Silver North Resources (TSX-V:SNAG) has completed its 2026 field program at the Veronica property in Yukon, Canada.
The program, launched last month, focused on expanding an open-ended soil geochemical anomaly that currently measures approximately 1.2km by 1km.
Silver North also conducted prospecting and mapping within the anomaly to better define the Lodge and Cooper showings.
Previous sampling returned up to 2,860 grams per tonne silver from mineralised float, while an outcropping northeast-trending fault returned 33.2g/t silver.
More than 1,100 soil samples
The field program also investigated several target areas defined by airborne magnetic and versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) anomalies.
In total, Silver North collected 1,112 soil geochemical samples, including 60 from the adjacent Tim property, as well as 53 rock samples.
Analytical results are pending and will be incorporated into the Veronica database before being interpreted alongside geophysical data and lithological mapping collected during the 2026 program.
The company expects the combined datasets to help refine its understanding of the mineralised system and identify areas for further exploration.
CRD model
The latest work builds on Silver North’s 2025 program, which identified silver mineralisation in float and outcrop within stratigraphy that the company considers prospective for carbonate replacement deposit (CRD)-style mineralisation.
Silver North is using Coeur Mining‘s (TSX:CDE) Silvertip Project, located approximately 11km southwest of Veronica, as an analogue for its exploration model.
“The 2025 program at Veronica was highly successful on many fronts,” Silver North CEO Jason Weber said in a 13 August news release.
“We expanded the footprint of the Betty soil geochemical anomaly and identified a potential mineralised source in float and bedrock, while mapping indicated that the area has stratigraphy favourable for hosting CRD-style silver-lead-zinc mineralisation.”
Silver North’s primary assets also include its 100%-owned Haldane Silver Project, located next to Hecla Mining’s (NYSE:HL) Keno Hill Mine in Yukon.
