White Rock, British Columbia, November 13, 2024 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV:TUF | OTCQB:HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has incorporated a new subsidiary called Honey Badger Silver Royalty Inc. (“HBSR”). The Company will grant HBSR a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on silver production from Honey Badger’s current portfolio of mineral projects. Honey Badger shareholders will own 100% of HBSR through their ownership of Honey Badger shares.

Honey Badger’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “We expect HBSR to surface shareholder value by highlighting the company’s inherent silver royalty holdings. Our goal is to create a compelling silver investment vehicle for what we believe will be the biggest bull silver market in history. Honey Badger continues to aggressively evaluate many silver mineral assets. Over the past few years, we have selectively acquired 7 silver-rich mineral projects in sound political jurisdictions – all in Canada at present. Our ultimate objective is to hold cash-flowing silver royalties and streams plus a substantial inventory of silver ounces in mineral deposits. This business model is innovative and unique to our knowledge.”

The Honey Badger fully-owned projects from which a 2% NSR will be granted to HBSR comprise:

Containing Historic Silver Resources:

  • Clear Lake project in the Yukon: Sediment-hosted deposit containing 5.5 million ounces of silver and 1.3 billion pounds of zinc, with potential to expand.
  • The Sunrise Lake project in the Northwest Territory: Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposit with a historic estimate of 12.6 million ounces of silver Indicated and 14.1 million ounces Inferred, together with significant gold and base metals. There is potential to expand resource.
  • Yava Lake project in Nunavut: VMS located near Glencore’s Hackett River Project, one of the world’s largest undeveloped silver resources. Yava Lake has a historic resource of 4.5 million ounces of silver, with significant potential to expand and to discover additional deposits within the land package.

Pre-Resource, High-Grade Silver Projects

  • Nanisivik Mine in Nunavut: A historical mine which produced over 20 million ounces of silver. High-grade silver targets identified within the over 100 million tonnes of massive sulphide that remains unmined on the property together with additional exploration targets within the land package.
  • Plata in the Yukon: Historic high-grade silver producer, adjacent to Snowline Gold’s Rogue discovery and with similar geology. High-grade gold and silver veins occur throughout the project and are interpreted to be the upper portions of a Rogue-type mineralized system.
  • Groundhog in the Yukon: Located near the Ketza River gold-silver camp, high-grade silver, zinc, lead, and copper mineralization occurs on the project. There has been no geophysics or drilling done on this project, which has potential to host one or multiple silver deposits.
  • Hy in the Yukon: High-grade silver, lead, zinc, and tungsten mineralization occur on this project. Little follow up work has been done to date on this project, which has potential to host one or more silver deposits.

October 28, 2024

White Rock, British Columbia, October 28, 2024 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV:TUF | OTCQB:HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has added, by low cost staking, additional claims at its 100%-owned Yava silver project, located in Nunavut. The objective was to increase its strategic ownership of promising silver-rich geologic targets in the immediate area of the original Yava claims.

Honey Badger’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “Our new claims provide an important addition to the project’s expansion potential. In addition to its historical silver resource, Yava has tremendous upside exploration potential, which we have enhanced greatly by more than tripling the size of our land position. All of our Yava claims are located near Glencore plc’s (GLCNF) Hackett River project that contains a world-class silver resource of 105 million ounces of silver Indicated and 184 million ounces silver Inferred. Hackett and Yava are located on the same mineralized structure. The number of untested geophysical and geochemical anomalies within our now-enlarged land position speak to the great expansion potential on our claims.  We will compile and interpret existing data on the expanded Yava project – which is an exciting new acquisition for Honey Badger – with a view to executing activities to maximize the value of this asset for our shareholders.”

Yava is located 45 kms from Glencore’s Hackett River Project, one of the largest undeveloped silver resources in the world. The new claims increase the Company’s land position in this rich district from 1,280 hectares to 4,395 hectares. The new claims cover a number of untested magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies and silver occurrences that occur along strike and adjacent to the Yava deposit (see maps below) and add greatly to the Company’s expansion potential in the district.

 

 

Yava Deposit

On October 2, 2024, the Company announced that it had purchased the Yava Project from Blue Moon Metals Inc. (see news release dated October 2, 2024). The Yava Property is in the Mackenzie Mining District, Territory of Nunavut, approximately 450 kilometers northeast of Yellowknife. The Yava Property consists of one mining lease of 1,280 hectares plus three mining claims in two blocks totaling 3,115 hectares, comprising in all 4,395 hectares.

