The 10,000 meter program will be split 50/50 between infill drilling at the Torbit deposit and resource expansion drilling.
Torbrit is considered a high-grade silver deposit that’s potentially amenable to low-cost underground bulk mining methods. It represents the largest portion of the four silver deposits that make up the current 43-101 Mineral Resource [32.9 million ounces Ag Indicated plus 11.4 million ounces Ag Inferred] — making Dolly Varden Canada’s largest pure-play silver project.
In recent trading, the DV share price has pulled back from the C$0.75 per share level to currently around C$0.60 in tandem with silver’s recent retreat from US$28 per pound to currently just north of US$26/lb.
As Canada’s largest pure-play silver project, speculators could potentially see an upward rerating as holes are completed and as assays pour into what may ultimately prove to be a resurgent silver market in the second half of the year.
