SILVER ONE COMMENCES DRILLING AT ITS HIGH-GRADE PHOENIX SILVER PROJECT, ARIZONA
DRILL TARGETS INCLUDE VEIN STRUCTURES THAT ARE POTENTIAL SOURCE OF MULTIPLE VEIN FRAGMENTS INCLUDING A 417 POUND NATIVE SILVER-RICH VEIN FRAGMENT
The main drill target is the 417 Target Area which includes the potential source of very high-grade silver vein fragments located around the 417 pound (189 kg) vein fragment found in the central part of the property (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). This vein fragment was not assayed, as it is a collectors' specimen, but specific gravity tests indicate a very high-grade silver content of up to 70% native silver (see News Release of
Program Details and Background
The drilling program consists of 2,500 metres including up to 40 diamond drill holes off 13 different drill pads (Figure 1). Seven priority silver and polymetallic targets have been delineated to date using a drone-mounted magnetic survey and via geological mapping conducted in selected areas of the property (Figure 3). Rock sampling, soil geochemistry and geophysical surveys (self-potential – an electrical surveying method used in mineral exploration) conducted over selected areas have also delineated anomalies that coincide with exploration targets and highlight the importance of the 417 silver fragment target and
The current drill permit encompasses only the 417 Target area (Figure 1 and 3). This target includes part of the 417 vein as well as several other vein-structures. This area is considered the top priority given that it is the potential source of most of the large silver fragments found on the property to date. It is worth noting however, that although evidence of silver mineralization has been identified elsewhere in the property, less than 50% of the property has been prospected and geochemically sampled and only a fraction (417 Target area) has been mapped in detail. Over 200 smaller silver samples have been collected to date from various areas on the property. Thus, Silver One management believes that with continued exploration several more areas will yield positive results and is optimistic about the larger scale exploration potential of the property.

Figure 3 – Map of the Phoenix Silver property, showing main veins and targets. Much of the north half of the property is covered by Tertiary and Quaternary gravel and alluvium and has not been mapped in detail. Target # 1 (or 417 Target Area) encompasses the 417 lb silver fragment, multiple veins (see figure 1) and the permitted area for drilling. Targets south of the 417 area, include polymetallic veins as well as alteration zones potentially associated with porphyry-style mineralization.
