Phase 1 Drilling Commences at Silver Strand
NEWS RELEASE
Silver Hammer Mining Corp. Commences Phase I Drilling at the Silver
Strand Mine in Idaho
Vancouver, British Columbia / October 14, 2021 – Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE:
HAMR / OTC: HAMRF) (“Silver Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that Phase
I drilling has commenced at the Silver Strand Mine in Idaho.
Phase I drill ing will include both underground drilling and select shallow surface drilling. Past
production ceased at just 90 metres depth and this first phase of underground drilling will test
immediately below what was historically mined at Silver Strand (see Figure 1.) while surface
drilling will test for lateral vein extensions along strike and will step out to test surrounding targets.
Results from Phase I drilling are expected to provide valuable information regarding the plunge,
depth, lateral expansion, and dip of the veins, to support the Company’s modelling and future
phases of drilling. This information will also help the Company to set expectations for timing of
an initial resource.
“By working closely with a local drilling company and the local forest service with a plan to use
an innovative and environmentally friendly drilling method for limited surface drilling in addition
to utilizing the existing infrastructure for underground drilling , we were able to obtain drilling
permissions in an expedited time frame ,” stated President Morgan Lekstrom. “ The recently
completed underground rehabilitation will enable us to achieve a better return on investment per
metre drilled by targeting depth extensions from a drilling bay at 90 metres depth by allowing the
drill bit to bypass significant overburden. We are also very excited to report that drilling at Silver
Strand has already hit the vein and mafic dyke (magnetic portions of the rock) where we expected,
but has also hit another vein on the opposite side of the mafic dyke.”
