Silver North Provides Tim Drilling Progress Update

(TheNewswire)

  • Drilling indicates the presence of a Carbonate Replacement ("CRD") style system at Tim

  • Program Expanded to include airborne geophysical surveys

  • Over 1,300 m of planned 2,000 m of drilling completed to date

  • Management recently completed site visit

Vancouver, BC, August 19, 2 024 – TheNewswire – Silver North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SNAG, OTCQB: TARSF) " Silver North " or the " Company ") is pleased to provide an update on 2024 Yukon exploration activities at the Tim silver property. The Tim Property is under option to, and operated by, Coeur Mining, Inc. ("Coeur" NYSE-CDE), which is funding the 2024 program. To date, over 1,300 metres of drilling in four holes have been completed.

"We are extremely pleased with Coeur's progress to date at Tim," stated Rob Duncan, VP Exploration for Silver North after a recent site visit to the Tim Property. "Given that the Wolf Fault has been identified in several historic trenches, in the current drillholes and anomalous soil geochemistry over a cumulative strike length of >2 km, we believe that the Tim project displays the necessary characteristics of a potentially productive CRD system. We are eagerly awaiting the analytical results from this program, which are expected to be received in October."

Diamond drilling at the Tim Property commenced at the end of June, testing the potential for stratiform (manto) and structural (chimney) style Carbonate Replacement Deposit ("CRD") mineralization. Drilling at Tim is primarily targeting the Wolf Fault, a northwest striking and steeply southwest dipping structure that parallels the regionally significant Kechika Fault, which can be traced from the Silvertip land package through Tim and Silver North's Veronica Project (recently acquired via option). Large conductivity anomalies defined by SkyTEM airborne geophysical data are associated with the Wolf Fault, as is silver mineralization and/or heavily oxidized fault breccias in historical trenches.

All 4 holes drilled to date have intersected the strongly oxidized Wolf structure and/or parallel splays of it. The Wolf Fault is noted to emplace overlying Kechika phyllite and argillites in fault contact with the underlying prospective Rosella Limestone Formation. At depth, parallel structures to the Wolf Fault are seen within the argillites of the Boya Formation that underlie the Rosella limestones. Geological and structural features that have been observed in the drilling to date consist of diagnostic features that are commonly associated with significant CRD mineralization and have been observed at the Silvertip deposits. Such characteristics include fugitive calcite veining that fluoresces in UV light (displaying the classic "barbeque" pink and orange fluorescence) and re-crystallization of the host limestones. These features suggest that the Wolf Fault target at Tim could be part of a productive CRD system.

Coeur has indicated it is planning to complete six holes for a total drilled meterage of approximately 2,200 m. In addition to the drilling, Coeur will also be undertaking two additional detailed airborne geophysical surveys over the entire project consisting of magnetics and radiometrics surveys and a Mobile MT survey that has the potential to detect conductive features at much greater depths than the recent SkyTEM airborne survey of the property. These elements represent an expansion of the planned 2024 exploration program. The current program is expected to wrap up by early September.

The 2024 program is conducted under the direction of Coeur's exploration team based at Silvertip, under the terms of an option agreement granting Coeur the right to earn a 51% interest in the property by completing a minimum of $3.15 million in additional exploration expenditures and making additional cash payments to Silver North totalling $275,000 by December 31, 2026. Coeur can bring its interest to 80% by making additional cash payments of $100,000 per year in 2027 and 2028, completing a positive feasibility study and informing Silver North of its intention to develop a mine at Tim by December 16, 2028. Under this agreement, Coeur must fund a minimum $700,000 program in 2024. Tim is road accessible via 25 km of 4 x 4 access off the Silvertip Mine Road.
