Investment Overview
Overview
Silver Bow Mining Corp. (NYSE American: SBMT) operates in one of the most prolific historical mining districts in the western United States: Butte, Montana. The company is supported by institutional investors, including two beneficial owners of more than 5% disclosed on Schedules 13D and 13G (see Ownership), and completed its initial public offering on the NYSE American, which closed on May 1, 2026. It was added to the Russell 3000 and Russell MicroCap Indexes effective June 26, 2026.
Uniquely, the company’s mineral rights are held as privately owned, patented claims. The company has spent the last several years acquiring this mineral rights position. Our properties have excellent existing infrastructure from decades of previous mining operations.
The company is committed to transparent, responsible rehabilitation and development of these historic mining assets.

Silver Bow is an exploration-stage company. The Rainbow Block hosts an inferred mineral resource only: it has no mineral reserves, and economic viability has not been demonstrated. Inferred mineral resources carry a lower level of geological confidence and there is no certainty they will be upgraded or become economically extractable. See Important Notices.

Investment Thesis

Exploration Strategy
Near-term exploration will proceed in two phases:
Surface Program & Decline
Phase one will involve a surface drill program designed to upgrade the current resource, facilitate geotechnical classification of vein/wall rock and provide vein material to initiate metallurgical test work. Phase one will also include the development of an underground exploration decline. This excavation will include drill bays that facilitate underground exploration activities that are not possible using a surface drill platform and will serve to improve upon information gained in the surface exploration program.
Underground Definition
Phase two will involve additional exploration drifting and underground resource definition drilling.
Silver Bow Mining drilled 8 surface holes totaling 4,700 feet in 2021. The near-term exploration plan expands on this work.

Permitting & Community
Permitting is among the most material risks for a U.S. mining project. Current authorizations and the path ahead:
| Permit / authorization | Agency | Status | Risk level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exploration Licence #00857 | Montana DEQ | In place | Low–Moderate |
| Amendment AMD2 — Authorization to Proceed | Montana DEQ | Granted May 2026 | Low |
| Operating / development permits | Montana DEQ | Future | Moderate–High |
| Environmental baseline & water | Montana DEQ / EPA context | Ongoing | Moderate–High |
The Rainbow Block sits within the historic Butte mining district, adjacent to legacy environmental (Superfund) areas. The Company maintains baseline environmental work and community engagement as part of its social licence to operate.
Active stakeholder engagement
Ongoing engagement with the Butte–Silver Bow administration, Atlantic Richfield, Montana Technological University, the U.S. EPA, and other relevant government agencies.
Managed environmental system
The district is a federally regulated remediation site with long-established monitoring, treatment, and compliance protocols.
Water monitoring & treatment
Continuous water-level monitoring by Montana Resources and Atlantic Richfield, tied to the Berkeley Pit protective water level and treatment system.
Defined remediation responsibility
Remediation in the district is governed under CERCLA. The Company has no designated Berkeley Pit remediation liability; its quantifiable obligations are limited to surface remediation.
Environmental matters in the Butte district are regulated and actively managed; ongoing regulatory engagement supports long-term district stability. Statements regarding remediation responsibility reflect the Company’s understanding of the CERCLA framework applicable to its properties; see the risk factors in the Company’s SEC filings.
