*Estimated true widths vary depending on intersection angles and range from 55% to 75% of core lengths, further modelling of the new interpretation is needed before true widths can be calculated

"Homestake Silver was originally considered a primary silver-rich deposit, however our drilling has continued to identify multiple gold-rich zones and remains wide open for expansion. Fully funded drilling in 2025 will target continued growth and further infill-drilling as a high-priority amongst the many targets in the Kitsault Valley trend," said Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver.
