Core Silver Summarizes High-Grade Silver & Copper Portfolio & Commences Drilling - Seite 2
SLM22-001 (Jackie Target): 21.65 m of 23 g/t Ag, 1.0% Zn, 1.2% Pb, 0.08% Cu, including 1.25 m of 215 g/t Ag, 9.9% Zn, 8.9% Pb from surface.
SLM23-042 (Jackie Target): 4.55 m of 116 g/t Ag, 11.7% Pb+Zn, 0.41% Cu, including 1.10 m of 215 g/t Ag, 22.1% Pb+Zn.
SLM23-038 (Jackie Target): 2.20 m of carbonate replacement mineralization grading 187 g/t Ag, 23.9% Pb+Zn, 0.53% Cu from 17.05 m.
Historic surface sampling returned up to 4,870 g/t Ag in galena-bearing quartz veins.
The Company is fully funded for its 2025 program and will provide regular updates as drilling progresses.
Core Silver has defined two main Project areas at the Blue Property that contain high-grade and silver-rich massive sulphide skarn, carbonate replacement, and sheeted base and precious metal vein occurrences associated with copper-silver-molybdenum-bearing porphyries. The combined geologic histories of these areas cover over 125 Ma of magmatic-hydrothermal activity associated with prospective Jurassic (ca. 186 Ma), Cretaceous (ca. 106 Ma) and Eocene (ca. 58 Ma) aged intrusions.
THE LAVERDIERE COPPER PROJECT
In the late 1800's, the Laverdiere brother's discovered high-grade magnetite and copper skarn along the western flank of the Llewellyn Fault Zone (LFZ; See Slideshow for Figure 1).
Historical adits driven into the massive and high-grade copper skarn at the Main Zone in the early 1900s returned up to 1.20% Cu over 27m1, whereas
historic drill assays report 175m of 0.24% Cu obtained 100m north of the French Adit in 19742.
2022 diamond drilling conducted by Core Silver confirmed high-grade copper skarn and porphyry mineralization for over 1 km following the north-south trend of the Llewellyn Fault along the eastern edge of the Laverdiere porphyry. The top drill intercepts obtained from the Main Zone in 2022 include (See Slideshow for Figure 1):
-
LAV22-006 (North Adit) - 107.38m of 0.31% CuEq* (0.11% Cu, 0.023% Mo, 0.9g/t Ag, 0.02g/t Au) from 144.62m.
-
LAV22-001 (French Adit) - 267.05m of 0.21% CuEq* (0.17% Cu, 1g/t Ag, 0.04g/t Au) from surface, including 48.54m of 1.02% CuEq* (0.90% Cu, 6g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au) from 31.46m depth.
-
LAV22-002 (French Adit) - 223m of 0.20% CuEq* (0.11% Cu, 0.006% Mo, 2g/t Ag, 0.05g/t Au) from 15m depth, including 54m of 0.31% CuEq* (0.19% Cu, 0.002% Mo, 3g/t Ag, 0.12g/t Au) from 173m depth, and 24.42m of 0.50% CuEq* (0.32% Cu, 0.005% Mo, 4g/t Ag, 0.12g/t Au) from 207.23m depth.
