Vancouver, May 11, 2026 - Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR) (the "Company" or "Silver Hammer") is pleased to announce the Company has commenced a summer surface reconnaissance program at its Fahey Silver Project, strategically located in the centre of the Silver Belt of the Coeur d'Alene Mining District in Idaho, USA.

"The Company is excited to commence our summer surface exploration program at our Fahey Project, a strategic land holding surrounded by senior silver producers and explorers in one of the most sought-after locations in the Silver Valley," commented Peter A. Ball, President & CEO. "The project has not been explored for over 60 years, and our technical team looks forward to bringing modern exploration and understanding to such an interesting and highly prospective silver project. Our team is focused on confirming the surface location of the Upper Revett Formation across the different fault blocks of the property and to further review the mineralization at the portals of adits and known multiple vein exposures on the property. The Company is working towards filing a Plan of Operations by the end of the summer to receive a permit for an anticipated deep drillhole program."

Reminder of the Key Highlights of the Fahey Property:

• The Fahey Property consists of 360 acres, covered by 18 unpatented US lode claims, situated directly in the strategic centre of the Silver Belt portion of the Coeur d'Alene Mining District, one of the top known producing silver regions in the world.
• More than 20 veins have been identified within the Fahey Property, which is more than the number of veins in either the Bunker Hill Mine (the largest mine in the district) or the Sunshine Mine, with the greatest silver production in the Coeur d'Alene mining district.
• The Fahey Property is the last property within the Silver Belt that has remained largely unexplored despite its strategic prime location and has been one of the desired properties to be acquired and explored for many years.
• The Fahey Property has been owned by same family for over 60 years, and this will represent for the first time the Property has been available to be explored with modern exploration.
• The Fahey Property occupies a strategic position between property owned by "Sunshine Silver Mining and Refining" and "Americas Gold and Silver."
• The Fahey Property is underlain by the same favorable Upper Revett Formation quartzite.

Fahey Project Overview and Location Map:

The 18 unpatented claims of the Fahey Property are located in the heart of the Silver Belt sector of the Coeur d'Alene mining district (Fig. 1). The Coeur d'Alene district is one of the premier silver-producing mining districts in the world. The Silver Belt accounts for just over half of the silver produced in the district, and there is no meaningful production recorded and very limited exploration on the Fahey Property.
