Blackrock Silver Begins Placement of Hydrologic Monitoring Wells at Tonopah West
Blackrock Silver (BKRRF) has initiated a core drilling program for piezometer installation at its Tonopah West project in Nevada. The program includes four core holes totaling 1,565 metres and represents a crucial step in the permitting process for the proposed exploration decline, test mining, and bulk sample extraction.
The piezometers will be strategically placed to measure water flow along faults, lithologic contacts, and specific lithologies. The collected data will address water management questions for underground mining, including permitting requirements, engineering design, and water disposal solutions. This initiative demonstrates Blackrock's commitment to advancing the high-grade silver-gold asset while maintaining environmental and regulatory compliance.
Blackrock Silver (BKRRF) ha avviato un programma di perforazioni a nucleo per l'installazione di piezometri nel suo progetto Tonopah West in Nevada. Il programma prevede quattro fori a nucleo per un totale di 1.565 metri e rappresenta una fase fondamentale nel processo di autorizzazione per la galleria di esplorazione proposta, l'estrazione di prova e il campionamento in massa.
I piezometri saranno posizionati strategicamente per misurare il flusso d'acqua lungo faglie, contatti litologici e litologie specifiche. I dati raccolti serviranno a rispondere a questioni di gestione delle acque per l'estrazione sotterranea, inclusi i requisiti autorizzativi, la progettazione ingegneristica e le soluzioni per lo smaltimento delle acque. Questa iniziativa dimostra l'impegno di Blackrock nel far progredire l'asset ad alto grado di argento e oro, mantenendo al contempo la conformità ambientale e normativa.

El programa incluye cuatro perforaciones de núcleo que suman 1,565 metros y representa un paso crucial en el proceso de permisos para el declive de exploración propuesto, la minería de prueba y la extracción de muestras a granel.
Los piezómetros se colocarán estratégicamente para medir el flujo de agua a lo largo de fallas, contactos litológicos y litologías específicas. Los datos recopilados abordarán cuestiones de gestión del agua para la minería subterránea, incluyendo requisitos de permisos, diseño de ingeniería y soluciones para la disposición del agua. Esta iniciativa demuestra el compromiso de Blackrock con el avance del activo de plata y oro de alta ley, manteniendo el cumplimiento ambiental y regulatorio.
Blackrock Silver (BKRRF)는 네바다에 위치한 Tonopah West 프로젝트에서 압력계 설치를 위한 코어 시추 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 이 프로그램은 총 1,565미터에 달하는 4개의 코어 홀을 포함하며, 제안된 탐사 갱도, 시험 채광 및 대량 샘플 채취를 위한 허가 절차의 중요한 단계입니다.
압력계는 단층, 암석 접촉면 및 특정 암석 유형을 따라 물 흐름을 측정하도록 전략적으로 배치됩니다. 수집된 데이터는 지하 채굴의 물 관리 문제, 허가 요건, 엔지니어링 설계 및 물 처리 방안 등을 해결하는 데 사용됩니다. 이 이니셔티브는 환경 및 규제 준수를 유지하면서 고등급 은-금 자산을 발전시키려는 Blackrock의 의지를 보여줍니다.

Blackrock Silver (BKRRF) hat ein Kernbohrprogramm zur Installation von Piezometern bei seinem Tonopah West-Projekt in Nevada gestartet. Das Programm umfasst vier Kernbohrlöcher mit insgesamt 1.565 Metern und stellt einen entscheidenden Schritt im Genehmigungsverfahren für den vorgeschlagenen Erkundungsstollen, Testbergbau und die Entnahme von Großproben dar.
Die Piezometer werden strategisch platziert, um den Wasserfluss entlang von Verwerfungen, lithologischen Kontaktflächen und spezifischen Lithologien zu messen. Die gesammelten Daten sollen Fragen des Wassermanagements im Untertagebau klären, einschließlich Genehmigungsanforderungen, ingenieurtechnischer Planung und Wasserentsorgungslösungen. Diese Initiative zeigt Blackrocks Engagement, das hochwertige Silber-Gold-Vorkommen voranzutreiben und gleichzeitig Umwelt- und Regulierungsanforderungen einzuhalten.

The collection of hydrologic data from piezometers is a crucial step in obtaining permits for the proposed exploration decline, test mining and bulk sample extraction at Tonopah West
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 15, 2025) - Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) (FSE: AHZ0) ("Blackrock" or the "Company") announces commencement of a core drilling program for piezometer instrumentation installation, which is a critical path item for the permitting process of the proposed exploration decline, test mining and bulk sample extraction at the Company's Tonopah West project ("Tonopah West") located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada.
The Company's hydrologic program includes four core holes, totalling 1,565 metres (5,150 ft). Each drillhole will contain multiple piezometers strategically placed to measure water flow along faults, lithologic contacts and within specific lithologies along the projected alignment of the proposed decline. The data collected from these piezometers will help address questions related to water management in an underground mine, including information for required permits, engineering design and water disposal.
The hydrologic program aims to gather critical hydrologic data to support the permitting and development phases of Tonopah West. This initiative highlights Blackrock's commitment to advancing Tonopah West while adhering to stringent environmental and regulatory standards. The data collected from these piezometers will inform the design and management of the proposed exploration decline and assist in optimizing the design for safety and efficiency.
"The initiation of our hydrologic program marks a pivotal milestone as we continue to advance our high-grade Tonopah West silver-gold asset towards development," commented Andrew Pollard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blackrock. "The installation of these monitoring wells is a critical component in unlocking the permitting process for our proposed exploration decline and test mining. By gathering essential hydrologic data, we're not only optimizing our mine plan for efficiency and safety but also reinforcing our commitment to responsible development as we aim to build a project that meets the highest regulatory and sustainability standards."
