Khunkhun shares insights into Dolly Varden’s recent drilling results, which have consistently exceeded expectations and positioned the company as a leader in high-grade silver and silver-gold mineralization. The discussion dives into Dolly Varden’s growth strategy, including the acquisition of the Homestake property and how this area has yielded some of the highest grades in the region, drawing comparisons to other successful mines like Newmont’s Brucejack. The recent drill results have been exceptional, demonstrating both high-grade silver and gold mineralization. It found wide silver-rich intervals, with grades increasing at depth. Intercepts reached 1,000 grams per ton of silver. It found over an ounce per ton gold with multiple meter intervals suggesting high expansion potential. Khunkhun explains the challenges and excitement of setting high benchmarks each year, as Dolly Varden continues to unearth silver and gold deposits with increasing grade and continuity. With C$34 million in the bank and impressive drilling results, Dolly Varden is fully funded for the upcoming exploration season.
