High-Grade Silver-Zinc At Waterpump Creek & Silver Sage

TUCSON, AZ – Alaska Silver Corp. (WAM) reported high-grade silver and zinc results in several holes from its limited 2025 drilling program (<3000m) at the Illinois Creek (IC) Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) project in western Alaska. The 2025 program comprised 2,057 m of drilling in 4 holes at the Waterpump Creek deposit, with WPC-35 which cut 5.9m (core length) grading 38 g/t (1.2 oz/T) Ag and 12.1% Zn, including 3.2m grading 67 g/t (2.1 oz/T) Ag and 16.9% Zn. In addition, 906.5 m of drilling in 9 shallow scout holes was completed at the newly discovered high-grade silver-lead zone, Silver Sage, located approximately 4.8km south of Waterpump Creek. Among these holes, SS25-04 cut 4.4m (core length) reporting 148 g/t (4.8 oz/T) Ag; 0.68% Pb and 0.24% Zn, including 1 m grading 349 g/t (11.2 oz/T) Ag 2.2% Pb and 0.20% Zn.
“With the discovery of the blind, high-grade Silver Sage zone and refinement of the architecture of Waterpump Creek South, we feel we had a highly successful season despite having a very limited budget. We think we are zeroing in on the link to the southern extension of our Waterpump Creek resource and want to emphasize the importance of the blind Silver Sage zone, not just in how it expands the Illinois Creek district footprint, but how it indicates that more such mineralized zones are likely hidden beneath our extensive cover,” said Kit Marrs, Alaska Silver’s President and CEO. “Having completed our US listing and $13.8 million dollar financing after the 2025 field season, we are well poised to put those resources to work through much more aggressive drilling in 2026.”
