Dolly Varden Silver Intersects 26.74 g/t Gold over 14.76 meters, including 122 g/t Gold over 2.85 meters at Homestake Silver Deposit

Vancouver, November 10, 2025 - Dolly Varden Silver Corp. (TSXV: DV) (NYSE American: DVS) (FSE: DVQ) (the "Company" or "Dolly Varden") is pleased to report results from drilling that expands the high-grade gold zone within the Homestake Silver deposit. Hole HR25-469 targeted a large open area at the Homestake Silver Deposit, intersecting 26.74 g/t Au over 14.75 meters, including 122 g/t Au over 2.85 meters within a broader mineralized zone grading 12.13 g/t Au over 33.80 meters.
Homestake Silver high-grade zone expansion:
HR25-469: 26.74 g/t Au over 14.76 meters, including 122 g/t Au over 2.85 meters within a broader mineralized zone grading 12.13 g/t Au over 33.80 meters
HR25-464: 9.22 g/t Au over 6.65 meters, including 58.80 g/t Au over 0.95 meters from a separate, newly recognized stockwork zone
* Intervals shown are core length. Estimated true widths vary depending on intersection angles and range from 65% to 75% of core lengths, further modelling of the new intersections is needed before true widths can be estimated.
"This identification of wide, high-grade gold mineralization represents a significant metallogenic breakthrough at Homestake Ridge; this style of mineralization is identical to the idled, Premier Gold Mine located 45km to the northwest. The Premier Deposit was the richest, historic gold-silver mine in the southern Golden Triangle. Mineralization remains open for expansion and will be a central focus of future drilling programs," said Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of Dolly Varden.

Drill hole HR25-469 is in an area where the closest historic drilling is greater than 50m away. Combined with the two other 2025 drill holes on section, HR25-462 and HR25-464, and previous drilling, the high-grade core of the Homestake Silver deposit is defined for over 300 meters vertically and extends for over 1,000 meters along plunge. Previously released step-out drill hole HR25-456 (October 01, 2025) that grades 3.34 g/t Au over 120 meters, including 216 g/t Au over 0.52 meters and 166 g/t Au over 1.3 meters is located 300 meters to the northwest along plunge.
Drill hole HR25-464 is step out below the known extents of Homestake Silver, intersecting mineralization 110 meters down dip of HR25-469. In addition, a new stockwork vein interval representing a potential new mineralization zone, located to the west of the main trend, was encountered grading 9.22 g/t Au over 6.65 meters.

Homestake Silver
At total of 56,131 meters were drilled in 86 drill holes in the 2025 season by Dolly Varden with approximately 40% of the meters drilled at Homestake Ridge focused on step outs and local infill along the wider, high-grade gold plunge at Homestake Silver.
The Company is using directional drilling technology to precisely target areas for step-out and infill holes at Homestake Silver. Drill holes HR25-462, HR25-464 and HR25-469 were drilled individually from the same pad, utilizing directional drilling to precisely intercept the target within the mineralized zone.
The Homestake Ridge deposits are interpreted as structurally controlled, multi-phase epithermal vein stockwork and vein breccia system hosted in Jurassic Hazelton volcanic rocks. Mineralization consists of pyrite, +/- galena and sphalerite, with visible gold in a silica breccia matrix. The northwest trending structural corridor hosts multiple subparallel structures that control high-grade gold and silver shoots within a broader mineralized enveloper.
Although historically considered a silver-rich gold deposit, recent drilling at Homestake Silver has define a shallow north plunging dilation zone that is defined by a wide mineralized interval with increased frequency of high-grade gold veins and vein breccias which shows a shift towards a gold-rich system towards the north. The deposit remains open along plunge and at depth.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
The Company adheres to CIM Best Practices Guidelines for exploration related activities conducted on its property. Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures are overseen by the Qualified Person.
Dolly Varden QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material (standards), blanks and field duplicates within the sample stream. Drill core is cut in-half with a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags and shipped to the laboratory and the other half retained on site. Third party laboratory checks on 5% of the samples are carried out as well. Chain of custody is maintained from the drill to the submittal into the laboratory preparation facility.
Analytical testing was performed by ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The entire sample is crushed to 70% minus 2mm (10 mesh), of which a 500 gram split is pulverized to minus 200 mesh. Multi-element analyses were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for 48 elements following a 4-acid digestion process. High grade silver testing was determined by Fire Assay with either an atomic absorption, or a gravimetric finish, depending on grade range. Au is also determined by fire assay on a 30g split with either atomic absorption, or gravimetric finish, depending on grade range. Metallic screen on a 1.0kg sample may be completed on high-grade gold samples.

About Dolly Varden Silver Corporation
Dolly Varden Silver Corporation is a mineral exploration company focused on advancing its 100% held Kitsault Valley Project (which combines the Dolly Varden Project and the Homestake Ridge Project) located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada, 25kms by road to tide water. Including the Kitsault Valley Project, the Company has consolidated approximately 100,000Ha of prospective tenure in the Golden Triangle with 5 past producing high-grade silver mines including Dolly Varden, Torbrit, Porter Idaho, Mountain Boy and Esperanza historic mines. The 163 sq. km. Kitsault Valley Project hosts the high-grade silver and gold resources of Dolly Varden and Homestake Ridge along with the past producing Dolly Varden and Torbrit silver mines. It is considered to be prospective for hosting further precious metal deposits, being on the same structural and stratigraphic belts that host numerous other, on-trend, high-grade deposits, such as Eskay Creek and Brucejack. The Kitsault Valley Project also contains the Big Bulk property which is prospective for porphyry and skarn style copper and gold mineralization, similar to other such deposits in the region (Red Mountain, KSM, Red Chris).
