NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ExGen Resources Inc. (TSX.V: EXG; OTC: BXXRF) (“ExGen” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent dated December 15, 2025 (“LOI”) with an arm’s length private company (the “PrivateCo”) to acquire a silver stream (the “Silver Stream”) on a past-producing gold mine located in Chile (the “Property”).

Under the terms of the LOI, ExGen paid US$500,000 in consideration for the acquisition of a 33.4% Silver Stream until 333,334 ounces of silver have been delivered to ExGen and then a 16.7% Silver Stream on any further silver produced from the Property (the “Transaction”).

Jason Riley, Chief Executive Officer of ExGen, commented, “ExGen has been evaluating various potential streaming and royalty deals and we are excited to have signed our first silver stream with this LOI.”

THE PROPERTY
The Property is currently owned by a group of private individuals (the “Vendors”). PrivateCo is seeking to purchase the Property through an option (the “Option”) with the Vendors, and ExGen’s payment was made on behalf of PrivateCo directly to the Vendors (as per the requirements of the LOI).

TERMS OF THE LOI
Subject to the terms and conditions of the LOI, certain terms of the Transaction are as follows:

• ExGen has provided a cash payment of US$500,000 to the Vendors on behalf of PrivateCo.
• ExGen will pay to PrivateCo a delivery price for the silver delivered pursuant to the Silver Stream equal to 20% of the spot silver price, as determined by a major exchange, which exchange will be determined by the parties, acting reasonably.
• Pursuant to the binding LOI, PrivateCo is required to deliver a minimum of 4,200 ounces of silver to ExGen each calendar quarter beginning with the second quarter of 2027 (the “Quarterly Minimum”). If the Quarterly Minimum is not met, the Vendor will make up any shortfall to ExGen with an equivalent value of gold.
• ExGen will have preferential rights to participate in any future streaming or royalty transactions by PrivateCo on Property.
• The parties may enter into definitive streaming agreement containing terms and conditions as set out in the LOI and any other terms and conditions as are customary for transactions of a similar nature.
  

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
There can be no assurance that the proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. In particular, there is no guarantee that the PrivateCo and the Vendors will execute the Option, that the Option will be exercised by PrivateCo, that a mine on the Property will be put into production, or that production from any such mine will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Quarterly Minimum, the LOI and the Silver Stream.
