Summa Silver Earns 100% Interest in the High-Grade Silver and Gold Hughes Property at Tonopah, Nevada; Appoints Vice President, Exploration

Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that Chris York has been appointed Vice President, Exploration. Mr. York is an Economic Geologist with over 12 years experience focused on resource development, brownfields exploration, and production in sediment hosted and epithermal vein systems. He was the recipient of the 2017 Nevada Mining Association’s Safety Award and has a proven track record of geologic management resulting in efficient precious metals production across multiple projects. Mr. York has been with the Company since early 2021 as Exploration Manager after joining from a major mining company where he was responsible for extensive field activities supporting both exploration and production with drill programs typically exceeding 40,000 m per year.

Galen McNamara, CEO, stated: “Firstly, I’m very glad about the promotion of Chris York to Vice President, Exploration. Since joining the Company as Exploration Manager in the early part of the year, Chris has been instrumental in creating the internal processes that have led not only to the Company’s very strong drill results, but also a pipeline of targets that the entire team is excited to test. Secondly, the accelerated completion of the option on the Hughes Property is very much in line with our aggressive approach to value creation. Given the heightened interest in tier-one mining jurisdictions like Nevada, and the United States in general, we strongly believe that owning 100% of this property will help clear the path towards further technical and transactional developments.”

Drill Program Updates

Drilling remains ongoing on the Hughes property with results now pending for 7 additional holes, and drilling taking place at the Ruby Discovery. Most holes have intersected zones of quartz-adularia veins, stockworks, and breccias typically featuring visible Ag-sulfosalts.

At Mogollon in New Mexico, company geologists are currently on-site, a diamond drill has been secured, drill pad construction is on-going, and rig mobilization is scheduled immediately with 15,000 m of drilling planned before the end of Q2 2022.

Additionally, the Company has entered into an amendment (the “Amending Agreement”) to the option and joint venture agreement pursuant to which it has a right to earn up to a 100% interest in the historic Mogollon silver-gold mining district from Allegiant Gold Ltd. (“Allegiant”). Pursuant to the Amending Agreement, the parties extended from 60 days to 120 days the time period by which the Company must exercise the second option following exercise of the first option (the “Time Extension”). The Amending Agreement also acknowledges that, since execution of the original option and joint venture agreement, Allegiant has delivered to the Company certain additional data and transition services (the “Additional Data and Services”). In consideration for the Time Extension and the Additional Data and Services, the Company has agreed in the Amending Agreement to issue to Allegiant an additional 150,000 common shares in the capital of the Company. The Amending Agreement is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

About Summa Silver Corp

Summa Silver Corp is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company. The Company has options to earn 100% interests in the Hughes property located in central Nevada and the Mogollon property located in southwestern New Mexico. The Hughes property is host to the high-grade past-producing Belmont Mine, one of the most prolific silver producers in the United States between 1903 and 1929. The mine has remained inactive since commercial production ceased in 1929 due to heavily depressed metal prices and little to no modern exploration work has ever been completed.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
