Cautionary Statements Forward-looking statementsThis presentation contains “forward‐looking statements” and “forward-looking information” (collectively “forward-looking statements”) within themeaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation. These include, without limitation, statements with respect to: the economicsand project parameters presented in the PEA, including IRR, AISC, NPV, and other costs and economic information; possible events, conditions orfinancial performance that is based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action; the strategic plans, timing, costs andexpectations for the Company’s future development and exploration activities on the Las Chispas Property, including construction of the Area 51decline, metallurgical test, mineralization and resource estimates and grades for drill intercepts, permitting for various work, and optimizing andupdating the Company’s resource model and preparing a feasibility study; information with respect to high grade areas and size of veins projectedfrom underground sampling results and drilling results; and the accessibility of future mining at the Las Chispas Property. Assumptions have beenmade regarding, among other things: the reliability of mineralization estimates, the conditions in general economic and financial markets; availabilityand costs of mining equipment and skilled labour; accuracy of the interpretations and assumptions used in calculating resource estimates; operationsnot being disrupted or delayed by unusual geological or technical problems; ability to develop and finance the Las Chispas Project; and effects ofregulation by governmental agencies. The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward‐looking statements as a resultof the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this presentation: fluctuations in precious metals prices, price of consumed commodities andcurrency markets; uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and uncertainty that developmentactivities will result in profitable mining operations; risks related to mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations andassumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated; the interpretation of drilling results andother geological data; receipt, maintenance and security of permits and mineral property titles; environmental and other regulatory risks; project costoverruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; and general market and industry conditions. The assumptions used in the preparation of suchstatements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, readers are cautioned not to placeundue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made. The Company undertakes noobligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements included in this presentation, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”)The Company cautions that the results of the PEA are preliminary in nature and include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to be classified as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

Qualified PersonsUnder National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, the Qualified Person for this presentation is N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng.and CEO for SilverCrest Metals Inc., who has reviewed and approved its contents.

❖ 26 Veins not in resource. ~ 25 km in strike length untested + depth potential.

Defense❖ Margin and FCF protection at lower commodity prices.

❖ NPV to capex at 3:1x assuming $1100 /oz Au $14.00/oz Ag.

❖ Major permits in place, low Capex, strong social license.

Stockpiling helps manage risk

• ~200,000 tonnes currently stockpiled

– ~175,000 historical tonnes

– ~30,000 new tonnes from underground

• 1,250 tonnes per day mill – 456,000 tonnes per year

Benefits from being in-vein

• Understand nugget effect of high-grade

• Better estimation of mine dilution

• Increase understanding of mining methods

• Better understanding on vein continuity and grade

• Metallurgy

• Ground control

• Optimizing process flow sheet
