Mr. Alex Wallis, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration, acknowledged: “Holes 104 and 105 confirmed infilled broad intervals of silver-gold enriched VMS type mineralization within the western portion of the Dry Creek useful resource, supporting the 3D modelling of historic knowledge. Mineralization reveals each stratigraphic and structural management on this zone. This new knowledge from the 2024 drilling exploration marketing campaign will help in future infill drilling of high-grade zones.”
Dry Creek Infill-Affirmation Drilling
Two drill holes have been accomplished to substantiate the broad, high-grade mineralization encountered by historic holes DC98-40, DC98-60, and DC99-64, which intercepted as much as 40 m of semi-massive to huge sulphide within the Fosters lens of the Dry Creek deposit. The Dry Creek mineralization consists of a number of horizons of semi-massive to huge sulphides inside the metavolcanics and metasediments of the Totatlanika Schist which will be traced for 4,500 m and dips steeply to the north. The Fosters and Discovery lenses of VMS mineralization make up the central 1,400 m of the Dry Creek North Horizon occurring as huge to semi-massive silver-zinc-lead-gold-copper sulphides. The lenses pinch and swell alongside strike and down-dip, as is typical of VMS deposits.

Mr. Gary R. Thompson, P.Geo., CEO of Silver47 Exploration Corp., commented, “We’re happy with the outcomes from this summer time’s drill program at West Tundra Flats and Dry Creek, which additional verify the high-grade polymetallic mineralization and vital potential of the Pink Mountain Undertaking. These outcomes strengthen our exploration technique and improve our confidence within the scale of the useful resource. Shifting ahead, our focus will likely be on integrating the brand new knowledge into an up to date geological mannequin for planning additional drilling to increase the sources alongside strike and down-dip. Secondary aims for the following program will likely be drill testing for brand spanking new discoveries just like the Galleon and Horseshoe showings, in addition to testing the infill potential of the two.7 km hole between the 2 useful resource areas.”
Technical Dialogue on Gap DC24-104
Gap DC24-104 was deliberate to substantiate the broad, near-surface sulphide mineralization encountered in historic gap DC98-40 within the western space of the Dry Creek deposit. The opening passes by way of regionally metamorphosed metasediments and metavolcanics. The highest of the opening had no restoration to 14.33 m and fragmented restoration till 32.61 m with proof of serious post-mineralization faulting by way of your entire gap. Mineralization was intercepted as semi-massive sulphides in metarhyolite from 15.9 m – 19.0 m and as huge sulphides from 19.0 m – 21.30 m. The 15.2 m interval from 14.3 m to 29.5 m returned a grade of 545.5 g/t AgEq, with a 6.0 m high-grade zone from 15.9 m grading 1,248.4 g/t AgEq. The semi-massive sulphides have growing sulphide bands with depth into the large sulphide mineralization with sparse 1 centimetre intervals of rhyolite. The sulphides are comprised of aphanitic to effective pyrite, sphalerite, galena and minor chalcopyrite. The opening is principally composed of metarhyolite with some intervals of gray aphanitic phyllite with lesser graphitic intercalations and beds, ending in tuffaceous phyllite. The complete gap is closely foliated with frequent intervals of fault gouge and rubbly fragments.
Technical Dialogue on Gap DC24-105
Gap DC24-105 was drilled from the identical pad as DC24-104, with a steeper dip to substantiate continuity of high-grade mineralization between holes DC98-40 and DC98-60. Gap 105 handed by way of the identical lithologic models as gap 104, in addition to comparable post-mineralization faulting. The opening consists of blended intervals metarhyolite and gray aphanitic phyllite with lesser graphitic intercalations and beds. The complete gap is closely foliated. Mineralization was intercepted after a metarhyolite unit as three intervals of pyrite-sphalerite-galena and minor chalcopyrite huge sulphide interspaced with felsic phyllite: 20.3 m – 21.1 m, 22.3 m – 27.8 m, and 29.1 m – 32.6 m. These high-grade lenses are encapsulated by a 22.3 m interval returning a grade of 601 g/t AgEq, together with 2.66 m of 599.4 g/t silver, 2.37 g/t gold, 14.5% zinc, 6.9% lead, and 0.64% copper.

