Core Insights - Viscount Mining Corp. has reinforced the potential for silver expansion at the Kate Deposit, part of its Silver Cliff Project in Colorado, through an updated interpretation of the 2025 soil-geochemistry program [1][4]. Group 1: Silver Anomaly and Geochemical Program - The 2025 MMI soil-geochemistry program analyzed 549 samples over an area of 1800 FT², revealing a coherent and highly developed silver-in-soil anomaly centered on the Kate Deposit, extending into the Kate North and Kate Northeast target areas [2][4]. - The anomaly's strength and continuity suggest that silver mineralization extends beyond the current NI 43-101 resource footprint, indicating significant potential for further exploration [2][3]. Group 2: Epithermal Silver System Characteristics - Integration of soil geochemistry, structural data, and historical drilling confirms that Kate hosts a strong epithermal silver system along a continuous north-south trend, which remains open to the north and northeast [3][5]. - Historical drilling has shown multiple multi-ounce silver intercepts along structural extensions, indicating that the system is still open for exploration [5][6]. Group 3: Future Exploration Plans - The company plans to integrate the 2025 soil-geochemistry results with previous drilling data and structural mapping into updated 3D geological models for the 2026 drill program, which is expected to include 10 drill holes over a distance of 500M to 750M [12][18]. - Permitting for the 2026 drill program is currently underway, with a focus on step-out drilling at Kate North and Northeast, as well as infill drilling within the existing resource envelope [17][18]. Group 4: Historical Drilling Highlights - Viscount has conducted six drilling campaigns at the Kate Deposit, with 54 drill holes, of which 25 holes reported intervals assaying greater than 110 g/t and 10 holes exceeding 400 g/t [7][9].
