Silver Dollar Completes Initial Exploration Drilling Program at the Ranger-Page Project in Idaho's Silver Valley
Silver Dollar Resources (SLVDF) has announced significant results from its initial exploration drilling program at the Ranger-Page Project in Idaho's Silver Valley. The program revealed multiple near-surface discoveries, with notable findings at two main targets:
At the Wyoming Target, drilling discovered silver, lead, and zinc mineralization with continuity along strike of 103 metres and depth extension of 75 metres below ground surface. A highlight intersection in Hole RP-2025-005 yielded 17.4 ounces per ton AgEq over 3.04 metres. The mineralization remains open along strike and down dip, with continuity established up to 165 metres east of the Blackhawk Mine.
At the Crown Point Target, exploration extended near-surface mineralization approximately 100 metres west of historic mine workings. The best intersection from hole RP-2025-002 returned 6.2 opt AgEq over 1.1 metres, including 18.7 opt AgEq over 0.21 metres. The project's strategic location within two miles of the Bunker Hill Ag-Pb-Zn Mine positions it favorably for future development.
Silver Dollar Resources (SLVDF) ha annunciato risultati significativi dal suo programma di perforazione esplorativa iniziale presso il Ranger-Page Project nella Silver Valley dell'Idaho. Il programma ha rivelato molteplici scoperte vicino alla superficie, con risultati notevoli in due obiettivi principali:
All'Wyoming Target, la perforazione ha scoperto mineralizzazione di argento, piombo e zinco con continuità lungo la vena di 103 metri e un'estensione in profondità di 75 metri sotto la superficie terrestre. Un'intersezione di rilievo nel foro RP-2025-005 ha restituito 17,4 once per tonnellata di AgEq su 3,04 metri. La mineralizzazione rimane aperta lungo la vena e in profondità, con continuità stabilita fino a 165 metri a est della Blackhawk Mine.
All'Crown Point Target, l'esplorazione ha esteso la mineralizzazione vicino alla superficie per circa 100 metri a ovest dei lavori minerari storici. La migliore intersezione dal foro RP-2025-002 ha restituito 6,2 opt di AgEq su 1,1 metri, inclusi 18,7 opt di AgEq su 0,21 metri. La posizione strategica del progetto, a meno di due miglia dalla Bunker Hill Ag-Pb-Zn Mine, lo posiziona favorevolmente per sviluppi futuri.

크라운 포인트 타겟에서는 탐사 작업이 역사적인 광산 작업에서 약 100미터 서쪽으로 지표 근처의 광물화를 확장했습니다. RP-2025-002 홀에서의 최상 교차점은 1.1미터에 걸쳐 6.2 opt AgEq를 기록했으며, 0.21미터에 걸쳐 18.7 opt AgEq를 포함하고 있습니다. 이 프로젝트의 전략적 위치는 Bunker Hill Ag-Pb-Zn 광산에서 2마일 이내에 있어 향후 개발에 유리한 조건을 제공합니다.
Silver Dollar Resources (SLVDF) a annoncé des résultats significatifs de son programme de forage exploratoire initial au Ranger-Page Project dans la Silver Valley de l'Idaho. Le programme a révélé plusieurs découvertes près de la surface, avec des résultats notables sur deux cibles principales :
Au Wyoming Target, le forage a découvert une minéralisation d'argent, de plomb et de zinc avec une continuité sur 103 mètres et une extension en profondeur de 75 mètres sous la surface du sol. Une intersection marquante dans le trou RP-2025-005 a donné 17,4 onces par tonne d'AgEq sur 3,04 mètres. La minéralisation reste ouverte le long de la veine et en profondeur, avec une continuité établie jusqu'à 165 mètres à l'est de la mine Blackhawk.
Au Crown Point Target, l'exploration a étendu la minéralisation près de la surface à environ 100 mètres à l'ouest des travaux miniers historiques. La meilleure intersection du trou RP-2025-002 a retourné 6,2 opt d'AgEq sur 1,1 mètre, y compris 18,7 opt d'AgEq sur 0,21 mètre. La position stratégique du projet, à moins de deux miles de la mine Bunker Hill Ag-Pb-Zn, le positionne favorablement pour un développement futur.
Silver Dollar Resources (SLVDF) hat bedeutende Ergebnisse aus seinem ersten Erkundungsbohrprogramm im Ranger-Page-Projekt im Silver Valley, Idaho, bekannt gegeben. Das Programm offenbarte mehrere Entdeckungen in der Nähe der Oberfläche, mit bemerkenswerten Ergebnissen an zwei Hauptzielen:
Am Wyoming-Ziel entdeckte die Bohrung Silber-, Blei- und Zinkmineralisierungen mit einer Kontinuität entlang des Erzganges von 103 Metern und einer Tiefenausdehnung von 75 Metern unter der Erdoberfläche. Eine herausragende Schnittstelle im Bohrloch RP-2025-005 ergab 17,4 Unzen pro Tonne AgEq über 3,04 Meter. Die Mineralisierung bleibt entlang des Erzganges und in der Tiefe offen, mit einer bis zu 165 Meter östlich der Blackhawk Mine etablierten Kontinuität.
Am Crown Point-Ziel erweiterte die Erkundung die mineralisierten Zonen in der Nähe der Oberfläche etwa 100 Meter westlich der historischen Bergbauarbeiten. Die beste Schnittstelle aus Bohrloch RP-2025-002 lieferte 6,2 opt AgEq über 1,1 Meter, einschließlich 18,7 opt AgEq über 0,21 Meter. Die strategische Lage des Projekts, weniger als zwei Meilen von der Bunker Hill Ag-Pb-Zn Mine entfernt, positioniert es günstig für zukünftige Entwicklungen.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2025) - Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV) (OTCQX: SLVDF) (FSE: 4YW) ("Silver Dollar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from multiple near surface discoveries at the Ranger-Page Project, located on the west side of the prolific Coeur d'Alene Mining District in northern Idaho.
Mineralized intersections at the Wyoming Target indicate exploration remains open along strike and down dip, with mineralized continuity established up to 165 metres east of the Blackhawk Mine.
Multiple intersections at Crown Point Target extend mineralization west of historic workings by 100 metres.
The Ranger-Page project is ideally situated within two miles of the Bunker Hill Ag-Pb-Zn Mine, where the restart of full nameplate production is expected in the first half of 2026.

Wyoming Target
Exploration drilling at Wyoming focused on testing ground induced polarization (IP) anomalies identified adjacent to the historic mine workings, extending mineralization below the historic Wyoming underground workings, and investigating the gap between the Wyoming Target and the Blackhawk Mine. All four drill holes discovered silver (Ag), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) mineralization, demonstrating continuity along strike of 103 metres and a depth extension of 75 metres below ground surface. Hole RP-2025-005 (Figure 2) intercepted 3.04 metres of 17.4 ounces per ton (opt) AgEq, demonstrating the exploration upside for this target in future drilling campaigns and the potential to relate Wyoming mineralization to the on-strike projection of the Blackhawk Mine.

"We are encouraged by the fact that our initial results at Wyoming and Crown Point are comparable to those from other projects on the west side of the Coeur d'Alene Mining District," said Dale Moore, Silver Dollar's Technical Advisor, and owner of Tamarack Geological Services. "We are also interested in the low CapEx potential to define near-surface resources within two miles of the Bunker Hill Mine."
