  • Historic resource of ~240 Moz AgEq M&I + 167 Moz AgEq inferred ¹
  • Fully permitted underground mine
  • Existing infrastructure including underground development and mill

¹ The historical estimates for Prairie Creek is supported by a technical report dated October 15, 2021 prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, completed by Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc., for NorZinc Ltd., which is currently the parent company of CZC. The historical estimates contained in this news release have not been verified as current mineral resources. A “qualified person” (as defined in NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The Company considers the historical estimates to be relevant for the proper understanding of the Project, however, significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person for the historical estimates to be in accordance with NI 43-101 standards and to verify the historical estimates as current mineral resources.

Canada’s Next High-Grade Silver–Zinc–Lead Mine

PC Silver Project is a high-grade silver-zinc-lead underground mining project located in the Mackenzie Mountains of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The project has seen significant historical investment and development, including underground workings, surface infrastructure, and extensive engineering studies.

Honey Badger Silver acquired the project through the purchase of Canadian Zinc Corporation, gaining 100% ownership of one of the most advanced undeveloped silver projects in North America.

Key Investment Highlights

Fully Permitted Mine

The project already holds key regulatory approvals including water licences, land use permits and environmental assessment approvals.

Exceptional Grades

Historic resources show very high silver-equivalent grades, with strong zinc and lead by-product credits.

Existing Infrastructure

Includes underground development, mill facilities, airstrip and road access.

Large Silver Exposure

Historic drilling shows that this is a district scale system.

Why PC Silver Project Is a World-Class Silver Asset

High-Grade Silver Resource

PC Silver Project hosts an exceptionally high-grade polymetallic resource containing approximately 240 million ounces of silver equivalent in Measured and Indicated resources and 167 million ounces in Inferred resources . The deposit combines strong silver grades with significant zinc and lead by-product credits, creating one of the highest-grade undeveloped silver assets in the world.

Fully Permitted Project

PC Silver Project is one of the few advanced silver projects in Canada that has already received key regulatory approvals, including environmental assessment approvals, water licences, and land use permits. This significantly reduces development risk compared with typical exploration-stage projects.

Existing Infrastructure

The project benefits from extensive historical investment including underground mine development, mill facilities, site infrastructure, an airstrip, and road access. More than $200 million has been invested historically, positioning PC Silver Project for potential restart and development.

District-Scale Exploration Potential

The PC Silver Project mineralized system extends for over 16 kilometres of strike length, while the current mine plan only covers a small portion of the known mineralized corridor . Multiple zones remain open along strike and at depth, providing significant potential for resource expansion.
QA/QC-Verified Results

Mineral Analysis Completed

Samples were submitted to ALS Minerals in North Vancouver. Multi-element analysis was completed for rocks and drill core by ME-ICP61, and soils by ME-ICP41. Gold analysis was completed using AU-AA25. Overlimit samples were analyzed using ME-OG62 respectively. All analysis passed standard QA/QC procedures.

Targeted Commodity: Silver, lead, zinc
Size Plata: ≈5770 Hectares
Location: Yukon, Canada

Within Plata Thrust Fault

Discovering the
Aho Zone

Importantly, drilling from 2008 to 2011 has demonstrated that the P-3 and P-4 veins are part of a larger, semi-continuous, mineralized system referred to as the Aho Zone, which is developed within the plane of the Plata Thrust Fault and varies from 0.3 to 3.0 metres in width. This zone extends intermittently over a total strike length of 800 metres and to a maximum of 580 metres downdip and remains open to extension along strike and downdip (Figure 1).

Technical Information Approval

The scientific and technical information contained on this page relating to the PC Silver Project has been reviewed and approved by Benjamin Kuzmich, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101).

The mineral resource estimates referenced for the PC Silver Project are historical estimates and are based on a technical report dated October 15, 2021 prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 for NorZinc Ltd.

Honey Badger Silver Inc. has not completed sufficient work to classify these historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources. The historical estimates are considered relevant to understanding the potential of the project; however, additional work including data verification, drilling, sampling, and engineering studies will be required by a Qualified Person before the historical estimates can be verified or upgraded to current mineral resources in accordance with NI 43-101.
