We are proud to announce the exercise of the options to acquire La Joya from First Majestic. Our team has done an excellent job establishing a positive working relationship with the local communities and advancing the project, particularly when you consider we entered into this agreement during the height of Covid-19 restrictions," said Mike Romanik, president of Silver Dollar. "We have completed almost 6,000 metres of exploration drilling thus far, with results that include the discovery of the Brazo area, and continue with our new target development work. We would also like to thank the local communities for their cooperation and support."

Pursuant to an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated August 7, 2020 (the "Effective Date"), as amended by an amending agreement dated March 28, 2023 (the "Amending Agreement"), among the Company and First Majestic, First Majestic granted the Company an exclusive option to acquire an initial 80% interest and if exercised, a second option to acquire the remaining 20% interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Majestic that holds the Property through its wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary by making certain payments, incurring certain expenditures and issuing securities.

The closing of the Acquisition is subject to the provision of standard closing deliverables and is expected to be completed shortly. The Company will issue a subsequent news release announcing the closing of the Acquisition when completed.

A copy of the Option Agreement, the Amending Agreement, and the Company's news release dated August 10, 2020, which contains additional information regarding the Property, are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
