Grafton Resources Announces LOI to Acquire Silver One Project in Chile

Core Viewpoint - Grafton Resources has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire a 100% interest in the Silver One project in Chile, which is seen as a high-grade silver-copper target with significant development potential [1][2]. Project Overview - The Silver One project is located in the historic Au-Ag-Cu mining Pedernal district of central Chile, accessible via established roads [4]. - The project area hosts nearly 90 ore bodies, primarily polymetallic veins, and is characterized by epithermal low sulfidation vein systems [5]. - Historical mining indicates the presence of silver-copper-bearing sulphide vein systems, with significant grades reported in waste material [6][7]. Geological Interpretation - The project targets mineralized veins hosted within grey volcanic breccias, with a favorable horizon for Ag-Cu sulphide deposition [8]. - Historic waste dump material averages 296 g/t Ag and 2.6% Cu, indicating high potential for valuable mineralization [10]. Acquisition Terms - The proposed acquisition involves a total consideration of C$820,000, including a cash payment of C$100,000 and the issuance of 800,000 common shares valued at C$720,000 [11]. - The shares will be subject to voluntary escrow provisions over 36 months [11]. Next Steps - The company plans to drill the Silver One project in the second half of 2026 and is building a local exploration team [3]. - Future steps include securing access to historic stopes, conducting targeted geophysical surveys, and focused drilling to test mineralization continuity [14]. Company Background - Grafton Resources is a Canadian exploration company focused on mineral asset discovery and development in the Americas, emphasizing responsible exploration and community partnerships [19].
