[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2026) - Aftermath Silver Ltd. (TSXV: AAG) (OTCQX: AAGFF) (the \"Company\" or \"Aftermath Silver\") is pleased to provide more assay results from its Phase 3 diamond drill program at the Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit located in the Department of Puno in southern Peru. Results are included for 19 holes from the 90-hole program of diamond core drilling. The holes are primarily infill drilling along a 225m strike length in two separate zones within the limits of the existing resource, aimed at 1) delineating high-grade mineralization suitable for mining as a starter pit in the planned future mining operations, and 2) defining the extent of mineral occurrences for planning purposes. In total, Aftermath has completed 15,540m of core drilling in 3 phases of diamond drilling and assay results for the remaining fifteen holes in this campaign will be reported shortly. Drill plans, sections and summary drill logs are available on Aftermath's website here: https://aftermathsilver.com/projects/berenguela/plans-and-sections/ Highlights of the current drilling include: AFD164 returned 25.3m @ 184 g/t Ag + 1.39% Cu + 19.1% Mn from surface; AFD165 returned 33.2m @ 394 g/t Ag + 1.19% Cu + 6.4% Mn from 46.1m downhole; AFD170 returned 37.8m @ 150 g/t Ag + 1.65% Cu + 26.3% Mn from surface; Ralph Rushton, President and CEO, commented, \"Infill drilling of the mineral resource in the area of the potential starter pits has now finished. The program successfully delineated high grade silver and copper mineralization defined in the 2025 mineral resource estimate (MRE) and produced some excellent intercepts like AFD165 reported here. Copper results from these holes were elevated, once again showing the multiple potential value generators from Berenguela. Infill drilling of Domains 1 and 2 of the MRE is now complete and drilling is temporarily shifting focus onto some planned geotechnical holes which are needed for the pre-feasibility study. This work is being supervised by the local Peruvian company, Amphos 21. Once that is completed, the plan is to investigate the high-grade copper mineralization on the eastern end of the MRE where drill road construction is required and the Southwest Intrusive/Skarn copper target where sampling has returned anomalous copper, associated w...
