Kuya Silver Confirms High-Grade Silver-Gold Vein Mineralization at Umm-Hadid with Initial Drill Results up to 1483.9 g/t AgEq over 2 Metres

KUYA · Price

Executive Summary

  • Kuya Silver reported high‑grade silver‑gold intercepts from its first 5,000 m diamond drill program at the Umm‑Hadid Project in Saudi Arabia.
  • Multiple holes returned spectacular AgEq grades (e.g., 1,483.9 g/t AgEq over 2 m in Hole 25‑UH‑010).
  • Surface sampling of 460 grab samples confirmed a large, district‑scale precious‑metal system and defined three primary target zones for further drilling.

Key Details

  • Drilling Overview: 5,001.58 m drilled across 29 holes (average depth 177 m; max 351 m).
  • Top Intercepts:
  • Hole 25‑UH‑010 – 2.0 m @ 1,483.9 g/t AgEq (3.8 g/t Au, 1,227 g/t Ag) from 52–54 m.
  • Hole 25‑UH‑011 – 2.0 m @ 248.5 g/t AgEq (2.6 g/t Au, 108.1 g/t Ag) from 94–96 m.
  • Hole 25‑UH‑012 – 1.0 m @ 632.5 g/t AgEq (0.9 g/t Au, 569 g/t Ag) from 95–96 m.
  • Hole 25‑UH‑014 – 1.0 m @ 389.6 g/t AgEq (0.2 g/t Au, 376 g/t Ag) from 83–84 m.
  • Hole 25‑UH‑018 – 2.0 m @ 718 g/t AgEq (3.0 g/t Au, 514.5 g/t Ag) from 87–89 m.
  • Surface Sampling: 460 grab samples; arithmetic average 86.10 g/t AgEq. Highest sample 1,359.82 g/t AgEq (1.60 g/t Au, 1,250 g/t Ag).
  • Target Definition: Three zones identified across a 6 km × 2.5 km area:
  • Target 01 (4.5 × 2.5 km) – 902 m drilled in 6 holes; 5 holes confirmed mineralization, best intercept as above.
  • Target 02 (4 × 1 km) – 899 m drilled in 5 holes; only Hole 25‑UH‑018 returned significant grades.
  • Target 03 (1.3 × 1 km) – 514 m drilled in 3 holes; Hole 25‑UH‑029 gave three notable intervals; high‑grade surface vein pending further drilling.
  • QA/QC: Core samples logged and analyzed by Bureau Veritas Laboratories (Jeddah) using four‑acid digestion ICP‑ES, fire assay, and gravimetric finish; control samples within acceptable limits.
  • Qualified Person: Osbaldo Zamora, Ph.D., P.Geol., VP Exploration, Kuya Silver (NI 43‑101 QP).

Notable Quotes

“The success of our maiden 5,000‑meter drilling program at Umm Hadid is a significant milestone… achieving silver grades up to 1,275 g/t and gold grades up to 10.53 g/t… validates a predictive model that we believe can be applied across the entire district.” – Osbaldo Zamora, Vice President Exploration

Materiality Assessment

  • Material - Positive – The high‑grade intercepts and extensive surface sampling materially enhance the valuation of the Umm‑Hadid Project and indicate a large, economically viable silver‑gold system.
