Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2026) - Bayhorse Silver Inc, (TSXV: BHS) (OTCQB: BHSIF) (FSE: 7KXN) (the "Company" or "Bayhorse") has increased its planned underground diamond drill program at the Bayhorse Silver Mine to up to 20 diamond drill holes, with a first stage program for a minimum 2,300 m (7,545 ft) to include drilling the conceptual exploration areas as disclosed in the Company's NI-43-101 Technical Report of Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 292,300 tons at a grade of 21.65 opt (673 g/t) for 6.3 million ounces of silver (Turner et al. 2018) .

This conceptual exploration area has now been better defined by the Company's recent IP program with IP anomalies CR-1, CR-2 and MW-2 planned in a first stage drilling program and a planned second stage drill program targeting IP anomalies CR-3 andMR-1 and MR-2 that lie east of and below the inferred resource area (see news release BHS2025-5 ) as outlined in Figures 1-4 below. While it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the definition of additional mineral resources, our increased drilling objective is to provide additional data to further refine our understanding of the extent, structure and mineralization of the Bayhorse silver endowment and to potentially increase the known inferred resource. Bayhorse CEO Graeme O'Neill, comments, "The authors of the 2018 Technical Report , have classified material in an expanded model that is outside of the above inferred mineral resource model as a conceptual exploration target.

The IP targets identified for the above drill program extend beyond the area of our NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (above) into the conceptual exploration targets and is intended to determine whether inferred ounces can be increased and/or whether inferred ounces can be brought to an indicated or better category. Our additional analysis of the IP results indicates the strong possibility of silver, copper and antimony critical minerals bearing material extending beyond the existing inferred resource boundary, vertically above and below the current mine workings of over 300 m (1,000 feet), and extending on strike both east and west."

Five diamond drill holes of up to 730 m (2,396 ft) are planned for CR-1.

Six diamond drill holes totaling 1,149 m (3,770 ft) are planned for CR-2.

Three diamond drill holes totaling 420 m (1,379 ft) are planned for MW-2. Drill target CR-3 (Figure 4) that will be drilled in a planned 2nd stage drill program, lies +/- 243 m (800 ft) north-west of the western end of the rehabilitated main haulage way and at the western edge of the CR-2 drill targets. Five drill holes are planned from the west drill station totalling 1909 m (6,264 ft).
