Black Bear Minerals has reported high-grade silver re-assays from its Shafter project in Texas, with several intercepts significantly exceeding historical grades. The re-analysis of 2012 diamond core also revealed gold mineralization, providing upside to the existing silver-focused resource and supporting the upcoming maiden JORC resource estimate.
Black Bear Minerals Limited announced that re-analysis of historical drill core at its Shafter Silver Project in Texas continues to show significant uplift in silver grades and has confirmed high-grade gold mineralization. The re-assays, which include intercepts up to 2,992 g/t Ag and 4.1 g/t Au, are being incorporated into a planned maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate for Q4 2026. This work aims to validate and upgrade the existing foreign mineral resource, adding previously unconsidered gold potential.
Black Bear Minerals has identified gold mineralization within the footprint of its Shafter silver project in Texas through the re-analysis of historic assay data. The re-assays of historic pulps and core have also resulted in significant silver grade increases, supporting the project's potential as a multi-commodity system.
Black Bear Minerals is preparing for underground drilling at its Shafter silver project in Texas to support resource growth and JORC conversion. The campaign targets extensions of high-grade mineralization around historical workings and existing development.
Black Bear Minerals' re-assay program at the Shafter Silver Project in Texas has returned significantly higher silver grades than historic results, including an intercept of 9.1m at 1043g/t Ag. The modern multi-element testing is also uncovering gold, lead, and zinc potential that was largely absent from previous datasets.
