Silver One Provides Update ON Its Cherokee Project, Nevada Drill Targets Identified
SILVER ONE PROVIDES UPDATE ON ITS CHEROKEE PROJECT, NEVADA
DRILL TARGETS IDENTIFIED
Vancouver, British Columbia--(February 1, 2021) - Silver One Resources Inc. (TSXV: SVE) (OTCQX: SLVRF)
(FSE: BRK1) (“Silver One” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a summary of its 2020 exploration at
its 100% owned Cherokee Project, Nevada. The work was undertaken between August and December
2020 and was successful in helping to define drill targets in the Cherokee Mine, Johnnie and Hidden
Treasure areas (see map below). The programs also have increased the understanding of the geological
and structural controls on mineralization , identified additional areas displaying multiple styles of
alteration and mineralization, and have highlighted the need for additional exploration along the entire
12 km structural corridor (see map below).
Highlights
• 3 areas with drill targets selected to date
• Large zones of alteration with strongly elevated silver, gold and copper identified.
These zones may be related to large replacement or porphyry systems at depth
• Large upside exploration potential remains throughout the property
Greg Crowe, President and CEO of Silver One commented: “The Cherokee project continues to advance and
evolve from a single epithermal silver -copper vein first found at the historic Cherokee Mine , to multiple
styles of silver-gold-copper mineralization throughout the property. The various styles include epithermal
veins, vein breccias, and areas of extensive alteration and veining, some of which may be indicative of
larger replacement or porphyry style deposits at depth. This mineralized system is developing into a district
scale play, similar to the historic silver vein and replacement camp at Pioche located 50 miles to the north,
which is also hosted in Paleozoic-Mesozoic aged rock units.”
Mr. Crowe went on to comment: “ Initial drill targets have been identified in the surface vein and vei n
breccia zones at Cherokee, Johnnie and Hidden Treasure, but further exploration along the entire 12 km
structural corridor will likely produce additional drilling targets in the near future . Additionally, a large
magnetic high in the southeastern part of the property (see map below) may represent a buried intrusive
that was the target of a deep porphyry molybdenum drilling program in the 1980 ’s. All of the above
suggest the Cherokee property may be host to an intrusive centered system exceeding 1 km in vertical
extent that includes distal epithermal veins and replacements, and potential porphyry deposits at depth.
This evolving high -grade silver -gold-copper system continues to enhance the prospectivity of the
property.”
To date, geologic mapping has been completed over 90% of the claim block. A total of 830 rock and 727
soil samples have been analyzed and a helicopter -towed aeromagnetic three -axis gradient survey was
conducted over the entire Cherokee project area. All of the above have provided support to the lithologic,
structural and exploration models proposed and have identified select drill targets. The surveys have also
delineated other anomalous areas requiring additional exploration.
Significant silver gold and copper mineralization has been identified over the entire area in two main
geologic settings (see map below):
1) Veins and vein breccias cutting Triassic thru Pennsylvanian limestone and sandstone, as identified
along the Cherokee and Mojoto vein systems and;
2) Alteration zones and hydrothermal solution breccias in Permian thru Mississippian limestone and
calcareous sandstone. These surfac e areas of alteration may be associated with higher
temperature mineralizing solutions at depth, like those found in the Pioche silver camp to the
north. Two areas on the property hosting this style of alteration , in association with high silver,
gold and copper values, are Garden Mountain and Blue Nose.
Vein mineralization is composed of massive to banded quartz, chalcedony and calcite with minor amounts
of silver and copper bearing minerals. Vein textures, including boiling point textures, in combination with
elevated copper values at Cherokee may indicate th at mineralization there is deeper in the epithermal
system than that found at Hidden Treasure and Johnnie . The mineralogy of the alteration zones and
solution breccia bodies is similar but contains barite and minor fluorite.
Veins – Vein Breccias
Across the property, multiple veins, each in excess of 1-2 meter wide, occur within a structural corridor
that has been traced for over 12 km along strike. It must be emphasized that the veins and alteration
areas are oxidized and leached within 3 meters of the surface and that the vast majority of the entire
structural corridor has not been sampled in detail. .
Drill programs have been designed and proposed for three of the vein systems: Cherokee corridor
(Cherokee Mine and SE Cherokee) , Johnnie-Mojoto corridor and the Hidden Treasure vein system (see
map below). Cherokee is underlain by Patented claims, so would be first on the drill roster.
