DRILLING UNDERWAY AT SILVER NORTH'S FLAGSHIP HALDANE SILVER PROPERTY, YUKON
Silver North Resources Ltd. has launched the 2025 exploration program at the company's flagship Haldane silver property in the historic Keno Hill silver district, Yukon. Initial plans outline 10 holes from four drill sites, totalling approximately 2,500 metres of drilling. The road-accessible 8,579-hectare Haldane property is located 25 kilometres west of Keno City, Yukon, adjacent to Hecla Mining's producing Keno Hill silver mine property, and hosts numerous occurrences of silver-lead-zinc-bearing quartz siderite veins as seen elsewhere in the district.
Ten holes to follow up 2024 Main fault discovery, testing down-dip and strike potential.
First hole to test down-dip of 2024 Main zone discovery where three stacked high-grade silver-bearing veins were interested within a structural zone that returned 28.36 metres (true width) of 130 grams per tonne silver, 0.09 g/t gold, 0.55 per cent lead and 0.52 per cent zinc.
"The focus of the 2025 program is to expand upon the discovery made at the Main fault last year," stated Jason Weber, PGeo, president and chief executive officer of Silver North. "The Main zone has shown strong potential in both its high grades and large widths of mineralization. The current program will aim to build upon last year's results and expand beyond the discovery section."
The 10-hole (approximately 2,500 metres) diamond drilling program will target expansion of Keno-style silver lead-zinc mineralization at the newly identified Main fault target, a wide zone with at least three high-grade silver veins identified to date. Holes HLD24-29 and -30 intersected high-grade mineralization such as 1.83 m (true width) of 1,088 g/t silver, 3.90 g/t gold, 1.89 per cent lead and 0.63 per cent zinc as well as wider zones of silver mineralization including 5.8 m (true width) 365 g/t silver, 0.23 g/t gold, 1.80 per cent lead and 1.37 per cent zinc (refer to Silver North's news release dated Nov. 14, 2024). The first hole of the program (HLD25-31) will test the continuity of mineralization approximately 60 m further down dip of the 2024 intersections. The remaining holes, subject to in-field adjustments due to logistical consideration or visual results, will consist of fans of three holes on sections approximately 50 and 100 metres southwest and 50 metres northeast of the discovery section to test the strike and depth continuity of mineralization. Time and budget permitting, one hole may also be completed at the Bighorn target, following up on silver-bearing quartz-siderite-galena veins intersected in the only drill hole at Bighorn.
Silver North has engaged Paycore Diamond Drilling as the drill contractor for the program and Hardline Exploration Services Ltd., to provide staffing, technical and camp support. The program is expected to be completed by the end of October.
