Silver Bow Mining Corp. (SBMT) amended its asset purchase agreement with sellers Montana Goldfields, Inc. and Montana Tunnels Mining, Inc., alongside buyer Silver Bow Tunnels Corp. Effective October 14, 2026, the amendment sets the Outside Date at 60 days following delivery by the sellers to the buyers of MTMI’s audited financial statements for its last two fiscal years in a form satisfactory for inclusion in the proxy statement.
The sellers will use reasonable efforts to produce those statements no later than October 31, 2026. After delivery, Silver Bow Mining will prepare and file a preliminary proxy statement as promptly as reasonably practicable and within 5 Business Days. The proxy relates to a shareholder meeting seeking approval for the issuance of CVRs and the underlying common shares. Other provisions of the original agreement remain in effect.
Silver Bow Mining Corp. revised the milestone for 200,000 performance warrants granted to Chief Executive Officer C. Travis Naugle. The original warrants cover up to 1,400,000 common shares at US$3.10 per share; 1,200,000 had vested. The replaced preliminary economic assessment milestone was tied instead to the September 8, 2026 initial closing of the Jefferson County Metallurgical Complex acquisition and a September 21, 2026 term sheet with Ocean Partners UK Limited for a potential funding and credit support package of approximately US$88 million and ten-year zinc and lead concentrate offtake arrangements. The milestones were deemed achieved October 2, 2026, and the 200,000 warrants will vest and become exercisable upon required NYSE American approval.
The board also approved 2,000,000 new performance warrants for Naugle, subject to NYSE American approval and any required shareholder approval. No common shares may be issued before the shareholder-approved grant date. The warrants vest upon milestones, including a production test requiring underground mining from the Rainbow Block and processing into concentrate, at least 70% of the production plan for the three-month period and 50% in each month, accepted concentrate deliveries, and no single underground ore production stoppage over 10 consecutive days except maintenance scheduled in the production plan. The deadline is the fifth anniversary of the grant date.
Silver Bow Mining Corp. (SBMT) entered into a secured note with Ocean Partners UK Limited for a $5.0 million principal amount, purchased for $5.0 million in cash. The note matures March 31, 2027, and bears interest at the 12-month secured overnight financing rate plus 6.75% per annum, payable monthly beginning November 1, 2026. It is secured by a first-priority senior security interest in the $28.58 million secured promissory note issued by Montana Goldfields, Inc. to Silver Bow; Silver Bow assigned its rights under that note to the investor.
If the final closing of Silver Bow’s acquisition of the Jefferson County Metallurgical Complex, including the Montana Tunnels Mine, occurs before maturity, principal and accrued unpaid interest will be credited against the tranche A draw under a concentrate prepayment facility to be entered into concurrently with that closing. Otherwise, principal and accrued unpaid interest are due in a lump sum on the maturity date. Proceeds must be used solely to advance the Rainbow Block project and, when acquired, the Complex. Separately, the Compensation Committee authorized Chief Executive Officer C. Travis Naugle’s annual salary to increase to $350,000 effective May 1, 2026, a $250,000 one-time discretionary cash bonus, and an annual $100,000 payment for his Executive Chairman role effective October 3, 2026.
Silver Bow Mining Corp. granted Travis Naugle 3,648 restricted stock units under its long-term incentive plan on September 30, 2026. All RSUs vest upon the earlier of a change in control of the company, a sale of a majority of its assets, or Naugle’s departure from the Board.

He serves as the company’s senior operating executive, reports to the CEO and leads day-to-day operations while retaining regulatory and external affairs responsibilities.

