Ron F. Nichols, CEO and president of Dolly Varden, commented:

We are very pleased to see such thick and high-grade silver mineralization from our first batch of assays. The results provide us with a clearer picture of the local structure and where thicker and higher grade silver mineralization should trend within the deposit. I eagerly anticipate the assay results from the next 10 holes expected over the coming weeks.
