Diablo Resources Completes Horn Silver Project Acquisition And Exercises Option

Diablo Resources Limited has completed its acquisition of Antler Resources LLC, securing an 80% interest in 101 unpatented claims and option rights over 101 patented claims at the Horn Silver Project in Beaver County, Utah.
Following the transaction, Diablo will now exercise the option over patented claims 3 to 5 within the project area, with all conditions precedent under the option agreement satisfied. The 13.2-square-kilometre project hosts the historic Horn Silver Mine, which has past production of approximately 17 million ounces of silver and 30,000 ounces of gold at reported grades of 604 g/t silver and 1.04 g/t gold.
“Securing our interest in the Horn Silver Project provides a clear pathway for Diablo to advance one of Utah's most compelling historic polymetallic districts.”
— Lyle Thorne, CEO
The acquisition consolidates a district-scale footprint located approximately 15 kilometres from the company's existing Star Range project. Diablo completed a A$3.5 million placement in July 2026 to fund ongoing exploration across both Utah assets.
“Together with our ongoing work at Star Range, the Company now controls two strategically located projects within a highly prospective mineral belt. With ownership consolidated, we can move forward confidently with on-ground exploration (including drilling, geophysics, and broader district-scale evaluation) across both Horn Silver and Star Range Projects over the coming months.”
— Lyle Thorne, CEO
With ownership now finalized, the company intends to advance on-ground exploration, including drilling, geophysics, and broader district-scale evaluation across both Horn Silver and Star Range in the coming months.
