October 17, 2023

, Ontario, October 17, 2023 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company“) announces that on October 16, 2023, it signed a Purchase Agreement with SSR Mining Inc. (“SSR”) to acquire 100% of SSR’s Sunrise Lake Silver Project (“Sunrise Lake”) in the Northwest Territories. Sunrise Lake contains a historic silver resource of approximately 12.8 million ounces in the Indicated category plus 13.9 million ounces Inferred. This is a significant step in Honey Badger’s ongoing strategy to acquire quality silver projects at low cost in favorable and low-risk jurisdictions.

Terms of the acquisition are that the Company is acquiring Sunrise Lake for zero cash consideration. SSR will retain a 4% net smelter royalty (NSR) on any future production from the project.  Half (2%) of this NSR can be purchased by Honey Badger at any time prior to commencement of construction at the project for US$ 10 million, but the Company has no obligation to do so.

The Company’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “Our corporate strategy is based on our thesis that the price of silver is poised for an increase because of increased silver demand for solar panel use and as a financial asset coupled with challenging mine supply issues (Silver Instistute’s World Silver Survey, 2023).  By continuing to acquire high-quality silver projects at a low cost in favorable jurisdictions as the mining industry continues to struggle, we are positioning our shareholders for an increase in value when/if the price of silver increases.  For investors who believe in the future of silver, shares of Honey Badger offer high exposure to silver price increases.  Sunrise Lake fits perfectly into our strategy!  In addition to the historical resource defined to date, we believe the project has exploration potential, is being acquired for no cash consideration, and has minimal annual holding costs.  Significant work was done by previous owners defining the current resource, including the completion of over 20,000 meteres of diamond drilling.”

Cachinal Update

The Company will not be proceeding with the proposed acquisition of the Cachinal Project, Chile (see news releases dated February 15 and August 11, 2023), and the purchase agreement between the Company and Aftermath Silver Inc. has lapsed.

Romios Update

The Company has determined that it is not in the Company’s best interests to proceed with the further exploration of the mineral rights located in northwestern Ontario which it acquired from Romios Gold Resources (“Romios”), and it has terminated the agreement with Romios which was the subject of its news releases dated June 10, 2021 and July 26, 2021 (the “Romios APA”).  The Company plans to transfer the properties back to Romios in accordance with the terms of the Romios APA.

About Sunrise Lake

Sunrise Lake is located in the Northwest Territories, Canada, 130 kilometers northeast of Yellowknife, and hosts silver-gold and base metal mineralization outlined by 21,774 meters of surface diamond drilling since its discovery in 1987. The Sunrise Lake deposit is a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit comprising a steeply dipping lens three-to-four meters thick, 120 meters wide and 190 meters long. Underlying the mineralization is lower grade disseminated mineralization up to about 50 meters in thickness.  Numerous exploration targets have been identified on the property.  The project comprises six contiguous mining leases totaling 1,621 hectares, with annual
lease payments of about $8,000 and no minimum work commitments.

Sunrise Lake has an estimated historical resource comprising Indicated: 1.522 million tonnes grading 262 grams/tonne silver, 6.0% zinc, 2.4% lead, 0.08% copper, and 0.67 grams/tonne gold and Inferred: 2.555 million tonnes grading 169 grams/tonne silver, 4.4% zinc, 1.9% lead, 0.07% copper, and 0.51 grams/tonne gold.  This represents contained silver of approximately 12.8 million ounces Indicated and 13.9 million ounces Inferred.  Expressed as silver equivalent ounces(1), the contained metal isapproximately28.7million ounces silver equivalent Indicated and 35 million ounces silver equivalent Inferred.

  • Silver equivalent (Ag eq) ounces were calculated assuming 100% metallurgical recoveries and metal prices of silver $23/ounce; gold $1,920/ounce; zinc $1.14/pound; lead $1.00/pound; and copper $3.80/pound.


Comments on the Mineral Resource Estimate

 

The mineral resource estimate quoted above was prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. for Silver Standard Resources Inc. in 2003.  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 2003 estimate.

Resources in this historical resource estimate were estimated using a classical polygonal method.  Intercepts were composited primarily using a geological cut-off based on the sulphide content and a nominal 30 g/t Ag grade. Internal values below 30 g/t were included for geological continuity if the composite remained above cut-off.  The following metals prices were assumed: silver US$5.50 per ounce; gold US$400 per ounce; zinc US$0.45 per pound; lead US$0.25 per pound; and copper US$0.80 per pound.

 

A portion of the mineral resource at Sunrise Lake is not compliant with NI 43-101 guidelines due to missing QA/QC data and density measurements in the historic data base.  QA/AC and density questions could be addressed by twinning a limited number of significant historic mineralized intercepts.

