Silicon Metals Corp. Announces Mobilization at the Production Permitted Maple-Birch Project in the Sudbury Mining District of Ontario, Canada

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 30, 2025) – SILICON METALS CORP. (CSE: SI) (FSE: X6U) (“Silicon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that mobilization is underway on its Maple-Birch Project. The Maple-Birch Project is a high purity quartz pegmatite project located in the world class Sudbury mining district, in Ontario, Canada.

The Company has carried out multiple assessment missions with the intention to establish ground access for larger equipment. The Company has engaged a contract mining company to assist in the efforts moving forward. During these site visits multiple samples have been taken from the Project, in total a few hundred kilograms. These samples are planned for advanced metallurgical testing.

Additionally, the Company has begun to set up its technical team and equipment on the ground in the Sudbury area to improve project logistics. The Company believes that having a growing footprint in the region is of strategic importance, as the Sudbury mining district is rich with critical and industrial minerals of interest to the Company.

Maple-Birch is a high purity quartz pegmatite body which the Company believes shares many characteristics of the Spruce Pine mine in North Carolina, USA. The Spruce Pine mine produces some the purest quartz material in the world and is a globally important source of the critical mineral, as well as feldspar and mica.
