About Silver Queen Project
The Silver Queen project is a premier gold-silver property with over 100 years of historical exploration
and development and is located adjacent to power, roads and rail with significant mining infrastructure
that was developed under previous operators Bradina JV (Bralorne Mines) and Houston Metals Corp. (a
Hunt Brothers company). The property contains two historical declines into the No. 3 Vein, camp
infrastructure, and a maintained Tailings Facility.
The Silver Queen property consists of 45 mineral claims, 17 crown grants, and two surface crown grants
totalling 18,852ha with no underlying royalties. Mineralization is hosted by a series of epithermal veins
distributed over a 6 sq km area.
On December 1, 2022 (NR-12-22), the Company reported an independently estimated, Mineral
Resource Estimate ("MRE") for Silver Queen which increased an earlier MRE, initially reported on July
16th, 2019, by +187% in the Indicated category and by +30% in the Inferred category on a AgEq basis
with approximately 74% of the new MRE classified as Indicated Resources. The Company has
expended C$6.75 million on exploration of the Silver Queen project since 2019 resulting in a very low
discovery cost of $0.15/oz of added AgEq or $11/oz of added AuEq. The MRE remains open for
additional delineation west of the Camp Target and within the Sveinson Target. In addition, there are
several targets that have only been tested by a few drill holes and remain very attractive areas for new
discoveries and MRE increase.
For more information on the recent MRE please refer to the Company's News Release NR-12-22 dated
December 1, 2022.
