Klondike Silver continues drifting the eastern portion of the SILVER MILE which is a portion of the 9 kilometer long Main Lode vein. The drifting is being undertaken from underground to ensure exploration can continue throughout the first half of 2021. Utilizing the Silvana 4625 West Lateral Drift workings, the Company is drifting approximately 80 meters to the west of Drill Station #1 and parallel to the Main Lode delineated in the 2019-2020 drill program. The SILVER MILE is the western extension of the Silvana Mine deposit, within Klondike Silver claim boundary. The SILVER MILE is approximately 1.5 kilometers long and has been virtually unexplored.
The underground drift is scheduled to reach the Drill Station #2 location mid February. Once Drill Station #2 is established a series of underground diamond drill holes will be drilled in a fan-type drill pattern to intersect the widest coverage area of the Main Lode vein system, at this location. The Main Lode vein system contains 8 of the largest mines in the Slocan Mining Camp.
