Silver Hammer releases drill results at Silver Strand project

Key Highlights and Takeaways:

• Six of the nine drillholes returned >100 g/t Ag and/or >1 g/t Au intercepts.
• SS22-017 intersected 2.9 g/t Au over 8.4 m, including 4.4 g/t Au and 74.5 g/t Ag over 1.8 m, demonstrating the potential for significant gold grades at Silver Strand.
• SS22-015 intersected three mineralised zones, including 613 g/t Ag over 0.5 m extending mineralisation to 65 m below historical workings.
• SS22-18 also intersected multiple zones: 212 g/t Ag and 0.67 g/t Au over 1.5 m, and 2.45 g/t Au and 8.9 g/t Ag over 4.4 m. 
• SS22-011 intersected 115 g/t Ag and 2.0 g/t Au over 0.7 m within a broader 5.5 m interval of lower grade Ag mineralisation, and an additional 9.9 g/t Ag and 1.7 g/t Au intercept over 2.1 m further downhole in an area with no previous drilling. 
• 2022 drilling results extend mineralisation further along strike to the northwest, southeast and to depth.

Interim President and CEO, Warwick Smith, stated:

“These new results demonstrate consistent gold and silver values in mineralisation beneath and adjacent to the historical mine workings at Silver Strand.”

“We are particularly encouraged to see elevated gold values in mineralisation extending beyond our previously modelled and interpreted zone that was based on limited historical drilling. We believe we are still very much in the upper part of the structurally controlled Ag-Au system and these new results from a modest (667 m) and cost-effective drilling program coupled with our recently completed geophysics point to the potential for additional lenses of mineralisation that we can pursue in subsequent drilling campaigns.”
