Guanajuato Silver Company Ltd. Announces C$8.25M Private Placement

Major Stakeholder Support:

The Company would like to acknowledge the ongoing support of our largest shareholder, Endeavour Silver Corp. ("Endeavour"), which continues to provide assistance in the restarting of the El Cubo mine and mill operation, and which has subscribed for 5,750,000 Units (C$3,162,500) of the Offering. Endeavour, which currently owns 21,331,058 shares or approximately 10.37% of the Company prior to the Offering, will own 27,982,282 shares or approximately 12.63% of the Company after giving effect to the Offering (assuming the entire Offering is sold) and the issuance of 901,224 shares to Endeavour in connection with the Company's early payment of Endeavour's US$2.5 million promissory note as announced (click here) November 16, 2021.

Additionally, the Company would like to thank Ocean Partners Holdings Ltd. ("Ocean Partners") for their subscription and support. As announced on (click here:) Sept. 23, 2021, Ocean Partners has contracted with GSilver to purchase all of our silver and gold concentrate for an 18-month term, commencing in October 2021. Ocean Partners has provided GSilver with a US$1.5M prepayment facility and are now subscribing for 1,000,000 Units (C$550K) of the Offering to become an equity shareholder of the Company.

James Anderson, Chairman & CEO, stated, "The continued financial backing of our largest shareholder and of our metals trading service partner is a major endorsement regarding the quality of our projects and the ability of our management team to execute. We consider it prudent at this time to ensure that GSilver has a healthy balance sheet and financial buffer in place as we move forward with the El Cubo ramp-up."

Use of Proceeds:

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the ongoing exploration, development, and expansion of the Company's El Cubo mine and mill complex and El Pinguico silver and gold project, both located near the city of Guanajuato, Mexico; and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Offering is subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") with an initial closing scheduled for on or about November 30, 2021. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of closing. The Company may pay finder's fees in cash, shares or warrants or any combination thereof to certain finders in connection with the sale of Units in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.

By virtue of its current shareholdings in GSilver, Endeavour's acquisition of Units in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). In addition, it is expected that certain directors and/or officers of GSilver will be participating in the Offering. However, the Company expects the participation by Endeavour and such directors and/or officers (collectively the "Insiders") in the Offering will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 based on the fact that neither the fair market value of the Units subscribed for by the Insiders, nor the consideration for the Units to be paid by the Insiders, will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The Company will file a material change report in connection with the Offering less than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances to be able to avail itself of potential financing opportunities and complete the Offering in a timely manner.

This new release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains certain forward-looking statements and information, which relate to future events or future performance including, but not limited to, the total proceeds to be raised under the Offering and the timing thereof and the use of proceeds therefrom; the ability of the Company to successfully ramp-up production at El Cubo and produce larger quantities of silver and gold concentrate at higher grades; the Company's ability to restart production from the El Pinguico mine and supply sufficient quantities of silver and gold bearing material from El Pinguico and El Cubo to the El Cubo mill to produce concentrate at the projected amounts, grades, costs and revenues; the Company's future development and production activities; estimates of mineral resources and the accessibility, attractiveness, mineral content and metallurgical characteristics thereof; the opportunities for future exploration, development and production at El Cubo and El Pinguico and the proposed exploration, development and production programs therefor and the timing and costs thereof; and the success related to any future exploration, development and/or production programs.

Such forward-looking statements and information reflect management's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to and assumptions made by the Company; which assumptions, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include: our mineral resource estimates at El Cubo and El Pinguico and the assumptions upon which they are based, including geotechnical and metallurgical characteristics of rock conforming to sampled results and metallurgical performance; tonnage of mineralized material to be mined and processed; resource grades and recoveries; assumptions and discount rates being appropriately applied to production estimates; success of the Company's combined El Cubo / El Pinguico operation; prices for silver and gold remaining as estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; availability of funds for the Company's projects; capital, decommissioning and reclamation estimates; prices for energy inputs, labor, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); no union or other labor-related disruptions; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled construction and production; all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals are received in a timely manner; and the ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.

Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements and information are neither promises nor guarantees, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause future results to differ materially from those expected including, but not limited to, market conditions, availability of financing, currency rate fluctuations, actual results of exploration, development and production activities, actual resource grades and recoveries of silver and gold, unanticipated geological or structural formations and characteristics, environmental risks, future prices of gold, silver and other metals, operating risks, accidents, union or other labor issues, equipment or personnel delays, delays in obtaining governmental or regulatory approvals and permits, inadequate insurance, and other risks in the mining industry. There are no assurances that GSilver will be able to successfully ramp-up production at the El Cubo mill to process mineralized materials to produce silver and gold concentrate in the amounts, grades, recoveries, costs and timetable anticipated. In addition, GSilver's decision to process mineralized material from its estimated resources at El Cubo and above and underground stockpiles at El Pinguico through the El Cubo mill is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and therefore is subject to increased uncertainty and risk of failure, both economically and technically. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability, are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them, and may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, and other relevant issues. There are no assurances that the results of the Company's recently announced preliminary economic assessment and projected production of silver and gold will be realized. There is also uncertainty about the spread of COVID-19 and variants of concern and the impact they will have on the Company's operations, supply chains, ability to access El Pinguico and/or El Cubo or procure equipment, contractors and other personnel on a timely basis or at all and economic activity in general. All the forward-looking information and statements made in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and those in our continuous disclosure filings available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Forward-looking information and statements are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances save as required by law.
