    Americas Gold and Silver Closes US$100 Million Debt Financing With SAF Group and Provides Galena Update

    Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) (“Americas”, “AGS” or the “Company”), a growing North American precious metals producer, is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced (see AGS news release dated June 3, 2025) US$100 million senior secured debt facility ("Term Loan Facility”) provided by funds affiliated with SAF Group (“SAF”), primarily to fund growth and development capital spending at the Galena Complex. The US$100 million Term Loan Facility consists of three tranches as follows: a US$50 million term loan which was advanced to Americas upon closing, and two additional tranches of US$25 million each which are available to the Company after satisfying certain conditions precedent.

    Paul Andre Huet, Chairman and CEO, commented: “The Term Loan Facility ensures we have the balance sheet strength to implement our aggressive major growth strategy at the Galena Complex. The US$100 million debt financing is critical to our plans to increase development rates and tonnage mined, and reduce unit costs at Galena. The Term Loan Facility has been strategically structured into three tranches to match the pace of our capital plans for a sustained period of robust production growth.

    The Americas team is progressing well on our plans with the reintroduction of longhole stoping and associated underground development, continued major equipment purchases and upgrades to the No. 3 shaft.

    Americas recently mobilized a new longhole drill at Galena which is now actively drilling longhole stoping areas. The longhole stoping mining method is expected to provide several advantages compared to the existing predominant underhand cut-and-fill mining method. Advantages include improved safety and productivity, lower costs, and increased backfill capacity to reduce waste hoisting requirements. In addition, the Company has bolstered its underground mining fleet with the acquisition of 10 new pieces of equipment made up of seven loaders – ranging from 2-yard to 4-yard capacities - and three 20-tonne haul trucks. The expanded fleet will support the productivity gains and reduced unit costs expected to be achieved as increased longhole stoping is implemented.
