Tony Makuch, Discovery’s CEO commented: “We are extremely pleased with the favourable reaction of the investment community to the Offering, which included the full exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option. We regard the strong investor interest as a clear endorsement of our recently announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Newmont Corporation’s Porcupine Complex, located in and near Timmins, Ontario. Through the Acquisition, we will establish Discovery as a new Canadian gold producer with a large Mineral Resource base in a Tier 1 jurisdiction and with significant operational and exploration upside potential. The Acquisition will bring to the Porcupine Complex a management team that has a solid track record for value creation and is highly experienced working in the Timmins Camp. Following the closing of the Acquisition, we will have a diversified portfolio combining high-quality gold production with tremendous upside in Canada and our Cordero project in Mexico, one of the industry’s leading silver development projects based on reserves and expected production. We will also emerge with a strong balance sheet providing the necessary financial capacity to invest in our assets for future growth and success.”

BMO Capital Markets acted as sole bookrunner for the Offering, which was co-led by SCP Resource Finance LP and included a syndicate of underwriters consisting of CIBC World Markets Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Raymond James Ltd. and Ventum Financial Corp. (collectively the “Underwriters”).

Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder to receive, without payment of additional consideration and without further action, one common share of Discovery upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain release conditions (the “Release Conditions”). For additional details related to the Acquisition and the Offering, please see Discovery’s press release entitled, “Discovery Announces Transformational Acquisition of Newmont’s Porcupine Complex,” issued on January 27, 2025. Closing of the Acquisition is expected during the first half of 2025.

The Subscription Receipts were offered by way of a prospectus supplement dated January 29, 2025 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the short form base shelf prospectus dated March 23, 2023 (the “Base Shelf”). The Prospectus Supplement, which provides the full terms related to the Subscription Receipts, was filed with the securities commissions or other similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada other than Québec and Nunavut, on January 29, 2025.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts, less 50% of the Underwriters’ fee that was payable on closing of the Offering, have been deposited and will be held in escrow by TSX Trust Company, as subscription receipt agent, pending the satisfaction or waiver of the Release Conditions.

Discovery Announces Filing and Mailing of Circular for Special Meeting of Shareholders

discoverysilver.com/news/...-special-meeting-of-shareholders/

“Since releasing the Study, we have continued to de-risk the project. On that front, a significant milestone was achieved earlier this month, with the acquisition of the final parcel of land required for the development of the mine. The next key achievement for Cordero will be receiving approval of our environmental impact assessment (Manifesto de Impacto Ambiental in Spanish or “MIA”). Given an improved political environment in Mexico, we are increasingly optimistic that Cordero will complete the permitting phase and be advancing towards construction by the end the year.

During the second half of 2024, our focus was largely on evaluating the potential acquisition of Newmont Corporation’s Porcupine Complex, with an agreement being announced on January 27, 2025 (the “Acquisition”). Through the Acquisition, we are transforming Discovery into a new Canadian gold producer with multiple operations, a large base of Mineral Resources and substantial potential for growth. We know the Porcupine Complex well, with many members of our team being from Timmins and having direct experience managing these assets. We will bring to Timmins an overriding focus on value creation and a goal of re-establishing Porcupine as a Tier 1 asset in the global gold space.

“We are holding a special meeting of shareholders on March 27, 2025 to approve the issuance of shares to Newmont as part of the consideration for the Transaction and continue to work towards closing the Acquisition. Upon closing, we will move forward as a growing precious metals company with tremendous upside potential, significant leverage to both gold and silver prices, and a solid track record for achieving excellence in responsible mining. We will also have significantly improved financial strength resulting from a US$575 million financing package, arranged concurrently with the acquisition, including US$450 million of royalty, debt and equity financing from Franco-Nevada Corporation.

“The new Discovery is a company well positioned for success. It is success that will be achieved through an attractive combination of assets, a commitment to making these assets the best they can be, and a focus on investment that generates value for our shareholders and all stakeholder groups.”

The Acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to, among other things, the completion of a pre-closing reorganization by affiliates of Newmont Corporation (with the reorganization being subject to certain approvals, including the consent of Ontario's Ministry of Mines), receipt of all required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions.

Additional details of the voting results will be included in a report of voting results to be filed on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) under Discovery's issuer profile.

Chefredakteur Jochen Staiger interviewt Tony Makuch, CEO von Discovery Silver, über die jüngste Übernahme der Goldmine Porcupine durch das Unternehmen und die strategischen Pläne für das Silberprojekt Cordero. Sie erörtern die Finanzierungsstrategien, die Betriebspläne und die Bedeutung des Engagements in der Gemeinschaft und der Verantwortung für die Umwelt. In der Diskussion werden auch Zukunftsprognosen für die Silberpreise und die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Projekte angesprochen, wobei das Potenzial für die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen und Wohlstand in der Region hervorgehoben wird. Der Kauf der Porcupine-Mine war ein kluger Schachzug, und mit der weiteren Erschließung von Cordero ist das Unternehmen nun zweigleisig unterwegs, was das Risiko verringert und Mehrwert für die Aktionäre schafft: www.commodity-tv.com/play/...tion-and-ongoing-work-at-cordero

Borden: A relatively new mine at the centre of a 1,000 km2 land position where there is potential to extend the existing mining zones and where there has been very little exploration outside of the current mining area;
Pamour: An open-pit project that is currently commencing production and has the potential to become much larger through drilling to depth and in multiple directions;
Dome Mine: One of the pillars of Canada’s gold mining history, where there remains a large mineral resource and substantial exploration upside; and,
Dome Mill: A large-scale, central processing facility currently operating below capacity levels and with significant growth potential to accommodate increased production.

“Our recently released technical report (the “Report”) estimated average annual production of over 285,000 ounces of gold for the next 10 years, with total production extending to 2046. We expect to improve on the estimates in the Report by investing in the assets to grow production, extend mine life and lower costs at existing operations. We also have a strong commitment to exploration, with there being multiple attractive drill targets at each asset and significant regional exploration potential.

“Looking ahead, our aim is to re-establish Porcupine as a Tier 1 asset in the global gold industry, one that meets the highest operating standards and achieves excellence in all aspects of responsible mining.  Our efforts will be supported by a strong balance sheet, with approximately C$240 million ($170 million) having been added to our cash position through our recent financings. As a management team, we know Porcupine well, have a solid understanding of the opportunities that exist, and are looking forward to getting started.”

As consideration for the Transaction, Discovery has paid an affiliate of Newmont $200 million of cash and issued approximately 119.7 million Discovery common shares, resulting in Newmont owning an approximate 15.0% interest in the Company. In addition, the Company will pay to Newmont $150 million in deferred cash consideration to be paid in four annual payments of $37.5 million commencing on December 31, 2027.

To fund the acquisition and expected capital expenditures and working capital requirements at Porcupine, and for general corporate and working capital purposes, Discovery has completed financings for $575 million (the “Financing Package”). Details of the Financing Package are provided in the press release entitled, “Discovery Announces Transformational Acquisition of Newmont’s Porcupine Complex,” issued on January 27, 2025, which is available at www.discoverysilver.com and under the Company’s profile at SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).

Exchange of Subscription Receipts

As part of the Financing Package, on February 3, 2025, Discovery completed a "bought deal" public offering (the "Offering") of 275,000,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") for aggregate gross proceeds of C$247.5 million (approximately $175 million) pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated January 29, 2025 to the Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated March 23, 2023.

With the closing of the Transaction, the common shares of Discovery issuable pursuant to the 275,000,000 Subscription Receipts will be automatically issued through the facilitates of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipts, as applicable, on a one-for-one basis.

Consistent with established Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") guidelines, trading in the Subscription Receipts on the TSX (TSX: DSV.R) will be halted effective prior to the opening of trading on the TSX today (April 16, 2025), and the Subscription Receipts will be delisted as at the close of business today.

Discovery Capital Structure

With the completion of the Transaction, and following the execution of all financing agreements, Discovery capital structure includes 797.5 million common shares outstanding, with existing shareholders prior to the Transaction owning approximately 50.5% of the pro forma shares outstanding, excluding any new common shares acquired by existing shareholders via the Offering.