Galleon Silver Goal
The Galleon Goal is a high-priority silver goal, with historic samples returning as much as 1,265 g/t silver, 2.1 g/t gold, and 5% mixed zinc and lead. The semi-massive sulphide is hosted in a metarhyolite of the Mystic Creek Member, on the north limb of the Bonnifield East Syncline, the same depositional setting to the Dry Creek mineralization. Historic work consists of, mapping, trenching, 3.9 km of IP survey, and a number of other brief drill holes accomplished in 1981 with a Winky drill. The 1981 drilling did not intercept mineralization, however often had zero core restoration for a lot of intervals.
In 2024, Silver47 collected 101 soil samples for evaluation by XRF within the discipline, and eight rock seize samples. The soil samples recognized a number of areas of anomalous zinc and lead within the soil/talus fines across the Galleon Goal and three of the rock samples returned vital polymetallic grades. The placement of historic high-grade samples was inaccessible on account of vital degradation of the ditch workings. Nonetheless, a sub-crop rock pattern taken from a historic trench/drill pad returned 132 g/t silver, 1.26 g/t gold, and 1.9% mixed zinc and lead. Three samples additionally returned anomalous values for crucial minerals antimony and rubidium.
Horseshoe SEDEX Goal
The Horseshoe Goal was recognized in 2020 with rock and soil sampling masking roughly 200 m of gossanous publicity. Situated inside the Keevy Peak Formation, the host rocks exhibit extra clastic composition than the Totatlanika Schist, suggesting potential for sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) mineralization. Historic samples have returned as much as 37.9 g/t silver, 3.81 g/t gold, and 6.8% mixed zinc and lead.
In 2024, Silver47 collected 94 soil samples for XRF evaluation, and 6 rock seize samples. Elevated zinc and lead concentrations have been detected all through the soil grid, with larger values coinciding with the gossan zone. Three rock samples returned values sustaining Horseshoe as a high-priority exploration goal, with the perfect pattern grading 36.6 g/t silver, 0.78 g/t gold, 4.4 mixed zinc and lead, and 147.5 ppm antimony. Element outcrop structural mapping, with tighter-spaced soil-rock geochemistry is deliberate to additional develop Horseshoe right into a drill-ready goal.
Kiwi Goal Drilling and Geochemical Sampling
The Kiwi Goal was recognized by the earlier operators from floor boulders of high-grade copper-silver rock samples, together with a excessive of 16.2% copper and 316 g/t silver. Two historic drill holes KW21-01 and KW21-02 have been drilled to check the potential supply of this mineralization. Neither historic gap intercepted sulphide mineralization corresponding to the floor samples. A 2021 mounted loop electromagnetic survey was accomplished over the goal, with the outcomes exhibiting a robust conductive anomaly east of holes KW21-01 and KW21-02. Gap KW24-03 was drilled to a depth of 283 m to check this conductive function. Whereas slim intervals of sulphide mineralization together with chalcopyrite have been encountered within the gap, no vital outcomes have been returned.
Previous to the 2024 drilling, Silver47’s geologists prospected down the western slope of the Kiwi zone to substantiate the historic rock samples. Of the seven rock samples collected, three returned high-grade copper, silver, and gold values, together with 2 samples over 10% copper and silver values of 165 g/t and 218 g/t. Intensive follow-up sampling and structural mapping is required to information future drilling on the Kiwi Goal. Nonetheless, given the excessive variety of targets on the Pink Mountain Undertaking and the lackluster drill outcomes right here, the Kiwi Goal has been decreased to a decrease precedence rating.
