Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2026) - ICG Silver & Gold Ltd. (CSE: ICG) (FSE: JI0) (OTC Pink: ICGSF) ("ICG" or the "Company") a precious minerals exploration Company advancing the
Major Drilling (TSX: MDI) is one of the world's leading providers of specialized drilling services to the mining industry, with operations spanning North America, South America, Australia, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Established in 1980 and headquartered in Moncton, New Brunswick, Major Drilling supports mineral exploration and mine development projects through a comprehensive range of drilling services and technical expertise.
"We are very pleased to have engaged Major Drilling to conduct our 3,000-metre drill program set to commence later this month," commented President & CEO, Steven Sirbovan. "Their significant expertise and deep experience in executing global drill campaigns give us a high degree of confidence in both the quality and efficiency of the work to come. This is an exciting milestone for our team as we advance our understanding of the Project's potential alongside a partner of Major Drilling's calibre."
The initial drill program includes 3,000 meters of reverse circulation (RC) drilling and is scheduled to commence in June 2026.
The program will focus on multiple high-priority target areas across the District, including (see Figure 1):
- Battle Mountain (newly staked expansion area)
- East Pediment
- Grand Prize
- Kings Vein
- Modoc
- Silica

These targets were refined through the Company's recently completed district-scale geological modeling and database compilation initiative, which integrated more than 40,000 meters of historical drilling alongside geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets.
Phase 1 Drill Program
The Phase 1 Drill Program is designed to systematically evaluate several structurally controlled silver-gold targets across the Tuscarora District.
Initial drilling will utilize RC methods to:
- Rapidly test near-surface mineralization
- Evaluate extensions of historically mineralized zones
- Refine mineralized zones and geological interpretation
- Establish potential collar locations for future core drilling
The Company expects the staged RC-first approach to provide flexibility for rapid target refinement while maintaining cost efficiency.
District-Scale Exploration Strategy
The Company's exploration strategy is centered on evaluating the Project as a broader district-scale mineralized system rather than a series of isolated targets. Recent interpretation work indicates that several target zones may be connected by major structural corridors that host both shallow epithermal mineralization and deeper feeder-style systems.

Forward-looking statements in this news release include, without limitation, statements related to ICG's exploration plans, including the anticipated Phase 1 Drill Program, its scope, timing, targets and methodology; the potential for shared or overlapped mineralizing episodes; the identification of feeder structures and structural controls on mineralization; the Company's strategy to consolidate and control a district-scale land position; and the potential to expand mineralization laterally and at depth. Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, including assumptions regarding the availability of financing to fund exploration activities, the receipt of necessary permits and regulatory approvals, the accuracy of the Company's geological interpretations and models, and the reliability of historical data, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include market prices, continued availability of capital and financing, exploration risks and uncertainties, the ability to obtain necessary permits and regulatory approvals, changes in environmental and other applicable legislation, the uncertainty of mineral exploration and development, title risks, reliance on key personnel, and general economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
