Permit to Drill Silverton Silver Mine
NEWS RELEASE
Silver Hammer Receives Permit to Drill the Past-Producing Silverton Silver Mine
Project in Nevada
Vancouver, British Columbia / March 24, 2022 – Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE:
HAMR/OTCQB:HAMRF) (“Silver Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that
it has received permits to drill its past -producing Silverton Silver Mine (or “Silverton”)
located 129 kilometres (“km”) northeast of the Tonopah silver district in Nevada. The
drilling is part of an exploration program targeting extensions of the high -grade veins
mined until the 1920s. This historic mine has seen only minimal modern exploration.
The United States Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) has
granted a drill ing and surface disturbance exploration permit. The two -year permit,
effective March 17, 2022, allows the Company up to 13 drill sites, 8,530 feet of drilling,
3,248 feet of constructed road and 200 feet of overland travel covering 2.35 acres of
surface disturbance. The Company plans to test areas around the existing mine as well
as recently staked areas after refining targets.
Morgan Lekstrom, President & Chief Executive Officer of Silver Hammer stated: "Our
primary focus remains our flagship Silver Stra nd Project in Idaho; however, the first
phases of field work at Silverton were very encouraging and securing a two -year permit
now puts us in position to accelerate towards drilling once we’ve refined and finalized our
targets.”
Mr. Lekstrom added: “Earli er this year, our technical team staked additional 19 claims
expanding the Silverton land package to 620 total acres. Obtaining an initial permit is just
another milestone step towards testing the exploration upside that we believe remains
here.”
