Earlier this month, Dolly Varden Silver Corp. (Ticker: DV.v or DOLLF for US investors) shared more results from its 2024 exploration drill program, which focused on the Wolf Vein within its Kitsault Valley Project, located in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle.
Dolly Varden’s Kitsault Valley Project encompasses 163 sq. km of high-grade silver and gold resources, including the Dolly Varden and Homestake Ridge Projects, and is well-positioned in a prolific mining region known for other major deposits such as Eskay Creek and Brucejack.
The project's Wolf Vein, hosted in Jurassic-age volcanic rocks, continues to show excellent potential for high-grade silver mineralization, with recent drilling revealing significant mineralization both at depth and toward the surface.
Dolly Varden's latest drill holes demonstrate increased vertical extent and confirm consistent thicknesses as the Wolf Vein plunges to the southwest, with results including:
-
- 654 g/t Ag, 0.47% Pb and 0.57% Zn over 21.48m, including 1,000 g/t Ag, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.62% Pb and 0.64% Zn over 7.70m
-
-
513 g/t Ag, 2.95% Pb and 1.82% Zn over 27.19m, including 2,520 g/t Ag, 0.34 g/t Au, 0.18% Pb and 0.88% Zn over 2.80m
CEO Shawn Khunkhun expressed optimism about these results, highlighting the consistent grades and thicknesses of silver, as well as the increase in base metal values at depth.
This success has led Dolly Varden to expand its drill program from 25,000 meters to 32,000 meters, with three rigs currently in operation. The exploration is aimed at expanding both the lateral and vertical extents of the Wolf Vein, with further step-out drilling planned.
