Silver North extends Main Fault silver mineralization for 50 metres at Haldane Silver Property, Keno District, Yukon
Silver North Resources Ltd. [TSXV: SNAG, OTCQB: TARSF] has received results from an additional two holes completed during the 2025 exploration program at its flagship Haldane Silver Property in the historic Keno Hill Silver District, Yukon Territory.
Holes HLD25-34 and 35 were drilled to intersect Main Fault mineralization approximately 50 m to the southwest of the discovery section (HLD24-29 and -30, HLD 25- 31, successfully extending the Main Fault in this direction. The Main Fault has been intersected in drilling over 100 metres in strike dimension and approximately 150 metres downdip (over 300 metres downdip from surface mineralization.
Results include 1.25 metres averaging 1,261 g/t silver, 0.74 g/t gold, 0.35% lead and 0.41% zinc starting at 179.5 metres, within a larger 14.4-metre intersection of 231 g/t silver, 0.24 g/t gold, 0.54% lead and 0.39% zinc starting at 170.6 metres in HLD25-35 . To date, five of eight holes (totaling 1,759.5 metres) completed in the 2025 program have now been reported.
The road-accessible 8,579-hectare Haldane property is located 25 km west of Keno City, YT, adjacent to Hecla Mining’s producing Keno Hill Silver Mine property, and hosts numerous occurrences of silver-lead-zinc-bearing quartz siderite veins as seen elsewhere in the district.
“The Main Fault continues to produce significant silver intersections at Haldane.” stated Jason Weber, P.Geo., President and CEO of Silver North. “The results of these holes mirror the initial holes on the 2024 discovery section with grades and widths becoming stronger as we tested downdip, as seen with our exceptional results in our first hole of this program. I am looking forward to receiving the final set of assays from our 2025 program and embarking on the interrogation of all of our data with our technical team to determine controls and orientations of potential wider and higher grade plunge directions to silver bearing mineralization for an aggressive 2026 drill program at Haldane.”
HLD25-34 returned 13.60 metres (from 157.50 m to 171.10 m) averaging 146 g/t silver, 0.15 g/t gold, 2.34% lead and 1.24% zinc over the entire structural zone that defines the Main Fault in this location. The upper two thirds of the intersection is intensely oxidized siderite vein and vein breccia material while the remaining third consists of siderite vein and stockwork mineralization with galena and sphalerite. The 13.60-metre wide intersection includes a higher grade interval from 159.0 metres to 168.20 metres (9.20 m) of 196 g/t silver, 0.19 g/t gold, 3.22% lead and 0.76% zinc that includes a high-grade intersection from 165.80 m to 167.00 m (1.20 m) averaging 467 g/t silver, 0.21 g/t gold, 12.07 % lead and 1.34 % zinc.
Hole HLD25-35 drilled on the same section and approximately 50 metres downdip from HLD25-34 also intersected the Main Fault from 170.60 m – 198.50 m where the entire structural zone returned 27.90 metres averaging 153 g/t silver, 0.18 g/t gold, 0.47% lead and 0.75% zinc. In HLD25-35, the Main Fault splits into two splays defined by an upper moderately oxidized siderite vein and vein breccia zone that is 14.40 metres wide from 170.60 m to 185.00 m that returned 231 g/t silver, 0.24 g/t gold, 0.54 % lead and 0.39 % zinc including two high-grade, silver-bearing zones, including 1.25 metres from 179.50 m to 180.75 m averaging 1,261 g/t silver, 0.74 g/t gold, 0.35% lead and 0.41 % zinc. The low concentration of lead in this intersection suggests the presence of significant silver-bearing sulphosalts that were not observable in the partially oxidized material.
The lower splay consists of unoxidized galena and sphalerite bearing siderite vein breccia material that is 6.35 metres wide from 189.80 m to 196.15 m and returned 55 g/t silver, 0.08 g/t gold, 0.27% lead and 0.80% zinc. A higher grade silver-bearing section 0.80 metres wide from 191.40 m to 192.20 m averages 642 g/t silver, 0.30 g/t gold, 3.38% lead and 4.57% zinc. The two splays of the Main fault are separated by 4.80 metres of weakly mineralized quartzite and graphitic phyllite fault gouge material.
True widths are unknown. The company is now waiting for the analytical results from two remaining holes completed in the 2025 program.
Silver North’s primary assets are its 100%-owned Haldane Silver Project (next to Hecla Mining’s Keno Hill Mine project), the Tim Silver Project (under option to Coeur Mining, Inc. in the Silvertip/Midway District, BC and Yukon) and the GDR project also in the Silvertip/Midway district.
