increased by 330% and now contain 10 Moz Ag and 0.18 Moz Au (26.6 Moz AgEq).

  • The MRE contains only minerals in oxides, located across five Whittle constrained open-pits deposits (Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra).

• The largest uplift in the M&I MRE was driven by the JAC deposit, where tonnage increased by 148% and contained silver increased by 70% (refer to Table 3 for details) due primarily to additional exploration drilling.

• Significant exploration upside remains from the ongoing Phase V drill program, focused mainly at Oculto NE and other potential zones, with another MRE update expected in H1/26.

John Miniotis, President and CEO, commented, "We are very excited to report that M&I Mineral Resources at Diablillos have now grown to nearly 200 Moz of silver and over 1.7 Moz of gold. This substantial increase highlights the exceptional mineral endowment of our Project and our team's continued success in unlocking value through exploration. This updated Mineral Resource estimate will form the basis for the upcoming Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS"), which remains on track for completion in Q1/2026."

David O'Connor, Chief Geologist, stated, "The updated MRE demonstrates both the large-scale and high-quality of Diablillos. The JAC zone, in particular, has been a major driver of Mineral Resource growth and is expected to be a key focus of early mining stages, with its high-grade and near-surface location. With significant exploration potential still ahead of us from our ongoing Phase V drill program, we anticipate continued Mineral Resource expansion and additional discoveries across multiple targets."

Updated Tank Leach Mineral Resource Estimate Highlights Significant Growth at JAC and Oculto

The largest gains in the updated tank leach MRE stem from significant extensions at the JAC and Oculto deposits. These expansions underscore the high-grade continuity of mineralization at both deposits and their central role in supporting the upcoming mine plan. In total, the Diablillos project is now comprised of five deposits (Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra) containing defined Mineral Resources.

• At Oculto, M&I tonnage increased by 23%, with contained silver up 11% and gold up 14%. The growth is primarily driven by strong drill results from holes DDH-24-011, DDH-24-021, DDH-24-027, DDH-24-031, DDH-24-034, DDH-24-043, DDH-24-049, DDH-24-051, DDH-24-052, DDH-25-011 and DDH-25-024, which extended both the Silver Enrichment and Deep Gold zones to the northeast.

• At JAC, M&I Mineral Resources increased by 148% in tonnage, with contained silver rising 70% and contained gold up 23%. This substantial increase reflects the success of the Phase IV drilling campaign, which focused on extending the orebody to the southwest and expanding the margins, further highlighting the potential of high-grade, near-surface silver mineralization in this area.

• At Fantasma, M&I Mineral Resources grew by 54% in tonnage and 6% in contained silver. The increase in metal price assumptions has upgraded material previously classified as waste into lower grade mineralization, enhancing the size of the Mineral Resource in this area.

• At Laderas, M&I tonnage rose by 74%, with contained silver up 79% and gold up 21%. As with Fantasma, higher metal price assumptions have led to the reclassification of material previously categorized as waste into lower grade silver and gold mineralization.

• At Sombra, the initial M&I Mineral Resource is supported by 11 initial drill holes in this newly discovered area. Drill holes DDH-24-069, DDH-24-062, DDH-24-036, DDH-25-019 and DDH-25-026 confirm the potential of this zone. Although still at an early stage, Sombra shows significant potential as the mineralization lies beneath only 35 metres of easily mineable unconsolidated colluvial cover.

Heap Leach Mineral Resource Estimate

The inclusion of a maiden heap leach Mineral Resource estimate marks an important milestone for Diablillos. This additional M&I tonnage of 30.8 Mt of lower-grade material is contained within the same constraining Whittle open pit as described above for the tank leach MRE. The vast majority of this tonnage, which is sourced from the Oculto deposit, was previously classified as waste and now provides the opportunity to reduce the strip ratio and further enhance overall Project economics. Preliminary metallurgical testwork has demonstrated that the heap leach material offers a potential incremental, cost-effective processing route that complements the primary tank leach circuit. A Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") evaluating the additional heap leach potential is planned for completion in H1 2026.

Significant Exploration Upside Potential

There remains substantial potential to further expand the Diablillos Mineral Resource estimate within the existing deposits, particularly at Oculto East. Ongoing and planned drilling is aimed at both step-out exploration and defining new high-grade zones to extend the current Mineral Resources. The Company is advancing its fully-funded Phase V drill program, which includes an additional 20,000 metres of drilling scheduled for completion by early 2026.

Existing Deposits:

• Oculto: Ongoing exploration is focused on extending known zones of mineralization, particularly towards the northeast, where Oculto East represents a key growth opportunity. Results from recently announced hole DDH 25-024, with 31m @ 9.96g/t Au and 16.2g/t Ag, show the very high-grade gold potential of the Oculto East area, and follow up drilling is underway with three rigs. Geological interpretation has identified several structures in the area with high-grade gold potential.

• JAC: Upcoming drilling will test the margins of the conceptual constraining open pit where mineralization remains open.

• Sombra: An initial Mineral Resource has now been established, and additional drilling is planned to expand this new discovery. The mineralized zone is very shallow, covered by unconsolidated colluvium, and is open along strike. Drilling was postponed here following the high-grade gold intercept at Oculto East, which became the priority exploration area.

Diablillos Porphyry Complex:

• Cerro Viejo: The shallow intercept of 36.0m at 1.91 g/t gold in hole DDH 24-056 in the root zone of epithermal mineralization at Cerro Viejo is scheduled for follow-up drilling later this year. Mapping has shown that gold mineralized silicified zones extend significantly towards the west of hole DDH 24-056.

