Silver Announces September 21, 2026 Trading Date on the Toronto Stock Exchange
Vancouver,
B.C. – Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCZM) (TSX.V:SCZ) (“Santacruz”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it will be graduating to
the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) effective at market open on September
21, 2026. Following the graduation from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”)
to the TSX, the common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) will
continue to trade under the current ticker symbol “SCZ”.
Arturo
Préstamo Elizondo, Executive Chairman and CEO, commented, “Graduating to the Toronto Stock Exchange will mark a significant
milestone in Santacruz’s journey. Since first listing on the TSX Venture Exchange more than a decade ago, we have transformed the
Company into a stronger, more diversified business. This milestone also underscores the execution of our long-term strategy and our commitment
to creating sustainable shareholder value. As we continue executing our growth strategy, we believe a TSX listing will enhance our profile,
improve access to institutional capital, and help advance our goal of becoming a leading Latin American silver and zinc producer.”
Following
the uplisting to the TSX, the Common Shares will no longer trade through the facilities of the TSXV and will be voluntarily delisted
from the TSXV after market close on Friday, September 18, 2026. Shareholders are not required to exchange their direct registration system
advices, share certificates, or warrant certificates, or to take any other action in connection with the TSX uplisting.
The
Company will remain a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws through the listing transition process from the TSXV
to the TSX. The Common Shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SCZM”. The Company’s
CUSIP number and ISIN for the Common Shares will remain 80280U205 and CA80280U2056, respectively.
