VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2025 / Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. (TSXV:SWLF)(OTCQB:SWLFF) ("Silver Wolf" or the "Company") provides its 2025 outlook and objectives and the highlights from 2024.
"2024 was a milestone year, as we made significant advances in our understanding of the geology of the El Soldado Claim at the Ana Maria property, and work towards making discovery," said Peter Latta, President. "We have identified 11 of 13 key indicators on the Carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) checklist, (see slide 13 of our corporate presentation, which can found on our website here), as well as confirmed the presence of large chimney-style breccias on the property. These breccias along with the pathfinder elements and anomalous Ag-Zn-Pb mineralization measured in the drill core assays confirm hydrothermal fluid pathways that support the possibility of a mineralized CRD deposit at El Soldado. CRD's are notoriously difficult to find, but they can be exceptionally rewarding when discovered. Based on the results of our exploration drilling to date, we believe we have a geological model that closely resembles the world famous Ojuela mine1, located in proximity to our property2. With the recent results in hand, we are applying the learnings from our recently completed drill program to prioritize additional areas or targets across the property. The goal is to identify more of these chimney breccias that have the potential to host economic mineralization. In addition, we also advanced the La Recompensa claim on the Ana Maria property to be able to drill the Au-Zn skarn target on the boundary between the El Sarnoso intrusive complex and the host carbonates.
Management continues to forgo a salary in an effort to minimize the Company's burn rate. This approach helps reduce the need for dilution, maintaining our tight share structure. The insider and managements ownership is approximately 50% of the total issued and outstanding shares. We look forward to creating value for our shareholders through ongoing exploration and development efforts."
2025 OUTLOOK
At El Soldado - The CRD Target
On February 18, 2025, Silver Wolf announced the results of its inaugural drill program on the El Soldado Claim at the Ana Maria property. The full results and release can be found here.
Highlights include:
-
Discovered extensive CRD-style hydrothermal breccia mineralization and dolomitization underlying historical Silver, lead, and zinc (Ag-Pb-Zn) workings at El Soldado to a depth of over 150-200 meter which is open at depth.
These results will be integrated into the geological model, more mapping and sampling will be applied to other high-potential areas of the property where chimney breccias have been identified on surface. Silver Wolf is looking forward to drill-test new targets that are being generated through this effort.
La Recompensa - The Au-Zn Skarn Target
The La Recompensa Claim is the central claim on the Ana Maria property and located at the intersection of the El Sarnoso intrusive complex and the limestones sequences. Surface sampling results yielded very positive results for gold and zinc hosted in skarn bodies found at the contact of the intrusion with Au and Zn values of 37 g/t Gold and 7.6% Zinc over 0.70 meters respectively. The release dated January 18, 2022, can be found here. A 3D inversion of magnetic data has now been completed to support delineation of the shape and location of the intrusive stock at depth.
This information will help with targeting for a new drill campaign on the La Recompensa Claim. Skarn mineralization crops out over the entire surface boundary and is expected to continue at depth, following the contact of the intrusion. Furthermore, Silver Wolf has obtained all permits to drill in this area. The Company is eager to commence a drill program at La Recompensa.
2024 MILESTONES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Drill Program Planning and Execution
During the first half of the year, the team was focused on the preparation of the drill program at El Soldado The activities that were completed included:
Strategic Engagement: In May, 2024, the Company engaged Salman Partners Inc. to provide strategic advice to enhance shareholder value and awareness.
M&A Opportunities: Silver Wolf continues to evaluate potential project acquisitions that leverage the strengths of the company to enhance shareholder value.
Funding for Drill Program: The Company closed a Life Offering in June, 2024 of $1 million. Silver Wolf was very mindful of all spending and executed the drill program on budget.
