Aggressive 2026 Drilling Planned
Following a recent $13.8 million financing, the company plans a much more aggressive drilling program in 2026 to further define and expand these high-grade zones.
Analysis
Alaska Silver Corp. announced significant high-grade silver and zinc drill results from its 2025 exploration program. The discovery of a new high-grade silver-lead zone at Silver Sage, alongside confirmed extensions at the Waterpump Creek deposit, is a material positive development for this exploration-stage company. These results expand the known mineralized footprint of the Illinois Creek Project and provide strong justification for the company's planned aggressive drilling program in 2026, which is supported by recent financing. This progress de-risks the project and enhances its long-term resource potential.
