Maverick Gold and Silver confirms exploration targets at Jericho, Nevada

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 1, 2026) - Maverick Gold and Silver Corp., (CSE: MAV) (FSE: VR61) (OTC Pink: VRCFF) ("Maverick" or the "Company") announces results from chip channel and grab samples from the northern portion of the Jericho Property ( "Jericho" or the "Property" ) in Lincoln County, Nevada.

Eighteen (18) samples were taken covering the Fluorite Flat, Upper Flats and NE Extension Zones. These zones represent the northeastern 2-kilometre portion of the West Trend.

These results, in context of the geology and mineralization identified in the southern portion of the Property, validate the Company's geological interpretations that the northern portion of the Property may overlie an extension of the mineralizing system and, therefore elevates the entire northern portion of the property to a high-priority exploration target that warrants further investigation.

These exploration targets are on trend with the Helen and Tempa Zones where the Company has sampled up to 644.0 g/t (or 18.87 oz/T) silver and up to 7.21 g/t (or 0.21 oz/T) gold (see News Release dated August 25, 2026 ).

The Jericho Property is located approximately 40 km northeast of Pioche and is within the Eastern Calderas mineralized district. The Property is host to epithermal gold and silver mineralization made up of quartz veins, breccias, and stockwork zones that occur within two sub-parallel northeast striking structural corridors: the West Trend, which has been traced for in excess of 4 kilometres and the East Trend, which has been traced for 2 kilometres.

Fluorite Flat Zone:

The Fluorite Flat Zone is 550 metres from the Tempa Zone and is directly on trend with the Tempa and Helen Zones that, when combined, have been traced for approximately tw
