Dolly Varden (DV) has dramatically extended silver mineralization at the Wolf Vein, part of the company’s Kitsault Valley Project.
Drill intercepts outside of the high-grade silver shoots encountered anomalous silver mineralization within broad potassic alteration halos underneath a cap of sedimentary rocks. The continuity of silver mineralization underneath the sedimentary cover near the bottom of the Kitsault Valley is resulting in new, blind silver discoveries within the century-old Dolly Varden silver mining camp.
Mineralization remains wide open for expansion, with further assays pending from the 2022 season.
CEO, President & Director Shawn Khunkhun sat down with Daniella Atkinson to highlight the results.
“Dolly Varden Silver’s wide-spaced step-out drilling this season has more than doubled the strike length of the Wolf Deposit, as well as extended high-grade silver mineralization to over 750 meters in dip extent. The highest grades are within robust, vein-hosted mineralization that is potentially amenable to underground bulk mining methods. We eagerly anticipate additional drilling results from the 2022 season at Wolf, Homestake Main, Homestake Silver and Red Point.”
