Fast Track Permitting And Drilling At Silver Strand Project
VANCOUVER - Silver Hammer Mining Corp. reported on fast-tracked permitting and drilling at its flagship Silver Strand Project in Idaho. The company has noted significant surface results at Silver Strand with up to 255 g/t Ag and 11.79 g/t Au, and completion of mine rehabilitation work to facilitate cost-effective underground drilling. The drill campaign at Silver Strand included 202.76 g/t AgEq over 4.42 m, 209.85 g/t AgEq over 7.93 m (incl 532 g/t AgEq over 0.92 m), and 880 g/t AgEq over 0.92 m. Phase I drilling at Silver Strand (first in ~20 years) confirmed presence of Au-Ag mineralization at shallow depths, with deeper drilling planned in 2022.
2022 Exploration plans for 2022: 1) Commence deeper, cost-effective underground drill campaign to continue testing Silver Strand Mine system to 200 m depth. 2) Commence surface drilling at Silver Strand to test targets identified by sampling and geophysics programs completed in 2021. 3) Complete additional mapping and sampling of outcrop at Silver Strand to enhance geological understanding and define more regional targets along 5.5 km trend.
