Silver One Resources Initiates Ground Geophysical Survey at Phoenix Silver Project in Arizona
Silver One Resources Inc. has officially engaged Zonge International, Inc. to undertake a detailed ground geophysical survey for its Phoenix Silver Project situated in Arizona. This initiative is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to exploring and identifying mineral resources effectively. The survey will utilize advanced techniques such as Induced Polarization (IP) and Magnetotelluric (MT) methods, which are crucial for detecting underground metallic minerals, particularly sulfides, and geological structures favorable for mineralization.
The southern section of the Phoenix Silver property has previously shown promising results from magnetic and ZTEM surveys, alongside various high-grade copper and silver samples that indicate the presence of a potential copper-silver system at significant depths. Given safety considerations related to fire hazards in the area, the company plans to schedule the survey once restrictions from the Forest Service are lifted. This highlights Silver One's commitment not only to exploration but to safety and environmental responsibility as well.
Key Features of the Survey
The survey will cover approximately 50 line kilometers, focusing on robust copper targets identified through Geotech's sophisticated targeting algorithm. This algorithm integrates multiple data sets, including resistivity from the ZTEM survey, magnetic features, geological data, and existing mine sites. These identified targets, located in the northeastern part of the prolific Miami-Inspiration copper belt, have not been drill-tested, making their evaluation critical.
The depth ranges for the IP and MT survey will be 600 meters and 1,500 meters, respectively. By correlating these survey results with previous on-site investigations, Silver One aims to delineate and prioritize targets for future drilling activities.
Continued Silver Exploration Efforts
In addition to the current survey, Silver One is actively refining its exploration efforts for silver targets, particularly focusing on the 417 area, which is characterized by a significant northeast trend of silver nuggets. Plans are underway for a detailed gravity survey in this area, which was drilled in 2024, to better define the locations of potential massive silver deposits. Furthermore, prospective work at the Nuggets North area includes mapping, sampling, and trenching, pending approvals from the Forest Service.
Updates on Candelaria Project
The company also reported that its Candelaria project is advancing on schedule. Currently, metallurgical investigations are being conducted to optimize recovery rates for both silver and gold, with a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) anticipated to be completed by the year’s end. This progress underscores Silver One's dual focus on its Phoenix and Candelaria projects, demonstrating a balanced approach to silver exploration and development.
Conclusion
Silver One Resources Inc. is dedicated to exploring high-quality silver projects and maximizing the potential of its assets. The Phoenix Silver Project stands as a significant opportunity for discovering valuable mineral resources in a historically rich mining region. With strategic analyses and a commitment to responsible operations, Silver One is positioning itself to uncover and capitalize on substantial mineral discoveries in the upcoming years.
