VANCOUVER, June 23, 2021 - Silver X Mining Corp. (TSXV:AGX)(OTC PINK:WRPSF)("Silver X" or the "Company") and Mines and Metals Trading (Peru) PLC ("MMTP", also commercially known as "Latitude Silver") are pleased to announce that, further to the Company's press releases dated February 11, 2021, March 1, 2021, March 19, 2021, April 16, 2021 and May 19, 2021, they have closed their previously announced business combination (the "Transaction"). The Company is now led by CEO Jose Garcia and Executive Chairman Luis Zapata along with an experienced board and Lead Advisor Paul Matysek. Silver X's team, assets and operational experience creates a growth-focused platform primed to consolidate the fragmented Peruvian silver landscape. The company is focused on increasing production and expanding the inferred resource of 7,324,400 tonnes at grades of 130.38 g/T Ag, 3.17% Pb/T, 2.04% Zn/T at its Nueva Recuperada project.

The Nueva Recuperada silver-lead-zinc project is in the heart of Peru's premier silver belt. The 15,000-hectare project, (see Figure 1) has been built through acquisitions from major producers including Buenaventura and Pan American Silver. The project includes a 600 tpd fully permitted processing facility that has been operating since 2019. Major targets include:

• Tangana - Silver, Gold, Lead Zinc: Hosts several of Latitude's mining operations and exploration assets with more than 7M tonnes of inferred resources.
• Esperanza - Silver, Lead, Zinc: Web of prospective veins with the potential to resume commercial production.
• Maria Luz - Silver: Prospective silver vein system currently being bulk sampled.

José García, CEO of Silver X said: "We are very excited to have completed the Transaction and to commence trading as Silver X. We believe that the listing and financing will allow us to grow rapidly and become one of the most attractive silver juniors in the market."

Luis Zapata, Executive Chairman of Silver X said: "Silver X mining is Latin America's newest publicly-listed silver producer and provides investors with exposure to one of the most exciting polymetallic districts in the region. We are excited to develop and unlock the production potential that we believe exists at Nueva Recuperada and are keenly awaiting the results of our maiden 30,000m drill program that is currently under way. The goal of this drill program is to optimize operations and to collect the data required to expand the current 7,324,400 tonne inferred resource at Nueva Recuperada".

Paul Matysek, Lead Advisor of Silver X said: "Peru tops the world with over 90 million metric tons of proven and probable silver reserves. The formation of Silver X provides both shareholders and stakeholders a tremendous opportunity to leverage substantial in-country knowledge, experience, and track-records of success to responsibly tap into this huge mineral endowment. It is a pleasure to work with such a committed management team and Board".
