PRNC · Price

Executive Summary

  • Prince Silver Corp. has commenced a fully funded, 6,500-metre reverse circulation (RC) drill program at its Prince Silver project in Nevada, aiming to expand high-grade zones, validate historical data, and define the broader mineralized system.
  • The program is financed by two recent financings totaling over $5.25 million and involves 31 planned holes to advance the project toward a maiden NI 43-101 resource estimate.
  • The release highlights significant historical drilling results, including high-grade intercepts from 2014 and prospective assays from the Pioche shale unit, alongside an exploration target based on JORC standards.

Key Details

  • Drill Program Scope:
    • Total planned drilling: 6,500 metres across 31 reverse circulation (RC) holes.
    • Objective: Validate historical unpublished resource estimates, complete infill and stepout drilling, and test potential extensions along strike and to depth.
    • Contractor: O'Keefe Drilling Company (Butte, Mont.).
    • Timeline: Initial results to be published as available; program continues into winter.
  • Financing:
    • The program is fully financed following the closing of two recent financings.

Notable Quotes

  • Ralph Shearing, President and Director: "We're excited to launch this fully funded drill program at the Prince silver project, which we believe holds significant untapped potential. Our work will focus on expanding known high-grade zones, testing new areas and validating historical drilling. With approximately 6,500 metres of drilling planned, and mineralization open in all directions, this program marks a key step in defining the broader mineralized system and positioning Prince Silver as a standout silver explorer in Nevada."