September 18, 2023

Toronto, Ontario, September 18, 2023 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company“) announces its plans for exploration work on its wholly owned Nanisivik Project near Arctic Bay, Nunavut. The Company staked claims totaling 5,723 hectares over the Nanisivik Mine area in 2022. 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 ton silver (1) . In addition to the polymetallic orebody, previous exploration identified massive sulphide bodies (principally pyrite), totaling about 100 million tons (1,2) , containing base metal and silver values not economic at the time.

The Company’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol commented, “Our target at Nanisivik is an eventual resource of up to 100 million ounces of silver at a grade of 30-50 grams per ton silver. The prospectivity is supported by the reported large tonnages of pyrite bodies at Nanisivik containing anomalous concentrations of silver as well as, locally, germanium, gallium, and indium. These have not been evaluated in light of current metals prices. Our objective is to evaluate these zones to ascertain whether, in light of current metals prices, there may be concentrations of commercial interest. In addition, with a deep-sea port being constructed adjacent to the Nanisivik Mine, the pyrite bodies themselves may have significant commercial value.”

Honey Badger has mobilized a team to undertake initial mapping and sampling of the outcropping massive sulphide target. Results of this field work will be reported as they are received.

The Company also announces that the Board of Directors has approved the grant of options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company for the purchase of up to 549,000 shares in the Company exercisable at a price of $0.09 for a period of five years from date of grant. The grant is pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s existing stock option plan and is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and all regulatory requirements.

August 24, 2023

Toronto, Ontario, August 24, 2023 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company“)is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing exploration work at its wholly owned Plata Silver Project, Yukon.  The project is located in eastern Yukon, adjacent to Snowline Gold Corp.’s Rogue Project.  Field work completed this year was undertaken by a crew contracted from Archer Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited and included prospecting, geological mapping, and geochemical sampling.  A total of 308 soil and 56 rock chip samples were collected and are being assayed.  Assay results will be released when they have been received and interpreted.  The objective of this year’s field program was to further define the exploration targets at Plata and to define drill targets for future testing.

The Company’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “We remain very excited about the exploration potential at our Plata Project.  Our confidence in Plata’s potential has been fueled by recent announcements by Snowline Gold Corp.from their Rogue Project, adjacent to Plata.  Our geologic mapping this year continues to identify mineralization in a geologic setting similar to Rogue, associated with structures that provided pathways for mineralizing fluids from intrusions.  We look forward to receiving the assay results from this season’s sampling so that we can interpret them and plan the next steps of work.  Meanwhile, the field crews have mobilized to our Groundhog andClear Lake projects.”

Multiple new zones of mineralization were observed during the program, associated with previously identified soil geochemical anomalies.  Mineralization observed comprised sulphides and iron oxides associated with silicification and quartz-veining.  Field observations will be collated with assay data when they become available.  This will lead to recommendations for the next phase of work on this project.

The map below shows the location of the Company’s Plata Project in relation to Snowline Gold Corp.’s Rogue Project, where significant gold mineralization is being discovered, including a drill intercept of  553.8 metres of 2.48 g/t Au, beginning from surface (Snowline Gold News Release dated August 3, 2023).  Mineralization at Rogue is associated with Cretaceous-age intrusive rocks that comprise the Tintina Belt of gold deposits, including the Fort Knox in Alaska and Eagle deposits near Mayo in Yukon.  The geologic setting at Plata is similar, with evidence of intrusive rocks of the same age and fracture and vein style mineralization.

In the first tranche closing on April 11, 2023, the Company sold 5,256,668 HD Units for gross proceeds of $788,500.  In the second tranche closing, the Company sold an additional 1,447,000 HD Units for additional gross proceeds of $217,050.  The gross proceeds from the sale of the 6,703,668 HD Units in both closings totalled $1,005,550.

Flow-Through Offering

The flow-through component of the Offering involves the sale of units ( “FT Units“) at a price of $0.16 per FT Unit. Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one half of a common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant having the same terms as the warrants comprising the HD Units. The proceeds from the sale of the FT Units will be used to fund exploration programs on one or more of the Company’s exploration properties located in Yukon, Quebec, and Nunavut that will qualify as “Canadian Exploration Expenses” and, once renounced, “flow-through mining expenditures”, as those terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).

In the first tranche closing on April 11, 2023, the Company sold 1,234,375 FT Units for gross proceeds of $197,500.  In the second tranche closing, the Company sold an additional 365,000FT Units for additional gross proceeds of $58,400.  The proceeds from the sale of the1,599,375 FT Units in both closings totalled $255,900.

