Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2026) - BP Silver Corp. (TSXV: BPAG) ("BP Silver" or the "Company") announces final assay results ("Assays") from the remaining eight drill holes of its eleven-hole Phase I drill program (the "Program") at the Cosuño Silver Project ("Cosuño") in Bolivia.
Highlights
- Drilling intersected multiple zones of high-grade silver mineralization at the Pocañita Chica target: Diamond Drill Hole ("DDH") CO-0008 returned 5m @ 600.4 g/t silver, including 1m @ 1655 g/t silver; CO-0009 returned 1m @ 526 g/t silver and 6m @ 147 g/t silver.
- The Program achieved its primary objective of confirming silver mineralization within the lithocap beneath surface geochemical anomalies, materially de-risking Cosuño.
- Silver mineralization was intersected in all four targets tested across an approximately 2.7 km NE-SW corridor, confirming the presence of a robust silver and polymetallic system which remains open for expansion along strike and at depth.
Dr. Stewart D. Redwood, Director and Qualifying Person, stated,
"Our recent drill program has delivered compelling high-grade silver results, highlighted by an intersection of 5 meters at 600.40 g/t silver and 1 meter grading 1,655.00 g/t silver — equivalent to an exceptional 1.65 kilograms of silver per tonne over that interval. These results validate the potential discovery of deposit within the large 10.5 km² alteration zone that remains largely covered and only minimally tested, underscoring the significant exploration upside. The next phase of exploration will advance the project through extensive geophysical surveys to better define the size and continuity of the four drilled targets, refine Phase II drill planning, and identify additional targets concealed beneath thin surface cover, positioning the project for continued growth."
Dr. Redwood continued, "We expect Cosuño's grades to increase when we drill deeper into and below the lithocap. Lithocaps are extensive zones of clay and silica alteration that form in the top part of Bolivian polymetallic vein systems and tin porphyries, similar to those which overlie porphyry copper deposits. The nearest neighbour to Cosuño, in a similar geological setting, the Pulacayo deposit, has a large lithocap that is barren and conceals a major vein that produced 640 million ounces of silver and 200,000 tons each of lead and zinc."
Readers are cautioned that the Pulacayo deposit discussed above is an adjacent property and that BP Silver has no interest in or right to acquire any interest in the deposit, and that mineral deposits on adjacent or similar properties, and any production therefore or economics with respect thereto, are not in any way indicative of mineral deposits on BP Silver's Cosuño property or the potential production from, or cost or economics of, any future mining of any of BP Silver's mineral properties.
Drill Results
Assays released are from the remaining 8 drill holes (results from CO-0001 and CO-0002 were previously released in a news release dated February 2, 2026), which tested four initial surface targets identified within the large ~10.5km2 Cosuño hydrothermal system (Table 1 & Figure 1).
The assays demonstrate that silver and gold mineralization identified at surface continues at depth within the lithocap. The results are significant because lithocaps are usually barren in similar Bolivian systems, indicating Cosuño's potential for further discoveries at depth and in covered areas.

Table 1: Significant drill intersections from Phase I drilling, Cosuño Silver Project.
Notes to the table:
- Intersections calculated at cutoff grades of 10 g/t Ag with sub-intervals at 30, 60 and 90 g/t Ag, or 0.5 and 1.0 g/t Au. The intervals may include some internal dilution.
- Au for CO-0001 and CO-0002 is by fire assay 30 g with AAS finish (AA-25).
- Au for CO-0003 to CO-0009 is by ICP (ME-MS41) which is semi-quantitative and is preliminary until fire assay (AA25) is completed.
- Ag and multielement were analyzed by aqua regia and ICP-MS (ME-MS41). Ag >100 ppm was reassayed by aqua regia and ICP-AES (Ag-OG46). Ag > 1000 g/t was reassayed by fire assay and gravimetry (Ag-GRA46).
- AgEq = (Ag grade * Ag recovery) + ((Au grade * Au price/ Ag price) * Au recovery).
- Prices Au $3431.54/oz, Ag $40.03/oz (London Bullion Market Association average 2025).
- The project is at an early stage, and there is no metallurgical test work to date. Assumed recoveries are 93% Ag and 96% Au by comparison with the Santa Ana deposit, Colombia (NI 43-101 mineral resource report for Outcrop Silver and Gold Corporation, 8 June 2023).
- For CO-0001 and CO-0002, AgEq is restated from the previous press release using the assumed recovery factors.
- Above are core lengths as true widths are not known at this time.
- Hole CO-0005 was not drilled. CO-0010 intersected no significant mineralization and therefore was not submitted for assay.

