Silver North Resources (TSX-V:SNAG) has returned 4.41m at 1,669 grams per tonne silver from its Haldane Silver Project in Yukon, Canada, alongside a potential new vein discovery.
Hole HLD26-41 intersected a broader 12.16m interval @ 727g/t silver (Ag) from 241.09m downhole at the Main Fault target, described by the company as one of Haldane’s ‘highest-grade’ intersections. The included 4.41m section also returned 0.34g/t gold (Au), 3.33% lead (Pb), and 2.00% zinc (Zn).
The company estimates true widths of 10.67m for the broader interval and 3.87m for the higher-grade section.
President and CEO Jason Weber says the results build on last year’s drilling success.
“The Main Fault continues to deliver strong silver grades over wide intersections, with HLD26-41 rivalling last year’s hole 31 as the best hole drilled to date at Haldane,” Weber says.
HLD26-41 tested the structure 34m updip and 40m along strike southwest of HLD25-31, which previously returned 13.15m @ 818g/t Ag.
New vein adds exploration target
Hole HLD26-40 returned a separate 0.80m downhole interval @ 1,985g/t Ag, 0.49g/t Au, 5.68% Pb, and 0.15% Zn, approximately 120m uphole of the Main Fault.
Silver North interprets the intersection as a potentially new vein target requiring further investigation. The same hole intersected the Main Fault over 5.44m @ 277g/t Ag, with an estimated true width of 3.95m.
The assays are the first from the company’s largest Haldane drilling campaign, previously reported by Mining.com.au. The program completed 24 holes totalling 6,169m, testing Main Fault extensions and additional targets, including Bighorn.
Results from the remaining 21 holes are expected through the December quarter. Silver North says its 2026 and 2027 drilling campaigns are fully funded.
The 8,579-hectare Haldane property lies approximately 25km west of Keno City, adjoining Hecla Mining’s (NYSE:HL) producing Keno Hill Silver Mine property.
Silver North Resources is a Canadian explorer advancing silver projects in Yukon, including its wholly owned Haldane property.
