Silver Storm Mining Ltd. Interim Management’s Discussion & Analysis – Quarterly Highlights Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025 (In Thousands of Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) Dated: February 24, 2026
The Company's common shares are publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (" TSXV ") under the stock symbol "SVRS", on OTCQX under the stock symbol "SVRSF" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the stock symbol "SVR".
The Company is focused on advanced stage silver projects located in Durango, Mexico. On August 14, 2023, Silver Storm completed the acquisition of the La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex (“ La Parilla ”), a prolific complex which is comprised of five underground mines and a past-producing open pit that collectively produced 34.3 million silver-equivalent ounces between 2005 and 20191 .
The Company also holds a 100% interest in the San Diego Project. The San Diego property is among the largest undeveloped silver assets in Mexico and is located within the prolific Velardeña Mining District. Velardeña hosts several mines having produced silver, zinc, lead and gold for over 100 years.
La Parrilla Rehabilitation and Restart Plan
On October 21, 2025, the Company commenced rehabilitation activities at La Parrilla, awarding Dynamic Engineering Services Ltd. the processing-plant rehabilitation contract. The program includes inspection, cleaning and servicing of the crushing, grinding, flotation and tailings systems, with Dynamic overseeing the process and leading the plants transition into cold commissioning upon completion. In parallel, the sulphide flotation circuit is being expanded from 1,000 tpd to 1,250 tpd, supported by the installation of eight new 1,000 ft³ flotation cells; all eight cells were fabricated and delivered to site and installation is underway, with completion targeted in Q1 2026. The plant rehabilitation and expansion program is expected to take approximately 7–9 months from mobilization.
Underground rehabilitation and development. Underground work began with drift cleaning, ground support/scaling, ventilation upgrades, and recommissioning of services to prepare the Quebradillas, San Marcos and Rosarios mines for development and production access. To accelerate this work, the Company ordered critical underground equipment (development and production drills, LHDs/haulage and ventilation fans) to support rehabilitation and development activities ahead of a potential Q2 2026 restart.
On October 10, 2025, the Company entered into a US$7,000 secured prepaid offtake financing with subsidiaries of Samsung C&T. The facility bears SOFR (1-month) + 4.75%, features a six-month interest and principal grace period, and amortizes in equal monthly installments over 12 months thereafter, with repayment permitted as deductions from concentrate sales. Samsung holds offtake rights for 100% of lead-silver and zinc concentrates for two years. Proceeds are allocated to mill rehabilitation/upgrading, underground development and working capital associated with the restart. The Company completed the full drawdown of the facility on November 4, 2025.

Silver Storm Mining Ltd. Interim Management’s Discussion & Analysis – Quarterly Highlights Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025 (In Thousands of Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) Dated: February 24, 2026
Resource conversion and near ‑ mine growth drilling
On January 14, 2026, the Company commenced a 6,000 m underground drill program focused on step out and infill drilling to support development sequencing within the Quebradillas, San Marcos and Rosarios underground mines.
Schedule and next steps
Key restart gating items include completion of sulphide circuit installation/commissioning, critical spares integration, hiring of an operational management team and qualified underground workers, reinstallation of underground services, ventilation readiness, mine development to first stopes. Subject to successful completion of these activities and technical reviews, the Company’s current objective is a potential restart in Q2 2026.
The decision to potentially place La Parrilla into production, and any related production decisions are largely based on internal Company data and reports from previous operations and have not been supported by mineral reserve estimates prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, preliminary economic assessments, pre-feasibility or feasibility studies that demonstrate economic and technical viability. As a result, there is increased uncertainty and a higher degree of economic and technical risk associated with any such production decision than would be the case if such mineral reserves estimates or studies were completed and relied upon to support a production decision. No mineral reserves have been established for La Parrilla, and mineral resources that are not reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The absence of mineral reserve estimates prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, preliminary economic assessments, pre-feasibility or feasibility studies supporting a production decision increases the uncertainty of achieving any particular level of mineral recovery or the cost of such recovery, and heightens the risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, projects advanced without the support of such mineral reserves estimates and studies have experienced a significantly higher incidence of economic and technical failure. There can be no assurance that production at La Parrilla will commence as anticipated or at all, or that any anticipated production levels or operating costs will be achieved. A failure to commence production would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund its operations. Similarly, a failure to achieve anticipated production costs would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s cash flow and future profitability.

