Proposed Business Combination Transaction
On April 26, 2026, the Company and Arcus Development Group Inc. (TSXV:ADG) ("Arcus", and together with Core Silver, the "Companies") entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") between the Companies to effect a business combination transaction that will result in the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Arcus (each, an "Arcus Share", and collectively, the "Arcus Shares") by Core Silver on a 1:1 basis in an all share transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") to ultimately form a combined company (the "Resulting Issuer"). The Companies also entered into a definitive option (the "Option Agreement") between the Companies, pursuant to which Core Silver may acquire up to a 20% undivided interest in Arcus' Touleary property, which is comprised of 397 mining claims located approximately 100 kilometres south of Dawson City, Yukon (the "Touleary Project").
Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, it is intended that the Proposed Transaction be effected by way of a plan of arrangement, three-cornered amalgamation, share exchange or such other transaction structure as will result in Arcus becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Core Silver or otherwise combining its corporate existence with that of Core Silver. The final structure of the Proposed Transaction is subject to receipt by the parties of tax, corporate, and securities law advice and will be agreed to pursuant to definitive agreement in respect of the Proposed Transaction (the "Definitive Agreement"). The LOI provides for customary deal protection provisions, including non-solicitation covenants. Each of Core Silver and Arcus have made customary representations and warranties and covenants in the LOI, including covenants regarding the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the signing of the Definitive Agreement and closing of the Proposed Transaction.
The Proposed Transaction will be subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, including non-objection or final acceptance from the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") and TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), respectively. The Proposed Transaction is also expected to require the approval of the holders of Arcus Shares (the "Arcus Shareholders") and, if consummated by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), will require the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Resulting Issuer will carry on the business currently carried on by Core Silver and Arcus.
There are currently 32,920,565 common shares of Core Silver (each, a "Core Silver Share", and collectively, the "Core Silver Shares") issued and outstanding, and 21,221,140 Arcus Shares issued and outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Core Silver will issue one (1) Core Silver Share in exchange for every one (1) Arcus Share held by an Arcus Shareholder at the effective time of the Proposed Transaction, for an aggregate of approximately 21,221,140 Core Silver Shares. Current issued and outstanding share purchase warrants and stock options of Arcus will be treated in accordance with their respective terms and conditions; it is expected that upon completion of the Proposed Transaction each will remain exercisable on their existing terms and conditions for one (1) Core Silver Share.
Accordingly, upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that:
-
the Arcus Shareholders will hold approximately 39.2% of the 54,141,705 issued and outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer (each, a "Resulting Issuer Share", and collectively, the "Resulting Issuer Shares") on a non-diluted basis; and
-
3 -
- there will be approximately 91,352,538 Resulting Issuer Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, comprised of 54,141,705 Resulting Issuer Shares, 34,043,333 share purchase warrants (each, a "Warrant", and collectively, the "Warrants"), 1,350,000 restricted share units (each an "RSU" and collectively the "RSUs"), and 1,817,500 stock options (each, a "Stock Option", and collectively, the "Stock Options"), with each Warrant and Stock Option being exercisable for one (1) Resulting Issuer Share, and each RSU vesting into one (1) Resulting Issuer Share.
Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including but not limited to: (a) the parties entering into a Definitive Agreement; (b) the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent set forth in the LOI and the Definitive Agreement; and (c) the receipt of all required shareholder, regulatory, and other approvals. There is no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. Upon entering into the Definitive Agreement, the Company and Arcus will issue a subsequent news release containing the material details of the Definitive Agreement and any updates for the Proposed Transaction. Further detailed information regarding the Proposed Transaction will be included in the management information circular that Arcus will mail in due course to the Arcus Shareholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction, if and as required by applicable laws and the policies of the TSXV.
No finder's fee of any kind shall be paid as a direct result of, or in association with, the Proposed Transaction.
Definitive Option Agreement for Touleary Project
During the term of the Option Agreement, the Company has been granted an exclusive option (the "Option") to acquire up to a 20% undivided interest in the Touleary Project, together with all rights derived therefrom, subject to a 1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty held by ATAC Resources Ltd. (now a subsidiary of Hecla Mining Company) which encumbers 183 of the 397 mineral claims (the "Royalty").
In order to maintain the Option in good standing and earn the 20% interest, the Company must incur not less than $2,000,000 in exploration and development expenditures ("Expenditures") on or before the first anniversary of the Option Agreement. Upon timely completion of the required Expenditures, the Option is deemed exercised and Core Silver will have earned a 20% undivided interest in the Touleary Project, free and clear of all encumbrances other than the existing Royalty.
