Coeur is planning to commence the 2024 program in June, with theintention of completing drilling, geochemical sampling and drill padand access development, with crews operating out of the Silvertip MineCamp. Approximately 2,000 metres of drilling is planned from up to sixdrill pads, testing the potential for CRD-style mineralization alongalmost 2,000 metres of strike length of prospective stratigraphy.Previous work has identified silver mineralization in trenches datingback to the 1980s. A 2022 program conducted by Coeur to verifyprevious trench sampling returned 468.1 g/t silver, 21.1% lead, and 0.3% zinc over 4.0 metres from one re-opened trench. Another, located approximately 200 metresalong strike, returned 265.0 g/tsilver, 6.7% lead and 0.9% zinc over 8.8 metres . Silver Northviews the Tim as a high priority exploration target as it exhibitssimilar geological characteristics to Coeur’s Silvertip Project.
