Silver One Provides Corporate Update on Its Nevada and Arizona Projects, Southwest USA


Cherokee

Details on the projects are below. For more detail visit www.silverone.com.

Candelaria, Nevada

Candelaria is a past producing silver mine in western Nevada (Figure 1). It was last operated by Kinross Gold Corp., who closed the mine in 1997 when silver prices plummeted to under US$5 per ounce. Silver Standard acquired the property in the early 2000’s and completed an in-ground resource, now historic. Silver prices remained historically low in 2002 when Silver Standard began focusing on other projects. Silver One acquired the project from Silver Standard (now SSR Mining), gaining a 100% interest in 2023. Since discovery in 1864, Candelaria has produced an estimated 68 million ounces of silver. The project hosts two large, silver bearing historic heap leach pads and two historic open pits developed along a strong easterly trending regional mineralized structure.

Silver One has drilled the two heap leach pads as well as conducted three drilling campaigns of the in-ground mineralization around the open pits, and metallurgical testing on both leach-pad and in-ground mineralization. The heaps contain a current resource containing 30.017 million ounces of silver (Indicated) plus 15.397 million ounces of silver (Inferred). The historical resource on the in-ground mineralization, marginal to the open pits, consists of 44.06 million ounces of silver Measured and Indicated, plus 34.676 million ounces of silver Inferred. Details of the resources can be seen by visiting www.silverone.com. Silver One has completed enough in-ground drilling to upgrade the historic mineral resource to a current mineral resource in 2025.

Extensive metallurgical testing conducted by the company has yielded excellent results, showing significant increase in silver recoveries that exceed historic silver recoveries. The most recent metallurgical testing was conducted by Extrakt Processing Solutions (“EPS” or “Extrakt”), who has a strategic global alliance with Bechtel Energy Technologies & Solutions, Inc. (“Bechtel”) to commercialize Extrakt’s TNSTM technology. Extrakt has developed proprietary, non-toxic, cyanide-free leaching solutions that have yielded excellent results on Candelaria samples. Results to date indicate that these solutions significantly increase silver recoveries, potentially doubling the recoveries achieved with traditional cyanide leaching on heap leach pad material and increasing them on the fresh material (see news release Feb 26, 2025).

In 2025, Silver One is nearing completion of a current mineral resource on the in-ground, near surface mineralization. The Company is also working on a preliminary economic study (PEA), which will encompass the current heap leach pad resource and the upcoming in-ground resource, comparing a cyanide leaching scenario to one using Extrakt’s proprietary solutions. The Company will also contemplate additional drilling to look at extending mineralization beyond the area of the updated resource. These are important steps as the Company moves the project closer to the development stage.

Phoenix Silver, Arizona

Phoenix Silver is a unique property (See Figures 2 and 3). It lies at the northeastern end of a 50+ km long mineralized belt that is host to multiple porphyry copper and silver mines and deposits. Silver One completed the acquisition of a 100% interest in the project in 2024, initially acquired due to the discovery of very high-grade silver vein fragments. One of the fragments weighed 417 pounds (189 kg) and was estimated to contain over 70% silver. Over 200 silver fragments have been discovered on small (just over 1%) portions of the 15,000 acres property.

An airborne ZTEM (electromagnetic) survey conducted across the entire property in October 2024 identified several new silver targets (see news release of Feb 20, 2025). In addition, Company geologists identified another target consisting of a train of 40+ silver nuggets to the north of the 417 vein system. This area has not been explored in detail (Nuggets North target).

The ZTEM survey also outlined two priority porphyry targets that warrant follow up exploration. These occur at a lower elevation in the southern part of the property, where multiple select rock samples returned strongly elevated copper and silver values (see news release of Feb 20, 2025). This area is along strike and 5 km from Freeport McMoRan’s Miami-Inspiration copper mining complex and BHP’s new Ocelot copper porphyry prospect. All occur within a 50+ long mineralized belt hosting multiple copper and silver properties including BHP-Rio Tinto’s Resolution project, Capstone’s Pinto Valley Mine and KGHM’s Carlota project, among others.

An east-west structure thought to be the host of these larger silver vein fragments was drilled in late 2024 (see news release Feb 24, 2025). Anomalous silver with copper, lead and zinc values were encountered in many of the holes drilled. Extremely high-grade massive silver was not intercepted, which suggests that the targeted massive silver may occur in discontinuous ore shoots in-between drill intercepts, and/or at deeper depths.

Silver One is proposing to complete a gravity survey in the 417 area to potentially better define silver targets, and additionally complete detailed mapping and sampling in the area of the train of silver nuggets north of the 417 area (Nuggets North). The Company also intends to complete an IP survey in the southern part of the property to confirm the ZTEM porphyry copper-silver targets for potential future drill testing.

Silver targets labeled PS1 to PS5 shown with black continuous line, are represented by the Predictive Targeting Probabilities color bar in the legend. The Nuggets North target, outside the areas of ZTEM anomalies is particularly important owing to the abundance of silver nuggets in the area. The copper values shown are from select rock samples. Porphyry targets Defiance and Quartz Ridge “QR” are shown for reference (see details in Company’s news release of February 20, 2025).

Cherokee, Nevada

At Cherokee (Figure 4), the company has conducted several campaigns of mapping and sampling as well as geophysics and limited shallow drilling on patented claims owned by the company. Targets include 1) An epithermal veins system with over 12 km of combined strike length and multiple high-grade silver, gold and copper values from selected rock chip samples on surface (see news release of September 3, 2019), and 2) a porphyry copper-molybdenum system with associated satellite skarn and limestone replacement mineralization.

