Key Highlights:
- Blackrock Silver (BKRRF, Financial) reports multiple high-grade silver and gold intercepts at Tonopah West.
- Confirmed continuous high-grade mineralization over a 350-meter stretch in the DPB resource area.
- Discovery of new near-surface zones with ultra-high-grade gold and silver, increasing potential tonnage.
Blackrock Silver Corp. (BKRRF) has announced the completion of its M&I Conversion Program at the Tonopah West project, located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada. The program, consisting of 62 drill holes totaling 12,580 meters, successfully validated the geologic model and confirmed continuous high-grade mineralization over a 350-meter area.
Standout drill results from the program include TXC25-139, which intersected 9.05 meters grading 367 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq), and TXC25-150 with 2.84 meters at 671.5 g/t AgEq. These results have reinforced the continuity of high-grade shoots within the DPB resource area, which remain open to the northwest and downdip, suggesting considerable expansion potential.
New zones of near-surface mineralization were also identified, featuring ultra-high-grade gold and silver, representing additional tonnage opportunities. The results from this program are set to be incorporated into an updated mineral resource estimate for Tonopah West, expected in Q3 2025, with the aim of upgrading significant tonnage to measured and indicated categories.
According to Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver, these results confirm Tonopah West’s status as one of the top undeveloped silver assets, cementing confidence in existing zones and highlighting the potential for new high-grade discoveries.
