VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR/OTCQB:HAMRF) (“Silver Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to report high-grade silver assay results obtained during an early phase of exploration at the Company’s Eliza Project (“Eliza” or the “Project”) in Nevada, plus the acquisition of the California Patent (“the Patent”), a strategic claim within the Project area.

Silver Hammer recently completed the purchase of the strategic California Mine Patent claim, which is located entirely within the Eliza Project claim block. The Patent covers an area of 4.6 acres and includes the past-producing California Mine (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Eliza Property Map, Including Newly Acquired California Patent Claim

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/9a6873fd-55a6-4ac7-9d2c-63b2a8908d10

A spring sampling program collected a total of 25 rock chip and grab samples from sites in the northern sector of Eliza, which includes the newly acquired California Mine area. Analytical results derived from these samples confirm the existence of high-grade silver (“Ag”) mineralization, and the presence of significant concentrations of copper (“Cu”), lead (“Pb”) and zinc (“Zn”) associated with the silver.

Sample Highlights Include:

  • PN662703: 1290 grams per tonne (“g/t”) Ag
  • PN662717: 1180 g/t Ag; 7.70% Cu; 11.00% Pb; 13.40% Zn
  • PN662715: 632 g/t silver; 2.2% Cu; 1.49% Pb; 0.55% Zn

See Table 1 for additional results.

“Although we are in the early days of exploring Eliza, these high-grade samples provide further evidence that the Project, including the newly acquired California Patent, is an exciting and high potential area,” stated President & CEO Morgan Lekstrom. “Our exploration work continues to demonstrate the existence of high-grade silver mineralization in a historic mining district that has seen limited modern exploration work. An especially interesting aspect of the results from this recent round of sampling is the presence of high-grade copper, lead and zinc, in addition to the silver. This particular suite of metals is characteristic of vein and replacement-style mineral deposits commonly found peripheral to porphyry copper deposits. Given the recent sampling results, the potential for porphyry-related mineralization will be assessed by our geologists as we further investigate the known silver prospects and potential.”

Table 1: Notable Results from the Spring Sampling Program at Eliza

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/4cc37fae-9ae8-44e6-869b-8a48ef2bb77d

Ongoing field work at Eliza includes soil sampling and geological mapping. A program of geophysical surveying is planned to commence in Q2-Q3, 2022. Results of the geochemical and geophysical surveys will be used to define priority drill targets ahead of an initial phase of drilling at the Project.

Technical Observations at Eliza

The geological setting at Eliza is similar to that of other mines in the area. District-scale folding of Middle Paleozoic limestone and shale formations appears to have formed open-space fault and fracture zones which channeled mineralizing fluids through chemically receptive host rocks, specifically the Devonian Guillmette and Joana Limestone formations.

The spring sampling program done at and around the historic mines found on the Eliza Project has shown that the replacement-style mineralized zones in limestone exist along axial planar faults and fracture zones and commonly weather into resistant ridges.

The assay results from the sampling program confirm observations made in the field: limestone and dolomite micro-breccia replacement zones show strong to very strong enrichments in Ag, arsenic (“As”), barium (“Ba”), Cu, manganese (“Mn”), Pb and Zn. Notable results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1.

Qualified Person

Technical aspects of this press release have been reviewed and approved by Philip Mulholland, a Certified Professional Geologist (CPG) with the American Institute of Professional Geologists, a contractor of the Company and the designated Qualified Person (QP) under National Instrument 43-101.

Quality Assurance, Quality Control Sample Security

The following measures were taken to ensure sample security: samples were submitted to AAS American Analytical Services; only authorized personnel attended the samples; samples were collected and recorded by Silver Hammer geologists and then shipped to the AAS lab in Osburn, Idaho.

Analysis Suite

All samples were analyzed by AAS using conventional assay methods involving fire assaying of 50-gram charges of pulverized sample material for gold and silver, with Fire Assay ICP Finish (FA-ICP); AND ICP-35 Element Scan (M-ICP-35).

Audits or reviews

Internal review of sampling techniques, data, and results by the Company’s geologist’s and management was routinely done through the course of the project.

Blanks and Duplicates

For quality assurance/quality control purposes, the batches of samples sent to AAS for assaying and ICP analyses were regularly infused with ‘duplicate’, and ‘blank’ samples. The ‘duplicates’ were created during sample preparation at AAS. The laboratory also provided analytical results for their own reference samples for further QA/QC check.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR/OTCQB:HAMRF) (“Silver Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to report exploration results from a rock sampling and mapping program that has led to Company more than doubling the Silverton Project area through the staking of additional claims. The Silverton Project is located 129 kilometres (“km”) northeast of the Tonopah silver district in Nevada and was acquired by the Company in 2021.

