BP SILVER OUTLINES 2026 WORK PROGRAM AT COSUÑO
BP Silver Corp. has outlined its 2026 exploration work program at its Cosuno silver project (Cosuno) in Bolivia. Geochemical sampling, geological mapping and road construction activities commenced in March, 2026, and are continuing across multiple target areas within the large property package. These, and other programs outlined below, are necessary to launch a phase 2 drill program later this year.
"Following the successful completion of our upsized $10-million financing and highly successful phase 1 drill program, we are advancing Cosuno through an aggressive 2026 exploration campaign. We believe Cosuno has the potential to become a Tier 1 silver project," stated Tim Shearcroft, founder and chief executive officer. "MAG survey equipment is currently being mobilized and logistics are being finalized ahead of the survey commencement. In addition, a drilling contractor has already been secured and will be ready to commence the phase 2 drill program following completion of the MAG survey and review of all other data collected. With multiple high-priority targets advancing simultaneously, we look forward to providing shareholders with exploration updates in the near future."
Cosuno 2026 work program
The 2026 work program consists of the following key components:
- Construction of access roads to all principal Cosuno targets;
- Systematic channel sampling of the principal vein and breccia structures exposed across the property;
- Completion of a property-wide airborne magnetic (MAG) survey;
- A phase 2 drilling program designed to follow up on the success of the phase 1 campaign (see news releases dated Feb. 2 and Feb. 27, 2026). The phase 2 program is budgeted for approximately 2,000 metres of drilling and will focus on:
- Testing extensions of high-grade silver intercepts encountered in DH CO-0008 and CO-0009 at Pocanita Chica (see Feb. 27, 2026, news release for full details).
- CO-0008 return 38 m at 116.39 grams per tonne Ag:
- Including five m at 660.40 g/t Ag;
- Including one m at 1,655.00 g/t Ag.
- CO-0009 return 58 m at 46.23 g/t Ag:
- Including six m at 147.10 g/t Ag;
- Including one m at 526.00 g/t Ag.
- Initial testing of newly discovered targets by drilling shallow holes ranging from 50 to 100 metres in length. The 1,000-metre-long vein recently discovered at Jalsuri North East is anticipated to be one of these targets.
- An induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey over the principal Cosuno targets;
- Completion of a phase 3 drilling program. The phase 3 program will benefit from the integration of geological mapping, channel sampling, MAG and IP geophysical surveys, and prior drilling results. Together, these data sets are expected to improve significantly the company's understanding of the geometry, continuity, scale, and tenor of the vein and breccia systems across Cosuno.
