Sun Silver Limited has returned broad high-grade silver, gold and antimony results from its ongoing 2026 exploration program at the Maverick Springs Project in Nevada, USA, including an intercept starting outside the current mineral resource estimate.

Drill hole MR25-235 returned 98.3 metres at 120.3 g/t silver equivalent from 173 metres downhole, comprising 65.7 g/t silver and 0.67 g/t gold. The intercept included a higher-grade zone of 47.6 metres at 200.6 g/t silver equivalent—featuring 119.6 g/t silver and 1.05 g/t gold—starting from 176.8 metres.

The drill hole also intersected mineralisation outside the existing resource model, yielding individual results up to 811.7 g/t silver equivalent, including 769 g/t silver and 0.5 g/t gold. In addition, the assay results demonstrated consistent antimony zones throughout the interval, returning 86.9 metres averaging 0.10% antimony from 175.3 metres, with individual assays reaching up to 1.23% antimony.

“Our latest drilling at the Maverick Silver Project in Nevada has delivered an exceptional 98.3m at 120g/t AgEq, including 47.6m at 201g/t AgEq, with the intercept starting outside the current Mineral Resource and highlighting significant resource growth potential. The associated 86.9m antimony zone averaging 0.1% Sb, with grades up to 1.2% Sb, further demonstrates the scale and multi-element potential of the Maverick mineralised system.”

Sun Silver acquired the Maverick Springs Project through a binding option agreement with Element79 Gold Corp. that closed in May 2024.

The company is conducting infill drilling during 2026 to advance the project's mineral resource toward JORC Indicated classification. Sun Silver is targeting the release of a scoping study for Maverick Springs at the end of 2026 or in early 2027.
