Silver Hammer Initiates Geological Analysis at Its 100% Owned High-Grade Eliza and Silverton Projects in Nevada Before 2026 Drill Season Commences

Executive Summary

• Silver Hammer Mining announced the launch of an advanced second‑level data compilation for its 100% owned Eliza and Silverton projects, integrating extensive geophysical, geochemical, structural and historical datasets.
• The effort, conducted with in3D Geoscience Inc., aims to identify new high‑probability silver, gold and copper targets, refine existing mineralized zones, and prioritize drill locations for the 2026 exploration program.
• The company highlighted historic high‑grade assay results (e.g., >1,500 g/t Ag in 2021 samples) and outlined upcoming permitting milestones and Phase 3 drilling plans.

Key Details

• Scope of Data Integration – Over 250 km line‑kilometre heliborne magnetic/radiometric surveys and >700 multi‑element soil samples for Eliza; >80 km surveys and >100 soil samples for Silverton.
• Partnership – Collaboration with in3D Geoscience Inc. to synthesize legacy data into predictive geological models.
• Exploration Objectives – Identify new high‑probability targets, refine mineralized zone definitions, prioritize drill targets, optimize budgets, and investigate blind targets beneath alluvial cover.
• Historical High‑Grade Results (2021) – Sample EZR007: 1,540 g/t Ag; Sample EZR008: 1,410 g/t Ag; other notable assays listed in Table 1 of the release.
• Recent Sampling (2023) – Select soil samples showing up to 26.95 g/t Ag and elevated base‑metal concentrations (Table 2).
• Geological Context – Eliza hosts historic underground workings (Belmont, Passynak, California mines) along the Eberhart Fault; Silverton features north‑south and east‑west fault structures with potential CRD‑type chimney mineralization.
• Permitting Status – Eliza Plan of Operations Permit submitted; anticipated approval late spring 2026 for Passynak and Belmont areas. No permit required for California Patent drill program.
• Future Drilling Plans – Phase 3 compilation includes drilling the South Fault Block at Eliza; a drill program is being finalized for the California Patent area.
• Qualified Person – Damir Cukor, P.Geo., Technical Director – Projects (NI 43‑101).

Notable Quotes

“The data fusion of the Company's geological database is expected to unlock the potential of the Eliza project… We expect the compilation program to greatly increase our confidence in the drill target selection for upcoming drill programs and exploration efforts.” – Peter A. Ball, President & CEO, Silver Hammer Mining Corp.
