# Silver North Completes Largest Drill Program To Date at Haldane Silver Project, Keno Hill Silver District, Yukon Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/silver-north-completes-largest-drill-program-to-date-at-haldane-silver-project-k--393c11c8-8c91-423f-a558-2ebb902b9137 Original source: https://www.thenewswire.com/press-releases/1kWVF2xEE-silver-north-completes-largest-drill-program-to-date-at-haldane-silver-project-keno-hill-silver-district-yukon.html Publisher: thenewswire Original announcement: 2026-10-07T12:15:52.585Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-07T12:17:48.966Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-07T12:17:48.966Z - Company: Silver North Resources Ltd. - Ticker: SNAG - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Yukon - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Lead, Zinc, Gold - Document categories: Other, Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-07 12:17:49 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.10 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Silver North Resources Ltd. has completed its largest drill program to date at the Haldane Silver Project in the Keno Hill Silver District, Yukon, comprising 24 drillholes for 6,169 metres. The program targeted expansion of the Main Zone and tested the Bighorn Target, with analytical results anticipated in the first half of October. The company is fully funded for its 2026 and 2027 drilling campaigns. Reasoning: The company successfully completed its largest drill program to date, targeting both expansion of existing high-grade mineralization and new exploration targets, with results anticipated shortly. This represents significant operational progress and de-risking of the exploration pipeline, though the immediate impact is limited by the lack of new assay data. - Positive factor: Largest drill program completed - Positive factor: Targeting expansion of known mineralization - Positive factor: Testing new targets - Positive factor: Results expected imminently - Positive factor: Fully funded for future programs - Negative factor: No new assay results reported in this release Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release states that all samples were shipped to ALS Labs and that the President and CEO, a P.Geo., is a Qualified Person. Evidence · text > All core, rock and soil samples collected in the 2026 program have been shipped from site to ALS Labs in Whitehorse and Vancouver **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: The document references a high-grade intercept from a news release dated November 17, 2025, indicating it is not a new result. Evidence · text > HLD25-31, at the Main Fault, intersected 818 g/t silver, 1.39 g/t gold, 2.54% lead and 0.98% zinc over 13.15 m \(see news release dated November 17, 2025 \) **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The 2026 program included 'distal step outs to test the Main Zone structure' and 'evaluating additional targets across Haldane'. Evidence · text > drilling targeting expansion of the Main Zone mineralization proximal to 2024 and 2025 drilling, distal step outs to test the Main Zone structure and additional drilling at the Bighorn Target **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The 2026 program was designed to 'build on the significant discovery we made at the Main Fault and to test the potential to expand that mineralization along strike and down dip'. Evidence · text > The 2026 program was designed to build on the significant discovery we made at the Main Fault and to test the potential to expand that mineralization along strike and down dip ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
