Discovery Shareholders Overwhelmingly Approve Share Issuance Resolution

TORONTO, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF) (“Discovery” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that shareholders of Discovery (“Shareholders”) overwhelmingly approved the issuance of shares (the “Share Issuance Resolution”) relating to the previously announced acquisition of Newmont Corporation’s Porcupine Complex (the "Acquisition") at the special meeting (the “Meeting”) of Shareholders held earlier today.

A total of 221,843,126 common shares of Discovery were represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, representing approximately 55.40% of the total number of shares issued and outstanding as of the record date for the Meeting.

The Share Issuance Resolution was overwhelmingly approved at the Meeting by 99.85% of the votes cast by Shareholders voting in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

To be effective, the Share Issuance Resolution required the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders, present or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Accordingly, the Shareholder approval has been obtained to proceed with the issuance of all consideration shares for the Acquisition as further described in the management information circular of Discovery dated February 24, 2025 (the "Circular").

The Acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to, among other things, the completion of a pre-closing reorganization by affiliates of Newmont Corporation (with the reorganization being subject to certain approvals, including the consent of Ontario's Ministry of Mines), receipt of all required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions.

Additional details of the voting results will be included in a report of voting results to be filed on SEDAR+ () under Discovery's issuer profile. Additional details about the Acquisition and the Share Issuance Resolution can be found in the Circular, a copy of which is available on SEDAR+ () under Discovery's issuer profile and on the Company’s website at .
