Honey Badger Expands Plata Claim Size by 18% Through Staking; Two New Gold Targets Identified
Honey Badger Silver (OTCQB: HBEIF) staked an additional 1,546 ha at its 100%‑owned Plata project on October 16, 2025, increasing the claim package by 18%.
The company is awaiting assay results from its 2025 field program expected imminently and says results should generate drill targets before year‑end. Historical work shows high‑grade gold grab samples up to 78.3 g/t Au along the Plata Thrust and a second gold‑in‑soil zone traced for over 3 km, both remaining open.
New claims were staked to buttress two targets with significant gold anomalies; the property borders Snowline Gold's Rogue property, which the release cites as having a 7.94M oz Au (M&I) at 1.21 g/t and 0.89M oz Au (Inferred) at 0.62 g/t resource (not independently verified).
Honey Badger Silver (OTCQB: HBEIF) ha aggiunto ulteriori 1 546 ha al suo progetto Plata, di proprietà al 100%, il 16 ottobre 2025, aumentando il pacchetto delle concessioni del 18%.
L’azienda attende i risultati delle analisi del programma sul campo 2025 previsti a breve e afferma che i risultati dovrebbero generare bersagli di trivellazione prima della fine dell’anno.
Il lavoro storico mostra campioni di oro ad alto grado prelevati con metodo grab fino a 78,3 g/t Au lungo la Plata Thrust e una seconda zona di oro nel suolo tracciata per oltre 3 km, entrambe ancora aperte.
Nuove concessioni sono state iscritte per supportare due bersagli con anomalie significative di oro; la proprietà confina con quella di Snowline Gold, Rogue, che il comunicato cita come avente 7,94M oz Au (M&I) a 1,21 g/t e 0,89M oz Au (Inferred) a 0,62 g/t di risorsa (non verificata indipendentemente).

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 16, 2025) - Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF) ("Honey Badger" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has staked yet another 1,546 ha of ground at its
We are still awaiting assays from summer exploration work. Nevertheless, based on observations from that recent field program plus a thorough review of historical work on the original Plata claims, adding claims was deemed to be a high priority for the Company.
The new claims were staked to strategically buttress two geologically promising target areas that have important gold anomalies. High-grade gold in grab samples over 900m along the Plata Thrust were identified in work programs carried out by predecessor companies. This potentially high-grade gold trend remains open in both directions. The data review also identified a large, underexplored gold in soil anomaly which remains open in three directions. The Plata Thrust has historically been the focus of exploration for high-grade silver. The recognition of high-grade gold mineralization along the Plata Thrust makes it a significant gold target as well (figure 1). With this new understanding, the underexplored and parallel Rogue Thrust represents a potential analog to the Plata Thrust and will also be a focus for future exploration.

The Company's Executive Chairman, Chad Williams, commented, "Honey Badger continues to identify new and exciting target areas at Plata. This project has exceptional potential. We are particularly encouraged by the continuity of high-grade historical grab samples along the Plata Thrust which returned up to 78.3 g/t Au in outcrop as well as the potential for the Rogue Thrust to be an analog to the Plata Thrust. Additionally, a second zone of gold in soil has been identified and been traced for over 3 km and remains open in three directions. Of note, the Plata property is located adjacent to Snowline Gold's (TSXV: SGD) Rogue property, which contains 7.94M oz Au (M&I) at a grade of 1.21 g/t Au and 0.89M oz Au (Inferred) at a grade of 0.62 g/t Au (see SGD news release dated May 15, 2025)."
Note: The QP has not independently verified the Rogue Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) quoted above. The Rogue MRE is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the property that is the subject of the disclosure.

Next Steps:
Assays for numerous rock samples and soil samples collected earlier in the 2025 field season are expected imminently. Results of these assays will significantly aid in our new interpretation of Plata as comprising multiple gold-silver rich systems and are expected to generate drill targets before year-end.
About Plata
Plata is located in east-central Yukon within the Tombstone Gold Belt and is a past producing high-grade silver property that produced about 290,000 ounces of silver (Ag) from small-scale mining of high-grade veins that are exposed at surface (Carlson, G.G., 2010, "Technical Report Describing Exploration and Development at the Plata Project, located in the Mayo Mining District, East-Central Yukon", report prepared for Platoro West Holdings Inc.). Ore was mined and flown by fixed wing aircraft to Idaho for processing. Historical exploration at Plata has primarily focused on the outcropping high-grade silver veins. These are analogous to the rich Keno Hill Silver Mine in the Yukon, one of the highest-grade silver deposits in the world, now operated by Hecla Mining. While the analogy to Keno Hill remains valid, the Company has continued to develop its understanding of Plata as part of a larger "Snowline-style" mineralized system. Understanding how Plata might fit into a Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System (RIRGS) like Snowline Gold's Rogue and Valley deposits adds the potential for a large gold deposit in addition to the high-grade silver vein potential.
