Andrew Pollard, President and CEO of Blackrock Silver (TSX.V:BRC – OTCQX:BKRRF), joins me to discuss some of the recent high-grade silver and gold assays returned from the next batch of 9 holes from the ongoing M&I Conversion drill program on its 100% owned Tonopah West project in Nevada, United States.
We start off reviewing the headline drill hole# TXC25-138 which returned multiple broad zones of high-grade silver and gold mineralization including:
- 4.24 metres grading 700 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (Ag/Au ratio 90:1) (378.5 g/t silver (Ag) and 3.57 g/t gold (Au)) from 230 metres down hole, including 0.31 metres grading 3,182 g/t AgEq (1,805.0 g/t Ag and 15.27 g/t Au).
- This hole also included 5.18 metres grading 556 gt/ AgEq (328.2 g/t Ag and 2.53 g/t Au) from 236.68 metres, which included intervals of 3,340 g/t AgEq (1,987 g/t Ag and15.0 g/t Au) over 0.31 metres and 1,714 g/t AgEq (1,037.0 g/t Ag and 7.51 g/t Au) over 0.61 metres respectively.
We discussed that goals of this drill program have been 2-fold:
- converting resources from inferred to measured and indicated, and improving the continuity of mineralization, and raising the overall grade profile of the deposit
- there is also a fair amount of expansion drilling underway expanding resources
There are still 10 drill holes with pending assays from the M&I Conversion Program, and and additional 7 more drill holes that are pending assays from the Resource Expansion program.
Modelling of the M&I Conversion Program drillholes is now underway, with an updated mineral resource estimate on track for Q3, 2025, likely in September.
Andrew reviews that company is also drilling holes for hydrology studies and advancing the permitting progress on this patented land in Nevada.
