Silver North Resources samples 76.8% Pb at Veronica

Executive Summary

• Silver North Resources Ltd. released final analytical results from its 2025 exploration program at the Veronica Property (GDR Project) in southern Yukon, confirming high-grade silver and lead mineralization at the Betty Target.
• Significant assay results include a massive galena cobble returning 76.8% lead and 2,860 g/t silver, and another sample returning 9.6% lead and 213 g/t silver, validating the potential for high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization similar to the nearby Silvertip mine.
• The Betty target is defined by coincident geochemical anomalies for silver, lead, and zinc and remains open to the east and potentially south, with exploration plans for 2026 underway.

Key Details

• Lodge Showing (Betty Target) - Massive Galena Float:
  • Sample K665269: 15 cm wide massive sulphide cobble returned 2,860 g/t Ag, 0.412 g/t Au, 76.8% Pb, 0.13% Cu, 0.18% Zn, and 2,250 ppm antimony.
  • Sample K665270: Cobble-sized sample from a hand trench in the same area returned 213 g/t Ag, 9.6% Pb, and 367 ppm Sb.
• Cooper Showing:
  • One silver-bearing sample from outcrop returned 33.17 g/t Ag and 1.36% Pb.
• Geochemical Anomalies at Betty Target:
  • Silver: 1 ppm to 31.1 ppm.
  • Lead: 50 ppm to 8,850 ppm.
  • Zinc: 200 ppm to 3,830 ppm.
  • The anomaly remains open to the east and potentially to the south.
• Analytical Methods:
  • Samples transported to ALS Minerals (Whitehorse) for preparation and analysis in North Vancouver.
  • Rock/soil samples analyzed via four-acid digestion with ICP-MS finish (ME-MS61).
  • Gold analyzed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au-ICP21).
  • Overlimit silver analyzed via ore-grade four-acid digestion (ME-OG62) and fire assay/gravimetric finish (Ag-GRA21).
  • Overlimit lead analysis currently in progress using ore-grade four-acid digestion (ME-OG62).
• Project Context:
  • Veronica claims are part of the GDR project, adjacent to the Tim property (optioned to Coeur Mining).
  • Located in the Silvertip area of southern Yukon, targeting mineralization similar to the Silvertip mine (~12 km southwest).
  • Previous soil geochemical surveys included ~453 samples analyzed for gold and 50 additional elements.

Notable Quotes

• "Lead mineralization, in the form of the mineral galena, is an important component of CRD (carbonate replacement deposit) style mineralization in the Silvertip district," stated Jason Weber, PGeo, president and chief executive officer of Silver North. "While only float, they do show the potential for high-grade silver and lead mineralization at the Betty target, which is a great start as we begin to make exploration plans for Veronica in 2026."
