Silver North Resources (TSX-V:SNAG) has begun a 2026 field program at the Veronica Project located in southeast Yukon, Canada, while drilling continues at the Haldane Silver Project.
At Veronica, the company aims to expand an open-ended multi-element soil geochemical anomaly that covers a 1.2km by 1km area.
Prospecting and mapping within the anomaly will be completed to further understand and expand the Lodge and Cooper showings, where mineralised float graded 2,860 grams per tonne silver, and an outcropping northeast-trending fault graded 33.2g/t silver.
Additional work will include investigating several target areas defined by airborne magnetics and versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical anomalies. An initial soil grid and contour soil geochemical lines will be carried out across the southern half of the project, where anomalous soil geochemical results coincide with additional magnetics and VTEM conductivity anomalies.
The program is expected to take three weeks to complete, with 850 soil samples to be collected.
CEO Jason Weber says that during the 2025 program, the company expanded the footprint of the Betty soil geochemical anomaly and identified a potential mineralised source in float and bedrock, while mapping indicated the area hosts silver-lead-zinc mineralisation.
“The 2026 program aims to build on last year’s success, as well as following up on new targets generated from our airborne light detection and ranging, magnetics, and VTEM surveying conducted earlier this season,” Weber says.
Turning rigs at Haldane
Meanwhile over at the Haldane Project, two drills are testing the Main Fault target, stepping out from the known extents of mineralisation identified in 2024 and 2025 drilling.
Since late June, 2,550m of drilling has been completed across 10 holes. One drill has moved to the Bighorn target to follow up on strongly anomalous silver mineralisation intersected in 2019.
Silver North expects to start receiving analytical results from the laboratory in September. The program will continue into October.
The Haldane Project is an under-explored silver property in the Yukon’s historical Keno Hill Silver District. The project covers 8,164 hectares, hosting structurally controlled silver veins.
Meanwhile, the Veronica Project consists of 100 mineral claims and sits west of and adjacent to the company’s Tim Project. The project’s claims cover an area of anomalous silver-lead-zinc soil geochemistry and geology prospective for carbonate replacement deposit-style mineralisation similar to that hosting the silver resources at the Silvertip mine.