Interim Management’s Discussion & Analysis – Quarterly Highlights Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025 (In Thousands of Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) Dated: February 24, 2026
Acquisition of Till Capital Corp.
On July 18, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Till pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "Transaction").
On closing of the Transaction, Till shareholders (each, a "Till Shareholder") received 16.360 Silver Storm units (each, a "Silver Storm Unit") for each Till common share held. Each Silver Storm Unit consists of:
-
One Silver Storm common share (each a "Silver Storm Share");
-
One-quarter of one whole Silver Storm common share purchase warrants (each, a "Silver Storm Warrant"). Each Silver Storm Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one Silver Storm Share for an exercise price equal to $0.25 with an expiry date of January 18, 2027; and
-
One non-transferable contingent value right (each, a "CVR"), which is contingent on the sale of Till's 33.3% ownership of IG Far East LLC (the "Contingent Event"), which will be eligible to convert into an additional cash payment on the achievement of the Contingent Event. The CVR's have a term of twentyfour months after the closing of the Transaction. Given that Till no longer holds an ownership interest in IGFE, does not possess legal or economic rights to the asset, and has no ability to effect or participate in a sale transaction. The Company has determined that the likelihood of the CVR occurring is remote.
The transaction became effective as of July 18, 2025 by way of a three-cornered amalgamation under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), whereby Till25 Capital Corp. (" Till25 "), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Silver Storm, amalgamated with Till Capital Corp.
The following table summarizes the total preliminary consideration paid and the fair value of the identifiable net assets assumed as of the date of acquisition:
| Consideration paid: | |
|---|---|
| 52,077,302 common shares | 7,812 |
| 13,019,325 warrants | 688 |
| Transaction cost | 182 |
| Non-controlling interest | 1,711 |
| 10,393 | |
| Less fair value of net assets: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 6,565 |
| Other receivable | 109 |
| Sales taxes recoverable | 2 |
| Prepaid expenses | 269 |
| Accounts payable | (11) |
| Financial investments | 1,875 |
| Mining interest | 1,584 |

Financial Highlights
Three months ended December 31, 2025 compared with three months ended December 31, 2024
The Company’s net loss totaled $2,451 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.00. This compares with a net loss of $1,952 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.00 for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was principally due to:
-
Mineral property expenses decreased to $1,409 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,553 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is due to exploration expenditures on the La Parrilla Property. Refer to the heading “Mineral Properties” below for a summary of the Company’s exploration expenditures.
-
General and administration increased to $869 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $427 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024. The increase is due mainly to professional fees, salaries and labour and consulting fees on the La Parrilla Property.
-
Finance cost increased to $504 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $17 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024. The increase is due mainly to cost related to the agreement with Samsung on the offtake prepayment financing for the restart of operation and the accretion of the decommissioning liability.
-
All other expenses related to general working capital purposes.
Nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared with nine months ended December 31, 2024
The Company’s net loss totaled $11,642 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.02. This compares with a net loss of $9,887 with basic and diluted loss per share of $0.02 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was principally due to:
-
Mineral property expenses decreased to $3,191 for the nine-months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $6,467 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is due to exploration expenditures on the La Parrilla Property. Refer to the heading “Mineral Properties” below for a summary of the Company’s exploration expenditures.
-
General and administration increased to $2,416 for the nine-months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,661 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024. The increase is due mainly to professional fees, salaries and labour and consulting fees on the La Parrilla Property.
-
Stock based compensation increased in the nine months ended December 31, 2025, to $5,883 compared with $1,662 for the same period in 2024. The increase is due to the grant of 36,500,000 stock options on September 25, 2025, and 450,000 stock options on November 27, 2025,

compared to 12,800,000 stock options on April 22, 2024. The Company expenses its stock options in accordance with the vesting terms of the stock options granted.
-
Finance cost increased to $945 for the nine- months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $274 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2024.

-
All other expenses related to general working capital purposes.
The Company’s total current assets as of December 31, 2025 were $42,525 (March 31, 2025 - $3,413) against total current liabilities of $11,179 (March 31, 2025 - $6,762). The increase in total current assets of $39,112 resulted from cash proceeds of $29,782 from the private placements, cash proceeds of $4,316 from the exercise of warrants, cash proceeds of $9,594 from prepayment facility and reallocation of sales taxes receivable from non-current assets to current assets which was offset from the cash spent on exploration and evaluation expenditures and operating costs. The Company has sufficient current assets to pay its existing current liabilities of $11,179 on December 31, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents of approximately $34,904 as of December 31, 2025 is adequate to cover current expenditures for the coming year.
In June 2025, the Company completed its Brokered LIFE Financing raising gross proceeds of $12,012.
In July 2025, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement raising gross proceeds of $4,004.
In September 2025, the Company completed a bought deal private placement raising gross proceeds of $13,766.
On October 10, 2025, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with Samsung on an offtake prepayment financing facility of US$7,000 for the restart of operation at the past-producing La Parrilla.
The Company may, from time to time, when marketing and financing conditions are favourable, seek additional financing to fund exploration and property acquisition projects.
The Company has commenced evaluating strategic opportunities to add shareholder value through merger and acquisitions or by acquiring projects directly. The Company will focus primarily on silver projects and opportunities in the Americas; however, the Company may explore opportunities in other regions or with a focus on minerals other than or in addition to silver if advantageous to the Company. The activities of the Company are financed through the completion of equity transactions such as equity offerings and the exercise of stock options and warrants. There is no assurance that equity capital will be available to the Company in the future in the amounts or at the times desired or on terms that are acceptable to the Company, if at all. See “Risks and Uncertainties” below.

