Canadian Silver Hunter Plans 2022 Exploration Programs; Updates 2021 Developments

Canadian Silver Hunter Inc. (TSXV: AGH.H) ("Canadian Silver Hunter" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an outlook for 2022 and review of company operations in 2021.

The Lac LaChance property, Windfall Lake, QC

The Lac Lachance property is located in the Windfall Lake area of Quebec, near the town of Lebel sur Quevillon. The Company recently acquired additional prospective lands in and around their existing northern block holdings, and now control a total of 177 mining claims covering just over 9,900 hectares. The additional land was acquired by staking.

The northern portion of the Lac Lachance claims cover electromagnetic anomalies associated with east-west trending fault zones on the northern limit of the Urban-Barry volcanic belt that hosts numerous gold deposits, including the Osisko Mining Inc., Lac Windfall Gold Deposit.

CSH will return to the Lac Lachance Property in 2022 and conduct several exploration programs on several known showings, including but not limited to; stripping of outcrop and channel sampling, geological field mapping, continuation with the building of the existing exploration model; drilling the high-value targets based on the existing data, field mapping and the 2022 season results.

Recent work by Osisko in the vicinity of the Lachance North claim group has indicated gold mineralization detected by diamond drilling associated with conductive sulphide zones. A 2018 Osisko report stated that drill hole OSK-UB-18-092 (Figure 1), "intersected 0.71 g/t Au over 1 metre. This grade is hosted in a massive sulphide zone within a strongly silicified unit of intermediate composition. Other anomalous gold values were intersected, ranging from 0.11 to 0.48 g/t Au, associated to other massive pyrrhotite-pyrite zones, often located at their contacts". (GM70939, Quebec Assessment Files).

Osisko drill hole OSK-UB-18-092 is located within 900m of Canadian Silver Hunter's claims, which are also located on strike, both east and west of the Osisko drill hole.

In addition, Noranda Exploration drilled three holes on the Canadian Silver Hunter's newly acquired claims in 1992. All three holes intersected sulphide mineralization including one that intersected 0.38% zinc over 3.1 meters. The other two holes were drilled in close proximity to each other and intersected 20% pyrrhotite and trace chalcopyrite over widths of 4.2m and 5.2m respectively. (GM51713 Quebec Assessment Files).

The geological conditions that hosted gold mineralization on the Osisko property also exist on Canadian Silver Hunter's northern claims.

The Keeley-Frontier Mine, Cobalt ON

The Keeley Frontier mine is located in the Silver Centrearea of the South Lorrain township, just south of Cobalt, Ontario, and includes the prolific past producing Keeleyand Frontier silver-cobalt mines. The project also includes the Veinlode Silver Minesproperty as well as other strategic prospective mineral claims in and around the Silver Centre Camp. The entire property is approximately 3,100 hectares in size and is located in the Larder Lake Mining Division, approximately 600 kms north of Toronto, Ontario.

CSH is planning to drill existing silver and cobalt targets to follow up on the successful drill programs of 2017/2018 and 2012 where the Company had previously intersected several rich silver intercepts.

Historically, the Keeley & Frontier mines are the most prolific past producing silver/cobalt mines in Canadian history by average grade per tonne. The two mines combined produced close to 20 million ounces of silver and 3.5 million pounds of cobalt; an average grade of 58 ounces of silver per tonne, and 3.5 pounds cobalt per tonne. ("Technical Report on Keeley Frontier Project", G. A. Harron June 8, 2011).

The Lost Dog property, West Timmins, ON

Results from the November 2020 soil sample program identified five clusters of anomalous values on the property. Anomalous values in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc provided excellent targets for follow up work. Of the 350 samples collected and submitted for analysis, just over one third assayed at or above the minimum detection limit for gold (0.005 ppm). The samples also returned a single sample assay result of 13g/t (ppm) silver, and another sample that returned 416 ppm copper (CSH PR, February 09, 2021).

The Company completed a maiden drill program on the Lost Dog property of just under 1000 metres in November 2021. Although gold and silver were background levels, one sample with 1.54% sulphur showed slightly anomalous values in copper and cobalt (76 and 188 ppm respectively).

Results of the maiden exploratory drill program were helpful in providing additional information on geology, structure and mineralization. The Company will return to re-examine the core and look to pull additional samples for assay, reporting on same as they become available.

What Was the Highest Price for Silver? (Updated 2024)

Like its sister metal gold, silver has been attracting renewed attention as a safe-haven asset.

Although it continues to exhibit its hallmark volatility, many silver investors believe that a bull market is starting up for the precious metal. Experts are optimistic about the future, and as a result, some market watchers are putting forth price forecasts and asking themselves, “What was the highest price for silver?”

The answer reveals how much potential there is for the silver price to rise. Read on for a look at silver's historical moves, and what they could mean for both the price of silver today and the white metal’s price in the future.

How to Invest in Silver (Updated 2024)

How to best invest in silver is a thought on many investors’ minds.

Silver has long been an attractive vehicle not only for storing wealth, but for generating it too. Silver bugs rave about the growth opportunities to be had in a price rally.

However, what goes up must come down, and the silver market is prone to deep dives. This has much to do with the silver’s dual role as both a precious and industrial metal.

7 Biggest Silver ETFs in 2024

Spurred by moves in the gold market as well as increasing demand from industrial sectors, silver saw strong price movements in the first half of 2024, breaching US$30 per ounce for the first time in more than a decade.

While silver has often been seen as a more approachable precious metal owing to its lower per ounce price, its performance has lagged gains seen in the gold price over the past few years. However, silver did join gold in its rally earlier this year, climbing above US$32 in May, and pulled above US$30 again in July.

Like gold, investors can gain exposure to silver in several ways that each offer their own pros and cons, along with differing costs and risks. For example, investors can purchase physical silver bars or coins, or invest in silver futures.

Pan American Silver Reports Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources as at June 30, 2024

  • Significant increase in estimated mineral resources for the La Colorada Skarn project
  • Mineral reserve replacement and 1.2 million ounce increase in gold inferred mineral resources at Jacobina demonstrates exploration potential

Pan American Silver Corp. (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) ("Pan American" or the "Company") reports its estimated mineral reserves and mineral resources as at June 30, 2024. Proven and probable mineral reserves are estimated to contain approximately 468.0 million ounces of silver and 6.9 million ounces of gold. Measured and indicated ("M&I") mineral resources (excluding proven and probable ("P&P") reserves) are estimated to total approximately 1,148.0 million ounces of silver and 15.5 million ounces of gold. Inferred mineral resources are estimated to total approximately 366.0 million ounces of silver and 9.4 million ounces of gold. The updated mineral reserves and mineral resources estimates are reported net of the sales of the MARA, Agua de la Falda and Morococha properties, as announced in the Company's news release dated July 31, 2023. The divestment of these non-core, non-producing assets is largely responsible for a decrease in mineral reserves and mineral resources compared to 2023.

Andean Silver (ASX:ASL) published an updated resource estimate for its Chile-based Cerro Bayo silver-gold project on Tuesday (September 10), saying silver equivalent ounces have increased by 80 percent.

The resource now stands at 8.3 million tonnes at 342 grams per tonne silver equivalent, which equates to 91 million silver equivalent ounces. In addition to the 80 percent boost in silver equivalent ounces, that's a 64 percent increase in tonnes compared to the previous estimate, which was published in March of this year.

“The updated Resource establishes Cerro Bayo as an outstanding silver asset with genuine scale and high grades,” said CEO Tim Laneyrie, noting that Andean has nearly quadrupled the asset's resource since acquiring it.
