Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 13, 2026) - Maverick Gold and Silver Corp., (CSE: MAV) (FSE: VR61) (OTC Pink: VRCFF) ("Maverick" or the "Company") announces that it has received formal confirmation from the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals, Mines Competitiveness and Authorizations Division, that an additional five (5) mineral claims, which were applied for in January (see news release dated January 26, 2026), adjoining the Silver Vista Property ("Silver Vista") have been granted. The newly approved claims add 1,901 hectares (4,698 acres) to the property, increasing the size by 42%.
The Silver Vista property, located approximately 55 km from Smithers, B.C., is now comprised of 17 mineral claims and covers 6,444.5 hectares (15,925 acres), or 64.44 square kilometres (24.88 square miles).
The new claims cover two historic soil anomalies that appear to have not had additional follow up work completed on them. Each anomaly is in proximity to Eocene aged porphyritic rocks that are intruding Jurassic aged sedimentary and volcanic rocks or overlying Cretaceous aged volcanic rocks. The new claims are prospective for copper and silver as the geological environment there is similar to that surrounding the MR Showing, which has been tested with 4,034 metres (13,235 feet) of drilling and will have follow-up drilling by the Company.
"The granting of these new claims comes at a great time for the Company as we are in the final stages of preparation for our fully funded drill program on Silver Vista," stated Glen Watson, President and CEO of Maverick Gold and Silver.
Upcoming Drill Program
Preparations continue for the Company's fully funded drill program at Silver Vista, which is anticipated to start prior to the end of September.
The hyperspectral survey of the 2019 and 2021 drill core continues, and the Company had made progress on its new three-dimensional model, which includes all drill data collected to date.
