Silver North Completes Veronica Exploration Program in Yukon

Silver North Resources Ltd. has completed its 2026 field exploration program at the Veronica Property in the Yukon’s Silvertip District. The program aimed to expand a multi-element soil geochemical anomaly that currently covers an area of 1.2 km by 1 km, focusing on the Lodge and Cooper showings. These showings have returned significant mineralization, including float with 2,860 g/t silver and an outcropping fault with 33.2 g/t silver.
The exploration efforts also included investigating several target areas defined by airborne magnetics and VTEM geophysical anomalies. Detailed prospecting and mapping were conducted within the anomaly to better understand and expand the known mineralized zones. The company collected 1,112 soil geochemical samples, including 60 from the adjacent Tim Property, and 53 rock samples as part of the program.
The primary objective of the 2026 program was to build on the success of the 2025 program, which identified silver mineralization in float and outcrop in stratigraphy that appears to be prospective for Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) style mineralization, similar to that seen at Coeur Mining’s Silvertip Mine Project, located 11 km to the southwest of Veronica.
"We are encouraged by the results of this year's exploration program at Veronica," said Jason Weber, President and CEO of Silver North Resources Ltd. "The continued identification of high-grade silver mineralization and the expansion of the soil geochemical anomaly provide a strong foundation for our future exploration plans."
The company's exploration efforts are focused on expanding the known mineralized zones and identifying new targets within the project area. With Silver North fully funded for its 2026 and 2027 drilling campaigns, the company is well-positioned to further advance its exploration efforts and potentially uncover significant new resources at the Veronica Property.
The exploration program is part of Silver North's broader strategy to develop its silver projects in the Yukon, including its flagship Haldane Silver Project, located next to Hecla Mining Inc.’s Keno Hill Mine. The company continues to explore opportunities to increase the value of its asset portfolio through targeted exploration and development activities.