Program Highlights:

  • Obtained multiple rock-chip samples of silver mineralization assaying up to 330 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver (“Ag”) southwest of the former Silverton Mine
  • New samples, together with structural information obtained in the field, suggest historically mined silver zone extends to southwest and potentially continues under colluvium and post-mineral volcanic rocks
  • Added 19 claims (516 acres) to cover potential extension of the silver zone mined by previous operators the Silverton Mine
    “Based on our exploration completed to date at the Silverton Project, where minor silver production occurred in the 1930s, we believe that the historical mining developed just a small portion of a significantly larger zone or system of silver mineralization that has now been shown to extend hundreds of metres southwest of the old mine,” stated President & CEO Morgan Lekstrom. “Detrital sediments and young volcanic rocks appear to overlie and obscure the silver mineralized system southwest of the mine and we now believe that the strike extent of the system could be significantly expanded. Consequently, we have filed for 19 additional claims in a block that is contiguous with our original six-claim Silverton Project.

Technical Information

Assay results from 102 rock-chip samples, 40 of which were collected in January of this year, indicate that the silver mineralization in the historic Silverton Mine area is hosted by fractured limestone and quartzite beds, with distinct structures of brecciated limestone containing the highest-grade silver. These structures, also marked by patchy silicification and quartz-iron oxide veinlets, generally trend north 030° east. When the mineralized structures are followed southwest from the mine they are soon obscured by colluvium. Table 1 below, lists some of the better silver assays for the recently collected rock samples.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR/OTCQB:HAMRF) (“Silver Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to report results from newly acquired and previously unreleased high-grade drill intercepts from a 2002 drill program at the Silver Strand project in Idaho.

Highlights:

  • DDH02-001: 1,005 g/t Silver Equivalent (“AgEq”) over 2.2 metres (“m”)
  • DDH02-003: 1,219 g/t AgEq over 3.3 m
  • DDH02-003: 1,876 g/t AgEq over 1.6 m
  • DDH02-004: 1,609 g/t AgEq over 1.5 m (including 2,071 AgEq over 1.0 m and 2439 AgEq over 0.6 m)

“We are pleased to report these high-grade, near-surface drill results from work done on the project by our predecessor in 2002. These newly acquired results, combined with our initial 2021 drill campaign, demonstrate consistent high-grade gold and silver values immediately beneath the existing mine workings,” stated President & CEO Morgan Lekstorm. “Based on an independent report1 we now know that the nearby Lucky Friday Mine, located 63.5 kilometres west of Silver Strand, known for its significant, ongoing silver production, was once Idaho’s largest gold producer, so it’s not surprising to us that we are seeing such strong gold mineralization in these near-surface drill holes. Furthermore, we’ve obtained both the drill core and assay certificates from the 2002 program allowing us to include this new data when preparing our first NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate at Silver Strand. The repatriation of this information has extremely high return on investment adding significant value for the company and our shareholders.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR / OTCQB: HAMRF) (“Silver Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to report results from the Company’s recently completed initial Phase I drill campaign at the past-producing Silver Strand Mine located in Idaho, USA. Historical records at Silver Strand indicate the potential for both significant gold (“Au”) and silver (“Ag”) mineralization within the upper part of the system, directly below the lowest surface level. All six drillholes (first drilling in ~20 years at Silver Strand) cut through a 25 metre (m) wide zone of intensely silicified quartzite with locally higher-grade Au-Ag mineralization and confirmed the Company’s thesis that the mineralized body extends beneath the old mine workings.

Highlights:

  • SS21-003: 1.13 g/t Au and 89.76 g/t Ag over 4.57 m (202.76 g/t Silver Equivalent) (“AgEq”) (AgEq silver:gold ratio 100:1) shown for reference purposes
  • SS21-004: 5.17 g/t Au and 18.07 g/t Ag over 1.24 m (535.07 g/t AgEq), followed by 4.96 g/t Au and 85.10 g/t Ag over 0.91 m (581.10 g/t AgEq)
  • SS21-005: 5.80 g/t Au and 13 g/t Ag over 1.83 m (593.93 g/t AgEq)
  • SS21-006: 1.29 g/t Au and 80.85 g/t Ag over 7.93M (209.85 g/t AgEq), Including 0.61 g/t Au and 392.00 g/t Ag over 0.61 m (456.00 g/t AgEq) and 2.48 g/t Au and 284.00 g/t Ag over 0.92 m (532.00 g/t AgEq)
  • SS21-007: 4.12 g/t Au and 130.00 g/t Ag over 1.53 m (542.00 g/t AgEq)

“We are very encouraged that all six drillholes from our initial drill campaign at Silver Strand cut significant Au-Ag mineralization. Quickly and cost effectively rehabilitating and utilizing the existing underground allowed us to create a new drilling station accessed from the surface level 3 portal,” stated President and CEO, Morgan Lekstrom.

Lekstrom added, “Other large high-grade silver mines in the same Revett Formation rocks within the Coeur d’Alene district extend to 1,800 m or greater, often with the highest silver grades starting 100’s of metres below surface. Our shallow confirmatory drilling has successfully delivered proof-of-concept and we look forward to testing the system at greater depth and targeting potential additional high-grade chutes along strike in 2022.”

The Company recently completed mine rehabilitation work within the level 3 portal (see Figure 1 above and press release September 1, 2021) and established a new underground drill station stepped out from the old mine workings. This station is on the same plane as surface and will allow for an expedited, focused, and cost-effective way to continue drilling at greater depths and along strike.

Background and Interpretation of Results

The Company’s initial targeted pierce points would have required approximately 3,000 m of drilling from surface as well as a more extensive surface permitting process, but by utilizing an underground drill method, the equivalent drilling was completed with only ~290 m in six core holes. Drillholes were positioned to evaluate presumed extensions of mineralization beneath the lowest production level of the mine (see Figure 2 below).

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/1737c57e-f045-4011-a7e4-1219a894a84a

The six drillholes completed from the underground drilling all passed through a 25 m wide zone of intensely silicified quartzite with extensive, highly fractured quartz veining which hosts at its core the Au-Ag mineralization being reported (see Table 1 above). This zone of pervasive hydrothermal alteration and lower grade halo precious metal mineralization (e.g. SS21-005 cut 1.36 g/t Au over 15.5 m and SS21-007 cut 1.38 g/t Au over 9.41 m) is also intruded by a post-mineral mafic dyke, as noted for drillhole SS21-004. The extent and intensity of the silica alteration supports the Company’s view that the Silver Strand project represents a compelling exploration target with potential for increased gold-silver values across broader intervals at greater depths and along strike.

Confirming the association of the quartz to the mafic dyke, allows the Company to extend its exploration plans not only underground, but to understand the UAV MAG survey anomalies with potential for exploration surface drilling as well.

Quality Assurance, Quality Control

Sample Security

The following measures were taken to ensure sample security: samples were submitted to the American Analytical Services (AAS) by company personnel following the guidelines and procedures of Silver Hammer Mining Company; only authorized personnel have attended the samples; core was logged at the Silver Hammer core processing facility and then transferred to the AAS lab in Osburn, Idaho.

Analysis Suite

All drill core samples were analyzed by AAS using conventional assay methods involving the fire assaying of 30 gram charges of pulverized sample material for gold and silver, with ICP finishing. Gravimetric analyses were to be applied to any samples that yielded Au values greater than 10 g/t Au and 10 g/t Ag. In addition, pulverized charges were collected for all core samples and were entirely dissolved using 4-acid digestion, with the final solution being analyzed for 35 elements using the ICP-MS method.

Audits or reviews

Internal review of sampling techniques, data, and drilling results by the Company’s management is routinely done through the course of the project.

Standards, Blanks and Duplicates

For quality assurance/quality control purposes, the batches of core samples sent to AAS for assaying and ICP analyses were regularly infused with ‘duplicate’, ‘standard’ and ‘blank’ samples. So-called ‘standard’ samples consisted of certified reference material (OREAS 611) of pulverized rock obtained from OREAS, a company that provides certified reference materials. The ‘blank’ samples consisted of barren landscaping gravel, while the ‘duplicates’ were in fact laboratory duplicates created during sample preparation at the labs of AAS. The laboratory also provided analytical results for their own reference samples for further a QA/QC check. The standards and blanks were inserted into the assay stream by Silver Hammer geologists.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silver Hammer Mining Corp. (CSE: HAMR, OTCQB: HAMRF) (“Silver Hammer” or the “Company”) is pleased to report high-grade silver assays for a number of rock samples collected during its first sampling program at the Company’s Eliza Silver Project in Eastern Nevada.

A total of 73 rock-chip samples were collected in the vicinity of the historic Passynak Mine within the Eliza project area which lies on trend of the Hamilton mining district, Nevada’s highest grade silver mining camp. An estimated over 30 million ounces of silver was produced, valued at $22 million between 1865 and 1888, from the Treasure Hill Mining area which extends onto the Eliza property.1

In addition to the assayed samples, another 35 geochemical survey samples were collected from outcrops in the northern sector of the property, south of the Eberhardt Fault which separates the Eliza Project from the abandoned Hamilton mines to the north. The assay results confirm the existence of a well-developed silver-rich mineral system that also shows enrichments in copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn). Other trace elements conventionally viewed as indicators of epithermal precious metal mineralization, such as antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As), are also present in geochemically anomalous amounts.

“We are very pleased with the results obtained by our first sampling program at Eliza. The high-grade mineralized samples provide evidence that the near-surface silver mineralization exploited by the former 30 Moz Treasure Hill Mine extends onto the Eliza property and may continue beneath a shale unit south of the Eberhardt Fault,” stated President and CEO Morgan Lekstrom. “We are also encouraged by the association of silver with base metals (Cu, Pb, Zn), as this type of mineralization may be an outer zone expression of a ‘blind’ porphyry copper system. We intend to use modern technology, including hyperspectral imaging to expand our knowledge of the geologic model and define its size potential. In addition, we intend to define drill targets for 2022.”

In addition to the targeted rock sampling that was done, the Company has undertaken hyperspectral imaging analysis of the Eliza property area. Interpretation of the imagery shows a correlation between secondary silver mineralization, mainly chloraryrite, and areas where hydrocarbon decay are outlined. This innovative exploration technology will be further employed on the property.

Plans are underway for additional geological and geochemical investigations, with the objective of defining high-potential drill targets early in 2022.
