Rokmaster Resources Updates on Selkirk and Silver Exploration Prospects
Rokmaster Resources Updates on Selkirk Project and Silver Potential
Rokmaster Resources Corp. has recently announced an exciting update regarding its 100% owned Selkirk Project, along with an overview of silver mineralization potential across other projects within its portfolio, enhancing its position in the mining landscape.
Overview of the Selkirk Project
The Selkirk Project consists of three properties situated to the north of Revelstoke, within southeastern British Columbia. Rokmaster has been diligently developing these properties since 2021, leveraging various geological techniques such as mapping, prospecting, channel sampling, and soil sampling to derive meaningful insights. The continuous fieldwork has produced encouraging results, showcasing the project's potential for valuable mineral resources.
In 2025, assessments on the Downie Gold Property, one of the Selkirk project's pieces, confirmed the existence of a meter-scale pyrrhotite-diopside-garnet skarn horizon with a strike length of about 2 kilometers. Notably, rock grab samples from both the northern and southern ends of this horizon exhibited elevated levels of tungsten and molybdenum, reinforcing the area's mineral wealth. Additionally, the Downie Gold Property also features significant Ag-Au-Pb-Zn vein and replacement mineralization zones, for which a Multi-year Area Based exploration permit is in place allowing for drilling activities until October 2027.
Keystone Property and Beyond
Located 10 kilometers south of the Downie Gold Property, the Keystone Property has similarly shown great promise. Fieldwork conducted between 2021 and 2024 indicated numerous occurrences of replacement and vein-hosted sphalerite and galena mineralization. The Keystone Project also benefits from a MYAB exploration permit valid until October 2027, facilitating ongoing exploration endeavors.
Other Projects with Silver Potential
Rokmaster's exploration strategy extends to other prime properties featuring increased potential for silver mineralization. The Duncan Lake Project is of particular interest, as it showcases significant targets for lead-zinc mineralization. Historically, operators did not assay for silver in this region, leading to a missed opportunity, but recent efforts revealed broad intervals of elevated silver concentrations, particularly in the No.7 and No.8 Zones located in the east limb of the Duncan Anticline.
Back in the late 1800s, the Duncan Lake camp was initially explored for high-grade silver mineralization documented at historic mines, including the Surprise and Lavina mines, which produced silver grades up to 1555 g/t. This historical backdrop coupled with Rokmaster's recent findings at the Mag Zone, which again confirmed high silver concentrations, underscores the untapped potential in this domain.
Big Copper Property Insights
Furthermore, the Big Copper Property also supports a wealth of copper and silver mineralization along a 4.5-kilometer deformation zone. Recent soil sampling results from 2023 indicated the southern section of the property is prospective for galena and silver, possibly indicating pathways to the core of a sedimentary copper-silver system.
Noteworthy Epithermal Veins
Additionally, the Company's Nechako Project features several notable silver-rich epithermal vein occurrences with assay results indicating impressive grades, including 614 g/t over 1.2 meters and 1001 g/t over 1 meter in previous assessments.
Corporate Updates and Leadership
Amidst these exploration developments, Rokmaster is also undergoing leadership changes. Michael Malana has been appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Dennis Cojuco, who played a significant role in the company's expansion over more than a decade. Mr. Malana brings over 20 years of experience across various industries, enhancing Rokmaster's corporate governance as it forges ahead with its ambitious plans.
Conclusion
As conveyed by John Mirko, President and CEO of Rokmaster, the company has strategically assembled a robust land position across southeastern British Columbia through the Selkirk, Duncan Lake, and Big Copper Projects. Each project has exhibited significant potential for critical metals, particularly silver, aligning with recent market trends favoring silver-focused exploration. With strong assay results and drill permits in hand, Rokmaster's outlook appears promising, setting the stage for exciting developments in the near future.
