DENARIUS METALS ANNOUNCES UPDATE ON ITS CAPITAL STRUCTURE

TORONTO, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) ("Denarius Metals" or the "Company") announced today an update on its capital structure in light of the exercises of warrants that have been taking place since the beginning of 2026.

Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Denarius Metals, commented, "We are very pleased with this latest development which strengthens our balance sheet as we continue to execute our growth strategy in Colombia and Spain. 2026 is shaping up to be a transformational year for us as we ramp up production at our Zancudo Project, shifting from the current early production stage to commercial concentrate production by the end of the third quarter this year. In the current early production stage, we are starting to see improvement in daily mining rates which is enabling us to increase the volume of crushed material we are shipping for sale to Trafigura to generate cash flow from the Zancudo Project. Last month, we shipped 581 tonnes of material to Trafigura, up from 362 tonnes in January. Grades in the last two months have averaged approximately 10 g/t gold and 200 g/t silver. We are in the process of installing a new mill at the Independencia Mine site that will expand our crushing capacity to handle the ramp up in tonnes mined from our ongoing development program while the construction of the new concentrate processing plant is completed. In Spain, we are making progress on the joint venture-level financing for the restart of operations at the Aguablanca Project and expect to commence the restart activities in the second quarter this year."

As at March 6, 2026, the Company had the following securities issued and outstanding:
