6,000-Meter Drill Program For Illinois Creek

TUCSON, AZ – Alaska Silver Corp. (WAM) reported on the 2026 exploration program – including a minimum of 6000 m of diamond drilling- for its 32,737-hectare (80,895 acre), 100%-owned Illinois Creek Silver-Gold-Lead-Zinc and Gallium project located in western Alaska. The Company will utilize two company-owned drill rigs, with simultaneous surface exploration and trenching.
The 2026 drilling program will focus on multiple priority targets at the high-grade Waterpump Creek deposit and the newly discovered Silver Sage Zone, along with scout drilling of other high priority targets. Building on 2025’s successful discovery of the blind Silver Sage Zone, systematic follow up of legacy and newly generated geochemical and geophysical anomalies will be undertaken in high-potential areas identified within the overall Illinois Creek Project area.
“With two drills turning and geologist’s boots on the ground throughout the season, this will be our most aggressive summer program in our history,” said Kit Marrs, President and CEO. “Prime drilling objectives are expanding the Waterpump Creek resource and finding the source of Silver Sage while we trench and do initial drilling of newly recognized targets throughout the Illinois Creek property.”
