en.Wedoany.com Reported - Silver North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SNAG, OTCQB: TARSF, Frankfurt: I90) announced on June 15, 2026, that it has officially commenced drilling at its 100%-owned flagship Haldane Silver Project, located within the historic Keno Hill Silver District in Canada's Yukon Territory. Two diamond drills are currently operating on the property, with operations expected to continue through the fourth quarter of 2026. The drilling program is fully funded and target-driven, aiming to expand the main mineralized zone and test multiple new targets.
Silver North Resources Ltd. is a junior mining company focused on silver exploration. Its flagship asset, the Haldane Silver Project, covers 8,579 hectares and is easily accessible, situated 25 kilometers west of Keno City, adjacent to Hecla Mining Inc.'s operating Keno Hill Silver Mine. This region is one of the highest-grade silver-producing areas in North America, having produced over 220 million ounces of silver since mining began in the early 20th century. The company has made three new discoveries of Keno Hill-style silver veins on the Haldane Project.
The 2026 drilling program revolves around two core objectives. One drill rig will focus on expanding the Main Zone target. Previously, the company identified mineralization in this area along a 100-meter strike length and extending approximately 300 meters down-dip from the surface. Notably, the 2025 drill hole HLD25-31 yielded the best results in the project's history, intersecting a 13.15-meter interval at a down-hole depth of 249.9 meters, averaging 818 g/t silver, 1.39 g/t gold, 2.54% lead, and 0.98% zinc. The other drill rig will be used to test other known and newly generated targets. These include the Bighorn target, which has only been tested by a single drill hole previously, as well as new targets identified through the recently completed SkyTEM airborne geophysical survey and surface work.
Jason Weber, President and CEO of Silver North, stated that the 2025 drilling results were encouraging, with hole HLD25-31 confirming the scale and continuity of high-grade silver mineralization in the main mineralized zone. He believes that with two drill rigs operating simultaneously and the emergence of new targets, the 2026 drilling program has the potential to deliver a transformative breakthrough for the company.
In addition to diamond drilling, field crews will conduct ground truthing of targets generated by the SkyTEM survey and carry out detailed geological mapping in areas such as the Main Zone, West Fault, and Middlecoff. The 2026 drilling season is expected to complete between 5,000 and 7,000 meters of drilling, with all field work anticipated to conclude by October. As part of a broader exploration strategy, the company is also advancing work on the Veronica Project and has reacquired the Tim Project. Drill results are expected to be released starting in July 2026.
