About Plata
The Plata Silver Property is a historic producer of high-grade silver ore. Exploration has identified thirty-two mineralized zones hosting high-grade silver, gold, lead and zinc-bearing veins and stockworks. Silver mineralization at Plata is believed to be associated with the Mayo and Tombstone intrusive suites and is in a similar geologic setting and adjacent to Snowline Gold’s recently discovered Rogue Project. Rogue is characterized as a Reduced Intrusive Related Gold System (RIRGS) deposit. Mineralization at Plata is consistent with the periphery of a RIRGS-type deposit and is interpreted as potentially the distal portion of such a deposit.

HONEY BADGER IDENTIFIES EXTENSIVE HIGH-GRADE ANTIMONY, COPPER, AND TUNGSTEN MINERALIZATION IN ADDITION TO KNOWN SILVER AND GOLD AT PLATA, YUKON
Antimony, copper and tungsten mineralization has been newly recognized at the 100%-owned Plata project in Yukon, alongside known silver, gold, lead and zinc. At the Ajo Zone, 62 of 144 rock samples returned over 0.1% Sb, 17 over 1.0% Sb and five above the 5.0% Sb overlimit; drill results include 1.5m at 1,790 g/t Ag, 0.32% Cu, 0.27% Sb and 7.45% Zn, and 1.5m at 1.32% WO3. A drill program is planne

Two new silver-gold-lead-zinc zones, Inferno and Pimento, were identified from 2025 soil sampling and prospecting at the 100%-owned Plata Project in the Yukon, a program of 1,027 soil samples and 115 rock samples completed in late September. Inferno returned a 2.3 km x 1 km antimony anomaly with a 1100 m x 400 m gold-in-soil anomaly grading up to 74 ppb Au. Pimento, ~2.3 km northwest of the Ajo zo

Additional sheeted vein zones were identified at the 100%-owned Plata project in east-central Yukon, increasing the area prospective for reduced intrusion-related gold mineralization to about 4 x 5 km within newly staked claims, with interpreted Mayo Suite felsic intrusions mapped over 2.3 x 0.67 km. Near the past-producing Aho silver zone, an 810 x 230 m area of quartz veining and sulfide mineral

Sheeted quartz veins have been mapped at surface in three locations spanning roughly 18 km at the 100%-owned Plata project in east-central Yukon, from the property's southern end to its northwestern end. At Morgan Ridge, veins range from 1 cm to 5 cm wide with an average density of three parallel veins per metre, with the most concentrated system extending 1,200 metres along slope and 500 metres v

Exploration work at the Plata project in east-central Yukon will begin on or about June 17, 2025, testing three targets: the Northwest Target, the potential eastern extension of the high-grade Aho Zone, and a magnetic low anomaly on claims staked in 2024. Work will include geologic mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling. The Company has been awarded a Yukon Minerals Exploration Program gran

Target prioritization work at the 100%-owned Plata project in east-central Yukon, adjacent to Snowline Gold's Rogue project, has identified new targets: a potential eastern extension of the high-grade Aho zone, possible unrecognized mineralization along the Plata and newly named Rogue thrust faults, and potential reduced intrusion related gold system mineralization on 1,338 hectares staked in 2024

ExploreTech has been engaged to analyze geophysical data at the Plata Project in Yukon, using proprietary xFlare technology to define the possible shape, size and location of a buried intrusion interpreted from a magnetic low. Honey Badger interprets Plata as a "Snowline-style" reduced intrusive system adjacent to Snowline Gold's Rogue Project. Results are expected before summer field work begins

A live webinar will be held on Wednesday, March 13 at 1:30PM EST to discuss similarities between Honey Badger Silver's wholly owned Plata Project and the adjacent Rogue Project held by Snowline Gold. The company now interprets Plata as related to the same Reduced Intrusion Related Gold Deposit style of mineralization as the Valley discovery at Rogue, with silver mineralization at Plata seen as the

69 claims covering 1,430 hectares adjacent to the wholly owned Plata Project in Yukon have been acquired, covering a geophysical magnetic low interpreted as a possible buried intrusion. The claims were staked by ECEE Money Ltd., a private company controlled by former director W. Douglas Eaton, and transferred to Honey Badger at no cost, subject to a 2% net smelter royalty on future commercial gold
