Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Silver Bow Mining Appoints Montana Mining Executive

Doug Stiles as President

Travis Naugle,

Chairman and CEO: “Doug’s appointment reflects our commitment to building a leadership team with deep Montana mining

experience as we advance our Rainbow Block Project.”

BUTTE, MONTANA – July 27, 2026 – Silver

Bow Mining Corp. (NYSE American: SBMT) (“Silver Bow Mining” or the “Company”), a minerals exploration company

advancing the Butte Mining District of Montana, today announced the appointment of Doug Stiles as President of the Company. Mr. Stiles,

who has served as Vice President of Regulatory and External Affairs since February 2026, will continue to report to Travis Naugle, Chairman

and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Stiles’ appointment further strengthens

the Company’s executive leadership team by aligning its technical, regulatory, operational, and stakeholder engagement functions

under a seasoned Montana mining executive with more than 25 years of experience advancing mining projects through permitting, development,

and operations. His leadership will be instrumental as Silver Bow Mining advances exploration, permitting, and development at its flagship

Rainbow Block Project.

“Doug’s appointment reflects our

commitment to building a leadership team with deep Montana mining experience as we advance our Rainbow Block Project,” said Travis

Naugle. “He is a Montana native, a Montana Tech graduate, and a mining executive who has successfully navigated every stage of a

mining project’s life cycle – from permitting and development through operations and closure. With the Rainbow Block Project

located entirely on private patented lands under the jurisdiction of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, we have a clear

and well-defined permitting pathway. Doug’s leadership, experience, and deep understanding of Montana’s regulatory and community

landscape significantly strengthen our ability to execute our strategy and responsibly advance the Rainbow Block.”

“I was born and raised in Montana and earned

my engineering degree in Butte, so helping advance the Rainbow Block Project is both professionally rewarding and personally meaningful,”

said Mr. Stiles. “Throughout my career, I have believed that successful mining is built on technical excellence, environmental responsibility,

and earning the trust of regulators, local communities, and other stakeholders. Returning to the Butte Mining District to help build the

next generation of mines here is an honor. As President, my focus

will be on safely advancing the Rainbow Block

Project while delivering on every commitment we make to the State of Montana, the communities of Butte and Walkerville, and our shareholders.”

Proven Track Record in Montana Mine Development

Mr. Stiles holds a BS in environmental engineering

from Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology (now Montana Technological University), an MBA from Washington State University,

and has spent more than 25 years permitting, developing, operating, and remediating mining projects in Montana, including the Rock Creek

copper-silver project, the Montanore copper-silver project, and the Troy Mine.

As Silver Bow Mining’s Vice President of

Regulatory and External Affairs, Mr. Stiles has been responsible for regulatory strategy, permitting, compliance, government relations,

and public and community engagement activities in the Butte Mining District. He serves as the Company’s principal interface with

the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and key stakeholders.

Mr. Stiles previously served as Director of

Environmental Operations for Hecla Mining Company, the largest primary silver producer in the United States, and as General Manager of

Hecla Montana, a wholly owned subsidiary. At Hecla, he directed state and federal permitting for the Rock Creek and Montanore copper-silver

projects in northwest Montana. As project lead for both, he managed the subsequent state and federal legal challenges, providing expert

witness and hearing testimony. He also led the closure of the Troy Mine, including an early modification of the mine’s state-approved

Plan of Operations that improved closure outcomes for both the site and the surrounding environment.
