RETRANSMISSION: Silver Hammer Announces Acquisitions of Stroud Resources and SilverMark Resources and Brokered Financing; Eric Sprott to Become Cornerstone Shareholder

Silver Hammer Mining announced a transformative transaction to acquire Stroud Resources and SilverMark Resources, creating a larger, diversified silver exploration company to be renamed Silver Frontier Mining Corp. The deal adds Stroud’s Santo Domingo silver-gold project in Mexico and SilverMark’s Moroccan asset portfolio to Silver Hammer’s U.S. silver properties, with the combined company targeting a materially stronger resource base, improved liquidity, and a higher capital markets profile. Santo Domingo contributes about 25.74 Moz AgEq measured & indicated and 13.39 Moz AgEq inferred. The company is also arranging a brokered concurrent financing of C$7 million to C$10 million, plus a C$2 million over-allotment option, with Eric Sprott expected to be a cornerstone investor and largest shareholder. The transaction is subject to multiple shareholder and regulatory approvals, as well as a 4:1 consolidation, and is expected to close in Q4 2026.
