(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - December 5, 2025– Global Stocks News - Sponsored content disseminated on behalf ofDolly Varden Silver. On December 4, 2025 Dolly Varden Silver (TSX-V:DV) (NYSE MKT: DVS) (FSE: DVQ) reported drill results that expand the high-grade gold mineralized plunge within the Homestake Silver deposit.
“The expansion of the wide, high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the HomestakeSilver Deposit continues to demonstrate the continuity and robustnessof the potentially bulk undergroundminable zone ,” stated Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO ofDolly Varden.
Bulk mining generally has lower mining costs, allowingfor a lower cut-off grade, increasing the tonnage per day and thenumber of ounces mined.
Drill hole HR25-475 is a 42-meter step-out to the north of holeHR24-448 ( February 3, 2025 release ) along the plunge of themain gold and silver zone at the Homestake Silver deposit.
The high-grade core of the HomestakeSilver Deposit has been traced for over 300 meters verticallyand extends for over 1,000 metersalong plunge . The intercept occurs at the upper edge of thehigh-grade trend.
A total of 56,131 meters were drilled in 86 drill holes during the2025 season by Dolly Varden, with approximately 40% of the metersdrilled at Homestake Ridge focused on step-outs and local infill along the wider, high-grade goldplunge at Homestake Silver.
DV is using directional drilling technology to precisely target areasfor step-out and infill holes at Homestake Silver. Drill hole HR25-475was drilled as a single hole utilizing directional drilling toprecisely intercept the target within the mineralized zone.
Although historically considered a silver-rich gold deposit, recentdrilling at Homestake Silver has defined a shallow north-plungingdilation zone that reveals a wide mineralized interval with increased frequency of high-grade goldveins and vein breccias. These breccias show a shift towards a gold-rich system towards the north. The deposit remains open along plunge and at depth.

"This identification of wide, high-grade gold mineralizationrepresents a significant metallogenicbreakthrough at Homestake Ridge ; this style of mineralizationis identical to the idled, PremierGold Mine [owned by Ascot Resources] located 45km to thenorthwest,” stated Khunkhun.
The Premier Gold Mine has been on care and maintenance since June 25,2025. The mill has been refurbished and commissioned at a rate of2,500 tonnes per day. A new water treatment plant has been built andoperating since February 2024, and there is a 128-bed camp.
On October 23, 2025 Ascot Resources announced that it had entered intoan advisory services agreement with Fiore Management andAdvisory Corporation to assist Ascot with restructuring,refinancing and enhancing the leadership team.
Dolly Varden operates within the Fiore Group offices which includes ateam of engineers, geologists and financial experts lead by FrankGiustra.
“Gold is becoming increasingly important to the economics of apotential future Dolly Varden mine in the Kitsault Valley,” Rob vanEgmond, VP of Exploration, told Global Stocks News (GSN).
“We’ve developed a number of high-grade underground systems in theKitsault Valley that would benefit from a 'hub and spoke'production scenario, where multiple deposits feed into one mill,”continued van Egmond. “The Premier Mill is already built, andit's idle, so that is something we are keeping an eye on.”

“With gold selling for CDN $5,870/ounce and silver at CDN$80/ounce,” van Egmond told GSN, “our team is encouraged tointersect 14.50 g/t gold and 75 g/t silver over 21.18 meters in the latestassays.”
The price of gold has risen 60% in the last 12 months, while silverhas performed even better, with an 82% price appreciation.
“A major factor behind silver’s rally this year has beensignificant supply-chain issues,” reported Kitco News on December 2, 2025 . “Theyear began with massive amounts of silver flowing into America asbullion banks and market participantsbuilt a substantial stockpile to avoid potential tariffs fromPresident Donald Trump.”
“The current rally is no longer dominated by retail enthusiasm, withinstitutional buyers — particularly macro funds and family officesseeking to hedge against slow-moving but entrenched inflationary pressures ,and the risk of a debtspiral ,” wrote Ole Hansen, head of Commodity Strategy at SaxoBank.
“According to Treasury data, in the nine weeks since the beginningof the fiscal year, the US government has spent $104 billion in interest on its $38trillion borrowing burden,” reports Fortune Magazine on December 4, 2025 .“That’s more than $11 billion a week and already represents 15% offederal spending in the current fiscal year”.
With 154 million Americans paying income tax, each US taxpayer will beon the hook for $3,800 this fiscal year - not to pay teachers’salaries or build warships - just to service the national debt.
The Congressional BudgetOffice projects a $1.7 trillion deficit for 2026, an increase over 2025.
Ten years ago, Dolly Varden was a “silver pureplay”. In the last few years, while expanding its silverinventory, the company has hit significant gold intercepts. DV’smetal value is now approximately a 50/50 split between silver andgold.
“Persistent fiscal deficits, a softening labour market and reneweddiscussions about long-term debt sustainability have strengthened investor appetite for hardassets ,” confirmed Hansen.
“We will continue to release results from the 2025 drill program asthey are received,” stated Khunkhun in the December 4, 2025 pressrelease.
