Including 1,423,081 ounces of silver and 21,148 tonnes of zinc

Vancouver, B.C. – Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSX.V:SCZ) (OTCQX:SCZMF) (FSE:1SZ) (“Santacruz” or the “Company”) reports its Q2 2025 production results from its Bolivar mine, Porco mine, Caballo Blanco Group of mines (“Caballo Blanco”) and the San Lucas Group which includes the Reserva Mina and the San Lucas feed sourcing business (“San Lucas”), all located in Bolivia, and the Zimapan mine located in Mexico.

Q2 2025 Production Highlights:
Silver Equivalent Production: 3,547,054 silver equivalent ounces
Silver Production: 1,423,081 ounces
Zinc Production: 21,148 tonnes
Lead Production: 2,773 tonnes
Copper Production: 229 tonnes
Underground Development: 11,531 meters

Arturo Préstamo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz, commented, “Santacruz maintained robust and stable production levels during the second quarter of 2025, and, notably, San Lucas reaffirmed its strategic importance within the Company this quarter, successfully compensating for the slower production from the Bolivar mine. From Q1 2025 to Q2 2025, consolidated throughput remained stable, increasing slightly by 2%; however, consolidated silver equivalent production decreased by 4%, with silver ounces declining 11%. The reductions were primarily driven by flooding at the Bolivar mine, which was caused by an unexpected water inflow event that temporarily exceeded the system’s designed pumping capacity. As a result, access to the high-grade Pomabamba and Nane silver stopes at the Bolivar mine was suspended. The water overflow has now been resolved, and work on both stopes is gradually being restored to normal. Consolidated Zinc production was roughly unchanged, with a slight 2% decrease. Looking at the second half of the year, we remain focused on maximizing silver production and metallurgical recoveries across all our operations, an approach that is especially important in today’s favorable silver price environment.”
