Dolly Varden Silver’s 100% held, 163 sq. km. Kitsault Valley project is located in the southern tip of the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, just south of the high-grade Brucejack and Eskay Creek gold mines.
The project hosts a high-grade mineral resource of silver and gold and is considered prospective for hosting further precious metal deposits.
The project is rare having significant resources of silver in a safe jurisdiction.
Benefits to shareholders of the acquisition include:
Surface geochemistry of gold and silver on the Kitsault Valley along with geophysics and geological modelling suggest discovery potential of additional mineral deposits between South Reef and Wolf deposits.
The Company presently has two technical reports for the Kitsault Valley project, one for the Dolly Varden silver resource and one for the Homestake Ridge gold and silver resource.
Combined silver and gold resources of the Kitsault Valley project include:
