B.C. – Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (NASDAQ:SCZM) (TSX.V:SCZ) (“Santacruz” or the “Company”)
regrets to report that an employee of the Company was fatally injured at the Reserva mine, part of the mining operations in Bolivia.

 

The
incident occurred on June 24, 2026 at approximately 6:30 pm, at the end of the third shift. Preliminary findings indicate the incident
did not occur during the course of normal mining operations or the employee’s assigned work duties. Emergency response protocols
were immediately activated; however, despite these efforts, the employee did not survive the incident.

 

The
Company extends its deepest condolences to the employee’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. Support is
being provided to the employee’s family and to employees affected by this tragic loss.

On behalf of the entire organization, we express our condolences and support to the family of our employee during this incredibly difficult
time. Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our people. Our priority is to provide the necessary support to their loved
ones and, at the same time, advance a thorough investigation to determine the factors that led to this tragic event. We reaffirm our
commitment to safety, transparency, and the continuous improvement of our operating protocols, with the goal of preventing a similar
tragedy from happening again.

 

The
Company has well-established safety procedures and training programs in place. Preliminary findings indicate the incident may have involved
a deviation from these procedures.

 

As
an immediate precautionary measure, the Company suspended activities in the affected area and initiated a comprehensive investigation
in coordination with the competent authorities and external experts. The investigation will review the circumstances surrounding the
incident and identify any additional corrective measures, with a commitment to full transparency and technical rigor.

 

The
health and safety of the Company’s employees remain its highest priority. The Company remains committed to maintaining a safe workplace
through rigorous safety standards, ongoing training, and continuous improvement of its safety systems and practices.
