BP SILVER COMMENCES DRILLING AT COSUNO SILVER PROJECT AND ANNOUNCES ONE-YEAR EXTENSION ON PROPERTY PAYMENT
BP Silver Corp.'s drilling has commenced at the Cosuno silver project, located in the department of Potosi, Bolivia. In connection with the start of drilling, the company has also entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) dated Nov. 5, 2025, with the vendor of the Cosuno project to extend the timeline for certain final payment obligations under the existing share purchase agreement.
"We are thrilled to commence the long-awaited phase 1 drilling program at Cosuno," stated Tim Shearcroft, chief executive officer of BP Silver. "This milestone has been several years in the making as we worked diligently to build the company to this stage. I am currently on site and will remain here throughout the duration of this very important drill program. We look forward to advancing Cosuno and unlocking the project's significant potential."
Cosuno drill program
The structurally controlled outcropping silver-rich polymetallic targets are defined by the presence of intermediate to advanced argillic alteration and anomalous to highly anomalous geochemical signatures such as are noted at other large Bolivian silver systems. Four targets within the approximately 10.5-square-kilometre hydrothermal system will be tested by the initial diamond drill program. Please refer to the company's Oct. 21, 2025, news release for more information.
