Blackrock Silver (TSXV:BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) has engaged Westland Engineering and Environmental Services to guide the permitting process for developing an exploration decline and test mining at its 100%-owned Tonopah West project in Nevada. The project, located on private land, could potentially increase domestic silver production by up to 15% annually.
The company aims to receive necessary permits to break ground on an exploration decline by 2027. Additionally, Blackrock has expanded drilling programs by 15,000 metres, with plans to release a mineral resource update in Q3 2025. The initial mine design targets the Bermuda-Merten vein group at an average undiluted grade of 981 g/t silver equivalent.
The company plans to complete an in-fill drilling program of approximately 62 drillholes, aiming to convert up to 1.5-million tonnes from inferred to measured and indicated resources. An updated preliminary economic assessment is expected by Q2 2026.
