Kuya Silver Reports Record Concentrate Sales from the Bethania Mine in Q3 2025 and Upgrades Mine Infrastructure for Sustained Growth

Kuya Silver to Host Live Webinar Monday, October 20th Featuring Q3 Production Update from Bethania Project

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 17, 2025) - Kuya Silver Corporation (CSE: KUYA) (OTCQB: KUYAF) (FSE: 6MR1) (the "Company" or "Kuya Silver") is pleased to report record concentrate sales and the completion of major infrastructure updates at the Bethania silver project during the third quarter of 2025. The Bethania silver mine, which was successfully restarted by Kuya Silver in 2024, continues to advance ramp-up towards steady-state production.

The third quarter marked an important transition period at the Bethania silver mine for the Company. Mine production was temporarily paused for several weeks in the middle of the quarter as two air compressors, used for production drilling and auxiliary ventilation, malfunctioned and required simultaneous repair. Drilling and blasting activities were suspended during this period resulting in a 4-to-6 week delay in the previously announced ramp-up schedule. During this pause, Kuya Silver procured and installed a compressor and new and state-of-the art electrical generator with greater availability to support sustainable production. Along with commissioning the new equipment the Company completed infrastructure enhancements to camp accommodations. With the installation of the upgraded equipment, the older compressors can now be used as backup equipment, improving the overall robustness of the operation. Normal operations restarted in late September and have accelerated over the first few weeks of October. Within just over two weeks the daily mining rate is already exceeding the point where activities were suspended in late July.

David Stein, Kuya Silver's President and CEO remarked, "With silver hitting all-time highs, and the Company in it's strongest financial position since inception, now and over the coming months, it is the right time to make these investments to shore up reliable silver production at Bethania, lay the groundwork for potential expansions in the future, and invest in expanding our resource base at the mine itself and the greater Bethania district."

During the third quarter a record number of tonnes were processed from the Bethania mine, 1,841 tonnes, and record amount of silver sold, 16,983 oz (or 21,435 oz silver equivalent [see note 2 below]), as processing caught up from the previous quarter. 79% of the estimated revenue from Bethania in the third quarter was from silver, with the remainder from by-products, lead, zinc and gold. Metallurgical recovery continued to improve, with silver reaching 91.6% and lead and zinc recoveries also showing positive trends.
