"Achieving our first ranking in the TSX Venture 50 is an exciting milestone and a reflection of the years of work our team has dedicated to building Silver X into a growing, premier silver company," said José Garcia, President and CEO of Silver X. "The strong share performance over the past year highlights the progress we've made and, importantly, the opportunity we continue to see ahead. With production increasing at Tangana, Plata advancing toward production, and ongoing resource expansion, we believe Silver X is entering a compelling new phase of growth. Our purpose remains clear - to become a leading silver company by unlocking asset value, driving profitable growth, and delivering responsible, lasting stakeholder value - and we are committed to executing that vision for the long term."

Andrew Creech, President, TSX Venture Exchange commented: "The 2026 TSX Venture 50 reflects a clear inflection point for early-stage finance, with a return of liquidity and capital that reinforces Canada's position as a world-leading centre for resource discovery, strategic innovation, and scale. This year's ranking underscores the vital role TSXV plays in channeling capital to the mining sector and serving as the primary growth pipeline for the next generation of global mineral supply."
