Adams Plateau Project, British Columbia, Canada
The Adams Plateau Project is strategically positioned in a proven mining district near Kamloops, British Columbia, with excellent infrastructure. With a focus on SEDEX-VMS type polymetallic deposits, which are known for their scale and richness, the project offers a significant opportunity for value creation through the discovery of high-grade mineral resources.
Exploration at Adams Plateau Project is primarily focused on sediment-hosted massive sulphides within the prolific Eagle Bay Assemblage with silver, copper, gold zinc, lead, and being the primary commodities of interest with other critical minerals like graphite and antimony.
Location
The Adams Plateau Project is located approximately 40 kilometers north of Chase, British Columbia, and 100km north east of Kamloops, BC with all-season graded road access, with power and rail nearby.
Property Size
The wholly-owned project covers an area of 150 square kilometers.
Ownership
100% owned by Silver47, providing complete control over exploration and development activities.
Highlights
Target Deposit Type
SEDEX (Sedimentary Exhalative) deposits, known for their high-grade silver, lead, zinc, copper, and gold mineralization.
Historic Exploration
Extensive exploration of silver-lead-zinc mineralization has taken place between 1925 and 1990, with 137 assessment reports dating back to 1949, that suggest a large multi-phase fold system with well-developed foliations and reverse/normal faults, indicating significant potential for further discoveries. Historical drilling on the Adams Plateau Project returned 4.8 meters of 348 g/t silver, 0.72 g/t gold, 2.7% lead-zinc at the Spar Target. Drilling at the Lucky showing returned 3.66 meters of 180 g/t silver, 8.1% lead-zinc. with surface rock grabs up to 4000 g/t silver, 7% copper. Recent rock samples collected by Silver47 have returned (3503 g/t silver, 1.0 g/t gold, 29% lead-zinc) and (1380 g/t silver, 6.5 g/t gold, 25% lead-zinc).
Mineralization
Comprised of disseminated to massive sulphide lenses with pyrrhotite-sphalerite-galena and locally high precious metal content, including chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite layers.
Exploration Activities
Surface Geochemistry
- Historical Sampling: 7,021 soil samples, 115 rock samples, 79 silt samples
- Recent Work (2022-2024): 2,547 soil samples and 300 rock samples collected. Property-wide LiDAR and orthophotos have been completed to refine exploration targets
2024 Exploration Program
- Focus on expanding geochemical anomalies and identifying drill-ready targets for 2025
- A 5-year Multi-Year Area-Based (MYAB) permit application has been submitted to support ongoing exploration activities
- Ongoing efforts to infill gaps in current claims to enhance project continuity
Infrastructure & Access
The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, with all-season road access that facilitates year-round exploration activities. Proximity to existing mining operations and regional services enhances the project's development potential.
