#1Developing the Cerro Las Minitas Project into the Next Major Silver Mine in Mexico SouthernSilver EXPLORATION CORP Corporate Presentation January, 2024 SSV: TSX-V SSVFF: OTCQX#2Forward Looking Statements and Technical Disclosure SouthernSilver EXPLORATION CORP Some of the statements contained in this presentation may be deemed "forward-looking statements." These include estimates and statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals, and expectations of a stated condition or occurrence. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, reclamation, capital costs, and the Company's financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as but not limited to; changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; changes in demand and prices for the minerals the Company expects to produce; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection with the Company's activities; and changing foreign exchange rates and other matters discussed in this presentation. Persons should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements. Further information regarding these and other factors, which may cause results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, are included in the filings by the Company with securities regulatory authorities. The Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward looking statement that may be made from time to time by the Company or on its behalf, except in accordance with applicable securities laws, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of the contents of this presentation, that has been prepared by management. The scientific and technical content of this disclosure was reviewed and approved by Robert Macdonald, MSc. P.Geo, VP. Exploration, and is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. www.southernsilverexploration.com 2 All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) definitions, as required under N143-101. Mineral resources reported demonstrate reasonable prospect of eventual economic extraction, as required under N143-101. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, marketing, and other relevant issues. The PEA is preliminary in nature, it may include mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. An inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an indicated mineral resource and must not be converted to a mineral reserve. It is reasonably expected that most of the inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. All-in Sustaining cost (AISC) is calculated as: Operating costs (mining, processing and G&A) + Incremental PTUS + Concentrate Transportation + Treatment & Refining Charges + Penalties + Sustaining Capital + Closure Costs + Silver Revenue Royalty and is reported on using a per tonne mined, AgEq plant feed, AgEq recovered for sale, and AgEq payable basis PEA work completed by: Kirkham Geosciences Ltd.

All mineral resources have been estimated in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") definitions, as required under National Instrument 43-101 ("N143-101"). Mineral resources were constrained using continuous mining units demonstrating reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction. Silver Equivalents were calculated from the interpolated block values using relative recoveries and prices between the component metals and silver to determine a final AgEq value. The same methodology was used to calculate the ZnEq value. Silver Equivalents and NSR$/t values were calculated using average long-term prices of $20/oz. silver, $1,650/oz. gold, $3.25/lb. copper, $1.0/lb. lead and $1.20/lb. zinc. All prices are stated in $USD. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves until they have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for a resource's mineability, selectivity, mining loss, or dilution. An Inferred Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration. 8) All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate and therefore numbers may not appear to add precisely. www.southernsilverexploration.com 11 TSX-V: SSV OTCQX: SSVFF#12Cerro Las Minitas Project Economics 15yr Mine Life PEA Highlights - Effective Aug 29, 2022 Robust Project Economics Base Case¹: after-tax NPV5% of US$349M (C$450M, C$1.55/share), IRR of 17.9% Excellent Silver and Zinc Price Leverage Base-case +15%²: after-tax NPV5% of US$561M (C$ 728M, C$2.49/share), IRR of 24.4% High-Revenue Project SouthernSilver EXPLORATION CORP Higher Margin Mineralization Targeted in the First Eight Years of Production Leading to Improved Economics.
