Americore Resources Corp. has advanced technical work at its Trinity Silver Project in Nevada following a site visit and geological review by SRK Consulting, with independent check sampling now underway.

SRK Consulting geologist Casey M. Hetman completed a two-day examination of the historical open pit and ten historical HQ drillholes stored in Reno. The review identified silver-bearing sulphide mineralization hosted predominantly in massive to fragmental rhyolite, alongside a steeply dipping structural zone along the northeastern pit wall. SRK's preliminary geological interpretation indicates the property represents a fault-controlled, low-sulfidation epithermal silver system with lead and zinc.

Independent check sampling has been initiated following the site visit. Three check samples from historical drill core intervals containing pyrite and black silver sulphide mineralization, along with one sample from an oxidized breccia stockpile near the open pit, were submitted to ALS in North Vancouver for analysis.

“The SRK site visit represents another important step in advancing Trinity. The presence of silver-bearing sulphide mineralization observed in historical core, together with the clearly identifiable structural control within the existing open pit, provides us with valuable information as we work toward updating the geological model and Mineral Resource Estimate.” — Justin Hanka, Chief Executive Officer

The technical review forms part of a staged work program leading toward an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and a supporting NI 43-101 Technical Report. Phase 1 involves compiling and validating historical databases and identifying data gaps. Phase 2 will update the resource model, incorporate current metal prices, recoveries and costs, and conduct conceptual pit optimization to demonstrate reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. Phase 3 will deliver the updated NI 43-101 technical report.

SRK has recommended a planned 2026-2027 drilling program designed to support resource expansion and upgrade portions of the current Inferred Mineral Resource to the Indicated category, while collecting representative core for metallurgical characterization.

Chief Executive Officer Justin Hanka outlined the company's immediate operational priorities following the review: “Our focus now is on completing the historical data compilation and validation work, receiving the independent check-assay results and moving systematically toward an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report. At the same time, we are planning a drilling program intended to test the potential to expand the existing resource and improve our understanding of this significant silver system.”
