Rio Silver to Complete 5:1 Consolidation

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 27, 2025 – Rio Silver Inc. (the “Company” or “Rio Silver”) (TSX.V: RYO) (OTC: RYOOF) announces that, further to the announcement on May 1, 2025, it will consolidate (the “Consolidation”) its common shares on the basis of five pre-Consolidation common shares for one post-Consolidation share.

The Company expects that the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) will issue a bulletin in short order, confirming that the Company’s common shares will then commence trading on a post-Consolidation basis effective on or about the opening of trading on Thursday, July 3, 2025.  There will be no change to the Company’s name or trading symbol.  The new CUSIP and ISIN numbers for the post-Consolidation shares are 76721A113 and CA76721A1131, respectively.

No fractional common shares will be issued, and fractions of less than one-half of a common share will be cancelled and fractions of at least one-half of a common share will be converted to a whole common share.  Outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities will likewise be adjusted for the Consolidation, with the number of underlying common shares and exercise prices being adjusted accordingly.

The Company currently has 84,832,845 common shares issued and outstanding, and immediately following the Consolidation the Company expects to have, subject to rounding adjustment, approximately 16,966,572 common shares issued and outstanding, none of which are subject to escrow.

Letters of Transmittal will be mailed shortly to registered shareholders who hold share certificates, with instructions for the exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates.  Shareholders holding uncertificated shares (such as BEO, NCI and DRS positions) will have their holdings adjusted electronically by the Company’s transfer agent and need not take any further action to exchange their pre-Consolidation shares for post-Consolidation shares.

The Company expects that the Consolidation will provide the Company with increased flexibility in structuring and completing financings and potential business transactions. Shareholder approval for the Consolidation was received at the Company’s Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 12, 2025, as previously announced on June 25, 2025.

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 25th, 2025 – Rio Silver Inc. (“Rio Silver” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: RYO) (OTC: RYOOF), announces shareholder approval for all matters at the AGM.

All resolutions presented at Rio Silver’s annual general held on Thursday, June 19, 2025, including the election of directors, the ratification of the appointment of its auditor for the year ended December 31, 2024, the reappointment of its current auditor, the reapproval of the company’s equity incentive plan and the approval for a share consolidation on a one-new-for-5-old basis. The name of the company has not been changed.

Additionally, the Company has amended its purchase agreement for the Maria Norte mining property and eliminated the royalty provisions in exchange for a one-time cash payment of US$ 22,500.00. The board of directors believes that the consolidation was necessary to better position the company for future corporate development opportunities and financing transactions.

Rio Silver chief executive officer Chris Verrico stated:

“Rio Silver is advancing its mandate for sustainability with the purchase of Maria Norte which is directly adjacent to and on trend with active mine production with demonstrated world-class silver potential. We believe that this share consolidation and advancement toward production will be aided by the company’s other royalty streams and is well supported by Peru’s unique small mines permitting regime, which can accelerate the initial development.

We remain ever impressed and optimistic by the resilience and ingenuity of our host country as Peru continues to endorse supportive mining policies and continued growth, as is currently evident by the tremendous investment being witnessed throughout Peru”.
