Synergy Metals Corp. has commenced the solicitation of contractors and field service providers to execute the Phase 1 exploration program at its flagship Dale Property in Ontario's Swayze greenstone belt.

Budgeted at approximately $157,493, the six-week field program is the first exploration work Synergy Metals will undertake as a standalone public company. The property comprises 98 unpatented single-cell mining claims covering approximately 1,980.5 hectares.

The Phase 1 program includes data compilation, a B-horizon soil geochemistry program of approximately 1,000 samples, a LiDAR survey, and excavator trenching with channel sampling to test induced polarization chargeability highs. The property has never been drilled, although prior work includes a 2020 grab sample returning 3.82 g/t gold and a 2021 trenching program yielding 2.6 g/t gold from Trench 3.

“This is the moment a plan becomes a program,” said Michael Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Synergy Metals Corp. “What it has never had is a systematic, properly funded, modern exploration program to pull those signals together into drill targets. That is exactly what Phase 1 is built to do, and putting contracts out to tender is how we turn a recommended program into boots on the ground.”

Phase 1 soil sampling results will be analyzed to define potential gold-bearing structures for a contemplated Phase 2 program consisting of 1,500 metres of diamond drilling, which remains contingent on initial results.
