Supreme Critical Metals planning till sampling at Silver Vista silver-copper project, British Columbia
Supreme Critical Metals Inc., [CSE: CRIT; FSE: VR6; OTC Pink: VRCFF] reported that it has engaged SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. (SLR) to execute a till sampling program at the company’s road-accessible Silver Vista Silver-Copper Property near Smithers, northern British Columbia.
The till sampling program will commence in the coming days and is designed to evaluate potential extensions of previously defined silver and copper targets and to support drill planning for the 2026 field season. It is expected to run for approximately two weeks and comprise about 50 samples.
The initial stage will focus on mobilization and detailed program design, including compilation of surface geological and geophysical datasets, integration of historical sampling information, interpretation of lidar and UAV imagery, and finalization of sample station locations, logistics, and a comprehensive Health & Safety Plan. An eight-day field program will obtain till samples from priority target areas, with all material processed in accordance with industry-standard QA/QC protocols. Site access will primarily utilize existing roads, with localized plowing as required to maintain safe and efficient operations.
“This till sampling program is an important step in systematically advancing Silver Vista toward drill-ready status,” stated Glen R. Watson, President and CEO of Supreme Critical Metals. “The timing of our ramping up of work at Silver Vista is opportune as it coincides with a significant uptick in the value of silver and copper and the increased attention on those precious and critical metals.”
The data generated from the till sampling program will be integrated with existing geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets to refine structural interpretations and support the definition of priority drill targets across the broader Silver Vista land package.

The Silver Vista Silver-Copper Property is a 4,839-hectare, road-accessible year-round exploration project located near Smithers. The property hosts stratiform, sediment-hosted, stacked silver-copper horizons with bulk-tonnage potential. Historic drilling has returned broad mineralized zones, including 46 metres averaging 48 g/t silver and 0.62% copper, with higher-grade intervals, and multiple untested targets remain across a district-scale mineralized system.