The Cherokee corridor is developed along a major NW-trending normal fault with at least several hundred
meters of displacement. A major system of silver-copper veins has been identified over 4 kilometers
containing four segments or shoots in excess of 300 meters each at Rattlesnake, Cherokee mine, SE
Cherokee mine and Jackrabbit (see map below). Sampling at the Cherokee and SE Cherokee mines has
identified strongly banded veins in outcrop and dumps containing select surface samples returning silver
and copper values from background to highs s in excess of 1150 g/t silver and 4.8% copper (see Company’s
news releases of July 9, 2018; Oct 23, 2018; Sept 3, 2019, Nov 11, 2019, June 10, 2020; Aug 6, 2020 and
maps on the Company’s website – www.silverone.com).
The Johnnie-Mojoto corridor is a major pre- and post-mineral NW-trending normal fault vein system that
has been mapped over 9 kilometers along strike. Near the Johnnie mine, a 1.3 km segment of the corridor
hosts a robust area of veining up to 75 meters wide, composed of hydrothermal breccia and chalcedony
veins. Select surface samples in several areas along the vein structure return ed anomalous silver values
from background to 27.3 g/t silver and gold values from background to 0.434 g/t. The presence of higher
gold values and lower copper values at Johnnie may be indicative of a shallower level within the
epithermal vein system.
Hidden Treasure is comprised of at least 5 distinct sub-parallel veins identified over a 2 km strike in the
footwall of the Mojoto structural corridor. The primary targets here are the hanging-wall veins, with select
surface samples returning values from background to 1.9 kg/t (1900 ppm or g/t) silver and up to 2 g/t Au
(see Company’s news releases of October 23, 2018, June 10, 2020 and maps on the Company’s website –
www.silverone.com). Broad zones of parallel chalcedony veins are observed across a zone measuring up
to 50 meters in width. This area represents a wide zone of multiple veining with individual hi gh-grade
veins within the wider alteration halo.
More detailed maps of sampling at Cherokee, John nie and Hidden Treasure can be viewed on the
Company’s website at www.silverone.com.
Alteration Zones and Hydrothermal Solution Breccias
Areas of h ydrothermal solution breccia represent a different style of mineralization that is widely
developed in several areas within the Cherokee project (see map below) . This type of alteration and
associated mineralization is hosted within limestone and calcareous sandstone units throughout the
Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks. In two specific areas, the Garden Mountain and Blue Nose - Viola corridors
(see map below) , these breccia bodies occur as semi -conformable lenses up to 10 meters in width and
traceable in the surface for a few to several hundred meters along the strike of the ‘favorable’ horizon.
Mapping has revealed that these breccia bodies are best developed im mediately below or adjacent to
jasperoid bodies or at the limestone -sandstone interface. Select surface sampling has returned highly
anomalous values in silver, gold and copper in both of these areas.
The proximity to jasperoid masses, extensive decalcification of the limestone and epithermal textures in
the breccia masses, suggest that they occupy upper levels of a robust dissolution and mineralizing event.
Although generally oxidized and leached, several occurrences of these hydrothermal solution brec cias
contain relict silver -copper-lead-zinc sulfides in a quartz -calcite-barite-fluorite gangue . Select surface
samples report silver values ranging from background to over 500 g/t silver, 2.0 g/t gold and 10,000 ppm
(1%) copper at Blue Nose.
Both the Ga rden Mountain and Blue Nose - Viola areas will require additional exploration before drill
targets can be identified.
Summary
The mineralogy of the vein deposits and alteration zone solution breccias is sufficiently similar to suggest
that their fluids emanated from similar sources. Their distinct appearances suggest contrasting pre -
mineral ground preparation prior to the mineralizing events. It is also possible that the areas of alteration
and solution breccias may be volumetrically important as exploration follows these favorable horizons to
greater depths.
At the historic Cherokee mine workings, limited silver production via several shallow workings indicates
that erosion has reached the productive horizon on veins and vein breccias. Additionally, the extensive
presence of hydrothermal solution breccia elsewhere on the property, with anomalous silver, gold and
copper values, suggest that the overall epithermal system is vertically preserved, and erosion has been
minimal. This also heightens the prospectivity for these mineralized systems at depth.
The Cherokee project is a major, underexplored and evolving silver camp hosted by a variety of structures
in Tertiary volcanic and Mesozoic/Paleozoic se dimentary rocks. The broad extent of silver/copper
mineralization suggests a robust hydrothermal system hosted by a variety of rock types, not only
containing the surface expressions of high -grade silver-gold and copper veins but also being capable of
hosting major, concealed mineralized deposits.
