Discovery Energy Metals (CSE:DEMC) has identified targets for follow-up at its Crystal Lake Project in British Columbia, Canada, after an outcrop sample returned 197 grams per tonne silver (Ag).
The result comes from the 2026 field program at the project, about 160km southwest of Prince George.
Sample 26ED025 also returned 0.26% copper (Cu) from a strongly altered, brecciated quartz vein with malachite-azurite at the historically identified Raven showing in the project’s northeast.
The company has not tested Raven by soil sampling, trenching, or drilling, and treats it as a priority target.
Soil sampling outlined copper anomalies in three areas, labelled zones A, B and C. Nine samples returned more than 100 parts per million (ppm) Cu, peaking at 348ppm.
Zones A and B also show coincident silver anomalies of up to 1.40ppm. The zones sit about 1.6km south of Raven and have not been drilled.
Next steps include additional soil infill sampling, prospecting, and trenching.
The program collected 280 soil samples over two grids on the eastern side of Crystal Lake, at 25m intervals along lines spaced 50m apart, alongside 25 rock samples.
Crystal Lake covers eight contiguous claims across 5,283 hectares.
Discovery Energy Metals also holds claims in Québec and is advancing the ESN Project in Nevada, US, and the Koster Dam Project in central British Columbia.
The company has 82,076,699 shares on issue and a market capitalisation of about C$9.03 million ($9.15 million) based on a C$0.11 close on 19 October.
