Overview

Silver Hammer Mining (CSE:HAMR; OTCQB:HAMRF; FWB:7BW0) is a mineral exploration company with a pure-play silver portfolio focusing on assets within the western United States. The company’s assets are located in Idaho and Nevada, both industry-recognized tier-1 jurisdictions. Silver Hammer’s flagship asset, Silver Strand, is a brownfields silver project in an established silver mining district that is known for producing more than 1.2 billion ounces of silver.

Analysts expect global demand for silver to rise by 16 percent in 2023, reaching 1.21 billion ounces. Existing industries are creating much of this growing demand, but the rise of electric vehicles and other clean technologies has escalated this further, as silver is a necessary component for emerging renewable tech, including solar panels and EVs.

Silver

Silver Hammer Mining’s flagship Silver Strand is a brownfield project located in Idaho within one of the world’s most prolific silver districts. Idaho consistently ranks among the top jurisdictions in Fraser Institute’s investment attractiveness index. Silver Strand comprises 78 contiguous claims along a 5.8-kilometer strike near Coeur D’Alene, Idaho.

The company’s other two projects are in Nevada, another tier-1 jurisdiction frequently in the top ten of Fraser Institute's Survey of Mining Companies for both the policy perception and investment attractiveness indexes. The Eliza silver project comprises 98 claims covering 5.5 square kilometers within the Hamilton district of Nevada, an area from which over 40 million ounces of silver was produced in the late 1800s. The Silverton project, consisting of 31 claims, has received little to no modern-day exploration, presenting discovery potential as exploration commences.

An expert leadership team with a proven track record in precious metals exploration, development, production, M&A and capital markets leads Silver Hammer toward fully realizing the potential of its portfolio.

Peter Ball, president and CEO, has led and assisted in raising more than US$250 million of capital in the mineral resources sector. Donald Birak, board advisor, is the former senior vice-president of exploration for Coeur Mining from 2004 to 2013 and was responsible for global greenfields and brownfields exploration. The rest of the management team brings additional experience and expertise to lead the company toward improving shareholder value.

Key Projects

Silver Strand Silver Project

Silver Strand Silver Project

Silver Strand comprises 78 contiguous claims along a 5.8-kilometer strike in Idaho near Coeur D’Alene. The flagship asset is a brownfield project in an established silver mining district known for producing more than 1.2 billion ounces of silver.

Project Highlights:

  • Drilling Confirms High-grade Silver-Gold System: Drilling from 2021 and 2022 programs, plus previously unreported data from a 2002 drill program, confirmed that mineralization extends beneath the existing mine workings
    • 9.76 g/t gold and 24.5 g/t silver over 2.2 meters (1,005 g/t silver equivalent)
    • 10.2 g/t gold and 199.06 g/t silver over 3.3 meters (1,219 g/t silver equivalent)
    • 10.9 g/t gold and 522 g/t silver over 1.5 meters (1,609 g/t silver equivalent)
  • 2023 Exploration Plans: Silver Hammer is moving forward with the next phase of exploration, which will include further mapping, chip rock sampling, soil geochemical/structural review, and finalizing priority drill targets.
  • Geological Formation with Prolific Deposits: Silver Strand sits atop the Revett geological formation, which hosts multiple deposits with more than 100 million ounces of silver, including:
    • The Lucky Friday Mine, which has produced 105 million ounces of silver (and still in production).
    • The Sunshine Mine, which produced 360 million ounces of silver
    • The Galena Mine, which produced more than 250 million ounces of silver

*Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Company’s projects.

Eliza Silver Project

Eliza Silver Project

The Eliza project consists of 98 claims covering 5.5 square kilometers in the historic Hamilton Silver District, the district responsible for Nevada earning the moniker, “The Silver State.” The project also has polymetallic resource potential, further increasing the asset’s value. Silver Hammer will soon begin a property-wide geophysical survey as it moves toward its inaugural drill campaign.

Project Highlights:

  • Encouraging Polymetallic Surface Assays: Surface sampling from 2021 and 2022 confirms the existence of a well-developed, silver-rich mineral system, with results including:
    • 1,540 g/t silver, 6.88 percent copper, 7.38 percent zinc
    • 1,410 g/t silver, 5.4 percent copper, 9.05 percent lead, 2.6 percent zinc
    • 1,180 g/t silver, 7.7 percent copper, 11 percent lead, 13.4 percent zinc
  • Historical Production and Exploration: The project includes a past-producing mine and is located in a district that produced more than 40 million ounces of silver in the late 1800s.. In 1965, surface assays indicated 802.44 ounces per ton (oz/t) silver at 24,956 g/t, and 11.36 oz/t silver at 353 g/t.
  • Exploration to Commence: The company will soon begin a property-wide geophysical survey as it moves towards the maiden drill campaign. Additionally, the company is exploring nearby opportunities for accretive acquisitions.

Silverton Mine Project

Silverton Mine Project

The Silverton Mine project comprises 31 claims and is a high-grade, past-producing mine. With all necessary permits acquired, the project is drill-ready. Silver Hammer is currently finalizing drill targets and moving toward Phase 1 drilling.

Project Highlights:

  • No Previous Modern Exploration: The project was a small-scale operation in the 1930s, and has received little to no modern exploration. It was last active in 1937.
  • Potential for Two Mineralized Systems: Recent sampling and satellite imaging provide evidence of two separate systems: a volcanic-hosted gold system and a silver-dominated limestone-hosted mineral system.
  • Drill Pad Permitting Complete: The company has received all necessary permits to begin drilling. Phase 1 drilling will commence once the company identifies priority targets.
