Silver Hammer Advances to Phase One Drill Program at Its 100% Owned Silverton Project in Nevada

Core Viewpoint - Silver Hammer Mining Corp. has initiated a Phase 1 Drill Program at its 100%-owned Silverton Project in Nevada, engaging Alford Drilling, LLC for drilling and Modern Land and Development, LLC for site preparation, with drilling expected to start in November 2025 [1][2]. Group 1: Project Details - The Phase 1 Drill Program will consist of up to 5,000 feet of drilling across eight reverse circulation holes, targeting mineralized areas near historic high-grade silver mine workings [1][3]. - The drill program aims to test for down-dip continuity of high-grade silver mineralization that was previously mined in the 1930s and 1950s [3]. Group 2: Historical Context and Exploration - The Silverton Mine, operational from the 1930s to 1953, produced less than 100,000 tons of silver with historic grades ranging from 300 g/t to 933 g/t [5]. - Previous exploration efforts have identified two mineralized systems: an eastern gold-dominant system with grades from 0.06 g/t to 6.1 g/t gold, and a western silver-dominant system with grades from 0.32 g/t to 692 g/t silver [4]. Group 3: Future Plans - The company is also developing an exploration plan for the recently acquired Fahey Group Silver Project in Idaho and is finalizing permitting for the Eliza Project, which has historical high-grade silver mines [2]. - The company anticipates a busy year ahead, focusing on advancing its silver projects that have not been adequately tested [2][9].
