Silver North Commences Diamond Drilling at Flagship Haldane Silver Project, Keno Hill Silver District, Yukon

Silver North Resources Ltd. has initiated an ambitious two-year diamond drilling campaign at its flagship Haldane Silver Project in Yukon's historic Keno Hill Silver District. The program, which commenced with two drill rigs and is fully funded through 2027, represents a significant expansion of exploration activities following encouraging 2025 drilling results. The company's strategic positioning adjacent to Hecla Mining's producing Keno Hill Silver Mine provides substantial geological context and infrastructure advantages.

The drilling program is structured around two parallel objectives designed to maximize resource potential. One rig will focus on expanding the Main Zone, where Silver North has identified mineralization over 100 metres of strike and approximately 300 metres downdip from surface. The standout result driving this expansion effort came from hole HLD25-31, which intersected 13.15 metres averaging 818 g/t silver, 1.39 g/t gold, 2.54% lead and 0.98% zinc from 249.9 metres downhole. This represents the best hole drilled to date on the property and validates the scale and continuity of high-grade silver mineralization at the Main Zone.

The second rig will test both known targets like Bighorn, where only one hole has been drilled previously, and new targets generated from ongoing surface fieldwork and a recently completed SkyTEM airborne geophysical survey. This dual approach allows the company to simultaneously build confidence in existing discoveries while expanding the exploration footprint across the 8,579-hectare property. The Haldane Property hosts numerous occurrences of silver-lead-zinc-bearing quartz siderite veins that resemble the ore-bearing veins currently being mined at Keno Hill.

The 2026 campaign is expected to complete 5,000-7,000 metres of drilling through October, with the broader program targeting 10,000-14,000 metres over two years. Beyond drilling, field crews will conduct ground-truthing of SkyTEM targets and detailed structural and lithological mapping at the Main, West Fault, Middlecoff and other target areas. This comprehensive approach positions Silver North to potentially transform its understanding of the property's resource potential while capitalizing on the favorable market dynamics for silver and the established mining infrastructure in the Keno Hill district.
