BLACKROCK DRILLS 6,526 G/T AGEQ OVER 0.91M WITHIN 1.52M GRADING 3,942 G/T AGEQ AND STEPS OUT TO WEST AND SOUTH AT TONOPAH WEST

Vancouver, British Columbia - Blackrock Silver Corp. (the 'Company' or 'Blackrock') is pleased to announce drill results from the Company's ongoing step-out and in-fill drilling programs on its 100% controlled Tonopah West project located in West Central Nevada along the Walker Lane trend. These results demonstrate continued expansion of the key known mineralized structure on the project, the Denver vein system (also known as 'Victor'), by an additional 600 metres to the Northwest, which has now grown to over 3 kilometres of drill-defined strike, and is projected to remain open to the west. In addition, assays have encountered a substantial new zone of mineralization to the south, including our highest-grade and shallowest intercept at the project to date

Highlights:

Core hole TXC22-057 has delivered the highest-grade intercept at the project to date, intersecting 0.91 metres of 37.86 g/t Au and 2,740 g/t Ag or 6,526.7 g/t AgEq within 1.52 metres grading 22.88 g/t Au and 1,654.1 g/t Ag or 3,942.2 g/t AgEq starting at 191.42 metres down-hole in the New Discovery area along the southern edge of the DPB resource area (AgEq_= Ag_g/t + Au_g/t*100).; RC hole TW22-118 intersected 1.52 metres of the Denver vein grading 1.70 grams per tonne ('g/t') gold ('Au') and 0.1 g/t silver ('Ag') or 171 g/t silver equivalent ('AgEq') a full 1.6 kilometres northwest of the DPB resource area. A follow-up core drillhole is planned to target for higher-grades at a more favourable elevation; Drilling continues to expand the mineralized footprint well beyond the April 2022 resource boundary and remains open to the south, northwest, and at depth; and Two drill rigs are operating at site and assays for 10 drillholes are pending at this time.

Andrew Pollard, Blackrock's President and CEO, stated, 'With two drill rigs at site, the latest assays from our ongoing 25,000 metre programme have materially expanded the footprint of known mineralization at the project, both to the northwest and to the south, delivering what is our highest-grade and shallowest intercept to date for the project in a new and quickly developing target area. The Denver vein system, which includes Victor, continues to show significant resource expansion potential, as step-out drilling has now tracked it an additional 1.6 kilometres to the northwest beyond the DPB resource area, with a further 500 metre step-out planned as - part of this programme. Our exploration model, of which continues to be validated, indicates that this structure remains wide open to the west, where we have an additional 1600 metres of strike potential to our consolidated Tonopah property boundary. It's clear that the project also has very deep roots and it remains open at depth as we've yet to find the bottom of the mineralized system.

Northwest Step Out

Target Drillholes TXC22-051 through -053 and TXC22-055 were completed in the Northwest Step Out target area. Drillhole TXC22-052 is 1,000 metres northwest of the DPB resource area and returned 4.6 metres grading 211 g/t AgEq beneath the Mizpah Andesite. Data compilation in the Northwest Step Out target shows that drillhole TW22-118 encountered a mineralized structure and returned 170 g/t AgEq over 1.52 metres within the Mizpah Andesite; however, the drillhole terminated above the projected pay zone. TW22-118 is an additional 600 metres west of TXC22-052. Drillhole TW22-117 is 500 metres west of TW22-118. The drillhole encountered the Mizpah Andesite, but was called at 762 metes; thus not testing the mineralized structure beneath the Mizpah. TXC22-055 was drilled to test the vein structure beneath the Mizpah andesite; however, the drillhole encountered a fault which off set the vein farther to the north. No significant assays were returned, but a better understanding of the cross structure was obtained from the drill information which will help to guide future drilling. Blackrock's property boundary extends an additional 1,600 metres west of TW22-117. From the DPB resource area to the edge of the Company's property boundary, drilling suggests major potential along a 3,700-metre corridor immediately beneath the Mizpah Andesite. The vein system is in a similar stratigraphic position as the Denver vein drilled in the Victor and DPB resource areas. The known strike of the Denver is 1,300 metres drilled in the Victor (500 m) and DPB (800m) resource areas. The Northwest Step shows an additional 3,700 metres of potential along the Denver vein system bringing the total to 5,000 metres of potential high-grade silver and gold on the Tonopah West project (See figure 1). Assay are pending from two core holes, and an additional five pre-collars are complete awaiting core tails.

Forward Looking Statements

This news release contains 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. Such forward-looking statements concern the Company's strategic plans, the maiden resource estimate on the Tonopah West project, timing and expectations for the Company's exploration and drilling programs, estimates of mineralization from drilling, geological information projected from sampling results and the potential quantities and grades of the target zones. Such forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: conditions in general economic and financial markets; accuracy of assay results; geological interpretations from drilling results, timing and amount of capital expenditures; performance of available laboratory and other related services; future operating costs; and the historical basis for current estimates of potential quantities and grades of target zones. The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of risk factors, including the ability of the Company to make payments related to the lease option to purchase the Tonopah West project; the timing and content of work programs; results of exploration activities and development of mineral properties; the interpretation and uncertainties of drilling results and other geological data; receipt, maintenance and security of permits and mineral property titles; environmental and other regulatory risks; project costs overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; availability of funds; failure to delineate potential quantities and grades of the target zones based on historical data, and general market and industry conditions. Forward-looking statements are based on the expectations and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made. The assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made.
