Apollo Silver is a TSX-V listed company which controls the US’s third largest advanced pure silver resource at its Calico Silver Project. Recently Apollo announced an updated mineral resource of 110 million ounces of silver in Measured and Indicated categories with an additional 51 million ounces of silver in the Inferred category at Calico. In addition to advancing Calico toward development, Apollo Silver Corp. is advancing its Cinco de Mayo Project, in Chihuahua Mexico. Investment Highlights Two Significant Projects Located in Pro-mining Jurisdictions The Calico Silver Project (“Calico Project”) occupies private land in mining friendly San Bernardino County, USA where US$60 Billion of mineral reserves have been permitted in the last 15 years Recently optioned district scale Cinco de Mayo Project (“Cinco de Mayo”) located in Chihuahua, Mexico along continental trend of globally significant silver mines and deposits Large Mineral Inventory with Expansion Potential Calico Project – 110Moz Ag of M&I resources plus 51Moz Ag inferred resources making it one of the largest primary silver deposits in the US Cinco de Mayo Project has a historical inferred resource of 154Moz high-grade AgEq at 386 g/t AgEq Corporate Highlights Highly experienced team with capital raising, marketing, and technical expertise Executive team has been involved in over $5B of M&A activity Strong support from institutional investors Robust treasury position to advance portfolio of projects Upcoming Value Driving Catalysts Resource estimate for critical elements at Calico Project Active and ongoing engagement with local community to restore social license and project access at Cinco de Mayo Cinco de Mayo mineral resource update Follow up work to confirm potential large discovery at Cinco de Mayo PROJECTS IN HAND (1) Calico Project, USA The Calico Project is well-placed relative to infrastructure and is located in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of San Bernardino County, California. The Project comprises the adjacent Waterloo and Langtry properties, which total 2,950 acres. The Project is 15 kilometres (9 miles) from the city of Barstow and has an extensive private gravel road network spanning the property. There is commercial electric power within 5 kilometres (3 miles) of the Project. Other mines of note in the region include SV Minerals Searles Lake Boron project, MP Materials Mountain Pass rare earth element mine and Equinox Gold’s Castle Mountain gold mine. Rio Tinto’s Boron mine is near the border with San Bernardino County, in Kern County. Waterloo Property The Waterloo property comprises 27 fee simple land parcels (1,352 acres) and 21 unpatented claims (19 lode mining, 2 mill site claims) (418 acres). These were acquired by Apollo through an Asset Purchase Agreement between Stronghold Silver USA Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apollo and Pan American Minerals Inc. (“Pan American”; a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pan American Silver Corp.), that closed July 13, 2021. Pan American retains a 2% Net Smelter Royalty on the property. Langtry Property The Langtry property comprises 20 patented claims (413 acres) and 38 unpatented lode mining claims (767 acres). The Project is under option between Stronghold Silver USA Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apollo, and the Bruce and Elizabeth Strachan Revocable Living Trust for the patented claims, and Athena Minerals Inc. for the unpatented claims.

(See news release dated March 6, 2023) Cinco de Mayo Project, Mexico Cinco de Mayo Project is located in the north central part of Chihuahua State, Mexico approximately 190 km northwest of the state capital of Chihuahua City. The Project is accessible by driving north from Chihuahua City on Federal Highway 45D for approximately 92 km to Highway 7D, then driving northwesterly for approximately 108 km to the town of Ricardo Flores Magón. The Project area is located immediately west of the village of Benito Juárez and for the purposes of exploration, benefits from excellent access via local dirt roads. Cinco de Mayo is made up of 29 concessions totaling over 25,000 ha located in the Municipio de Buenaventura. The Project is host to the Upper Manto Pb-Zn-Ag (Au) deposit, which consists of two parallel and overlapping manto deposits referred to as the Jose Manto and the Bridge Zone. The Project also hosts the Pozo Seco Mo-Au deposit. The two deposits host distinctly different mineralization with different commodities and are separated by four kilometres. Upper Manto The Upper Manto is considered to be a Carbonate Replacement Deposit (“CRD”) types and has many geological and mineralogical characteristics in common with the largest CRDs in Mexico. CRDs are Phanerozoic, high-temperature (>250oC) deposits consisting of major pod, lens, and pipe-shaped Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu-Au skarn and massive sulphide bodies which transgress the stratigraphy of their host carbonate rocks and are commonly associated with igneous intrusive and extrusive rocks. CRDs have contributed 40% of Mexico's historic silver production, making them second only to epithermal veins. The largest CRDs in Mexico range from 10 million tonnes to over 100 million tonnes in size and define a belt measuring 2,200 km long by 20 km to 50 km wide. The Upper Manto deposit represents a major discovery along this trend. CRDs are commonly mined at rates of 2,500 tpd to over 6,000 tpd, with mining depths in several exceeding 1,200 m below surface. Poso Seco The Pozo Seco Mo-Au deposit, for which RPA prepared a Mineral Resource estimate in 2010. At a cut-off grade of 0.022% Mo, the Indicated Mineral Resources were estimated at 29.1 million tonnes grading 0.147% Mo and 0.25 g/t Au, containing 94.0 million pounds Mo and 230,000 ounces Au. Inferred Mineral Resources were estimated at 23.4 million tonnes grading 0.103% Mo and 0.17 g/t Au, containing 53.2 million pounds Mo and 129,000 ounces Au. Pegaso Zone A potential new discovery, called the Pegaso Zone, was drilled in 2012. Consisting of 61.6 m of massive sulphide in a deeper hole (CM-12-431), it was not included in the 2012 historical resource estimate. This intercept is considered a high priority target and has potential to be a significant new discovery. The Company’s initial review of historical data suggests that the Pegaso Zone could indicate a larger and higher-grade resource at depth.
