Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2026) - Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX: SAM) (\"Starcore\" or \"the Company\") announces production results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended April 2026 at its San Martin Mine (\"San Martin\") in Querétaro, Mexico.
\nIn this quarter we encountered lower grades and tonnage processed. This was due mainly to the fact that the high-grade Manto reserves, which were detected using diamond drilling in the previous quarter, were found to be located between a fault at the top of the Manto and very soft material at the bottom. This makes mining very difficult and is subject to higher dilution. We quickly adjusted to prepare a new high-grade ore body in another area of ​​the mine to counteract this effect, and this new ore body was reached by the end of the quarter.
\nThe geophysical survey announced in the previous quarter was carried out consisting of two surveys: a mobile MT (Magneto Telluric) geophysical survey conducted by Expert Geophysics, covering a total of 91.5 square kilometers, and an IP (Induced Polarization) geophysical survey by Geotem, covering a total of 5.2 square kilometers. The results of the surveys are expected to be known by the end of May. With this, we have practically covered 70% of the 13,000-hectare concession.
\n\"At this time we are focused on increasing the production of ounces in both the oxide ore and the carbonaceous ore, which was producing results from the second half of April. The Carbonaceous ore being processed through the plant is averaging 3 g/t of gold and 25 g/t of silver at a recovery of approximately 80% with milling reaching 100 tons per day by quarter end,\" stated Salvador GarcÃa, the Company\'s Chief Operating Officer.

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.
Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.
Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Mine$tockers Inc., its affiliates, family, friends, employees, associates, and others may hold positions in the securities it covers. Some of the companies covered may be paying clients of the production.
No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
