Aftermath Silver Agrees Terms to Sell 100% Of The Cachinal Silver-Gold Project To Honey Badger Silver Inc.

Vancouver, June 10, 2022 - Aftermath Silver Ltd. (TSXV: AAG) (OTCQX: AAGFF) (the "Company" or "Aftermath Silver") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") to sell its 100% interest in the Cachinal De La Sierra Silver-Gold Project (the "Cachinal Project" or "Cachinal"), located in the Cachinal de la Sierra area in Chile's Antofagasta region (Region II) to Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) ("Honey Badger"). The proposed transaction includes an exclusivity period that ends on August 15, 2022. Aftermath Silver and Honey Badger are working diligently to finalize a definitive agreement on or before this date.

Ralph Rushton, President of Aftermath Silver, commented: "We're pleased to announce the sale of the Cachinal silver-gold project to Honey Badger. Our priority is to advance the Berenguela silver-copper-manganese project in Peru, and the sale of Cachinal - which became non-core for us as our work at Berenguela progressed - represents the fastest way to potentially unlock value in the project for our shareholders. In addition to cash and share payments, we will receive production payments when commercial production starts and we will also retain an NSR."

• Share Payment: C$1,000,000 in shares of Honey Badger payable at closing and priced at the greater of: (i) the volume weighted average share price of the Honey Badger common shares on the TSXV for a period of thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of announcement of the transaction and (ii) the maximum discounted price allowed under the policies of the TSXV.

The detailed terms and conditions of the proposed transaction will be set out in definitive documentation to be negotiated between the parties, which will contain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties as well as customary indemnities and closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated, or at all. Readers are referred to the section below entitled: "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information".

While the Term Sheet is non-binding, the parties have agreed to a mutual break fee of C$250,000 in the event a definitive agreement is not entered into prior to the expiry of the exclusivity period due to a party's action or inaction, subject to certain exceptions outside the control of the parties. The proposed transaction will be subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
