SUPREME CRITICAL METALS EXPANDS SILVER VISTA SILVER-COPPER PROJECT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Supreme Critical Metals Inc. has significantly expanded the size of the Silver Vista project, increasing the area by 2,197 hectares (52-per-cent increase) to a total of 6,444 hectares (64.4 square kilometres). The company has an option to earn a 100-per-cent interest in the Silver Vista property, and the new claims were staked by a representative for the company.
The original Silver Vista property (circa 2012) at one time covered over 720 square kilometres. This recent acquisition follows a review of an extensive regional database assembled by the company, comprising more than 8,000 soil and 700 stream sediment samples, and an airborne magnetic geophysical survey. The new claims were staked to strategically cover the most favourable target areas with similar geochemical signature to the MR zone silver-copper mineralization, hosted in fossiliferous sandstones of the Smithers formation.
"Significantly expanding our property over geological targets similar to the MR zone silver-copper mineralization strengthens our focus for discovery of additional stratiform, sediment-hosted, stacked silver-copper horizons with bulk-tonnage potential," stated Glen Watson, chief executive officer of Supreme Critical. "Plans for a summer program on the newly staked targets is in progress, and will commence when weather allows. The combination of silver and copper as principal metals is favourable given the record current prices for both silver and copper."
Key highlights
Silver Vista 2 target -- based on regional stream sediment sampling and follow-up soil sampling by previous companies, the Silver Vista 2 target was a priority selection based on a anomalous multielement signature (silver-copper-lead-zinc-arsenic plus of minus gold) similar in magnitude to the MR zone target and identified initially by limited soil samples (source: B.C. assessment report No. 35060). Silver is the most prominent anomalous metal, with peak values of 2.8 parts per million silver. While gold-in-soil values are rare at the MR zone target, one sample over the Silver Vista 2 target returned 23.4 parts per billion gold. Based on the provincial MapPlace website, the Silver Vista 2 is interpreted to be underlain by Smithers formation sediments.
These soil/stream sediment results are derived from historic work disclosed in assessment report No. 35060. The company's qualified person has not verified the underlying sampling, analytical methods or quality assurance/quality control, and the results should not be relied upon until confirmed by the company.
Far West target -- the Far West target was also identified based on soil sampling by previous operators with anomalous values for copper and silver indicated and interpreted as underlain by Smithers formation sediments.
The historic stream sediment results are based on third party data that have not been independently verified by the company's qualified person and are considered historical in nature.
Improved logistics -- in 2012, the Silver Vista 2 and Far West targets were remote, with activities requiring helicopter access. Since 2012 extensive logging has occurred and continues on the newly acquired claims, and logging roads are within three kilometres of the Silver Vista 2 target that crosscuts and transverses the Far West target.
North Flank -- Silver Vista MR target -- in addition to the two new targets recently staked, additional claims were acquired along the northern boundary, north of the MR zone.
Territory acknowledgment
Supreme recognizes that the Silver Vista property lies within the traditional and unceded territory of the Lake Babine Nation. It honours the Lake Babine people's enduring connection to this land, and it commits to carrying out its exploration activities with respect, integrity and a spirit of partnership, guided by respect for indigenous rights, cultures and heritage.
About Silver Vista silver-copper property
The Silver Vista silver-copper property is a 6,444-hectare, road-accessible, year-round exploration project located near Smithers, B.C. The property hosts stratiform, sediment-hosted, stacked copper-silver horizons with bulk-tonnage potential. Historic (2021) drilling has returned broad mineralized zones, including 46 metres averaging 48 grams per tonne silver and 0.62 per cent copper, with higher-grade intervals, and multiple untested targets remain across a district-scale mineralized system.
The historical drilling results referenced above are taken from prior operators' work and predate the company's involvement with the property. A qualified person has not verified these data, and Supreme is not treating the historical results as current mineral resources or reserves. These results should not be relied upon and are referenced for illustrative purposes only. Additional work, including drilling and assay verification, will be required to confirm and validate the historical information.