Under the terms of the Option Agreement the Companies have agreed that:
- any Expenditures incurred by the Company in excess of $2,000,000 before the first anniversary will be applied to Core Silver's proportionate obligation to future exploration as part of the post-Option joint venture between the Companies (the "Joint Venture");
- upon the exercise of the Option the Companies will establish a Joint Venture and enter into a definitive Joint Venture agreement (the "JVA") for the purpose of jointly carrying out all acts which are necessary or appropriate, directly or indirectly, to: (a) explore and evaluate and, if deemed warranted, develop the Touleary Project and equip it for and bring it into commercial production; (b) operate the Touleary Project as a mine; and/or (c) engage in such other activity as may be considered by the Companies to be reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing, on terms and conditions usual in the Canadian mining industry;
-
the Joint Venture, if any, will be established with initial interests of 80% to Arcus and 20% to Core Silver, and the JVA will provide for cost sharing proportionate to ownership, subject to dilution and other customary provisions for a transaction of such nature, and Arcus will be the initial operator of the Joint Venture and will generally remain operator so long as it holds the largest single interest in the Touleary Project.
-

Property Acquisition Details
On December 10, 2018, the Company signed an agreement with Zimtu Capital Corp. ("Zimtu"), a related party, whereby the Company can earn a 100% interest in and to the Blue Property, in British Columbia. For its participation in the transaction, the Company will pay $100,000 (paid) and issue 300,000 common shares of the Company in staged payments (100,000 shares with a fair value of $50,000 issued during the year ended September 30, 2019, and 200,000 with a fair value of $225,000 were issued during the year ended September 30, 2021). Zimtu will retain a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty. The Company has the right to buy back 1% of the NSR within 5 years of the agreement by paying $1,000,000. The original
agreement was amended June 10, 2021, to change the date of the final payment from December 10, 2021 to June 15, 2021. On January 7, 2022, the Company and Zimtu signed an agreement to remove the 2% NSR royalty from the original and amended agreements.
In August 2020, the Company acquired 8 additional claims in and around the Company's Blue and Silver Lime properties from Zimtu. The cost to acquire the claims amounted to the cost of staking paid by Zimtu ($23,025). Zimtu will retain a 2% NSR royalty, of which the Company shall have the right to buy back 1% within 5 years of the agreement by paying $1,000,000. The addition of these claims expanded and consolidated the Blue Property and the Silver Lime Property into one contiguous property that will continue to be called the Blue Property. On January 7, 2022, the Company and Zimtu signed an agreement to remove the 2% NSR royalty from the original and amended agreements.
In June 2021, the Company acquired 6 additional claims in and around the Company's Blue and Silver Lime properties from Zimtu. The cost to acquire the claims amounted to the cost of staking paid by Zimtu of $26,095 plus 20% interest for a total of $31,314.
During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company staked an additional 82,257 ha of land, increasing its land package to approximately 108,337 ha. The cost of the staking was $140,950.
On April 6, 2022, the Company acquired a 100% interest in two mineral tenures, consisting of approximately 3,311 ha, known as the Atlin Lake Claims, at a cost of $10,000 (paid) from an individual. The two tenures cover the western side of the Willison glacier which is thought to potentially be the extension of the causative intrusion at the Silver Lime Project.
During the year ended September 30, 2023, two mineral tenure licences were staked totaling approximately 2,326 ha, north of the Kim Project, following positive Channel Sampling (see news release dated April 11, 2023).

On September 4, 2025, the Company presented 2025 diamond drilling plans and the first round of surface rock sample assay results from the Laverdiere Copper Project. Recent structural mapping and sampling at the Laverdiere Copper Project have extended zones of high-grade porphyry Cu-Mo-Ag±Au mineralization at the Valley Zone and identified new porphyry-style veins and vein breccias along the Valley Fault. Rock samples collected in 2025 from outcropping porphyry vein and vein breccia exposures along the Valley Fault have returned 0.62% Cu with 316g/t Ag and 7,770ppm Mo 0.47% Cu with 187g/t Ag and 682ppm Mo and 0.74% Cu with 50g/t Ag, 320ppm Mo, and 0.71g/t Au.
On August 26, 2025, the Company provided a summary of silver and copper assay results from the Blue Property and announced the commencement of drilling across the Laverdiere and Silver Lime Projects.
On February 18, 2025, the Company presented an updated 3-D geologic model, as well as a review of recent and historic assay results from the Laverdiere Copper Project.
On January 20, 2025, the Company presented results from the 2024 rock sampling campaign at the Blue Property. 102 rock samples were collected across 11 targets at the Silver Lime Project in 2024, and sampling was successful in infilling and identifying new zones of high-grade Cu, Zn, Ag, and Mo mineralization and identified a new zone of Ag-Au epithermal mineralization north of the Sulphide City Porphyry.
