Silver X Reports Steady Performance During First Quarter of Commercial Production

Solid results amid improving efficiencies and throughput while ramp up of production continues at Nueva Recuperada

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 11, 2023 / Silver X Mining Corp. (TSXV:AGX)(OTCQB:AGXPF)(F:AGX) ("Silver X" or the "Company") reports production results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, for the Company's wholly-owned Nueva Recuperada project in central Peru.

First Quarter 2023 Production Highlights

• Declared commercial production in January 2023 and returned to targeted throughput in January after a period of social disruption in Peru.
• Total production of 282,687 silver equivalent ("AgEq") ⁽²⁾ ounces with an average head grade of 277 g/t AgEq.
• Ramp up continues with record throughput of 17,239 tonnes at 575 tonnes per day in March 2023.
• Processed 265% more AgEq ounces in the first quarter ("Q1") of 2023 as compared with Q1 2022, equating to 358,727 AgEq ounces compared with 98,327 AgEq ounces, respectively.

"I am pleased to report positive momentum and strong operating performance in our first quarter of commercial production at Nueva Recuperada," stated José M. García, President and CEO of Silver X. "Despite supply shortages in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to road blockages in Peru, we achieved record performance in March of 17,500 tonnes processed at a rate of 575 tonnes per day. Throughput continues to increase along with improved ore selectivity and stronger mine development translating into better head grades. These outcomes reflect Silver X's dedication to efficiency and signal the potential for positive results in future quarters."

First Quarter 2023 Production Results - Nueva Recuperada

Notes:

1. Nueva Recuperada completed in December 2022 the ramp up period of its operations and declared the start of the Commercial production in January 2023.
2. AgEq ounces produced were calculated based on all metals produced using the average sales prices of each metal for each month during the period. Revenues from concentrate sales does not consider metallurgical recoveries in the calculations as the metal recoveries are built into the sales amounts. In Q1 2023, AgEq was calculated using metal prices of US$22.59 per oz Ag, U$1,889 per oz Au, US$0.97 per lb of Pb and US$1.42 per lb of Zn. In Q1 2022, AgEq was calculated using metal prices of US$24.46 per oz Ag, U$1,934 per oz Au, US$1.07 per lb of Pb and US$1.83 per lb of Zn. In Q4 2022, AgEq was calculated using metal prices of US$22.70 per oz Ag, U$1,765 per oz Au, US$1.00 per lb of Pb and US$1.38 per lb of Zn.

Production was maintained at the previous quarter's level. The head grades mined were lower due to stope selection of lower grading blocks to avoid poor gold recoveries for the higher quality ores while the plant's gold circuit was repaired. Ore purchased from third parties increased the overall quantity of ore processed and represents overall 2.2% of total ore processed.

Underground development was emphasized with 649 meters of advances on the T1 and T2 veins on the levels 4700 and 4550. Silver X is planning to continue drilling at Tangana, particularly T1, T2 and T3 with up to 16 drillholes underneath the known mineralized zones, totaling 3,800 meters. Furthermore, additional surface drilling on the T1 vein is intended to prove up the extension of the vein on strike for more than 500 meters.

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.
