Silver One commences drilling at Cherokee Project in Nevada
ilver One Resources has commenced a 1,500-metre diamond drilling program on its 100% owned Cherokee Project in eastern Nevada, USA. Cherokee is a district-sized exploration play with multiple epithermal vein targets that have never been drill tested, plus excellent discovery potential for additional mineralized systems within the company’s extensive property
holdings. The current drilling will test rich silver-copper-gold epithermal vein targets, both along-strike and to depth, on patented claims overlying the past producing Cherokee and Southeast Cherokee historic workings. Additional drilling of veins and targets outside patented land, but still within the company’s claims, is planned for 2022 following environmental permitting. Surface sampling along the Cherokee
vein system has returned multiple select surface samples in the 100’s g/t silver range, with highs of 954 g/t silver and 4.8% copper at Cherokee, and 1,163 g/t silver and 4.3% copper with strongly elevated gold on the Southeast Cherokee vein. These veins have been traced on the patented claims alone for over 1.75 km along strike and are known to extend off the patents to both the northwest and southeast.
