(TheNewswire)

VANCOUVER TheNewswire – October 28, 2025 – Providence Gold Mines Inc. (‘Providence’ or the ‘Company ) (TSXV: PHD,OTC:PRRVF) (OTC-PINKS: PRRVF) is very pleased to announce that the Company has staked an additional 100 aces of BLM land are contiguous and parallel to the existing La Dama de Oro Gold trend, thereby increasing the area of potential exploration targets.

The La Dama de Oro gold property was a historical high grade gold producer. The Company has all required permits for Water, Road, Environmental, Plan of Operations, Mill Site, including bulk sample. To date the Property has had no drilling or any modern-day scientific exploration and consequently has not developed or identified any potential NI 43 101 compliant resources .

Ronald A. Coombes, President & CEO states; ‘these 100 acres of newly acquired BLM ground provide excellent additional potential for discovery opportunity at the La Dama de Oro gold and silver property ‘ .

The Property:

The La Dama de Oro Property is in the Silver Mountain Mining District, within the structurally complex Eastern California Shear Zone and the intersection with the San Andreas Fault Zone. Bedrock geology includes Mesozoic quartz monzonite that intrudes the Jurassic Sidewinder Volcanics. The structural geology of the region implies a sequence of compressional and extensional events that reactivated favorably oriented zones of weakness for the circulation of hydrothermal fluids. The main zone of mineralization is hosted by the La Dama de Oro Fault, a shallow northeast-dipping oblique-slip fault. The mineralization at the property is classified as a structurally controlled, low-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver vein system. Gold and silver mineralization is associated with multi-phase quartz veining, brecciation, and pervasive hydrothermal alteration along the La Dama de Oro Fault. The largest known vein is 4.5 feet at its widest point and remains open to exploration for over 6,000 feet of strike.

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Zachary Black, SME-RM, a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101. Mr. Black is a consultant and is independent of Providence Gold Mines Inc.

The historical Ranger-Page workings and mineralized zones are geologically continuous with the Bunker Hill system

Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV,OTC:SLVDF) (OTCQX: SLVDF) (FSE: 4YW) is pleased to announce it has signed an asset purchase agreement (the ‘Agreement’) with Bunker Hill Mining Corp., whereby Bunker Hill Mining Corp. and its subsidiary (together, ‘Bunker Hill’) will acquire from Silver Dollar Resources Inc. and its subsidiary (together, ‘Silver Dollar’ or the ‘Company’), the right, title and interest in the assets related to the Ranger-Page Project located in Shoshone County, Idaho, USA (the ‘Target Assets’), which includes Silver Dollar’s 75% interest in the Government Gulch property and its related option rights under the Government Gulch Option and Joint Venture Agreement (the ‘Government Gulch Agreement’) and the Page Mine Mineral Rights Lease and Option Agreement (the ‘Page Mine Agreement’).

Sam Ash, President and CEO of Bunker Hill Mining, stated: ‘The addition of the Ranger-Page Mines represents another step in our vision to re-establish Bunker Hill as a leading producer in the Silver Valley. The Ranger-Page workings and mineralized zones are geologically continuous with the Bunker Hill system, offering immediate synergies for exploration, development, and potential future production.’

‘Amalgamating the Ranger-Page Project with Bunker Hill Mining is a strategic and logical transaction that aligns perfectly with the plan we contemplated when we acquired the Project last year,’ said Greg Lytle, President and CEO of Silver Dollar. ‘While the transaction has happened faster than expected, we are confident the timing is optimal for both companies. Ranger-Page enhances Bunker Hill’s exploration prospects and provides Silver Dollar with a strong equity position in a near-term producer, benefiting from the upside of the combined assets.’

Strategic Highlights:

• Consolidated Land Position: The acquisition unites the Ranger-Page and Bunker Hill properties into a contiguous land package, creating one of the largest and most prospective holdings by any single company in the Silver Valley.
• Exploration Upside: Historical drilling and production data from the Ranger-Page indicate high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization along the Page vein system, which remains open at depth and along strike.
• Infrastructure Synergies: The Ranger-Page Mines’ existing underground workings and surface access points could provide additional flexibility for future mine planning, ventilation, and exploration access to deeper levels of the Bunker Hill system.
• Complementary to Restart Plan: The acquisition is aligned with Bunker Hill’s ongoing restart of operations at the Bunker Hill Mine, targeted for H1 2026, and enhances the Company’s upside optionality for future resource expansion and mill feed sources.
• Community benefits: This has the potential to create more local employment opportunities within the Silver Valley and stimulate procurement from regional suppliers in ways that benefit the local communities.

Transaction Summary

Under the terms of the agreement, Bunker Hill agreed to acquire all of Silver Dollar’s interest in the Ranger-Page Project and associated claims from Silver Dollar for total consideration of CAD$3,500,000, payable by the issuance of 23,333,334 Bunker Hill Common Shares at a deemed price of CAD$0.15 per share.

About the Ranger-Page Project

Located in a world-class silver district, the Ranger-Page land package covers six historic mines and adjoins the Bunker Hill Mining property.