Mr. Stiles’s annual base salary is $240,000. The Board will review it during the fourth quarter of 2026 and increase it by an amount the Board determines no later than December 31, 2026. He is eligible for an annual performance bonus of up to 50% of base salary, based on Board-determined criteria.
Silver Bow Mining Corp. (SBMT) reported that it has signed a non-binding term sheet with Ocean Partners UK Limited for an integrated funding, credit support and offtake package totaling approximately US$88 million tied to the Rainbow Block Project and the planned acquisition of the Jefferson County Metallurgical Complex.
The package contemplates a US$40 million concentrate prepayment facility in three tranches, approximately US$43.1 million of reclamation bond guarantees, and Ocean Partners acting as lead investor for US$5 million in a potential future equity financing. A separate binding US$5 million pre-closing bridge note, to be funded within five business days, will be credited against the first tranche. Bond guarantees are expected to release about US$42 million of existing cash reclamation collateral. The facility would carry interest at 12‑month SOFR plus 6.75% with a 1.0% arrangement fee on draws, while guarantees would carry a 3.0% annual fee payable in cash, shares or warrants. The term sheet remains largely non-binding and is subject to definitive agreements and completion of the Complex acquisition, and the company also plans to seek shareholder approval for contingent value rights (CVRs) and underlying common shares via a future proxy process.
Silver Bow Mining Corp. (SBMT) reports that a U.S. Bankruptcy Court order on September 4, 2026 approved the sale of specified Montana Tunnels Mining, Inc. assets under an Asset Purchase Agreement, triggering the Initial Closing. Silver Bow released approximately $28.58 million from escrow to pay designated creditors, including $4.27 million to Jefferson County, Montana and $20.78 million to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, with any excess going to the seller. In exchange, Silver Bow received a $28.58 million senior secured promissory note from the selling parent, secured by its assets, a guarantee from Montana Tunnels Mining, Inc. and a mortgage over certain of its real property and fixtures. The note carries no interest unless unpaid at maturity, when it accrues 10% per annum, and matures no later than November 30, 2026 if not extinguished at the final closing.
Separately, Silver Bow entered into note purchase agreements with the seller on September 4 and 10, 2026, buying senior secured notes of $3 million and $2 million, respectively. These $5 million notes bear 8% annual interest, mature six months after issuance, and may be repaid by surrendering 1,155,555 contingent value rights to be issued at the final closing, or in cash if that closing has not occurred. The notes are secured by those contingent value rights and shares of the seller’s Elkhorn Goldfields subsidiary. Silver Bow also obtained a support agreement from key shareholders of the seller to back the acquisition and plans to seek its own shareholder approval for issuing the contingent value rights and underlying common shares.

Silver Bow Mining Corp. (SBMT) announced and discussed a definitive agreement to acquire the Jefferson County Metallurgical Complex in Montana, an integrated brownfield site with a 15,000‑ton‑per‑day flotation plant and a 1,000‑ton‑per‑day gold mill, about 55 miles by road from Butte. The complex historically processed about 98 million tons of ore, producing 1.64 million oz gold, 30.8 million oz silver, 409 million lb lead and 1.1 billion lb zinc. The facilities have an estimated replacement value of roughly US$350 million.
The transaction uses a staged, highly contingent structure. At Initial Closing, Silver Bow plans to fund about US$28.6 million, including US$20.8 million to the Montana DEQ and US$4.27 million to Jefferson County, mainly to address existing obligations. At Final Closing, the company will issue 3.5 million contingent value rights (CVRs), each initially convertible into one common share, plus up to 11.5 million deferred CVRs tied to future Montana Tunnels M‑Pit milestones and production. The deal proceeds through a Chapter 11 Section 363 sale and remains subject to Bankruptcy Court, shareholder, NYSE American, governmental and permit approvals.
SBMT’s primary focus remains the Rainbow Block in the Butte Mining District, where it holds about 4,193 acres of patented mineral rights and 1,410 acres of surface lands. Rainbow Block hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of roughly 11.48 million tons grading 4.28 oz/ton silver, 0.05 oz/ton gold, 4.59% zinc and 1.25% lead, or about 49 million oz silver, 554,000 oz gold, over 1 billion lb zinc and 287 million lb lead, which the company stresses is not a reserve and lacks demonstrated economic viability. As part of the acquisition, Silver Bow commits to a US$5 million feasibility‑study work program for the M‑Pit and a separate US$3 million engineering and permitting program for the Clancy Creek Bypass Channel, while it continues drilling, underground rehabilitation and technical work at Rainbow Block.

The structure is staged: on August 24, 2026 the company will fund about $28.6 million into escrow to satisfy specified creditors, including about $4.27 million to Jefferson County and about $20.8 million to the Montana DEQ, with release contingent on Bankruptcy Court approval by September 30, 2026. At First Closing, excess escrow cash, if any, will go to Montana Goldfields, Inc. against a senior secured, non‑interest‑bearing promissory note maturing no later than November 30, 2026.
At Final Closing, consideration will include extinguishing a prior $1 million note and the new note, issuing 3.5 million CVRs convertible into common shares after 180 days and 11.5 million additional Deferred Compensation CVRs tied to M‑Pit and Clancy Creek milestones, plus granting a 2% net smelter return royalty and net profits interests on tailings and Clancy Creek projects.
