Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Announces Major Acquisition of Two Past Producing Mines
Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Announces Major Acquisition of Two Past Producing Mines
February 05, 2026 - Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI,
OTCQB:SBMCF) (“SBMI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has added two more past
producing mines in Arizona to its already impressive portfolio.
These acquisitions are further validation of the Company’s hub and spoke business model, with
the Company’s mill being the hub. These two acquisitions are two additional s pokes, providing
for possible near-term production, future development, and possibly for historical resources that
might be advanced to NI43-101 standards.
These two new acquisitions are the Columbia Mine and the Gold Queen Mine . These past
producing mines are contiguous to each other and are located in Gila County, Arizona, less than
30 miles from SBMI ’s mill in Globe, Arizona . These two properties together consist of twelve
BLM mineral claims previously held by Phelps Dodge Corporation, and host multiple past
producing copper, gold and silver mines. The Company ex pects to disclose technical data
concerning these two mines in the near future.
The Company has carried out due diligence review of the material from the mines at its mill, and
has determined the material can be processed at the mill and is suitable for recovery of the gold,
silver and copper. SBMI is taking steps to ensure all requisite permits are current.
SBMI is currently preparing access to the mines. The Company plans to immediately evaluate the
stockpiles, and if thought advisable will ship some or all of them to its mill to recover what gold,
silver and/or copper may be in them. The Company is also considering rehabilitating an existin g
crosscut at the 1300 foot level.
The goals are to produce a saleable gold , silver and/or co pper concentrate and to produce direct
ship material (DSO) under contract with a major buyer. The DSO contract is in place subject to
final material analysis.
The acquisition price is a small cash payment. No sh ares or any form of royalty is involved. The
Company believes no regulatory approval is required.
The Company believes this is a major stepping stone to continue building a significant mining
operation in Arizona. It also provides SBMI with the historic da ta necessary to carry out further
work and establish a future compliant resource estimate with what the Company believes to be
high potential. While the other properties in SBMIs portfolio have great potential for high grade
material, the Columbia and Gold Queen Mines have the potential for both high grade and the
ability to increase tonnage quickly. The Company believes this yet again confirms that its hub and
spoke model is working. SBMI is able to complete all the necessary due diligence to make an
informed decision in a very short period of time. The Company believes it has built a strong
portfolio of excellent properties that will provide high grade feed to its wholly owned mill.
Engineering is underway to expand the capacity of the mill.
