Silver North Signs Significant Drill and Geophysical Contracts for 2026 Silver Exploration at
Haldane, YT.
• Two year drill contract with Boart keeps 2 drills on site for 10,000 to 14,000 metres of drilling.
• Haldane SkyTEM contract will assist in refining drill hole targeting at Main, West, Bighorn, Johnson
and Middlecoff targets.
• Airborne Geophysics contracted for the Veronica Silver Project for initial drill hole targeting.
Vancouver, BC, March 9, 2026 – Silver North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SNAG, OTCQB:
TARSF, Frankfurt: I90, “Silver North” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
signed a two year drill contract with Boart Longyear (“Boart”) for the fully funded 2026 and
2027 Haldane silver exploration programs. In addition, Silver North has signed contracts for
airborne geophysical surveys at both it’s Haldane and Veronica projects.
Jason Weber, President & CEO., noted that “We are extremely pleased to be in a strong
financial position and to have the ability to lock in this two year contract with Boart for drilling
at Haldane. This gives us certainty of executing our plan for 5,000 – 7,000 metres of drilling
each year for potential expansion of the Main Fault where our previously announced drilling
results returned from HLD25-31 include 3.2 metres averaging 2,014 g/t silver, 1.72 g/t
gold, 4.73% lead and 1.1% zinc within a larger 13.15 metre intersection of 818 g/t silver,
1.39 g/t gold, 2.54% lead and 0.98% zinc. With two drills available to us, we now have the
flexibility to simultaneously test our numerous exploration targets on the Haldane Project.”
Haldane Drilling Contract
The drilling contract between Siver North and Boart will see two diamond drilling rigs
provided for the entirety of the 2026 and 2027 field seasons. Mobilization of the two drills and
supporting equipment will occur around the middle of March with the equipment ready and in
position to start the drilling campaign as soon as weather and the exploration season allow.
This is expected to be no later than the first week of June.
Drilling will focus on expanding the Main Fault target where all 9 holes that have reached the
target have returned significant widths and grades of silver-gold-lead-zinc vein mineralization.
Additional targets slated for drill testing include Bighorn where a drill discovery made in 2019
has never been followed up. The target footprint at Bighorn consists of anomalous soil
geochemistry and anomalous silver bearing structures encountered in trenching over 600
metre strike length surrounding the one drill hole. Further drill meterage is reserved for
refined targets from the airborne geophysical survey and associated Johnson, West Fault
and Middlecoff targets.
Airborne Geophysical Survey
Silver North has also signed a contract with SkyTEM Canada Inc. (“SkyTEM”) to conduct a
SkyTEM312 survey over the Haldane project. The survey will consist of 100 metre spaced
flight lines with 1,000 metre spaced tie lines for a total of 944 line-kilometres of survey. The
survey will collect both magnetics and time domain electro-magnetic data. The purpose of the
survey is to aid detailed drill hole targeting by refining the underlying geology as well as
helping define Haldane’s complex structural architecture.
Veronica Airborne Geophysical Survey
Silver North has also signed a contract with Geotech Ltd. (“Geotech”) to conduct a VTEM
survey over the Veronica project. The survey will consist of 100 metre spaced flight lines with
1,000 metre spaced tie lines for a total of 243 line-kilometres of survey. The survey will
collect both magnetics and time domain electro-magnetic data. The goals for the survey are
to help map the property geology that is largely obscured by overburden, and to provide
information about the structural architecture of the project area, potentially revealing
structures that could host mineralization. Mineralization discovered at Veronica in 2025
included a float cobble sample at the Lodge Showing that returned 2,860 g/t Ag, 0.412 g/t Au,
76.8% Pb and 0.18% Zn and a rock grab sample from an outcropping brecciated and
silicified fault zone at the Cooper Showing that returned 33.17 g/t Ag, 1.36 % lead and 0.4%
Zn (see news release dated December 11, 2025). The VTEM survey has the potential to
directly detect potential fault hosted sulphide mineralization and sulphide bearing CRD
related manto styles of mineralization in the subsurface.