The Yava Property envelopes four known base and precious metal occurrences mid-way along the length of the Hackett-Back River greenstone belt.  The north end of this greenstone belt hosts the Hackett River base and precious metal resource currently held by Glencore. According to Xstrata’s December 31, 2012, report, Hackett River’s resource estimate includes 25 million indicated tons of 4.2% zinc, 0.6% lead, 0.5% copper, 130 g/t silver and 0.3 g/t gold as well as 57 million inferred tons of 3.0% zinc, 0.5% lead, 0.4% copper, 100 g/t silver and 0.2 g/t gold. This represents 105 million ounces of silver Indicated plus 184 million ounces Inferred, among the largest undeveloped deposits of silver in the world. The Nunavut government has been supportive of mining and of initiating infrastructure projects including roads and ports.

Known metal occurrences at the Yava Property, the Hackett River occurrence and the Musk occurrence are at or near the interface between uppermost felsic volcanic rocks of the greenstone belt and overlying sedimentary rocks. The Yava mining lease includes 9 km of northwest-trending strike-length along the aforementioned volcanic-sedimentary rock interface.  Brascan Resources Ltd. estimated that the Yava Main Zone contains 1.3 million tons of 4.96% zinc, 1.03% copper, 1.60% lead, 3.42 oz/t silver, and 0.008 oz/t gold to a depth of 100 metres.  The Yava Zone remains fully open at depth, down dip and/or down plunge and along strike.

In addition, there is significant exploration potential associated with untested geophysical and geochemical anomalies and along the favorable volcanic stratigraphy.

Comments on the Historic Mineral Resource Estimate

The historic preliminary resource estimate of 1.3Mt grading 1.03% Cu, 1.6% Pb, 4.96% Zn, 3.42 opt Ag and 0.008 opt Au (Salaken, 1976, 1977) was prepared for Brascan Resources Ltd. It is classed as a historic mineral resource estimate. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this historic tonnage estimate as a current mineral resource and the Company is not treating the estimate as a current mineral resource. The historic resource estimate cannot be relied upon. Additional work, including verification drilling / sampling and remodeling, will be required to verify the estimate as a current mineral resource. In addition, the assessment of economic viability would need to be redone using current or foreseeable metals prices, which are higher than those used in the historic estimate.

October 21, 2024

White Rock, British Columbia, October 21, 2024 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV:TUF | OTCQB:HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has added strategic claims through staking at its 100%-owned Nanisivik project, located on Baffin Island, Nunavut. These claims are deemed to have high geologic growth and discovery potential.

Honey Badger’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “Our recent historic drill and geophysical data analysis (news release dated September 16, 2024), revealed several high-priority targets that may be silver-rich massive sulphide bodies. To capture the full benefit of these and additional potential silver-rich targets for our shareholders we staked new claims at very low cost. We are extremely excited by our new land position because of how it expands, at extremely low cost, the number of potential silver-rich targets.  Our next steps will be to continue compiling and interpreting available data on these new claims, with a view to performing an initial field reconnaissance.”

New Claims

The Company has recently increased the size of its mineral tenure around the past producing Nanisivik Mine on Baffin Island, Nunavut, which now comprises a total of 14 mineral claims covering some 13,373.2 hectares (ha). The Company’s original Nanisivik Property comprised 4 claims totaling 5,722.8 ha that cover the former mine site. The company has staked an additional 10 claims totaling 7650.4 ha at and around the Nanisivik area. These claims cover geophysical anomalies identified during the Company’s review of the historic data base (see news release dated September 16, 2024). The new claims comprise a further 3 claims that have added 1174.2 ha to the original Nanisivik claim block, 2 claims (1710.4 ha) covering the Chris Creek target located approximately 19 km southeast of Nanisivik, and further 5 claims (4765.8 ha) covering historical geophysical anomalies (conductors) in and around the Adams Sound and Adams River target areas approximately 40 km and 55 km, respectively, southeast of Nanisivik. The map below illustrates the locations of the new claims with respect to the geophysical anomalies.

 

About Nanisivik

The Nanisivik Mine (near Arctic Bay, Nunavut) produced over 20 million ounces of silver between 1976 and 2002, from 17.9 million tons of ore, grading 9% zinc, 0.72% lead, and 35 grams per tonne silver (1). In addition to the polymetallic orebody, previous exploration identified massive sulphide bodies (principally pyrite) still in place, totaling about 100 million tonnes (1,2), containing locally anomalous base metal and silver values.

