Guanajuato Silver Company Ltd. Closes Second and Final Tranche of C$9.52m Private Placement

VANCOUVER, Dec 8, 2021 - Guanajuato Silver Company Ltd. (the "Company" or "GSilver") (TSXV:GSVR) (OTCQX:GSVRF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") totalling C$9.52 million announced November 18, 2021, and expanded on November 29, 2021 and again on December 6, 2021. The Company issued 2,402,634 units ("Units") for gross proceeds of C$1,321,449 in the second tranche for a total Offering of 17,304,306 Units for gross proceeds of C$9,517,368, each Unit consisting of one common share of the Company and one half (1/2) of a common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Company at a price of C$0.75 for a period of two years from of closing, subject to acceleration in certain events.

Chairman and CEO James Anderson said: "Support from our long-term shareholders - both large and small - has made this private placement an oversubscribed success. This financing leaves GSilver in a stronger financial position, able to withstand the vagaries of the marketplace as well as any technical challenges during the continued ramp up of Mexico's newest precious metals operation."

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. As of the date hereof, the Company's cash on hand is US$9.7 million and the Company holds 400 ounces of gold and 30,000 ounces of silver valued at approximately US$1.4 million.

The Company has paid total finder's fees in connection with the first and second tranches of the Offering of $134,770.15 cash and finder warrants to purchase up to 176,455 common shares of the Company on the same terms as the Warrants in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

All securities issued in connection with the second tranche of the Offering are subject to a four month hold period expiring April 8, 2022.

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 proposed use of proceeds from the Offering. 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. 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, 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 and maintain 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 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. These forward-looking 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.