March 23, 2023

Toronto, Ontario, March 23, 2023 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (“Honey Badger” or the “Company”) is pleased to report on exploration results from its road accessible, 100%-owned Groundhog Project (“Groundhog”) in south-central Yukon.  The Project is located 50 km south of Ross River (Figure 1) and approximately 25 km west of the former Ketza Mine, which produced over 57,500 ounces of gold and 33,400 ounces of silver1 from replacement-style manto deposits within a geologic region known as the Ketza Uplift.  Groundhog hosts numerous mineralized showings with manto-hosted and fracture-hosted silver-lead-zinc mineralization.  Historical grades range up to 18,120 g/t silver, 85% lead, 23.6% zinc and 5.91 g/t gold, within the Seagull Uplift, a structural environment similar to, and tectonically linked to, the Ketza Uplift.

Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, Chief Operating Officer states, “Honey Badger would like to thank the Yukon Government for the Yukon Mineral Exploration Program grant it received to help fund our 2022 program.  We are particularly encouraged by the recognition of manto-style replacement at Groundhog, which has not been the focus of prior work on the project.  This suggests similarities to the Ketza Mine — which I am very familiar with — and the positive overall results from the 2022 program will be the focus of follow-up work on the project.”

Highlights from the 2022 program include:

  • 2,410 g/t silver, 7.8% copper, 0.27% lead and 0.75% zinc over 0.3 m (Cirque Showing).
  • 2,430 g/t silver, 0.71% copper, 21.3% lead and 6.3% zinc over 0.3 m (Cirque Showing).
  • 2,120 g/t silver, 78.6% lead, 0.45% zinc (grab from Foggy Showing).
  • 755 g/t silver, 29.2% lead, 24.7% zinc (grab from Foggy Showing); and,
  • 234 g/t silver, 11.7% lead and 3.2% zinc (grab from Rob #1 Showing).


Groundhog Program Overview:

The 2022 program included the collection of 49 rock samples and 488 soil samples. Figure 2 illustrates anomalous silver rock geochemistry, while Figures 3, 4 and 5 illustrate lead-, silver-, and gold-in-soil geochemistry.

Three main types of mineralization have been discovered on the Groundhog property: veins and breccia zones, replacement (manto) mineralization, and stratiform mineralization, as described below.

High-grade, silver-lead-zinc mineralization is hosted in veins and breccia zones that are associated with northwest-trending, steeply dipping structures, found within the Lucky and Sheep trends, and east- to northeast-trending shear zones that cut obliquely across primary structures.  Mapping in 2022 showed that gold mineralization is largely constrained to northeast-trending structures.  Dilatant zones filled by veins are found along these structural features with localized brecciation suggesting motion continued along the structures during mineralization.

Replacement mineralization is locally developed where structures hosting vein and breccia zones cut carbonate host rock.  Minimaleffort was made by previous operators to assess the potential for this type of mineralization; however, prospecting has identified mineralization that resembles replacement style zones and mantos (JW and Aztek Showings).

Stratiform mineralization occurs as finely banded galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite hosted within phyllites and tuffs in the western part of the property.  The stratiform mineralization is found within the upper plate of the Pass Peak Thrust Fault at two separate showings (Strat and Geo), located on opposite sides of a valley approximately 1,500 m apart.

Soil sampling on the property in 2022 greatly expanded the area previously covered by soil geochemistry and returned several significant, coincident, silver-lead-zinc±gold anomalies, some of which cluster on known showings, while others highlight areas for future work.

Table III- Anomalous Threshold Values for Soil Samples

 

Element Weak Moderate Strong Peak
Silver (ppm) >2 ≤5 >5 ≤10 >10 72.2
Lead (ppm) >100 ≤200 >200 ≤500 >500 34,200
Zinc (ppm) >200 ≤500 >500 ≤1000 >1000 13,900
Gold (ppb) >20 ≤50 >50 ≤100 >100 327

 

Rock sample preparation and multi-element analyses were carried out at ALS in Whitehorse, Yukon and North Vancouver, BC, respectively. Each sample was dried, fine crushed to better than 70% passing 2 mm and then a 250 g split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. The fine fractions were analyzed for gold by fire assay fusion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (Au-ICP21) and for 35 other elements using aqua regia digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ME-ICP41). Overlimit values were determined for silver, copper, lead and zinc by four acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (Ag-, Cu-, Pb-, Zn-OG62).  Samples that exceeded detection limits using Ag-OG62 were analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish techniques (Ag-GRA21).  A titration method was applied when lead exceeded 20% (Pb-VOL70).  Soil samples were prepared as described above and analyzed using Au-ICP21 and ME-ICP41.

Technical information in this news release has been approved by Kelson Willms, P.Geo., a senior geologist with Archer, Cathro& Associates (1981) Limited and qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101.
