This action consolidates ownership across 13.2 km2, supporting a coordinated approach to exploration, permitting, and future drilling. The patented claims include the historic Horn Silver Mine, which produced approximately 17 million ounces of silver and 30,000 ounces of gold. Recent sampling from unpatented claims returned high-grade silver, gold, and copper results, highlighting multiple exploration targets. Exploration activities will now advance across priority targets, including Horn Silver Mine Extensions, Gossan Target, Buckhorn, and Imperial, with a maiden drilling program planned for 2026.
