Toronto, Ontario – February 11, 2021 – Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSX-V: TUF) (“Honey Badger Silver” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Strategic Metals Ltd. (“Strategic Metals”; TSX-V: SMD) to acquire a 100% interest in the following three silver-focused advanced properties located in the Yukon Territory, Canada:

(1) Plata: analogous geology to prolific Keno Hill silver district in the Yukon,

(2) Groundhog: higher-grade silver values reported, and

(3) Hy: demonstrated potential for high-grade silver.

“These property acquisitions have the potential to provide substantial silver upside on a per-share basis for our shareholders”, said Chad Williams, Chairman of Honey Badger. “Each of these three properties offers as much as or greater exploration upside than our current Thunder Bay portfolio which is itself very prospective for higher-grade silver.”

Ed Thorose (VP Corporate Development) and I have extensive experience in the Yukon gained during our time at Victoria Gold Corp. (TSX: VGCX). The Yukon is a great place to work given its rich mining history and substantial untapped mineral endowment. In addition, we are very pleased to partner with Strategic Metals and Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited, well-recognized as quality leaders in Yukon exploration.

Each of these properties has a very low holding cost, is at a stage where they can be advanced for relatively low amounts of money, and is located near major historical silver camps or workings” said Mr. Williams. “With the acquisition of these properties, we are executing on our goal of becoming one of the preeminent pure play silver investment vehicles with leverage to a growing and diversified portfolio of top tier silver assets”.

 

The Properties

Plata – Plata lies within the Tintina Gold Belt and displays many similarities to the Keno Hill Silver Camp located about 180 km to the west.  The Keno Hill Silver Camp is Canada’s second largest primary producer of silver with production from approximately thirty-five vein deposits between 1913 and 1989.  A reported 2,041 tonnes of hand sorted material were shipped from high grade veins on the Plata property to a smelter, yielding about 9,020 kg (290,000 ounces) of silver; this equates to a recovered silver grade of approximately 4,420 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Turner, 2009).

Groundhog – Silver mineralization was first discovered in the road-accessible Groundhog area in 1956. Since that time over one hundred showings have been discovered in the district by various operators.  One of these showings was bulk sampled in 1988 and 1995. This work resulted in the removal of 52.5 tonnes grading approximately 3,800 g/t silver. A rock sample from the property returned 11,663.5 g/t silver (Kammerer and Turner, 2010).

Hy – The road accessible Hy property covers many silver occurrences that were first discovered on the property in 1964.  Three mineralized zones were the primary focus of past exploration with the areas between them essentially unexplored.  Bulldozer trenching uncovered a chip sample that yielded 370.3 g/t silver over 3.2 metres (Mitchell, 2015).

 

Additional details about these properties can be found on the Strategic Metals website (http://www.strategicmetalsltd.com)

 

LOI Terms

In consideration for a 100% interest in the Properties, Honey Badger has agreed to issue to Strategic Metals common shares in the capital of Honey Badger equal to 19.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, and grant to Strategic Metals the right to participate on the same commercial terms as other investors in three equity financings undertaken by the Company such that Strategic’s shareholding in Honey Badger upon the closing of such financings will be equal to its Honey Badger shareholding prior to the equity financings. Strategic Metals will retain a 2% net smelter royalty on minerals other than silver.

The transaction is expected to close on or before April 30, 2021.

The Management of Honey Badger intends to participate in at least 50% of a $3 million contemplated concurrent financing subject to terms defined in the Definitive Agreement which is anticipated to be completed prior to March 12, 2021.

The Company’s Thunder Bay Silver Project is located a short 20-minute drive from the City of Thunder Bay which serves as a hub for much of the mining and mineral exploration in northwestern Ontario.

The Thunder Bay Silver District is a prime setting for high-grade polymetallic silver (as well as cobalt, gold, zinc and lead) mineralization. Bonanza-grade silver veins were discovered in the 1840’s and over five million ounces of silver were produced up to 1900s when the price of silver crashed. Importantly, the district has geologic similarities to the world-class Cobalt Silver Camp in north-eastern Ontario, one of the most productive silver districts in the world with 442 million ounces of silver produced. Despite these similarities, since mining activities ceased in the late 1800’s, the Thunder Bay Silver District remains largely unexplored by modern exploration techniques.

A small and isolated diamond drilling program completed in the 1960s by Arjon Gold Mines Ltd. down-plunge of historic workings at the Beaver Mine, returned 1,239 g/t Ag over 1 metre (Arjon Gold Mines Ltd., 1963, Work Report No. 12, AFRI 52A05SE0027, 11p.). The Beaver Silver Mine is the third largest silver mine in the district which produced 500,000 ounces of silver at an average grade of 0.26% silver.  (Szetu, 1969)

Additional high-grade silver intercepts returned from Honey Badger’s 2018-2019 drill program at the historic Beaver vein workings, which remain open down plunge include:

  • BM-18-004: 921 g/t Ag over 1.4 m (new vein)
  • BM-18-006: 682 g/t Ag over 2.4 m, including 1,254 g/t Ag over 1. 2m
  • BM-19-014: 1,004 g/t Ag over 4.0 m (new vein) including 1,674 g/t Ag over 2.4 m
  • Hole BM-19-014 also intersected a second silver-bearing vein that returned 69.2 g/t silver over 1.8 m indicating likelihood of more silver veins in the vicinity of the Beaver Mine

Lateral extensions of a number of additional historic mine workings remain to be tested at the Beaver Silver Property, including the Stewardson Mine, Elgin Mine and Black Fox Mine.
