Sidney Resources Corporation Announces Strategic Acquisition of Silver Monarch Property in Warren District, Idaho

Rhea-AI Summary

Sidney Resources (OTC PINK:SDRC) has acquired the historic Silver Monarch mine and 40 acres of private patented property in Pony Meadows, Idaho. The property, formerly known as the Keystone Mine, dates back to the 1870s and historically yielded up to $80 per ton when gold was at $19 per ounce.

Recent XRF testing has confirmed significant concentrations of gold, silver, platinum, and other valuable metals, including iridium and palladium. The property features five distinct veins and includes historical shafts reaching 130 feet, though geological evidence suggests vein structures extend beyond 2,000 feet.

The acquisition provides operational control entirely on private land, minimizing regulatory hurdles. The property also includes Web Creek's headwaters, where the company plans to conduct water quality assessments and implement bio-remediation techniques where necessary.

Quote from Leadership

"The acquisition of the Silver Monarch is a pivotal step in advancing our Warren Project," said Dan Hally, COO of Sidney Resources Corporation. "This strategic purchase allows us to fast-track exploration and production on private land while leveraging historical insights to identify high-value opportunities."

"The recent purchase of the Silver Monarch Property adds to an extensive mineral package already controlled by Sidney Resources within the Warren Mining District, central Idaho. The Silver Monarch was a group of patented mines centered on a vein stockwork system that targeted high grade gold and silver pockets similar to many of the other large producing mines of the district. Initial Geochem data taken from dump material in the fall of 2024 indicates the property has serious merit. Strategic base metals and REE's stand out from the initial sampling.

The Silver Monarch adds an additional +/- 40 acres of deeded patents that are strategically located and will be crucial for future mine planning. The purchase is a great fit and will play a key role in the strategy to expand operations to the south-east part of the district," said Steve Dobson, Chief Geologist for Sidney Resources.

Future Outlook

Sidney Resources plans to:

• Accelerate exploration activities to validate deeper vein extensions.

• Provide ongoing updates on development progress and economic assessments.

• Demonstrate leadership in responsible mining practices that benefit stakeholders and the environment alike.
