Supreme Critical expands Silver Vista by staking

CRIT · Price

Executive Summary

  • Supreme Critical Metals Inc. has significantly expanded its Silver Vista silver-copper project in British Columbia, increasing the total land package by 52% (2,197 hectares) to a total of 6,444 hectares (64.4 square kilometres).
  • The expansion includes new claims staked to cover strategic targets with geochemical signatures similar to the known MR zone mineralization, specifically the Silver Vista 2 and Far West targets.
  • The company plans to commence a summer exploration program on the newly staked targets, leveraging improved logistics due to recent logging activities that have brought roads within three kilometres of key targets.

Key Details

  • Property Expansion: The Silver Vista project area increased by 2,197 hectares, representing a 52% increase, bringing the total size to 6,444 hectares (64.4 square kilometres).
  • Option Interest: The company retains an option to earn a 100% interest in the Silver Vista property.
  • Strategic Rationale: New claims were staked based on a review of an extensive regional database comprising over 8,000 soil samples, 700 stream sediment samples, and an airborne magnetic geophysical survey. The goal is to cover favorable target areas with geochemical signatures similar to the MR zone silver-copper mineralization hosted in fossiliferous sandstones of the Smithers formation.
  • Silver Vista 2 Target: Identified as a priority based on historic anomalous multielement signatures (silver-copper-lead-zinc-arsenic plus/minus gold). Peak silver values of 2.8 ppm were reported, with one gold-in-soil sample returning 23.4 ppb. The target is interpreted to be underlain by Smithers formation sediments.
  • Far West Target: Identified via historic soil sampling showing anomalous copper and silver values, also interpreted as underlain by Smithers formation sediments.
  • Logistics Improvement: Since 2012, extensive logging has occurred on the newly acquired claims. Logging roads are now within three kilometres of the Silver Vista 2 target and crosscut/transverse the Far West target, significantly improving access compared to previous helicopter-only requirements.
  • North Flank: Additional claims were acquired along the northern boundary, north of the existing MR zone.
  • Historical Drilling Context: The release references historic (2021) drilling from prior operators showing broad mineralized zones, including 46 metres averaging 48 g/t Ag and 0.62% Cu. Supreme Critical notes these results are not verified by its qualified person and are not treated as current resources/reserves, but are referenced for illustrative purposes.
  • Summer Program: A summer exploration program is in progress for the newly staked targets, to commence when weather permits.

Notable Quotes

  • "Significantly expanding our property over geological targets similar to the MR zone silver-copper mineralization strengthens our focus for discovery of additional stratiform, sediment-hosted, stacked silver-copper horizons with bulk-tonnage potential," stated Glen Watson, chief executive officer of Supreme Critical.
  • "Plans for a summer program on the newly staked targets is in progress, and will commence when weather allows. The combination of silver and copper as principal metals is favourable given the record current prices for both silver and copper."
