VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Exploration firm Bayhorse Silver (OTCQB: BHSIF) has finalized plans for a comprehensive induced polarization (IP) survey at its Pegasus silver-copper project in Idaho, strategically positioned 600 meters east of its producing Bayhorse Silver Mine. This decisive move follows promising airborne electromagnetic (VTEM) survey results and geological mapping that exposed substantial geophysical anomalies, including visible copper oxide mineralizations.

The upcoming IP program will cover over one-third of the Pegasus property, targeting three distinct mineralization models: potential high-grade silver extensions mirroring the adjacent Bayhorse Mine, a copper porphyry system, and a gold-enriched skarn formation. This multi-target approach gains credibility from historical assays reporting up to 10 g/t gold at Bayhorse’s existing operations, with anomalous gold also identified during recent Pegasus field reconnaissance.

In a notable strategic advantage, CEO Graeme O’Neill highlighted potential regulatory tailwinds from President Trump’s recently enacted Big Beautiful Bill (BBB), which aims to accelerate mine permitting while offering tax incentives for critical mineral projects. “With our permitted Idaho processing infrastructure, Bayhorse stands positioned to capitalize on streamlined approvals and domestic production incentives,” O’Neill stated. He further noted Idaho’s favorable jurisdiction provides operational stability amid changing federal policy landscapes.

Despite the promising geological indicators, material exploration risks persist. The virtually unexplored terrain requires validation drilling to confirm mineralization theories derived from surface-level evidence. The IP survey represents a critical next step in de-risking these prospects without establishing substantive resource estimates.

Beyond Pegasus, Bayhorse maintains processing capabilities in Idaho that can handle up to 200 tons daily, utilizing advanced ore-sorting technology to enhance efficiency. The operation lies 44 km from Hercules Metals’ significant copper discovery, suggesting strategic positioning within an emerging mineral district.
