Sun Silver Limited has intersected broad silver and antimony mineralisation in drill hole MV0004 at the Maverick Springs Project in Nevada, USA, returning an 89-metre interval grading 70 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 126.5 metres downhole.

The assay results from the south-central portion of the current mineral resource include a higher-grade zone of 38.3 metres at 100 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 134 metres, featuring a 0.8-metre interval grading 1,296 grams per tonne silver equivalent. Gold grades across the main intercept averaged 0.2 grams per tonne, rising to 0.3 grams per tonne within the higher-grade core.

Drill hole MV0004 also returned extensive antimony intervals starting from 70.6 metres downhole, positioned approximately 60 metres above the delineated mineral resource estimate boundaries. Cumulative antimony mineralisation exceeded 100 metres, including intervals of 43.7 metres at 0.06% antimony from 70.6 metres—with a 19.3-metre subsection at 0.1% antimony—and 64.7 metres at 0.06% antimony from 134 metres, including a 16.5-metre zone at 0.1% antimony.

"MV0004 is another strong result from Maverick Silver, returning almost 90 metres of continuous silver- gold mineralisation and reinforcing the scale and continuity of the current Resource."

"Importantly, the hole also intersected extensive antimony mineralisation commencing approximately 60 metres above the current MRE and extending across more than 100 metres of cumulative intervals."

Sun Silver plans to conduct further drilling, geological interpretation, and metallurgical assessment to evaluate the economic significance of the antimony mineralisation and intends to establish a maiden mineral resource estimate for antimony at Maverick Springs.

Nearby explorer NevGold Corp. reported drill results from its Limousine Butte project within the surrounding district in August 2026, intersecting 1.16% antimony over 3.0 metres within a broader 50.3-metre interval.