The Program successfully tested key zones along a 2.7 km structural trend, returning significant silver intercepts at the 4 targets tested to date (Figures 1 to 3):
- Pocañita Chica – Broad mineralized envelopes with high-grade silver intervals hosted in hydrothermal breccias.
- Pocalleta – Structurally controlled vein mineralization confirming depth potential.
- Jalsuri – High-grade silver intercepts with gold 2.7 km northeast of Pocañita Chica, indicating district-scale continuity.
- Benhur – Additional silver mineralization along the same structural corridor.
Cosuño Drill Program Overview
The Program tested four priority targets defined by structurally controlled, outcropping geochemically anomalous to highly anomalous silver-rich polymetallic zones characterized by silicification, intermediate to advanced argillic alteration, sulfides and brecciation: features typical of many significant Bolivian silver deposits. The targets occur within a large ~10.5 km² hydrothermal alteration system as defined by detailed mapping, geochemical sampling and remote sensing alteration studies (Figure 1).
Figures and additional geological background from the initial program can be found in the Company's news releases of October 21, 2025, November 14, 2025, and February 2, 2026.
Detail
This marks the first drill program completed within the Cosuño project. Holes CO-0001 and CO-0002 (Figure 1 and Table 2) were previously reported in a news release dated February 2, 2026.

Mineral System Analysis
Interpretation of the results from the Pocañita Chica and Pocalleta targets highlight approximately 300 meters of vertical difference and a lateral separation of about 0.8 km between the two targets (Figure 3). Importantly, geochemical results indicate elevated copper, tin and indium values at lower elevations within the system (Table 3). This vertical metal zonation suggests strengthening base and critical-metal enrichment at depth, consistent with a vertically developed polymetallic system.
The geological cross section below shows the vertical and lateral relationship between the Pocañita Chica resurgent dome and the deeper Pocalleta vein system within the Cosuño caldera (Figure 1 & 3). Both targets are interpreted as parts of a single, large, vertically zoned magmatic-hydrothermal system. Pocañita represents a shallow resurgent dome affected by intense hydrothermal brecciation and strong silver mineralization (Figure 4A). Advanced argillic alteration (quartz-alunite ± pyrophyllite) is commonly associated with a high-sulfidation epithermal mineralization environment formed at shallow depth reflecting vigorous metal bearing fluid upflow.
Approximately 0.8 km away and structurally deeper, the Pocalleta vein system is hosted in competent volcanic rocks. Alteration is dominated by white mica, indicating higher temperatures and deeper formation levels. Mineralization includes significant silver with anomalous tin and freibergite, supporting a hotter, more proximal position relative to the intrusive source (Figure 4B). The silver-tin association, white mica alteration, and temperature-sensitive alteration suggest that Pocalleta represents a deeper, more thermally evolved part of the same system. This vertical metal and alteration zoning is similar to that found in productive Bolivian silver systems.

Polymetallic System Potential
Silver is hosted within a polymetallic mineral system and is associated with antimony, bismuth, copper, indium, lead, tin, and zinc. These metals occur both within the main mineralized zones and along their margins, forming a complex zonation pattern. While currently present at generally low grades, some, subject to ongoing positive exploration and associated metallurgical studies, may be recoverable as by-products. Metal concentrations may also increase with depth. The best polymetallic drill intersections are listed in the following table (Table 3).