• Cerro Blanco: This is the highest priority area for porphyry style mineralization based on shallow historical Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill results and surface rock chip sampling of a mineralized breccia zone. The area has been mapped in detail and surface sampling completed in preparation for a deeper drilling program expected to commence before the end of August 2025.

Mineral Resource Estimate Methodology

• The tank leach open pit constrained MRE for Diablillos is based on a Net Value per Block methodology that results in an approximate cut-off grade of approximately 39 g/t AgEq, derived from assumptions regarding specified metal prices and estimated operating costs for mining, processing and G&A.

• The updated processing assumptions now incorporate a secondary lower cost heap leaching metal recovery process for lower-grade material, complementing the primary tank leaching. The heap leach MRE has also employed a Net Value per Block method that results in a cut-off grade of approximately 22 g/t AgEq.

• The updated MRE was prepared by Luis Rodrigo Peralta, B.Sc., FAusIMM CP (Geo), Independent Consultant, in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards incorporated, by reference, and in compliance with National Instrument NI 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and has been reviewed internally by AbraSilver.

• The MRE incorporates approximately 157,211 metres of drilling from 733 drill holes (both historical and current).

• The MRE is based on the Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra deposits within the broader Diablillos property, reported within a constraining Whittle open pit shell. The cut-off grade was determined using a Net Value per Block calculation, factoring in the economic parameters outlined in the Supporting Technical Disclosure section below.

• Gold and silver grades were estimated into the block model using RC and Diamond Drill Holes (DDH), including drilling completed up to March 30, 2025. Industry-standard estimation methodologies were applied, including Ordinary Kriging (OK) and validation against an Inverse Distance squared estimate (ID²). Drill hole intervals were composited to a length of 1 metre, which is the average sampling length for core sampling.

• Grade capping was applied to composited grade intervals on a case-by-case basis for each estimation domain. Domains were defined by a combination of lithology, alteration, and oxide / sulphide state, resulting in a total of 24 estimation domains for gold and silver.

Supporting Technical Disclosure

• Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

• The MRE incorporates geological and structural constraints and is constrained by an optimized Whittle open pit containing a total of 103.9 Mt of M&I Mineral Resources and 514 Mt of waste.

• Individual metals are reported at 100% of in-situ grades.

• The effective date of the MRE is July 21, 2025 and is based on drilling through March 30, 2025.

• There are no known legal, political, environmental, or other risks that could materially affect the potential development of the Mineral Resource.

• Key Assumptions are outlined below (all figures are in US dollars unless otherwise noted):

  • Commodity prices used were US$ 27.50/oz Ag price and US $2,400/oz Au price

  • Note: Commodity price assumptions were guided by the NI 43-101 requirement for the Mineral Resource to have 'reasonable prospects' of eventual economic extraction.

• Metallurgical recoveries: tank leach metallurgical recoveries applied to the Mineral Resources were obtained from a geo-metallurgical model that has been built, based on metallurgical test works performed at SGS Canada. This model incorporates five domains applied into the block model, based on a master composite for each, based on 15 samples per domain approximately. A fixed value of metallurgical recovery has been applied to each domain. Overall average of these five domains are 87% for gold and 83% for silver, respectively.

• Metallurgical recoveries: heap leach metallurgical recoveries were obtained from a preliminary bottle roll test work campaign on the lower grade mineralization. Recovery assumptions of 58% for gold and 80% for silver were used.

• Operating cost estimations: mining costs of $1.94/t; tank leach processing costs of $22.96/t and G&A costs of $3.32/t. As for the heap leach an overall processing cost of $11.31/t respectively.

• Open pit slopes: Open pit shell slope angles applied are based on 2022 geotechnical drilling and modelling. Six geotechnical sectors have been defined. The average overall angle assumed for open pit shell optimization was 51 degrees.

• A Net Value per block [NVB] calculation was used to constrain the Mineral Resource, determine the "Benefits = Income-Cost", where, Income = [(Au Selling Price (US$/oz) - Au Selling Cost (USD/Oz)) x (Au grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Au Recovery (%)] + [(Ag Selling Price (US$/oz) - Ag Selling Cost (USD/Oz)) x (Ag grade (g/t)/31.1035)) x Ag Recovery (%)] and Cost = Mining Cost (US$/t) + Process Cost (US$/t) + Transport Cost (US$/t) + G&A Cost (US$/t) + [Royalty Cost (%) x Income].

• The formula for calculating AgEq is as follows: Silver Eq Oz = Silver Oz + Gold Oz x (Gold Price/Silver Price) x (Gold Recovery/Silver Recovery).

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols

AbraSilver applies industry standard exploration methodologies and techniques, and all drill core samples are collected under the supervision of the Company's geologists in accordance with industry best practices. Drill core is transported from the drill platform to the logging facility where drill data is compared and verified with the core in the trays. Thereafter, it is logged, photographed, and split by diamond saw prior to being sampled. Samples are then bagged, and quality control materials are inserted at regular intervals at site; these include blanks and certified reference materials as well as duplicate core samples which are collected in order to assess sampling precision and reproducibility. Groups of samples are then placed in large bags which are sealed with numbered tags in order to maintain a chain-of-custody during the transport of the samples from the project site to the laboratory.

All samples are received by the ASA (Alex Stewart Argentina) preparation laboratory in Salta, where they are prepared, then the pulp sachet is directly dispatched to its facility in Mendoza, Argentina, where they are analyzed. All samples are analyzed using a multi-element technique consisting of a four-acid digestion followed by ICP/AES detection, and gold is analyzed by 50g Fire Assay with an AAS finish. Silver results greater than 100g/t are re-analyzed using four acid digestion with an ore grade AAS finish.