On November 19, 2024, the Company presented assay results from the 2024 diamond drilling campaign at the Silver Lime Project. Eleven diamond drill holes totaling 3,602.35m were completed across a 2.7km mineralized trend at the Silver Lime Project in 2024. Drilling was successful in extending the footprint of Mo-Cu-Ag porphyry and Fe-Zn-Cu massive and semi-massive sulphide skarn mineralization in and around the Sulphide City Target.
About the Blue Property
The Company currently holds 100% ownership in the Blue Property, which covers a land area of 114,074 hectares (~1,140 km²). The project lies within the Atlin Mining District, a well-known gold mining camp located in the unceded territory of the Taku River Tlingit First Nation and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation.
- 7 -
The Blue Property hosts a major structural feature known as The Llewellyn Fault Zone ("LFZ"). This structure is approximately 140 km in length and runs from the Tally-Ho Shear Zone in the Yukon, south through the Blue Property to the Alaskan Panhandle Juneau Ice Sheet in the United States. Core Silver believes that the south Atlin Lake area and the LFZ has been neglected since the last major exploration campaigns in the 1980's. The LFZ plays an important role in mineralization of near surface metal occurrences across the Blue Property. The past 50 years have seen substantial advancements in the understanding of porphyry, skarn, and carbonate replacement type deposits both globally and in British Columbia's Golden Triangle. The Company has leveraged this information at the Blue Property to tailor an already proven exploration model and believes this could facilitate a major discovery. Core Silver is excited to become one of Atlin Mining District's premier explorers where its team believes there are substantial opportunities for new discoveries and development in the area.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this report, the Company has raised $24,530,385 to further the Company's mineral properties and for general working capital.
The Company will continue to require funds to further the exploration of its resource properties. As a result, the Company may have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to the Company in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.
The Company's financial success will be dependent on the economic viability of its resource properties and the extent to which it can discover and develop new mineral deposits. Such development may take several years to complete and the amount of resulting income, if any, is difficult to determine.
All of the Company's properties are in the exploration or development stage only. Development of one or both of the properties will only follow upon obtaining satisfactory results. Exploration and development of natural resources involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. There is no assurance that the Company's exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercial bodies of ore. The long-term profitability of the Company's operations will be in part directly related to the cost and success of its exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.
The Company's revenues, if any, are expected to be in large part derived from the extraction and sale of lead, zinc, copper, silver and gold from the properties. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control such as international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations and interest rates.
As at March 31, 2026, the Company has total assets of $19,986,327 (September 30, 2025: $21,936,304). The primary assets of the Company are cash and cash equivalents of $3,732,670 (September 30, 2025: $6,068,601), exploration and evaluation assets of $16,122,717 (September 30, 2025: $15,323,895), prepaid expenses of $22,416 (September 30, 2025: $311,922), reclamation bonds of $37,200 (September 30, 2025: $37,200), promissory notes of $38,717 (September 30, 2025: $38,717), and GST and other receivables of $32,607 (September 30, 2025: $155,969).

Industry and Economic Factors Affecting Performance
As a mineral exploration and development company, Core's performance is affected by a number of industry and economic factors and exposure to certain environmental risks and regulatory requirements. These include metal prices, competition amongst exploration firms for attractive mineral properties, the interest of investors in providing high-risk equity capital to exploration companies, and the availability of qualified staff and equipment such as drilling rigs to conduct exploration.
Competitive Conditions
The mineral exploration industry is competitive, with many companies competing for the limited number of precious and base metals acquisition and exploration opportunities that are economic under current or foreseeable metals prices, as well as for available investment funds. Competition is also high for the recruitment of qualified personnel and equipment. Significant and increasing competition exists for mineral opportunities in the Province of British Columbia. There are a number of large established mineral exploration companies in British Columbia with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than the Company.

Government Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
Environmental Regulation
The Company's mineral exploration activities are subject to various federal and provincial laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. In general, these laws are amended often and are becoming more restrictive.
Other Property Interests and Mining Claims
The Company may in the future acquire new mineral exploration properties or interests but has not entered into any agreements to acquire such properties or interests other than the Blue Property and the Silver Lime Property.
Trends
As a junior mining issuer, the Company is subject to the cycles of the mineral resource sector and the financial markets as they relate to junior companies.
The Company's financial performance is dependent upon many external factors. Both prices and markets for metals are volatile, difficult to predict and subject to changes in domestic and international, political, social and economic environments. Circumstances and events beyond its control could materially affect the financial performance of the Company.
