Silicon Metals completes assessment survey in B.C.

Mr. Morgan Good reports SILICON METALS CORP. COMPLETES INITIAL ASSESSMENT SURVEYS AT LONGWORTH AND SILICA RIDGE PROJECTS IN BC Silicon Metals Corp. has completed an initial assessment survey of both its 100-per-cent-owned Longworth and Silica Ridge silica projects in British Columbia. At the Silica Ridge property, a total of 27 rock samples were collected along a prominent quartzite ridge that has seen historical work reporting high-grade SiO2 (silicon dioxide) values. At Longworth, crews collected 13 samples from exposed quartzite ridges, where previous exploration has also indicated high silica content. The collected rock samples will be reviewed by the company and subsequently submitted to an ISO 9001-certified laboratory for whole-rock analysis to determine SiO2 purity and assess the potential for high-purity silica development across both properties. The goal for this program and lab analysis is to lay the groundwork for the company's 2026 exploration programs. The assessment program marks the first step in advancing both projects toward delineating potential high-purity silica targets suitable for industrial and emerging technological applications. Morgan Good, Silicon's chief executive officer and director, commented: "This recent completed work at both our 100-per-cent-owned silica focused Longworth and Silica Ridge projects was great to wrap up as we head into November as the results will undoubtedly add more colour and details for our team as we continue aspiring to further understand the potential of the assets. Meanwhile, the focus of the company's current work is directed to its production permitted Sudbury, Ont., based Maple-Birch project, where we can also expect to continue updating our audience over coming weeks with more news."

Silicon Metals is currently focused on exploration and development in Canada, namely British Columbia and Ontario. The company's Maple Birch project, located approximately 30 kilometres southeast of Sudbury, Ont., is a high-purity quartz pegmatite project with a 3,000-tonne-per-year production permit. The company too holds an undivided 100-per-cent right, title and interest in the exploration-stage and now fully five-year-drill-permitted Ptarmigan silica project, located approximately 130 kilometres from Prince George, B.C. The company has also acquired an undivided 100-per-cent right, title and interest in both the exploration-stage Silica Ridge silica project, located approximately 70 kilometres southeast from the town of MacKenzie, B.C., as well as the exploration-stage Longworth silica project, located approximately 85 kilometres east from Prince George, B.C.
