Vancouver, British Columbia / May 6, 2022 – Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR/OTCQB:HAMRF) (“Silver Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update, including clarification of technical disclosure, and an update for the Silver Strand Project in Idaho, and the commencement of exploration field programs at Silverton Project in Nevada as well as sample results from Eliza.
Silver Strand, Idaho
- The Company wishes to clarify that there are no resource estimates at Silver Strand. Any resource estimates referred to in the Company’s disclosure should not be relied upon as they have not been verified or supported by a compliant National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) technical report.
- A drill program at Silver Strand to test mineralization to 250 metres depth below the existing workings, as well as test select surface targets is planned for late Q2 or early Q3 2022.
- The Company also plans to file a new NI 43-101 technical report which will include 2021 drill results, repatriated core and assay results from a 2002 drill program completed by a previous owner and updated exploration plans for 2022 (Q2 2022).
Eliza and Silverton Projects (Nevada)
- The Company has recently completed an initial sampling program at Eliza, including 8 rock samples from the California Mine area, 1 rock sample from the Belmont area and 11 rock samples from the Passynak Mine, with results expected, shortly.
- A mapping and sampling program is also underway to test the potential strike length of surface mineralization at Silverton. Data collected from the field work is designed to refine existing targets and generate new target areas along strike as the Company works towards finalizing phase I drill targets at Silverton.
“We believe that the exploration work we have planned for 2022 will substantially grow our understanding of each of our three main past-producing projects,” stated President & CEO Morgan Lekstrom. “Filing a new technical report for Silver Strand will allow us to not only add the completed drilling and updated model, but also the additional knowledge recovered from the previous owner and detailed proposed exploration plans across the entire project.”
