Executive Summary

  • Silicon Metals completed an initial assessment survey of its 100% owned Longworth and Silica Ridge silica projects in British Columbia, collecting a total of 40 rock samples for laboratory analysis.
  • The samples will be sent to an ISO‑9001 certified lab to determine SiO₂ purity, laying the groundwork for the company’s 2026 exploration programs aimed at high‑purity silica targets.
  • Management highlighted that while the assessment progresses, current focus remains on the production‑permitted Maple‑Birch project in Sudbury, Ontario, with further updates expected in the coming weeks.

Key Details

  • Longworth Project: 13 rock samples collected from exposed quartzite ridges where historic work indicated high silica content.
  • Silica Ridge Project: 27 rock samples collected along a prominent quartzite ridge with historically reported high‑grade SiO₂ values.
  • Laboratory Analysis: All 40 samples will be reviewed internally and then submitted to an ISO 9001‑certified laboratory for whole‑rock analysis to assess SiO₂ purity and potential for high‑purity silica development.
  • Purpose: The assessment program is the first step toward delineating high‑purity silica targets suitable for industrial and emerging technology applications, supporting the company’s 2026 exploration plans.
  • Management Comment (CEO Morgan Good): Emphasized that the completed work adds “more colour and details” for future asset understanding and noted ongoing focus on the Maple‑Birch project with upcoming news expected.
  • Technical Review: Raymond Wladichuk, P.Geo., Director & COO, a qualified person under NI 43‑101, reviewed and approved all scientific and technical information in the release.
