Dolly Varden Silver 2025 Kitsalt Valley Drill Program Update
This update from Arcadia Economics focuses on Dolly Varden Silver and the completion of their 2025 Kitsalt Valley drill program. The program was extensive, totaling 56,131 meters across 84 drill holes.
Program Objectives and Results
The primary objectives of the drill program were to confirm resource expansion and identify new mineralization. Key findings include:
- Resource Expansion: The program successfully confirmed resource expansion at the Wolf and Homestake deposits through both step-out and infill drilling.
- New Mineralization: Exciting new mineralization was intersected at numerous exploration targets.
CEO Statement and Program Rationale
Sean Kungan, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver, highlighted the significance of the early results. He stated that "early season high-grade wide silver results from the Wolfane backed up the expansion of the 2025 drill program from 35,000 m to 55,000 m at the Kitsel Valley with successful stepouts and exciting new mineralized zones which give a clear line of sight on the next set of priorities." This indicates that initial positive findings led to an expansion of the planned drilling.
Program Allocation and Technology
The drill program was strategically divided:
- 60% of the drilling was conducted on the Dolly Varden property.
- 40% was allocated to the Homestake Ridge property.
To achieve precise targeting for step-out and infill drilling, the company utilized directional drilling technology.
Market Performance and Context
The news of the successful drill program has coincided with a positive market performance for Dolly Varden Silver. As of Monday, the company's stock was up 10%, and it has performed well throughout the year. This performance is attributed, in part, to the broader silver rally. The addition of ounces to their resource portfolio during a period of rising silver prices is seen as a key driver for such positive market days.
