SLV · Price

Executive Summary

  • Silver Dollar Resources announced the discovery of a new, widely disseminated mineralized zone (“North Canyon”) on its 100% owned Nora property in Durango, Mexico.
  • Channel‑sampling returned high-grade assays, highlighted by a 12.48 m interval averaging 162 g/t AgEq (including 0.02 g/t Au and 39 g/t Ag).
  • The company received a three‑year drill permit authorizing up to 18 drill pads, road repairs, and future drilling once priority targets are defined.

Key Details

  • North Canyon Zone Location: ~1,500 m north of historic Candy mine; 950 m north of prior sampling.
  • Channel Sample Highlights (Trench NOR‑Z‑08):
  • 12.48 m @ 0.02 g/t Au, 39 g/t Ag, 162 g/t AgEq.
  • Additional intervals: NOR‑Z‑09 (4.27 m @ 68 g/t AgEq) and NOR‑Z‑10 (2.30 m @ 72 g/t AgEq).
  • Full Assay Table (selected high‑grade samples):
  • R‑170: 0.63 g/t Au, 0.581 % Pb, 8.48 % Zn → 476 g/t AgEq.
  • R‑171: 1.5 g/t Au, 0.783 % Pb, 1.59 % Zn → 221 g/t AgEq.
  • R‑160: 0.017 g/t Au, 149 % Pb, 0.33 % Zn → 331 g/t AgEq.
  • Assay Methodology: Samples processed by ActLabs (ISO 9001:2015) using fire assay for Au and ICP‑OES/AES for Ag and base metals; QA/QC includes certified reference and blank inserts.
  • Drill Permit Details: Valid for three years; permits construction of up to 18 drill pads and road repairs on the Nora property. Detailed drilling plan pending target delineation.
  • Qualified Person Review: Dale Moore, P.Geo., QP (NI 43‑101) reviewed and approved technical content.
  • Corporate Context: Property acquired from Canasil Resources (2% NSR royalty). The discovery adds to Silver Dollar’s portfolio that includes Ranger‑Page, La Joya, and the early‑stage Nora project.

Notable Quotes

“We are encouraged by the discovery of the most widespread mineralization found to date on the Nora Property,” said Greg Lytle, President & CEO. “We have mobilized a crew to begin follow‑up trenching, sampling and detailed mapping of the North Canyon Zone.”
