Core Insights - Dolly Varden Silver Corporation reported a significant gold intercept from a step-out drill hole at the Homestake Silver deposit, with hole HR25-456 intersecting 3.34 g/t Au over 120 meters, including high-grade intervals of 216 g/t Au over 0.52 meters and 166 g/t Au over 1.3 meters [1][3][4] Drill Results - The drill hole HR25-456 is a 45-meter step-out from previous holes, confirming continuity and growth potential outside of current mineral resources [1][5] - Approximately 40% of the 2025 drill program, totaling 55,000 meters, is focused on expanding and infilling high-grade gold mineralization at the Homestake Silver Deposit [1][4] Geological Context - The Homestake Ridge deposits are characterized as structurally controlled, multi-phase epithermal vein stockwork and vein breccia systems hosted in Jurassic Hazelton volcanic rocks, with mineralization consisting of pyrite, galena, and sphalerite, along with visible gold [10][11] - Recent drilling indicates a shift towards a gold-rich system, with a shallow north plunging dilation zone defined by a wide mineralized interval and increased frequency of high-grade gold veins [11] Future Exploration - The ongoing drill program includes five diamond drills targeting high-grade gold mineralization and testing areas outside the current resource [4][5] - Additional results from various exploration targets, including the Wolf Vein silver mineralization extension and Big Bulk copper-gold porphyry system, will be reported as assays are received [4]