The epithermal veins were partially drilled in the Cherokee mine area with nine shallow diamond drill holes. Four of the nine drill holes intersected silver values between 80 g/t and 455 g/t over 5.45 m and 1.55 m respectively, within a wide quartz structure that averages 12 meters. Copper in these intercepts were 0.4% and 1.84%, respectively (see news release of November 16, 2021). Several other epithermal targets on the property outside the patented claims remain untested and permitting of some of these areas is planned for future drilling.

The southeast area of the property is highly prospective for potential porphyry-style copper and or molybdenum mineralization, with targets identified by geophysics and surface geochemistry. Of particular importance is a circular magnetic feature in the southeastern part of the property. Here, Paleozoic limestones host multiple northwest trending structures and alteration zones peripheral to the magnetic anomaly, including extensive areas of limestone replacement with elevated silver and base metals (copper-lead-zinc), and jasperoids (often associated with precious metal deposits in Nevada and elsewhere).

Silver One is also planning an IP survey in the southern portion of the property to help determine porphyry potential.

Silver One’s Mexican assets were sold to Lodestar Metals Corp., (formerly Silverton Metals Corp.) in 2020. The settlement was to include a C$ 1.25 million cash payment upon signing (paid), the issuance to 4.375 million shares of Lodestar (settled), plus an additional C$ 1.25 million. Silver One has settled the issue of the final payment for consideration of C$ 50,000 plus the issuance of an additional 3.0 million shares of Lodestar. This will allow both companies to move forward, a significant factor in Silver One’s position as a major shareholder of Lodestar.

About Silver One

Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of quality silver projects. The Company owns a 100%-interest in its flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Mine located in Nevada. Potential reprocessing of silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria provides an opportunity for possible near-term production. Additional opportunities lie in unmined historic resources as well as in previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip, which can potentially increase the substantive silver mineralization along-strike from the two past-producing open pits.

The Company owns 636 lode claims and five patented claims on its Cherokee project located in Lincoln County, Nevada, host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein systems, traced to date for over 11 km along-strike.

Silver One also has 100% interest in the Silver Phoenix Project. The Silver Phoenix Project is a very high-grade native silver prospect, recently permitted for drilling, which lies within the “Arizona Silver Belt,” immediately adjacent to the prolific copper producing area of Globe, Arizona.

2025 worst year for home sales in Southern Nevada since 2007, report says

2025 worst year for home sales in Southern Nevada since 2007, report says


Home prices in Southern Nevada dropped from record highs to end 2025 and less homes sold last year compared with 2024.

Approximately 28,498 existing homes sold in the region last year, which is down almost 9 percent from the 31,305 homes that sold in 2024, according to trade association Las Vegas Realtors, which pulls its data from the Multiple Listing Service. This is the lowest number of homes sold in a year in Southern Nevada since 2007 right before the Great Recession.

The median sale price for a house sold in Southern Nevada in December was approximately $470,000, a 3.9 percent drop from November, according to LVR. By the end of December, LVR reported 6,396 single-family homes listed for sale without any sort of offer. That’s up 28.8 percent from one year earlier.

Despite a down year in sales, the local market did end on a high note.

George Kypreos, president of Las Vegas Realtors, said he is optimistic the housing market could turn around this year. The LVR report noted that home sales in Southern Nevada have seen “peaks and valleys” in recent years, generally declining since 2021 when a record 50,010 properties sold.

“Although it was a relatively slow year for home sales, we’re seeing some encouraging signs heading into the new year,” said Kypreos in a statement. “Buyer activity locally and nationally is starting to improve. Home prices have been fairly stable, and mortgage interest rates ended the year lower than they were the previous year. Most trends are pointing to a more balanced housing market in 2026.”

Freddie Mac currently has the average price for a 30-year fixed-term mortgage rate at 6.1 percent. That mortgage rate has not gone below 6 percent since 2022.

The all-time high median home sale price in Southern Nevada was broken multiple times last year, and currently sits at $488,995 which was last set in November while the condo and townhome market has dropped substantially from an all-time high that was set in October of 2024 ($315,000) to $275,000 to end 2025.

Major residential real estate brokerages are mixed as to where the market will head this year as Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com have all put out their 2026 projections, and they expect a similar market to 2025. Mortgage rates aren’t expected to drop enough next year to unlock the country’s housing market, new builds will continue to lag, and prices will remain relatively elevated.

Realtor.com said in its report that it predicts a “steadier” housing market next year and a slight shift to a more balanced market. Redfin’s report says 2026 will be the year of the “great housing reset,” which means the start of a yearslong period of “gradual increases in home sales and normalization of prices as affordability gradually improves.”

Finally, Zillow said the housing market should “warm up” in 2026 with “buyers seeing a bit more breathing room and sellers benefiting from price stability and more consistent demand.”

A snowmobiler dies after an avalanche in California’s Sierra Nevada


TRUCKEE, Calif. — An avalanche in California’s Sierra Nevada on Monday buried a snowmobiler in snow and killed him, authorities said.

Rescuers responded after a 911 call around 2:20 p.m. reported a possible avalanche near Johnson Peak and Castle Peak in Truckee.

The snowmobiler was initially reported missing but then was found under the snow several minutes later, the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Fellow recreationists found him but he didn’t survive despite lifesaving efforts, according to the statement.

Emergency personnel were working to safely extract the victim late Monday and to confirm no others were buried.

The sheriff’s office said more avalanches could occur and recommended that people avoid the area.

Each winter, 25 to 30 people die in avalanches in the U.S., according to the National Avalanche Center. The center’s current map shows high risk spots in Utah and Washington and areas of considerable risk in California, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming.
