British Columbia

Independence Gold (IEGCF) is advancing its 2025 exploration at the 3Ts Project in British Columbia, near Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Mine. A 16 line-km IP geophysical survey is completed, and 1,100 soil samples are collected for MMI analysis to identify gold, silver, and critical mineral anomalies. Geological mapping, rock sampling, and environmental studies are also underway. The project features at least 19 mineralized veins, with strike lengths up to 1,100m and widths up to 32m. Avison Management handles environmental monitoring.

Silicon Metals Corp. (CSE:SI) has received five-year exploration permits from the B.C. Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals for its Ptarmigan Silica Project in British Columbia. The permits, effective from July 31, 2025, to December 30, 2030, authorize surface drilling, trenching, and bulk sampling of up to 2,000 tonnes. This milestone allows the company to explore the project’s high-purity silica potential. The project is wholly-owned by Silicon Metals and is located approximately 130 kilometers northeast of Prince George.

Silver47 Exploration (AAGAF) is finalizing its 2025 exploration program at British Columbia’s Adams Plateau Project, targeting SEDEX silver-zinc-copper-gold-lead deposits. Collecting 5,008 soil and 76 rock samples revealed high-grade results, including recent surface samples up to 3,503 g/t Ag and historic intercepts of 4.8m @ 348 g/t Ag. The consolidated 150 km² property unifies 25+ mineral occurrences under a new 5-year permit, supported by robust infrastructure. While surface data highlights district-scale potential, challenges include verification of historical drill records and limited exploration continuity beyond known zones.