After receipt of all cash from the Financing Package, Discovery’s cash position has increased approximately C$240 million ($170 million), with a $100 million senior debt facility with Franco-Nevada remaining undrawn.

NEW LOGO

With the closing the Porcupine acquisition, the Company today launched a new logo, with the “DISCOVERY” name in blue and the letter “V” including both gold and silver. The logo highlights Discovery’s position as a growing North American precious metals company providing shareholders with significant exposure to both gold and silver prices.  

USE OF PEA ESTIMATES

All operating estimates in this press release related to the Porcupine Complex are taken from the technical report entitled, “Porcupine Complex, Ontario, Canada, Technical Report on Preliminary Economic Assessment” (the “PEA”), filed under the Company’s profile at SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) on January 28, 2025 and available on Discovery’s website at  www.discoverysilver.com. The report includes the results of a preliminary economic assessment which is preliminary in nature. It includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves and there is no certainty that the estimates will be realized.

“Since the closing, there have already been significant developments. On April 24, 2025, we had our first gold pour, and to date have sold 2,800 ounces of gold for gross proceeds of approximately $13.0 million. We just completed a two-week mill shutdown, that had been previously scheduled for the purpose of replacing equipment in the thickening tanks. We used the occasion to advance plans to enhance mill performance, with multiple additional projects completed, primarily in the crushing, grinding and carbon handling circuits. The mill is now running, we have stockpiles built up and we are resuming gold production and sales.

“With a current pro forma cash position of approximately $250 million, and an undrawn US$100 million senior debt facility, we are well capitalized to move forward with our investment strategy for Porcupine, and to fund our current expenditure plans for 2025 at Cordero. The pro forma cash position reflects the addition US$475 million of cash through recently completed royalty and equity financings, net of US$200 million cash consideration paid for Porcupine at closing, transaction and other related costs and cash collateral required for closure obligation bonding requirements.”

November 13, 2025, Toronto, Ontario - Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF) (“Discovery” or the “Company”) today announced the Company’s financial and operating results for the third quarter (“Q3 2025”) and first nine months (“YTD 2025”) of 2025. Discovery began reporting the results of gold production and sales following the Company’s acquisition (“Acquisition” or “Porcupine Acquisition”) of the Porcupine Complex (“Porcupine”) in and near Timmins, Ontario on April 15, 2025. The Company’s full financial statements and management discussion & analysis are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.discoverysilver.com. All dollar amounts are in US dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Tony Makuch, Discovery’s CEO, commented: “During Q3 2025, we generated solid operating and financial results while at the same time continuing to integrate systems, align policies and procedures, strengthen management structures and advance investment programs at Porcupine. A key highlight of the third quarter was cash flow, with net cash from operating activities of $153.5 million and free cash flow1 totaling $86.8 million. Strong cash flow resulted from a 56% increase in gold sales, to 66,200 ounces from 42,550 ounces the previous quarter, and an increase in the average realized gold price1, to $3,489 per ounce sold. Driven by strong cash flow generation, we grew our cash position by 35%, to $341.5 million at September 30, 2025. With our current cash, as well as a new revolving credit facility for $250 million, plus a $100 million accordion feature, Discovery is very well capitalized as it moves forward with investment plans aimed at growing production, improving costs and maximizing value creation at Porcupine.

“A key component of the tremendous potential at Porcupine involves exploration. Last week, we issued our first exploration update, which included excellent drill results from resource conversion and expansion drilling at Hoyle Pond, Borden and Pamour, as well as very encouraging results at Owl Creek, which confirm the presence of high-grade mineralization three kilometers to the west of Hoyle Pond. We also announced the commencement of drilling programs at Dome Mine and the TVZ Zone. Dome and TVZ have the potential to become two new mining operations that could substantially grow production and value creation in Timmins. Drilling at Dome and TVZ is being conducted as part of studies to more thoroughly evaluate the projects, with these studies targeted for completion in 2026.”
