Silver North Resources (TSX-V:SNAG) has reported further ‘high-grade’ intersections from its recently completed drilling program at the Haldane Silver Project in Yukon, Canada.
The latest assays cover five holes targeting the Main Fault and its footwall, with results highlighting the potential for further silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralisation along the structure.
Among the results, hole HLD26-46 intersected 2.7m grading 327 grams per tonne silver (Ag), 0.27g/t gold (Au), 4.05% lead (Pb), and 0.91% zinc (Zn) from a depth of 203.67m.
According to Silver North, the mineralised interval occurred within the broader 22.2m Main Fault structure, with the strongest vein concentrated in the hanging wall portion.
Another hole, HLD26-44, returned 3m grading 120g/t Ag, 0.15g/t Au, 0.32% Pb, and 0.58% Zn from 253.9m, including 0.4m at 722g/t Ag.
Drilling tests Main Fault extensions
The latest drilling was designed to investigate the Main Fault along strike and down-dip, as well as potential parallel mineralised structures in its footwall.
Hole HLD26-43 intersected the Main Fault approximately 50m down-dip, cutting a 22.3m-wide structural interval.
Meanwhile, HLD26-45 tested the footwall beneath the Main Fault, where previous drilling and surface sampling had indicated potential for additional silver-bearing veins.
Holes HLD26-42 and HLD26-44 also tested extensions of the Main Fault, with the former intersecting the structure approximately 120m down-dip and the latter testing it around 50m along strike.
“Step-out drilling to the southwest from the Main Zone discovery section continues to intersect the broad Main Fault structure,” CEO Jason Weber says.
“Strong, wide structures tend to be better hosts for Keno-style silver-lead-zinc mineralisation and that appears to be consistent as we move southwest,” he adds, referring to the deposit style associated with Yukon’s Keno Hill Silver District.
Weber says the company sees further potential along strike in both directions and at depth.
Further assays pending
The Main Fault was identified as an exploration target in 2024, following surface work that outlined two silver-bearing showings.
Subsequent drilling in 2025 expanded the target, including an intersection of 13.15m grading 818g/t Ag, 1.39g/t Au, 2.54% Pb, and 0.98% Zn from 249.9m.
Silver North completed 24 holes totalling 6,169m at Haldane in 2026, targeting further mineralisation along strike and down-dip at the Main Fault.
The latest results represent the second batch of assays from the company’s largest-ever drilling program at the property, with results from a further 16 holes still pending.
Silver North Resources is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on advancing its silver assets in Yukon, including its 100%-owned Haldane Project.
