CEO Shawn Khunkhun commented on the company’s success in 2022.

“2022 has been the most successful year to date in the history of Dolly Varden Silver. By consolidating seven high-grade silver and gold deposits and historic mines with potential development synergies and exploration upside, we have created a preeminent silver-gold company within an accessible and stable region of BC’s prolific Golden Triangle. Drill results received and released to date have exceeded expectations, and we eagerly await the remaining 50 drill holes from our 2022 exploration season. We are grateful to exist and new shareholders who have provided us with the capital to continue to unlock the potential of the Kitsault Valley.” 

The gross proceeds will be used for further exploration, mineral resource expansion and drilling in Kitsault Valley, located in northwestern BC, and working capital.

All securities issued are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada, expiring on April 23, 2022.
