Silver North Advances Haldane Drilling and Launches Veronica Field Program in Yukon
Silver North Resources Ltd. has completed approximately 2,550 metres of drilling across 10 holes at its flagship Haldane Silver Project in the historic Keno Hill Silver District of central Yukon Territory, building on the commencement of drilling in late June.
Two drill rigs have been operating at the property, focusing on expanding the Main Fault target beyond its currently defined 100 metres of strike and 150 metres of downdip extension. Previous drilling at the Main Fault intersected high-grade mineralization highlighted by 818 g/t silver, 1.39 g/t gold, 2.54% lead, and 0.98% zinc over 13.15 metres in hole HLD25-31. One rig has now been shifted to the Bighorn Target to follow up on anomalous silver mineralization that returned 125.7 g/t silver over 2.35 metres in a 2019 drillhole, while the second rig continues testing the Main Fault structure.
Core samples from the first five completed holes have been shipped to ALS Laboratories, with analytical results expected beginning in September. The 2026 drilling campaign is scheduled to run into October. Haldane is located next to Hecla Mining's Keno Hill Mine Property.
Concurrently, Silver North has commenced its 2026 field program at the Veronica Property in the Silvertip District of southeast Yukon. The three-week program aims to expand a 1.2 km by 1 km open-ended multi-element soil geochemical anomaly and will involve collecting approximately 850 soil samples. Prospecting and mapping will follow up on the Lodge and Cooper showings—where mineralized float graded up to 2,860 g/t silver and outcropping fault structures graded 33.2 g/t silver—alongside targets generated from earlier airborne LiDAR, magnetics, and VTEM surveys.
“The 2025 program at Veronica was highly successful on many fronts,” commented Jason Weber, President & CEO. “We expanded the footprint of the Betty soil geochemical anomaly and identified a potential mineralized source in float and bedrock, while mapping indicated that the area has stratigraphy favourable for hosting CRD style silver-lead-zinc mineralization. The 2026 program aims to build on last year’s success, as well as following up on new targets generated from our airborne LiDAR, magnetics and VTEM surveying conducted earlier this season.”

Meanwhile, silver traded at US$64.95 per ounce, representing an 11.78% increase over the 30-day period ending August 13, 2026.
