Americas Gold And Silver Announces Change Of Location For 2020 Annual Shareholders' Meeting

If, for reasons beyond the control of the Company, the Company shall determine that it has become impractical or impermissible to hold the Meeting at the Meeting Location, including in an effort to safeguard the health of all stakeholders and the broader community associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has made arrangements with Alliance Advisors such that the Meeting shall be adjourned to a virtual-only Meeting to be held on Thursday the 14^th day of May, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. EDT for the purposes of conducting the Meeting Business at http://viewproxy.com/AmericasGoldandSilverCorp/2020/VM/ where shareholders may attend and participate via live webcast. Notice of any such adjournment and details and information relating to such a change to a virtual-only Meeting, including instructions for attending and participating in a virtual-only Meeting, will be provided as far in advance of the Meeting as practicable by press release, filings on SEDAR and EDGAR, and on the Company's website at www.americas?gold.com/investors/shareholder?meeting?documents/; however, given the context of ever-evolving facts and circumstances, the timing of such prior notice of such change to a virtual-only Meeting cannot be guaranteed at this time. In the event that the Company determines to hold the Meeting as a virtual-only Meeting, shareholders will be permitted to communicate with each other during the Meeting, regardless of their geographic location; however, shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting in person.

Given the context of the COVID-19 situation, the Company's Board of Directors, auditors and other advisors do not plan on attending, and in some cases are not permitted to cross international borders for the purpose of attending, at the Meeting, and due to further government orders concerning the maximum size of public gatherings or otherwise, the Company may be unable to admit shareholders to the Meeting. The Ontario government issued an emergency order dated March 28, 2020 (the "Order") which prohibits gatherings of more than five people. If this Order, or another law or order is in place on the date of the Meeting, the Company intends to proceed with the Meeting so long as quorum is satisfied, and attendance will be limited to the maximum number of people permitted by law. The Company strongly encourages each Shareholder to submit a form of proxy or voting instruction form in advance of the Meeting and not plan on attending the Meeting in person, in order to comply with government and public health directives regarding social distancing.

Shareholders are encouraged to vote in advance of the Meeting by completing, signing, dating and returning the previously provided form of proxy by mail or by following the instructions for voting by telephone or internet in the form of proxy. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 3, 2020 will be entitled to vote on the Meeting Business.
