Silver Dollar Commences Exploration Drilling at the Ranger-Page Project in Idaho's Silver Valley

Ranger-Page Project is located in the Coeur d'Alene Mining District, a world-class silver district where over 90 mines have operated since the first major silver-lead-zinc discovery was staked in 1884

Vancouver, November 26, 2024 - Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV) (OTCQX: SLVDF) (FSE: 4YW) ("Silver Dollar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of its inaugural diamond drilling program at the Ranger-Page Project.

The initial drill target is the Crown Point Mine area, which is located within a kilometre of the Bunker Hill Mine (Figure 2) that was in production from 1885 to 1981 and is scheduled to restart production in the first half of 2025.

Based on the limited historical records available, mining at Crown Point started in the late 1800s with the first 3,000 tons shipped from the mine being high-grade supergene ores with up to 80 ounces per ton silver and 65% lead.¹ As mining continued, out of the oxidized rocks, head grades dropped to more typical hypogene ore grades of 5 to 30 ounces per ton silver with 20% lead. After mining to 134 metres below ground surface, mining reportedly stopped in the 1950s partially due to fluctuating metal prices and complex lease agreements.

The 2022 IP survey identified a deep polarization anomaly down-plunge from the historic Crown Point Mine that has never been drill tested. The anomaly is coincident with surface geochemical data and positive trenching results over the area, which has improved the confidence level in this target, and it will be the first to be drill tested in 2024. Three holes are initially planned to test the deep anomaly with the objectives of expanding the mineralized footprint 190 metres below the lowest mine workings and locating the deep projection of the Crown Point mineralized system along with the historically reported Shea Zone and the Osburn Fault Zone (Figure 1).

About the Ranger-Page Project

The Ranger-Page Project is located in a world-class silver district. The land package covers six historic mines and is ideally situated near Interstate 90 with year-round access to power, water, local infrastructure and a workforce in the Silver Valley skilled in exploration and mining. The primary target areas are up and down plunge from historic underground mining, along strike where ground induced polarization (IP) surveys identify anomalies, and where surface trenching identified near surface mineralization. Additional exploration targets have also been identified away from historic mine infrastructure, using soil geochemical data, mapping, and ground IP survey data.
