**Dolly Varden Silver Drills 56,131 Meters in 84 Drill Holes on the 2025 Kitsault Valley Exploration Program** 

Vancouver, British Columbia - October 17, 2025 - Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSXV: DV \| NYSE-A: DVS \| FSE: DVQ) (the "**Company**" or "**Dolly Varden**") announces completion of the 2025 diamond drill program on the 100% owned Kitsault Valley Project with a total of 56,131 meters in 84 drill holes. The program has confirmed resource expansion through step-out and infill drilling at the Wolf and Homestake Silver deposits as well as intersecting new mineralization at numerous exploration targets throughout the Kitsault Valley and Big Bulk copper-gold porphyry project.

"Early season high-grade, wide silver results from the Wolf Vein backed up the expansion of the 2025 drill program from 35,000 meters to 55,000 meters at the Kitsault Valley with successful step-outs and exciting new mineralized zones gives us a clear line of sight on the next set of priorities. The team delivered safely and efficiently, and the work strengthens our conviction in growing Kitsault Valley's high-grade silver and gold potential. With fieldwork and core logging complete, expect a steady cadence of updates as we integrate and release assays," states Shawn Khunkhun, President & CEO.

The 2025 drill program split approximately 60% on the Dolly Varden property and 40% on the Homestake Ridge property. The Company is using directional drilling technology to precisely target areas for step-out and infill holes at both the Wolf and Homestake Silver deposits. Utilizing the same mother hole to drill multiple intersects of the targeted mineralized zone in numerous daughter holes has increased efficiency and accuracy over previous drilling.
