What's Happening?
Core Silver has announced the results of its 2025 soil sampling program at the Laverdiere copper project in the Atlin Mining District of north-western British Columbia, Canada. The survey covered an area of 1.4km x 5.6km and involved the collection of 231 soil samples. The findings revealed a multi-kilometre copper-molybdenum mineralisation corridor, expanding known deposits by 1.7km north-west of the Main Skarn Zone. The soil anomalies included peak values of 394 parts per million (ppm) copper and 227ppm molybdenum, significantly surpassing local background levels. These results align with existing high-grade areas, supporting the continuity of mineralisation. New priority targets, termed Anomalies Y and Z, were identified, displaying strong
copper-molybdenum signatures and are earmarked for future drilling. The geochemical data suggests a large porphyry-skarn system that remains open in several directions and at depth.
Why It's Important?
The discovery of a large copper-molybdenum system at Laverdiere is significant for Core Silver as it enhances the project's potential for future development and exploration. The confirmation of extensive mineralisation over a 5km area with multiple broad zones open in several directions increases the likelihood of discovering economically viable deposits. This could lead to increased investment and development in the region, potentially boosting local economies and creating job opportunities. Additionally, the presence of high-grade mineralisation aligns with existing geological and geophysical data, providing a clear roadmap for future exploration and drilling efforts. The expansion of known deposits could also position Core Silver as a key player in the copper and molybdenum markets, which are critical for various industrial applications.
What's Next?
Core Silver plans to advance the Laverdiere project by targeting the newly identified anomalies for future drilling. The company aims to further delineate the extent of the mineralisation and assess the economic viability of the deposits. Continued exploration and drilling efforts will focus on confirming the presence of a mineralised porphyry system at depth. The results of these activities will guide future development plans and potential partnerships or investments. As the project progresses, Core Silver will likely engage with local communities and stakeholders to address environmental and regulatory considerations, ensuring sustainable development practices.