October 2, 2024

White Rock, British Columbia, October 2, 2024 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV:TUF | OTCQB:HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has purchased the Yava project located in Nunavut from Blue Moon Metals Inc. (“Blue Moon”). Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Blue Moon is receiving 4,250,000 common shares (“Shares”) of Honey Badger valued at CAD$0.08 per Share. No other obligations by Honey Badger are required (e.g. no cash, no spending requirements, nor any future payments). This consideration represents approximately 6.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Honey Badger.

The Shares are subject to a hold period under applicable securities laws which ends on February 2, 2025. Blue Moon has agreed not to resell the Shares for 12 months following closing without the consent of the Company.

Honey Badger’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “The Yava project is an exciting addition to Honey Badger’s growing portfolio of high-quality silver projects. We already have projects in Nunavut, NWT, and the Yukon and have experience operating in these areas. We are acquiring this project that contains 4.5 million ounces of silver at a price of approximately $0.08 per ounce of silver in the historic resource. The millions of pounds of substantial strategic base metal inventory come at zero cost in that calculation. In addition to its historical resource, Yava has tremendous upside exploration potential. Its location only 45 kilometres from Glencore’s Hackett River project (which contains a huge silver resource, 105 million ounces Indicated plus 184 million ounces Inferred), and on the same mineralized belt, adds to the project’s value. This is one more step in our strategy of acquiring accretive silver ounces and projects. We welcome Blue Moon as a shareholder.

Yava Deposit

The Yava Property is in the Mackenzie Mining District, Territory of Nunavut, approximately 450 kilometers northeast of Yellowknife. The Yava Property consists of one mining lease of 1,304 hectares.

The Yava Property envelopes four known base and precious metal occurrences mid-way along the length of the Hackett-Back River greenstone belt.  The north end of this greenstone belt hosts the Hackett River base and precious metal resource currently held by Glencore.  According to Xstrata’s December 31, 2012, report, Hackett River’s resource estimate includes 25 million indicated tons of 4.2% zinc, 0.6% lead, 0.5% copper, 130 g/t silver and 0.3 g/t gold as well as 57 million inferred tons of 3.0% zinc, 0.5% lead, 0.4% copper, 100 g/t silver and 0.2 g/t gold.  This represents 105 million ounces of silver Indicated plus 184 million ounces Inferred, among the largest undeveloped deposits of silver in the world.  The Nunavut government has been supportive of mining and of initiating infrastructure projects including roads and ports.

Known metal occurrences at the Yava Property, the Hackett River occurrence and the Musk occurrence are at or near the interface between uppermost felsic volcanic rocks of the greenstone belt and overlying sedimentary rocks. The Yava mining lease includes 9 km of northwest-trending strike-length along the aforementioned volcanic-sedimentary rock interface.  Brascan Resources Ltd. estimated that the Yava Main Zone contains 1.3 million tons of 4.96% zinc, 1.03% copper, 1.60% lead, 3.42 oz/t silver, and 0.008 oz/t gold to a depth of 100 metres.  The Yava Zone remains fully open at depth, down dip and/or down plunge and along strike.

In addition, there is significant exploration potential associated with untested geophysical and geochemical anomalies and along the favorable volcanic stratigraphy.

The map below shows the location of the Yava Property relative to Glencore’s Hackett River Project.

 

Comments on the Historic Mineral Resource Estimate

The historic preliminary resource estimate of 1.3Mt grading 1.03% Cu, 1.6% Pb, 4.96% Zn, 3.42 opt Ag and 0.008 opt Au (Salaken, 1976, 1977) was prepared for Brascan Resources Ltd. It is classed as a historic mineral resource estimate. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify this historic tonnage estimate as a current mineral resource and the Company is not treating the estimate as a current mineral resource. The historic resource estimate cannot be relied upon. Additional work, including verification drilling / sampling and remodeling, will be required to verify the estimate as a current mineral resource. In addition, the assessment of economic viability would need to be redone using current or foreseeable metals prices, which are higher than those used in the historic estimate.

September 16, 2024

White Rock, British Columbia, September 16, 2024 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV:TUF | OTCQB:HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is very pleased to announce that a detailed review of the recently acquired historic database of drilling and assays at its 100%-owned Nanisivik project in Nunavut has shown very encouraging results for silver mineralization in multiple areas that were not mined.

