Bayhorse Silver Commences Underground Drill Program
Bayhorse Silver Inc, (BHS: TSX -V, BHSIF: OTCQB, 7KXN: FRANKFURT) (the “Company”
or “Bayhorse”) reports that it has commenced the first stage of its underground drill program at its
Bayhorse Silver Mine in Baker County, Oregon, USA.
The first drill holes are to confirm the Big Do g hanging wall mineralization, where prior drill results
has identified silver grades of 6.75 oz/t over 6 meters, (BHS22-08) and Grab samples taken from the Big
Dog zone returned 218.2 oz/t (6,786.76 g/t) and 30.17 oz/t (938.4 g/t) silver respectively, while a Goldilocks
sample returned 145.05 oz/t (4,511.5 g/t) silver. (BHS22-07)
The second stage of underground drilling will be to target a low resistivity zone identified from the
recent VTEM survey, that starts immediately to the west of the western end of the current underground
workings. ( Figure 1 – Proposed drill targets).
The known strike of the Big Dog hanging wall zone is 100 meters (330 feet) with a 12 meter (40 foot
known vertical extent.
A surface drill program is currently in the permitting stage targeting the large low resistivity zone on
the SE corner of the Bayhorse Idaho property, then the two smaller low resistivity zones immediately
to north, to determine whether a copper porphyry exists on the Idaho property.
There are possibly two different mineralized targets on the newly acquired Idaho claims. A Bayhorse
Mine style silver rich massive sulphide target related to the strong magnetic signatures and a possibly
Hercules Silver-type copper porphyry target marked by the strong minimal Resistivity results.
Bayhorse CEO, Graeme O’Neill, comments that the low resistivity anomaly both i mmediately west
and east of the Bayhorse Mine underground workings, makes it a priority for further drill testing. As
well the low resistivity anomalies in the east of the Idaho property, may significantly increase the
discovery potential of a copper porphyry deposit as found at Hercules Silver property, 44 km to the
north in similar geological terrain.
Due to the historic reported gold grades of up to 10 g/t at the Bayhorse Mine, (Silver King Mines,
1984) and presence of high grade gold properties in close proximity to the Bayhorse Mine (Gleason, 8
km to the west, Connor Creek, 6 km to the north) the Company’s senior geological consultants believe
it possible that the silver- rich Bayhorse Mine epithermal mineralization may be underlain by a gold -
rich zone.
Figure 1 Proposed drill targets
Dr. Clay Conway, P.Geol., has mapped rhyolite -hosted mineralization east of the Snake River in the
area underlain by the strong magnetic anomalies . This raises the possibility that another Bayhorse
Silver rich deposit may be found at the hydrothermally altered rhyolite contacts.

It has long been known there is a strong genetic and spatial relationship between porphyry plutons
(which are the source of the hot fluids and metals) and outlying or overlying epithermals, skarns,
mantos and even vein systems. If the metals stay in the pluton or close to its margins it may end up as
a Cu porphyry. If in addition the fluids move upwards along conduits, then this could result in
precious metal epithermal mineralization like the Bayhorse high grade silver deposit.

to 15,000 g/t silver and 10-12% copper, 10-12% antimony, and 15-18% zinc using standard flotation
processing at its milling facility in nearby Payette County, Idaho, USA, with an offtake agreement in
place with Ocean Partners UK Limited. The Company also has an option to acquire an 80% interest in
the Brandywine high grade silver/gold property located in B.C. Canada. The Company has an
experienced management and technical team with extensive mining expertise in both exploration and
building mines.