Silver Storm Mining Ltd. Interim Management’s Discussion & Analysis – Quarterly Highlights Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025 (In Thousands of Canadian Dollars, unless otherwise stated) Dated: February 24, 2026
Mineralization occurs as vein and replacement deposits, the locations of which are structurally controlled by pre-existing faults, fractures, and bedding planes. Veins can be either open space filling, forming massive sulphide and breccia veins, or fault-related, consisting of matrix-supported breccias or gouge containing disseminated sulphides and oxides. The La Parrilla deposits contain primary sulphides. Due to supergene oxidation, the primary sulphides in the upper parts of some deposits have been altered.
The metallurgical processing plant at La Parrilla consists of parallel 1,000 tpd flotation and 1,000 tpd cyanidation leach circuits to treat both oxide and sulfide ores, for a total capacity of 2,000 tpd, using a conventional flowsheet. Both ore types are polymetallic containing silver as their principal economic component as well as significant amounts of lead and zinc, and minor amounts of gold. Oxide ore is processed by cyanide leaching to produce doré bars while sulphide ore is processed by differential flotation to produce a silver-rich lead concentrate and a zinc concentrate.
A Mineral Resource Estimate completed by SRK Consulting (Canada) in accordance with NI 43-101 was summarized in a news release dated February 11, 2025 entitled "Silver Storm Announces 107% Increase in Indicated Mineral Resources at La Parrilla." This report is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company web site at www.silverstorm.ca.
The Mineral Resource Estimate includes 45 mineralized structures within the Rosarios, San Marcos and Quebradillas underground mines, currently on care & maintenance. All Mineral Resources are within close proximity to existing underground access and development. Separate block models were defined for each mineralized structure. The Mineral Resource estimation process at La Parrilla is aligned with generally accepted CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practices Guidelines (November 2019). The Independent qualified person (QP) has applied particular care in the incorporation of the reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (“ RPEEE ”) to Mineral Resources. The QP used a stope optimizer to identify those portions of the block model that can be reasonably expected to be extracted using selective underground mining methods.
Table 1 represents the Mineral Resource Statement for the La Parrilla Mine, effective December 31, 2024.
Additional drilling in 2023 and 2024 confirmed the continuity of vein mineralization, increasing the Indicated Resources Ag.Eq metal content by 107% and increasing Inferred Resources by 22%, respectively. The 23 newly interpreted mineralized structures, enhanced by new drilling and a thorough review of the legacy First Majestic Silver Mineral Resources database, contributed an additional 22% and 44% to the Ag.Eq metal content in Indicated and Inferred Resources, respectively.
Since 2023, the Company has collected significant specific gravity (SG) data, improving confidence in the in-situ density of mineralization in oxidized and sulphide materials, distinct from host rock density. This update has increased the estimated Ag.Eq metal content by over 10%, though these gains are largely offset by updated cut-off grades. Refreshed RPEEE criteria, with revised costs, metal prices and optimization parameters, led to slight reduction of 15% and 10% in the Ag.Eq metal content of Indicated and Inferred Resources, respectively.