The Nanisivik Mine produced about 17.9 million tons of ore grading 9% zinc (Zn), 0.72% lead (Pb), and 35 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag) between 1976 and 2002 (1). Honey Badger acquired its initial 5,723 hectares through staking in 2022.

The Company’s CEO Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol commented, “We have identified multiple targets that host prospective areas of silver-bearing mineralization.  This underscores our contention that the entire large project area has potential to host economic orebodies and merits further investigation. In addition to these newly identified areas of silver-bearing mineralization, our rationale for originally acquiring Nanisivik was that there is a very large (over 100 million tonnes) unmined, pyrite-rich massive sulphide zone containing silver that could be economic at today’s commodity prices.  Our target grade is 30-50 grams per tonne silver (roughly 1.0 to 1.5 ozs/ton). We will continue to evaluate this database to further define silver bearing targets as well as detailed review of the geophysics database, likely using innovative AI techniques similar to those that the Company has been employing with great effect on its Plata Project in the Yukon.”

“Our vision at Nanisivik is an eventual target resource of at least 100 million ounces of silver. The prospectivity is supported by large tonnages in multiple sulphide zones at Nanisivik with anomalous concentrations of silver and zinc as well as, locally, the potential for important critical metals germanium, gallium, and indium. In addition, with a deep-sea port being constructed adjacent to the Nanisivik Mine, the pyrite bodies themselves may have significant commercial value as a source of sulphur, as global demand for sulphur is expected to increase dramatically (3).  We will continue to evaluate the potential of Nanisivik to host economic mineralization, including commissioning an initial desktop study on the economic viability of the massive pyrite bodies.”

Comprehensive Data Analysis Yields Promising Results

As reported in a news release dated May 2, 2024, the Company recently acquired a historical database that includes drilling, geological, mining, and geophysical information that the Company considers extremely valuable for its Nanisivik claims. The database contains the results from decades of drilling at Nanisivik that the Company estimates would cost well over $40 million to replicate today. The database also contains a historical regional airborne geophysical survey from the early 1980s that will be utilized to conduct modern geophysics and targeting. The database was reviewed independently by APEX Geoscience Ltd., a 3D model was constructed, and historical mining information was used to identify areas that host silver mineralization. Based upon this compilation, many of these historical drillholes revealed significant silver intercepts in areas that were never mined (Table 1).

The main areas mined at the Nanisivik Mine were the Main Zone with some production from the Oceanview Zone and very minor production from K-Baseline and Area 14 zones (Figure 1).  There are many intersections a significant distance west of the Oceanview workings plus in at least two separate zones to the north of the workings that yielded multiple significant Pb-Zn-Ag intersections. These include (see Figures 1 and 2; Table 1 – true widths not currently known) the following intersections west of Oceanview:

  • 76% zinc (Zn), 9.8% lead (Pb), and 74.7 g/t Ag over 2.7 m core length starting at 30 m downhole.
  • 53% Zn, 11.82% Pb and 71.2 g/t Ag over 2.7 m core length starting at 30.1 m downhole.

The historical drill data also disclosed significant silver values (over 100 g/t Ag) at unmined areas at Oceanview North, Deb and Area 14. Highlights are included in Table 1 below and include:

  • Deb Prospect:6.9% Zn and 185.3 g/t Ag over 1.3 m core length starting at 112.0 m downhole.
  • Oceanview North Prospect: 22.79% Zn, 12.42% Pb and 97.6 g/t Ag over 5.3 m core length starting at 15.5 m downhole.
  • Area 14 Prospect: 27.43% Zn, 11.97% Pb and 280.0 g/t Ag over 2.3 m core length starting at 20.1 m downhole.

There is no information available in the database for important strategic metals including germanium, gallium and indium because previous operators had little interest in these elements.

June 20, 2024

White Rock, British Columbia, June 20, 2024 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV:TUF | OTCQB:HBEIF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) believes it has identified a “Snowline-style” geologic target at its Plata Project, located adjacent to Snowline Gold Corp.’s major discovery in the Tintina Gold Belt of the Yukon Territory.

In a news release dated March 5, 2024, Honey Badger announced that it was increasing its land position at Plata to cover a geophysical anomaly (magnetic low), interpreted as a possible intrusive source of high-grade Plata silver & base metal mineralization. In a news release and webinar dated March 7, 2024, the company discussed in detail the theory that Plata fits the Reduced Intrusive zonation model defined at Snowline’s Rogue Project, with the critical link provided by discovery of intrusive-hosted Type IV veins during the 2023 field season. The Company believes these new leases extend to prospective areas identified by combining this model with existing geophysical data.

