Core Silver has defined two main Project areas at the Blue Property that contain high-grade and silver-rich massive sulphide skarn, carbonate replacement, and sheeted base and precious metal vein occurrences associated with copper-silver-molybdenum-bearing porphyries. The combined geologic histories of these areas cover over 125 Ma of magmatic-hydrothermal activity associated with prospective Jurassic (ca. 186 Ma), Cretaceous (ca. 106 Ma) and Eocene (ca. 58 Ma) aged intrusions.
THE LAVERDIERE COPPER PROJECT
In the late 1800's, the Laverdiere brother's discovered high-grade magnetite and copper skarn along the western flank of the Llewellyn Fault Zone (LFZ; See Slideshow for Figure 1). Historical adits driven into the massive and high-grade copper skarn at the Main Zone in the early 1900s returned up to
2022 diamond drilling conducted by Core Silver confirmed high-grade copper skarn and porphyry mineralization for over 1 km following the north-south trend of the Llewellyn Fault along the eastern edge of the Laverdiere porphyry. The top drill intercepts obtained from the Main Zone in 2022 include (See Slideshow for Figure 1):
LAV22-006 (North Adit) - 107.38m of
0.31% CuEq* (0.11% Cu,0.023% Mo, 0.9g/t Ag, 0.02g/t Au) from 144.62m.LAV22-001 (French Adit) - 267.05m of
0.21% CuEq* (0.17% Cu, 1g/t Ag, 0.04g/t Au) from surface, including 48.54m of1.02% CuEq* (0.90% Cu, 6g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au) from 31.46m depth.LAV22-002 (French Adit) - 223m of
0.20% CuEq* (0.11% Cu,0.006% Mo, 2g/t Ag, 0.05g/t Au) from 15m depth, including 54m of0.31% CuEq* (0.19% Cu,0.002% Mo, 3g/t Ag, 0.12g/t Au) from 173m depth, and 24.42m of0.50% CuEq* (0.32% Cu,0.005% Mo, 4g/t Ag, 0.12g/t Au) from 207.23m depth.LAV22-005 (South Adit) - 83.22m of
0.27% CuEq* (0.12% Cu,0.016% Mo, 0.8g/t Ag, 0.03g/t Au) from 6.9m depth.
*CuEq: Assay results are presented as uncut weighted averages. Interval widths represent drilled HQ core lengths and true width is unknown currently. Metal prices used to calculate Cu Equivalent (% CuEq) are Au
The first target of the 2025 drilling program will focus on the Valley Zone. The Valley Zone represents a highly prospective area of increased hydrothermal activity and high-grade porphyry copper mineralization located 2km southwest and 700m up-elevation from the Main Zone that was drill-tested in 2022. Both high-grade zones remain open for expansion in multiple directions.
At the Valley Zone, a series of sheeted mineralized porphyry veins, veinlets and fractures hosted in granodiorite porphyry have been mapped and sampled over a 1-kilometer east-west trend that historically returned up to
Veins hosting significant Cu-Mo-Ag-Au mineralization measure up to 20-centimeters-thick along the Valley Fault and are concentrated in an area of increased structural complexity.
Mineralized porphyry veins sampled at surface and in 2022 drill core show an overall increase in grade toward the Valley Fault - interpreted as the location of a high-grade porphyry centre.
THE SILVER LIME POLYMETALLIC PROJECT is a drill-ready project containing exposed Zn-Ag-Pb-Cu±Au mineral occurrences that span the entire porphyry-skarn-carbonate replacement-epithermal continuum over a 9kmx10km area.
During the inaugural diamond drilling program in 2022, drilling was designed to follow up on high-grade surface samples collected in the previous year that returned 672g/t Ag,
Prospecting in 2022 approximately 500m southwest of Grizzly identified high-grade, silver-rich carbonate replacement mineralization at the Gally Target that returned up to 1115g/t Ag with
Exposed high-grade massive sulphide carbonate replacement and contact skarn mineralization was also drill-tested at the Pete's Target in 2023, located approximately 2.3km northwest of the Gally Target. Drilling in this area was designed to test the depth extent of silver-rich mineralization identified at surface in 2022 that returned 8.0m of 250g/t Ag,
In 2024 at the Sulphide City Target area, drillhole SLM24-060 intersected a high-grade massive zinc-copper skarn grading
The Whaleback Zn-Cu Skarn forms a 250m-long mineralized trend with the Gally Target (See Slideshow for Figure 2). This trend tracks metal zonation outward from the Sulphide City Porphyry Centre to Zn-Cu-Ag-rich massive sulphide contact skarn at Whaleback and to Ag-Zn-Cu-Pb rich massive sulphide carbonate replacement and skarn mineralization at Gally.
In 2024, the North Gold Prospect was re-visited and prospecting uncovered sheeted quartz-arsenopyrite veins measuring up to 50cm thick that graded up to 1.74g/t Au and 111g/t Ag (F422245), with most samples collected assaying > 0.25g/t Au and >10g/t Ag. These samples were collected within a 120m wide zone at North Gold (6km north of the Sulphide City Porphyry Centre) and has been mapped for approximately 600m along strike and remains open for expansion.
Additional base and precious metal vein occurrences located outboard of the porphyry-skarn-carbonate replacement mineralization at Silver Lime include: The Amp, Falcon and Pike Valley targets (See Slideshow for Figures 3, 4). Veins sampled in these areas have graded upwards of 931g/t Ag with 1.17g/t Au (152076) and 689g/t Ag with
The Jackie Target is situated within the Silver Lime Project and contains some of the best high-grade results collected at the Blue Property to-date. The multi-generational mineralization styles at the Jackie Target are influenced by the Eocene Sulphide City Porphyry system, as well as an extensive Cretaceous age mafic intrusion and include massive Zn-Ag-Cu skarn and carbonate replacement mineralization - some containing significant amounts of Te, Ga and Bi; argentiferous manganese oxide mineralization (AMOM); and a wide variety of base and precious metal-bearing epithermal veins.
Drilling at the Jackie Target in previous years has intersected multiple massive sulphide horizons over impressive widths. In 2022, drillhole SLM22-001 intersected 21.65m of 23g/t Ag,
7 out of 8 diamond drillholes completed at Jackie in 2023 intersected massive-to-semi massive sulphide mineralization. SLM23-042 returned 4.55m of 116g/t Ag,
Additional drillholes completed at Jackie in 2023 intersected steep gold-bearing fugitive calcite veins that graded up to 2m of 3.10g/t Au within 10m of 0.32g/t Au between 40m and 80m drilled depths.
Historic surface samples collected from epithermal veins at the Jackie Target have assayed up to 4,870g/t Ag with
Massive galena and pyrite dominant carbonate replacement mineralization, sampled just southeast of the epithermal vein showing at Jackie in 2024, returned an impressive 767g/t Ag,
Drilling at Silver Lime continues to demonstrate excellent continuity, scale, and grade across multiple mineralized centers. With over
The Company is currently drilling at the Laverdiere Copper Project while planning the next phase of 2025 drilling and surface expansion work for both projects.