Cautionary Note: Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources may be impacted by additional infill and exploration drilling that may identify additional mineralization or cause changes to the current domain shapes and geological assumptions. Mineral Resources may also be affected by subsequent assessments of mining, processing, environment, permitting, taxation, socio-economic, and other factors.
San Diego Property, Mexico:
Silver Storm owns a 100% interest in the San Diego Property. The project was advanced through various exploration programs between 2005 and 2016 which included 6 Phases of surface diamond drilling totaling 32,933 metres (“ m ”). Phase 7 of diamond drilling commenced in October of 2020 culminating in 10,558 m completed in 24 holes by the end of 2022. The total amount of drilling completed on the property to the end of 2022 is 43,491 m.
The San Diego Property consists of 4 mining concessions (91.65 hectares) in the Municipality of Cuencame, Durango State, Mexico. It is located approximately 75 km southwest of the city of Torreon, Mexico and is 12 km northeast of Peñoles Velardeña Mine. The Peñoles non-ferrous metallurgical complex (smelting and refining) is in Torreon. The property can be accessed via a 10 km dirt road from the village of San Diego, which is only 5 km east of Highway 400 and Federal Road 49.
The property lies within the Velardeña Mining District where several mines have produced silver, zinc, lead and gold over the past century from polymetallic mineralization associated with intermediate to felsic intrusive bodies. The mineral deposits of the Velardeña Mining District consist primarily of quartz-calcite veins with associated silver, lead, zinc, gold and copper mineralization typical of the polymetallic, intrusive related skarn and low-sulfidation epithermal deposits of northern Mexico.
A Mineral Resource Estimate was completed by SGS Canada and an Independent Technical Report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 was published in April 2013. This report is available on the Company website at www.silverstorm.ca as well as on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The Estimated Indicated and Inferred Resources at San Diego from this Mineral Resource Estimate are summarized in Table 2.

(6) (Mt): million tonnes; (M oz): million ounces.
Cautionary Statement: Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The resource estimate for the 21 veins and mineralized body were defined by a drill pattern and applying reasonable geological shapes to limit the lateral extent of the veins and mineralized body. Combinations of cross sectional and plan level views were used in order to develop an understanding of the structural relationship and cut off grades were applied. The indicated and inferred categories were partially based on historic structures that consistently exhibit lateral continuity and constant thickness, many of which can be traced along surface for hundreds of metres. There are no known factors such as environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio economic, marketing, political or other relevant factors which could materially affect the resources.
SGS Canada also recognized that there is Additional Target Potential of between 20 to 50 million tonnes grading 100 to 150 g/t silver equivalent. This Additional Target Potential is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Silver Predator Corp., Canada:
The Company owns 51.82% of the outstanding shares of Silver Predator Corp. (“ SPD ”), Canadian-based public junior mineral exploration company that has historically been engaged in exploring for and developing economically viable copper, silver, and gold deposits in the United States, with a focus on Nevada and Idaho, US.
Copper King
An exploration drilling program was conducted from two locations on the Copper king property between June and October 2024. Drill pad construction at sites near the southern and middle portions of the property allowed diamond core drilling to test favorable stratigraphic horizons in both upper and lower Revett Formation for both bedded (disseminated) and vein-style copper-silverlead-zinc mineralization. Secondary targets are also recognized in the overlying St Regis Formation. Similar bedded deposits have been mined in Montana at the Troy deposit, while larger bedded deposits are in the permitting phase at Montanore and Rock Creek near Noxon, Montana. Many examples of historic and modern vein mines in the Coeur d’ Alene District occur in the immediate vicinity of the property and include the nearby Lucky Friday Mine.
SPD geologists and the drill contractor completed core holes CK-1 and CK-2 to depths of 2,800 ft (853.4 m) and 1,477 ft (450.2 m) respectively. CK-1 was completed with HQ-sized core, while CK-2 began with HQ and reduced to NQ due to challenging ground conditions. As each hole was logged, SPD geologists were able to visually delineate multiple mineralized horizons in CK-1, while similar stratigraphic horizons in CK-2 displayed only anomalous mineralization. Multi-element ICP analysis shows good correlation with historically mapped and sampled horizons in Revett exposed at surface to the east of this recent drilling.
Drill results from the 2024 Copper King program did not encounter adequate copper or silver grades to support underground bulk-style mining of the bedded horizons, or vein intercepts with the required combination of size and grade. The best bedded interval was found in CK-1 at the base of the St Regis Formation with a true thickness estimated at 7.4 feet grading 20.75 ppm silver and 0.275% copper. The best vein was a thin 1.1 inch (true thickness) veinlet that carried a 3.0 sample interval at 64.1 ppm silver and 4.2% lead; that veinlet was found in the lower Revett in CK-1. Although multiple weakly mineralized horizons were found in CK-2, none were significant enough to report in SPD’s December 10, 2024 news release on the Copper King drilling. Results from mapping and drilling are currently being used to project further targets at Copper King, although SPD has not made any formal plans for additional drilling.

Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of the Company’s certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement, on a cost-effective basis, DC&P and ICFR may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports required to be provided under securities legislation.
Risks and Uncertainties
An investment in the securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves numerous and significant risks. Such investment should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume these risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors that have affected, and which in the future are reasonably expected to affect, the Company and its financial position. Please refer to the section titled “Risks and Uncertainties” in the Company’s Annual MD&A for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2025, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