Honey Badger has engaged ExploreTech (www.exploretech.ai) to analyze geophysical data at Plata to refine the highest-potential targets. ExploreTech is an innovative geoscience computing company founded by Stanford alumni geophysicist Alex Miltenberger PhD and geologist Tyler Hall PhD. ExploreTech uses innovative data interpretation methods including proprietary xFlare™ technology to interpret geophysical data in conjunction with geologic data. This methodology has been successful in siting drill holes which intersected mineralization in multiple geologic settings. At Plata, their work is expected to provide insight as to the possible shape, size, and location of a buried intrusion which would represent a significant mineralized target.

The Company’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented:

We interpret Plata as being related to the same style of mineralization as Snowline Gold Corp.’s Rogue Project.  The work that ExploreTech will do for us using proprietary cloud-based computing technology will help identify potential targets related to the buried intrusion believed to be the cause of the geophysical anomaly covered by our recently acquired claims. We will receive the results of this analysis before beginning summer field work at Plata in July. The objective of this year’s field program is to identify drill targets with a program of geologic mapping and sampling focusing on the intrusive-hosted veins discovered in 2023. We now interpret the ‘smoke’ represented by high-grade silver mineralization at surface as coming from a large ‘fire’ that is not far away.  The upcoming work will help us to vector in that direction. Engaging ExploreTech is also another illustration of Honey Badger’s commitment to using innovative concepts to cost-effectively advance projects and create asset value.

Plata is a large, intensely mineralized property with significant historic production and silver occurrences of exceptionally high grade. When operating in the 1980s, mined ore was sufficiently high grade to justify being flown to Idaho for processing. Records indicate yield of 9,020 kg (290,000 oz) of silver from a reported 2,041 tonnes of hand sorted material, equivalent to a recovered silver grade of approximately 4,420 grams per tonne (g/t) silver. There are 32 known silver occurrences at Plata with grades up to 19,000 g/t silver and 78 g/t gold, plus extensive un-drilled base metals geochemical anomalies.

Plata benefits from strategic infrastructure, hosting the only airstrip in the area, which also provides access to the Snowline Gold project. The Plata Access Track, while not entirely controlled by Honey Badger, is the only surface link. The district is part of the Tombstone Gold Belt, which includes Sitka Gold Corp., Victoria Gold Corp., and Snowline Gold Corp., and is being recognized as an area of rich mineral endowment and tremendous exploration potential. Plata is in the center of this rapidly emerging region.

Initial exploration work at Plata confirmed the presence of high-grade silver veins at surface and exploration was driven by analogies to the rich Keno Hill Silver Mine in the Yukon, one of the highest-grade silver deposits in the world, now being operated by Hecla Mining. While the analogy to Keno Hill remains valid, the Company in recent months has completed a re-interpretation of data which led to the recognition of Plata as a possibly part of a larger “Snowline-style” mineralized system.  This adds the potential for a large gold deposit at Plata in addition to known high-grade silver and base metals.

About Honey Badger Silver Inc.

Honey Badger Silver is a mining consolidation, roll-up, development, and holding company that has assembled a remarkable portfolio from a modest capital base over the past three years. The company is led by a highly experienced leadership team with a track record of value creation backed by a skilled technical team. Our projects are located in areas with a long history of mining, including the Sunrise Lake project with a historic resource of 12.8 Moz of silver (and 201.3 million pounds of zinc) Indicated and 13.9 Moz of silver (and 247.8 million pounds of zinc) Inferred (1)(3) located in the Northwest Territories and the Plata high grade silver project located 165 km east of Yukon’s prolific Keno Hill and adjacent to Snowline Gold’s Rogue discovery. The Company’s Clear Lake Project in the Yukon Territory has a historic resource of 5.5 Moz of silver and 1.3 billion pounds of zinc (2)(3). The Company also has a significant land holding at the Nanisivik Mine Area located in Nunavut, Canada that produced over 20 Moz of silver between 1976 and 2002 (2,3). A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the foregoing historic resources as current mineral resources and the Company is not treating the estimate as a current mineral resource. The historic resource estimates cannot be relied upon. Additional work, including verification drilling / sampling, will be required to verify the estimate as a current mineral resource.
