SLV · Price

Executive Summary

  • Silver Dollar Resources Inc. announced the discovery of a new mineralized zone, "North Canyon," at its 100%-owned Nora Silver-Gold Project in Durango, Mexico.
  • The company received a drill permit valid for three years, allowing for road repairs and the construction of up to 18 drill pads, with a detailed drilling plan to follow once targets are delineated.
  • Significant channel sampling results were reported from the Candy vein projection, showing high-grade silver equivalent intercepts within a wide oxidation zone.

Key Details

  • New Discovery: A new zone of mineralization named "North Canyon" was discovered 1,500 meters north and along strike from the historic Candy mine, and 950 meters north of previously reported sampling.
  • Assay Results (Candy Vein Projection):
    • Channel sampling returned 162 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) over 12.48 metres.
    • The intercept is within an oxidation zone over 100 metres wide.
    • Mineralization is described as widely disseminated with strong iron oxidation and pervasive manganese, locally concentrated along fractures.
    • Trace concentrations of galena were identified within the oxide zone.
  • Sampling Methodology: Three areas were contiguously channel sampled as if they were trenches. Outcrop is partially exposed along an old road cut and in small pits.
  • Drill Permit Details:
    • Valid for three years.
    • Permits the repair of access roads.
    • Allows for the building of up to 18 drill pads on the property.
    • The company expects to provide a detailed drilling plan when priority targets have been identified and fully delineated.
  • Next Steps: A crew has been mobilized to begin follow-up trenching, sampling, and detailed mapping of the North Canyon zone to expand on and gain a better understanding of the disseminated mineralization.
  • Property Context: The Nora property is located in the Eastern Sierra Madre subprovince, centrally within the silver trend in Durango state. It is subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty.

Notable Quotes

  • "We are encouraged by the discovery of the most widespread mineralization found to date on the Nora property," said Greg Lytle, president of Silver Dollar. "We have mobilized a crew to begin follow-up trenching, sampling and detailed mapping of the North Canyon zone. The objective is to expand on and gain a better understanding of this new zone of disseminated mineralization."
