Highlights

  • A fully funded, high-impact diamond drilling program commenced in late November at Advance’s high grade Yoquivo Silver-Gold project in Chihuahua, Mexico
  • Five diamond holes across three separate target areas have been completed to date, with assays results for all holes currently pending
  • The new drilling includes down-dip extensional targets at Pertenencia below the existing Foreign Estimate1, which currently comprises 17.23Moz AgEq at a grade of 570g/t AgEq2,3
  • Drilling will continue at Yoquivo into 2026, testing multiple additional targets including newly discovered veining that previously returned surface rock chip samples up to 1,594g/t AgEq4
  • An extensive program testing the potential of previously unassayed historic drill core is nearing completion, with more than 4,000 metres of sampling undertaken
  • A high-resolution airborne LiDAR survey has also recently been completed at the project, with processed data expected to be available shortly
  • The new drilling and historic core sampling program will feed into an updated geological model and new JORC resource for the project

1 The Foreign Estimates of mineralisation mentioned in this announcement are not compliant with the Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (2012 JORC Code) and is a “Foreign Estimate”. A Competent Person (under ASX Listing Rules) has not yet done sufficient work to classify the Foreign Estimate as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code. It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work the Foreign Estimate will be able to be reported as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC Code 2012.
2 The Yoquivo silver equivalent was derived based on initial flotation and leaching test work conducted by Golden Minerals in 2022. The formula used is AgEq g/t = Ag g/t + (Au g/t * Au price/Ag price), where the assumed $US/oz gold price is $1,860 and the assumed $US/oz silver price is $24. Au and Ag recovery are both assumed at 85% based on this test work. In AVM’s opinion all elements that are included in the metal equivalency calculation have reasonable potential to be recovered and sold (ASX AVM 28 October 2025).

4 ASX Announcement – 24 September 2025 “New High Grade Silver Gold Zone Discovered at Yoquivo”

Advance Metals Limited (ASX:AVM)(“Advance” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities underway at its high-grade, 100%-owned Yoquivo Silver-Gold Project in southwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. The Company recently announced the recommencement of exploration at the project5, with the program designed to target extensions to the existing Resources at Pertenencia along with numerous new targets further to the west (Figure 2 & 3).

Figure 2. Plan of the Yoquivo Silver-Gold Project showing recent and planned drilling locations.

Two deep holes (YQ-25-009 & 010) have now been completed at Pertenencia, targeting down dip extensions to the existing Foreign Estimate1 (Figures 2 & 3). The new holes follow successful drilling earlier in the year showing the high grade system remains open at depth at Pertenencia (see Figure 3), including YQ-25-001 (4.42m at 446g/t AgEq6), YQ-25-002 (3.07m at 203g/t AgEq6) and YQ-25-007 (4.87m at 544g/t AgEq6).

Hole YQ-25-010, in particular, has the potential to be highly significant to future resource expansion potential, targeting the Pertenencia mineralisation approximately 150 metres below previous intersections (Figure 3). Additional drilling is also planned along strike to the north and south at Pertenencia early in the new year (see Figure 2).

Further to the west, an additional two holes (YQ-25-011 & YQ-25-012) have been completed at the San Francisco Prospect area and one hole (YQ-25-013) at La Esparanza (Figure 2). Drilling early in 2026 will also test several additional regional targets (see Figure 2), including multiple holes into the newly identified high grade vein structures southeast of the Dolar Vein system, which returned peak grades of up to 1,594g/t AgEq2 in surface rock chip sampling4.

Selected intersections are also highlighted on the long section, as is the current Foreign Estimate outline1,3. Drill holes YQ-25-009 and YQ-25-010 were recently completed at Pertenencia and have assays pending.

The Company is also nearing completion of an extensive program of relogging and assaying of previously untested core from Pertenencia, with sampling representing more than 4,000 metres of diamond core now sent for analysis. The first batch of assays from this program were recently reported7, confirming the silver and gold upside from this material with grades of up to 848g/t AgEq2.

Across the new diamond drilling and the ongoing resampling efforts, the Company now has approximately 4,500 samples at the laboratory pending assay results for Yoquivo. Significantly increased exploration activities in North America resulting from record silver and gold prices have slowed assay turnaround times somewhat, with the Company expecting to the majority of the pending assay results from mid-January 2026.

Results from this resampling work, combined with Advanced Metals’ previous and new drilling, will feed into an upgraded JORC Resource Estimate for Yoquivo, targeted for early 2026 as part of the Company’s fully funded Mexican silver-gold growth strategy.
