Bayhorse Silver Update

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 21, 2024) - Bayhorse Silver Inc, (TSXV: BHS) (OTCQB: BHSIF) (FSE: 7KXN) (the "Company" or "Bayhorse") is pleased to update shareholders on recent developments at the Bayhorse Silver Mine, and the surrounding area along the "Olds Ferry/Izee Terrane mineralization.

The Bayhorse drilling programt is the first drilling conducted outside the reported Current 6.3 Million Ounce NI-43-101 Inferred Silver Resource area, targeting a calculated intercept of the large low-resistivity anomaly that the Company believes to be a potential porphyry copper, which begins approximately 498 ft (151 m) below the Bayhorse Silver Mine main haulage way workings and ends approximately 1,020 ft (309 m) for a minimum 522 ft (158 m) vertical extent.

The Bayhorse Silver Mine, that also has copper/gold/antimony and zinc mineralization lies in close proximity (6 km) to the historic Gleason Gold Mine, where free milling gold was mined up until the mid 1920's and where Bayhorse sampled 139.96 g/t (4.5 o/t) gold in 2022, and the historic Connor Creek gold mine lies 9 km to the north. Connor Creek is 7 km west of the Hercules Metals ("Hercules") historic Mineral Project silver property that lies 11 km north of the Bayhorse Mine. (Fig. 1)

The Bayhorse exploration model holds that the silver/copper rich mineralized rhyolite at the Bayhorse Silver Mine could have its source in underlying shallow granites that may be conductive porphyry copper bodies as reflected by the low-resistivity anomalies. The highest silver/copper grade identified at the Bayhorse Silver Mine is 15% Silver, 17% Copper (BHS2014-01) while gold values up to 10 g/t have been reported from historical mining (Silver King Mines 1984).

Bayhorse geologists (Conway, 2024) believe that a regional magmatic episode took place on the order of 180 million years ago which mineralized structures from Hercules Mt. Cuddy project to the northeast and on down to the Company's Pegasus project in Idaho and beneath the Bayhorse mine itself. VTEM surveys, mapping and drilling are providing evidence of this episode.

Hercules recently disclosed significant copper intercepts at its Mt Cuddy porphyry copper project, 44 km north of the Bayhorse Silver Mine/Pegasus Project. The Company was very interested in the recent Hercules townhall largely featuring Barrick Gold Exploration ("Barrick"). Barrick stated that while it was a partner of Hercules's, it was also a competitor. Barrick has staked a large position from Hercules Mt. Cuddy Project all the way up the Snake River, through Mineral and butting up to Bayhorse's Pegasus project in Idaho.

Bayhorse Silver CEO, Graeme O'Neill, notes that permitting is in its final stages at the Bayhorse Mine, that has some minor gold credits along with the reported 6.2 million ounce at 21.6 ounce per ton inferred silver resource, (Apex, 2018). The rapid appreciation of the gold price, from US$2,000's at the beginning of 2024, to the currently now over US$2,700 per ounce, and the US$ silver price closing recently at US$33.62 per ounce is positive for the Company's future mining prospects.

On October 2, 2024, the Company announced, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, a 16 million Unit non-brokered private placement at C$0.04 cents per Unit for gross proceeds of C$640,000.
