$12 Billion to Stockpile Critical Minerals: Five Companies in the Crosshairs

Executive Summary

• Americore Resources disclosed historic core holes at the Trinity Silver Project with exceptionally high silver grades, suggesting the current 36‑million‑ounce resource may be materially understated.
• The company received a complete drone magnetometer survey (≈350 km) and is reviewing ~300 GB of legacy data to further delineate mineralization.
• Americore is evaluating monetisation options for ~400,000 oz silver oxide and 365,000 oz silver sulphide stockpiles on‑site.

Key Details

• Hole SC-4: 209.5 ft interval grading 145.98 g/t Ag; includes 153 ft at 185.94 g/t Ag.
• Hole SC-5: 246.5 ft interval at 97.52 g/t Ag; higher‑grade core of 70 ft at 128.26 g/t Ag.
• Hole SC-1: 321.5 ft interval at 65.86 g/t Ag; includes 65 ft at 220.69 g/t Ag.
• These intercepts are located within and around the historic open pit, previously omitted from resource models.
• Jeff Poloni, VP of Exploration, noted that drone survey results (≈350 line‑km over a 6‑km strike zone) will improve understanding of both historic resources and alteration halos.
• Americore is reviewing ~300 GB of legacy project data acquired from the property vendor; the five core holes are the first major discoveries from this effort.
• The company controls ≈22,700 acres via direct staking and a strategic option agreement with Primus Resources, covering the 2012 USGS aeromagnetic study area that identified a 6‑km alteration corridor beyond current resource boundaries.
• Stockpile Monetisation: Evaluation of historic surface stockpiles containing ~400,000 oz silver oxide and ~365,000 oz silver sulphide remaining on site from prior mining operations.

“The key takeaway is that these holes provide direct evidence that the current resource model does not fully capture the mineralization present within and adjacent to the Trinity pit.” – Jeff Poloni, VP of Exploration, Americore Resources.
