Silver Hammer Mining Corp. has completed its 2026 summer field work program at the Eliza Silver Project in White Pine County, Nevada. The surface exploration program included geological mapping alongside the collection of 58 rock samples and 396 soil samples to refine and prioritize drill targets ahead of a planned drill program.

The field program covered the Eliza North Grid Area, which encompasses the Belmont, Passayank, and California historical small-scale mineralized silver mine workings. These historical workings are road-accessible and situated within 670 metres of each other, displaying a collective multi-element geochemical anomaly stretching over 700 metres. The Passayank historical mine area proved to be the strongest multi-element rock and soil anomaly in the grid.

Silver Hammer also extended its soil grid further southward by 75 metres over the New Western gold-silver anomaly, which sits on the edge of the wider soil grid and adjacent to the Eberhardt fault zone. A total of 454 samples from the program were submitted to Bureau Veritas Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada.

Silver Hammer holds a 100% interest in three exploration-stage silver properties in Idaho and Nevada: the Silver Strand Project, the Eliza Silver Project, and the Silverton Silver Mine Project. The company is advancing its Plan of Operations through the U.S. Forest Service permitting process to secure final approval for Eliza, with the drill program scheduled to execute once all permits are received.

“The completion of this surface exploration program represents another important step in advancing Eliza toward drilling. The additional sampling, geochemical work, and geological mapping will help us refine and prioritize our high-quality drill targets, while we are progressing our Plan of Operations through the permitting process, which has experienced longer review timelines due to a significant increase in exploration activity and permit applications. We believe Eliza has significant exploration upside and this field work positions us to move efficiently into the next phase of exploration once permits are received.”
