Honey Badger Silver Completes 2026 Field Program Targeting High-Grade Silver-Polymetallic Mineralization at Yava Project, Nunavut

Honey Badger completes its Yava field program and awaits laboratory results to guide future drill targets.

Executive Summary

Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TUF) has completed its first-ever field exploration program at its 100%-owned Yava Project in Nunavut. The 2026 campaign focused on geological mapping, systematic sampling, and target generation for future drilling. Samples have been sent to an accredited laboratory in Yellowknife for geochemical analysis.

Historical resource context for the project includes 1.3 Mt grading 106.8 g/t Ag, 1.03% Cu, 4.96% Zn, 1.60% Pb, and 0.30 g/t Au. The Main Zone comprises a shallow massive sulphide lens, 10-35m thick with a ~250m strike, which was tested historically to ~80m depth; it remains open at depth and along strike. Additionally, a large footwall alteration and stringer sulphide zone has been traced for ~2.6 km.

Several untested regional targets were identified, including the North Zone, M-3, Caribou Zone, and HLEM-C/D. Next steps involve integrating lab results with historical data to rank targets for follow-up exploration and potential drilling. B2 Gold provided logistical support via their nearby Goose Mine and airstrip.

Material Impact

Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TUF) released an expected, incremental exploration update confirming the completion of a target-generation phase. The announcement does not include new drill results, resource estimates, or economic studies.

The market has already priced in the company's intent to advance Yava. The completion of the field program represents a standard procedural step toward future drilling and does not constitute a material change to the company's near-term catalysts.

The primary value driver remains the PC Silver Mine's updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment, which is expected in September 2026. The news aligns with previous management guidance and provides no immediate financial or operational upside.

Company Overview

Honey Badger Silver Inc. is a Canadian silver explorer and developer focused on high-grade polymetallic projects in Tier-1 jurisdictions. The company’s flagship asset is the PC Silver Mine (Prairie Creek) in the Northwest Territories, a fully permitted brownfield project that was halted at approximately 95% completion in the 1980s. The site features 5 km of existing underground development, a 1,000 tpd mill, and a $25M government grant for road access.

The company’s portfolio also includes the Nanisivik project in Nunavut, the Plata project in Yukon, the Yava project in Nunavut, and the Sunrise Lake, Clear Lake, Groundhog, and HY projects. Honey Badger Silver Inc. maintains a strategic focus on silver, zinc, lead, and critical minerals, including germanium, tungsten, indium, and antimony.
