Silver X Discovers Disseminated Gold and Silver Targets Beside Current Operations at Tangana

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2022 / SILVER X MINING CORP. (TSX-V:AGX) (OTCQB:AGXPF) (F:WPZ) ("Silver X" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the discovery of multiple disseminated gold-silver targets at Ccasahuasi (the "Ccasahuasi Project", covering concessions Ichupata 11, Ichupata 13, Ichupata 14, Karla 76 and Lily 19) that is located within 1.5 km from the Company's existing Tangana mine (the "Project") see Figure 1. The Ccasahuasi project covers 1,350 ha including a 160 ha intensely altered target zone that was first identified through geological mapping and sampling done by the company in 2021. The Ccasahuasi project a volcanic-hosted disseminated gold-silver target that covers a 1,650 m x 1,000 m zone along strike from the Company's Tangana mine. The disseminated gold-silver mineralization is related to multiple diorite dykes that intruded the volcanic host rock.

Geological field work and TerraSpec studies suggests that Ccasahuasi has nearly-barren remnants of steam heated, high sulfidation alteration covering the gold mineralization across the concession. The preservation of a barren mineral cap suggests that most of the mineralized system below may be preserved.

The Ccasahuasi project is 25 kilometres away from Pan American Silver Corporation's ("Pan American") Pico Machay project that hosts a 2011 resource of 4.7 MT at 0.91 g/t Au (137.5 koz Au) - Measured, 5.9 MT at 0.67 g/t Au (127.1 koz Au) - Indicated, and 23.9 MT at 0.58 g/t Au (445.7 koz Au) - Inferred [Pan American Silver News Release August 10, 2022]. In Pico Machay gold mineralization has been tested up to 350 m below the surface.

Ccasahuasi and Pan American's Pico Machay lie within the southern extent of the Central Peru Epithermal Gold-Silver Belt which is one of three epithermal belts in Peru that are host to significant gold deposits like Corihuarmi or Pico Machay. High sulphidation gold deposits represent the major producers (Yanacocha and Pierina, Peru) and the last undeveloped resources (Pascua Lama, Chile) in the South American Andes.

In the coming months, the Company is planning a short exploratory drill program at Ccasahuasi to expand known mineralization at depth and to test additional zones of alteration. Silver X is also planning a further surface sampling campaign that will step out from the south and east to test assess additional anomalous gold results.

The following table summarizes the results of the preliminary sampling conducted on the Ccasahuasi project by the Company:

"Ccasahuasi is in the right neighbourhood and preliminary sampling suggests there is significant potential for a large, disseminated gold target" stated Carlos Saban, Head of Exploration for Silver X. "The Chonta Fault that runs through the district created a prospective environment for gold mineralization as seen by the resource at Pan American's Pico Machay and at our own Tangana operation. We are excited to begin a surface drilling programme that will help us better understand the target."

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.
