Maverick Gold and Silver (CSE:MAV) is in the final preparations for a drilling program at the Silver Vista Project in British Columbia, Canada.
Representatives of the company recently met with the geological and drilling contractors, who confirmed their availability, to finalise the timing of the program.
Ahead of starting drilling, Maverick Gold will complete a comprehensive study of the drill core from 2018 and 2021. The study aims to improve data quality and create consistency between historical drill holes from the two drilling programs completed by different previous operators of the project.
The new data will be added to a three-dimensional database that will include all the drilling completed on the project to date.
President Glen Watson says the company is “excited” about Silver Vista’s potential, as sedimentary hosted copper-silver deposits make up 24% of the known global copper resources.
“The exploration target at our Silver Vista property is a sedimentary silver-copper deposit similar to Hecla Mining’s (NYSE:HL) Libby and Rock Creek deposits that are located in Montana,” Watson says.
Silver Vista comprises 12 mineral claims and covers 5,134.5 hectares. The project hosts stratiform, sediment-hosted, stacked horizons of silver-copper mineralisation within sedimentary sequences of the Smithers Formation, highlighting strong bulk tonnage potential across a district-scale mineralised system.
Maverick Gold and Silver is a mineral explorer focused on advancing a portfolio of high-potential gold, silver, and copper properties.
