Millennium Silver Corp. has mobilized a drone magnetic survey crew to the Silver Peak silver-gold project in Esmeralda County, Nevada, to map structures hosting historic mineralization ahead of upcoming drilling.

SJ Geophysics Ltd., with field support from Zonge International Inc., is flying the high-resolution UAV magnetic survey across the property, covering approximately 420 line-kilometers at 25-meter and 50-meter line spacing. The survey is designed to map structures that host historic mineralization at the past-producing Nivloc and 16-to-1 mines, supporting target generation on satellite veins.

The Nivloc Structure hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 2,653,000 tonnes grading 96.85 g/t silver and 0.67 g/t gold, with less than 20% of the structure tested by drilling. Millennium Silver owns 100% of the Silver Peak project through its U.S. subsidiary, comprising 211 lode mining claims covering 1,697.99 hectares.

Prior to mobilizing the drone survey, Millennium Silver secured U.S. Bureau of Land Management Exploration Notice acceptance for diamond drilling through August 12, 2028, and engaged Robison Engineering Company, Inc. for water infrastructure development. The company plans to complete at least 10 diamond-drill holes across up to five drill pads during its 2026 resource-expansion drilling program.

“The drone mag crew is on the ground. This is the lowest-impact way to put a modern structural map under Nivloc and the untested strike beyond it, alongside the recently accepted BLM Exploration Notice and the water-infrastructure work already underway. We will use the results to more clearly focus the 2026 drill program.” — Robert Drago, President and CEO

Maps, 3D inversions, and interpretation from the drone survey are targeted for completion within about six weeks of field operations concluding.
