DRILLING PERMITS ON POTENTIAL HIGH-GRADE
SILVER TARGETS
VANCOUVER, BC, June 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Silver One Resources Inc. (TSXV: SVE)
(OTCQX: SLVRF) (FSE: BRK1) ("Silver One" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the discovery of additional copper and silver
prospects with up to 1,240 g/t Ag and 7.79% Cu in selected samples
(see Table 1, Figures 1 and 2 below and the Company's news release
of May 15, 2024). These samples were
collected in the southern portion of the property where multiple
copper and silver showings suggest potential for the discovery of
porphyry related copper-silver mineralization. This part of the
project is immediately northeast of the Freeport McMoRan Miami
copper mine and the recently discovered Ocelot porphyry project
being actively explored by BHP (see Figure 3 below).
Additionally, the structures thought to host the large silver
vein fragments (weighing up to 417 pounds and estimated to contain
up to 70% silver) are permitted for drilling (see Company's news
release of May 15, 2024 and Figure 4
below). The company is targeting Q3 2024 for this drill
program.
Highlights:
- New copper showings on recently acquired claims highlight
the potential for porphyry related copper mineralization
immediately along strike from the Freeport McMoRan
Miami copper mine and the recently discovered Ocelot porphyry
copper project being explored by BHP.
- Highly anomalous copper values in selected samples range
between 0.1% to 7.79% and silver between 1 g/t and 1,240 g/t
containing locally abundant lead and zinc in veins and
breccias.
- New silver fragments discoveries reported in the company's
news release of May 15, 2024 extend
the area of potential silver vein mineralization for 600+ metres to
the west of the previously discovered 417 lb (189 kg) angular and
unabraded vein fragment that was estimated to contain over 70%
silver and an 18.7 lb (8.5 kg) specimen assaying 459,000 g/t
(14,688 oz/t) silver (see news release dated February 5, 2020 and May
15, 2024).
- The project is permitted for drilling on these potentially
high-grade silver targets (See Figure 4).
Greg Crowe, President and CEO
of Silver One commented: "These additional strongly anomalous
copper and silver select samples collected from numerous showings,
along with previously collected samples, highlight the wide
distribution of copper-silver mineralization throughout the
southern portion of the Phoenix Silver project. The property lies
to the northeast of Freeport McMoRan's copper producing Miami
Complex and BHP's Ocelot porphyry copper exploration
project.
Phoenix Silver lies at the northeast margin of a 30+ km long
porphyry copper and silver belt and has excellent potential to host
high-grade silver mineralization as well as porphyry related
copper-silver mineralization. Some of the deposits in the area that
have reported silver associated with copper mineralization include
the Pinto, Miami, Silver King and
Silver Queen mines (see USGS Porphyry Copper Deposit Model –
Scientific Investigations report 2010-5070-B).
A drill permit has been secured to test structures believed
to host the very high-grade silver vein fragments (see Company News
Release of March 2, 2023). Emphasis
will be placed on the 417 vein structure, where numerous high-grade
silver fragments have been located along 600+ meters of this
east-west trending system. These veins are thought to be the host
to the angular and unabraded fragment weighing 417 lb (189 kg) and
estimated by specific gravity methods to contain 70% silver. Assays
of smaller fragments returned up to 459,000 g/t (14,688 oz/T)
silver (see Company News Release of February
5, 2020 and May 15,
2024).
The Phoenix Silver project continues to surprise, not only in
the size and distribution of mineralized areas, but also in the
high copper and silver grades associated with the mineralized
systems. What started as a rare opportunity in potentially
identifying veins of extremely rich silver mineralization, has now
expanded to include large areas of copper-silver porphyry
potential. The Phoenix Silver project is truly a unique and
exceptional exploration opportunity."

Elevated copper and silver values with abundant manganese, iron
oxides and local base metals (lead and zinc) shown in Table 1
above, are representative of the mineralization in veins,
hydrothermal breccias, and fracture systems that are widespread
throughout the southern part of the property. These values along
with elevated molybdenum (to 239.9 ppm in sample 41558) and local
chlorite hydrothermal alteration suggest the presence of intrusive
centered hydrothermal systems and are distal manifestations
potentially related to the margins of porphyry copper deposits.
Examples of these manifestations can be seen at the Silver Queen
and Silver King mines which are the surface expression of the Magma
and Resolution copper deposits, and the Old
Dominion vein which is the surface expression of the Ocelot
porphyry copper discovery. Polymetallic epithermal veins similar to
those found in the property (see Fig 1) also occur in the periphery
of other copper deposits such as Butte
Montana.
Silver One plans to drill the high-grade silver targets. It will
also continue the geologic reconnaissance mapping and sampling of
the new claims staked in October and December 2023.
Analytical and QA/QC
Thirty five chip and dump select samples were collected by
Company geologists during property visits conducted in March and
April 2024. Samples varying in size
from approximately 2 kg to 5 kg were submitted to Skyline Assayers
and Laboratories ("Skyline") in Tucson,
AZ, USA (ISO accredited Laboratory, certificate #2353.01
ISO/IEC 170025:2017) for sample preparation and analysis. Samples
were analyzed by ICP/MS for forty-one elements with aqua regia
digestion. Over limit copper, lead and zinc were analyzed by
ore-grade four acid digestion ICP/OES (0.5 g sample). Gold as well
as overlimit silver were analyzed by 30 g FA/Gravimetric assay).
Skyline inserts blanks, standards and includes duplicate analyses
to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment calibration.

About Silver One
Silver One is focused on the exploration and development of
quality silver projects. The Company owns a 100%-interest in its
flagship project, the past-producing Candelaria Mine located in
Nevada. Potential reprocessing of
silver from the historic leach pads at Candelaria provides an
opportunity for possible near-term production. Additional
opportunities lie in unmined historic resources as well as in
previously identified high-grade silver intercepts down-dip, which
can potentially increase the substantive silver mineralization
along-strike from the two past-producing open pits.
The Company owns 636 lode claims and five patented claims on its
Cherokee project located in Lincoln
County, Nevada, host to multiple silver-copper-gold vein
systems, traced to date for over 11 km along-strike.
Silver One also owns a 100% interest in the Silver Phoenix
Project. The Silver Phoenix Project is a very high-grade native
silver prospect, recently permitted for drilling, which lies within
the "Arizona Silver Belt," immediately adjacent to the prolific
copper producing area of Globe,
Arizona.
