Vancouver, British Columbia, February 18, 2026 – Silver X Mining Corp. (TSX-V: AGX | OTCQB: AGXPF | F: AGX) (“Silver X” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been recognized by TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) as a 2026 Top 50 Company.

The TSX Venture 50 is an annual ranking of the top performing companies from the past year on

TSXV based on three equally weighted criteria: market capitalization growth, share price appreciation and trading value. The TSX Venture 50 showcases the top 50 of the over 1,600 TSXV issuers.

In 2025, Silver X’s share price appreciated 454% and its market cap growth was 659%, positioning the Company as eighth overall on the 2026 TSX Venture 50TM list.

“Achieving our first ranking in the TSX Venture 50 is an exciting milestone and a reflection of the years of work our team has dedicated to building Silver X into a growing, premier silver company,” said José Garcia, President and CEO of Silver X. “The strong share performance over the past year highlights the progress we’ve made and, importantly, the opportunity we continue to see ahead. With production increasing at Tangana, Plata advancing toward production, and ongoing resource expansion, we believe Silver X is entering a compelling new phase of growth. Our purpose remains clear — to become a leading silver company by unlocking asset value, driving profitable growth, and delivering responsible, lasting stakeholder value — and we are committed to executing that vision for the long term.”

Andrew Creech, President, TSX Venture Exchange commented: “The 2026 TSX Venture 50 reflects a clear inflection point for early-stage finance, with a return of liquidity and capital that reinforces Canada’s position as a world-leading centre for resource discovery, strategic innovation, and scale. This yearʼs ranking underscores the vital role TSXV plays in channeling capital to the mining sector and serving as the primary growth pipeline for the next generation of global mineral supply.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Production without Mineral Reserves

The decision to commence production at the Nueva Recuperada Project and the Company’s ongoing mining operations as referenced herein (the “Production Decision and Operations”) are based on economic models prepared by the Company in conjunction with management’s knowledge of the property and the existing estimate of mineral resources on the property. The Production Decision and Operations are not based on a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with the Production Decision and Operations, in particular: the risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional construction or ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than expected; and production and economic variables may vary considerably.
