Dolly Varden intercepts 31 metres grading 302 g/t Silver in the Kitsol Zone, including 10 metres grading 432 g/t Silver

2018-11-19 / @newswire

 

VANCOUVER, Nov 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSXV: "DV" – OTCBB: "DOLLF") (the "Company", or "Dolly Varden") is pleased to announce the results of the fourth batch of 29 drill holes from the 2018 diamond drilling program. In total, this year's program consisted of 29,108 metres in 84 drill holes. There are still 25 drill holes to be announced pending receipt of assays. The Dolly Varden Silver Property is in "The Golden Triangle" of northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

Dolly Varden Silver Corp. (CNW Group/Dolly Varden Silver Corp.)

In the Kitsol Zone, located 1.5 km northwest of the Torbrit Mine, hole DV18-131 yielded 31.00 metres (30.38 m estimated true thickness) grading Ag 302.2 g/t, Pb 0.26 % and Zn 0.41 %, for a silver-equivalent of 336.2 g/t. Within this intercept are 10.00 metres (9.80 m estimated true thickness) grading Ag 431.5 g/t, Pb 0.08 % and Zn 0.23 %, for a silver-equivalent of 447.8 g/t.

In the Dolly Varden Mine area, below the historic mine workings, hole DV18-142 yielded two zones the lower of which is base metal rich and contained 7.85 metres (6.01 m estimated true thickness) grading Ag 71.2 g/t, Pb 5.43 % and Zn 3.92 %, for a silver-equivalent of 532.6 g/t. Within this intercept are 1.2 metres (0.92 m estimated true thickness) grading Ag 110.9 g/t, Pb 20.77 % and Zn 8.36 %, for a silver-equivalent of 1,506.7 g/t.

Gary Cope, President & CEO, says; "The Kitsol Zone represents a promising high-grade silver target on the property. It is outside of the 2015 resource estimate block model. In addition, base metals in the lower projection of the Dolly Varden Mine area are becoming a significant part of the Dolly Varden story."

The Musketeer and Goldbelt exploration holes have been recorded in two tables separately from the Torbrit and Dolly Varden Mines area. The Musketeer area is located approximately 2.5 km north of the Torbrit Mine in the same structural and alteration trend. The Goldbelt is a gold-silver-copper target area on the western side of the Kitsault River, 3.5 km northwest of the Torbrit Mine.

Silver Equivalent (Ag-Eq) is based on long term metal prices of Ag=$16.00/oz, Pb=$1.08/lb and Zn=$1.25/lb. No provision has been made for relative metal recovery, so Ag-Eq values assume 100% recovery. Ag-Eq = Ag + (Pb%*22.046*Pbprice*31.103/Agprice) + (Zn%*22.046*Znprice*31.103/Agprice).

Gold Equivalent (Au-Eq) is based on long term metal prices of Au=$1,200/oz, Ag=$16.00/oz, and Cu=$2.80/lb. No provision has been made for relative metal recovery, so Au-Eq values assume 100% recovery. Au-Eq = Au + (Ag*Agprice/Auprice) + (Cu%*22.046*Cuprice*31.103/Auprice).

A mineralized zone does not normally receive a name designation until several intercepts have pierced the same structure. The term "Unnamed" is used for intercepts of interest, but which have not yet been linked from hole to hole.

The 2018 drilling program is designed to focus on resource delineation and verification, particularly in the areas of the new discoveries from the 2017 exploration season (see news releases of August 29, November 27 and December 4, 2017). These include Torbrit North, Torbrit East and Moose-Lamb targets, as well as areas around the Torbrit and the Dolly Varden deposits.

The Torbrit North and Torbrit East discoveries are of the exhalative-style of silver and base metal mineralization along the Dolly Varden – Torbrit Horizon ("DVTH"), similar to the historic Torbrit Mine, but located in parallel and/or fault offset basins. The Torbrit North target is located 200 metres north and 220 metres deeper than the historic Torbrit Mine, in the footwall block northeast of the Moose-Lamb Fault. The Torbrit East target is located 70 metres east and 60 metres higher than the historic Torbrit Mine, in the hanging-wall block southwest of the Moose-Lamb Fault.

The Moose Lamb target discovery is an epithermal vein-style of mineralization and is similar to mineralization at the historic Dolly Varden Mine. It is adjacent to a major syn-basinal fault by the same name. The Kitsol Zone also shows similarities to the epithermal vein-style mineralization.

Exploration drilling was undertaken in the Potassic Alteration Belt – Musketeer Sector and in the pyrite-sericite alteration Goldbelt Sector on the western side of the valley.

Analytical testing was performed by ALS Canada Ltd. in Vancouver, British Columbia. Multi-element analyses was determined by Inductively–Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for 48 elements following a 4-acid digestion process. High grade silver testing was determined by Fire Assay with either an atomic absorption, or a gravimetric finish, depending on grade range. A QA/QC procedure is maintained through the insertion of certified geo-standards provided by CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd., as well as the insertion of blanks, in the sample stream.

Technical Information and Qualified Persons

Ben Whiting, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration and Robert van Egmond, P.Geo., Chief Geologist for Dolly Varden, serve as 'Qualified Persons' as defined in NI 43-101, and have approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

This release may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of Dolly Varden to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements or information relates to, among other things, the results of previous field work and programs, results of mineral resource estimate on the project, the potential to grow the project, the potential to expand the mineralization, the planning for further exploration work, the ability to de-risk the potential exploration targets, and our belief about the unexplored portion of the property. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs but given the uncertainties, assumptions and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements or information. The Company disclaims any obligation to update, or to publicly announce, any such statements, events or developments except as required by law.
