Proactive - Interviews for investors

Silver North Resources CEO Jason Weber joined Steve Darling from Proactive on the company’s ongoing 2024 exploration activities at the Tim silver property in Yukon, which is currently under option to and operated by Coeur Mining. The exploration efforts have made significant headway, with over 1,300 meters of diamond drilling completed across four holes.

Weber explained to Proactive that the diamond drilling at the Tim Property is primarily focused on testing the potential for both stratiform and structural styles of Carbonate Replacement Deposit mineralization. The primary target of this drilling campaign is the Wolf Fault, a northwest-striking, steeply southwest-dipping structure. This fault runs parallel to the regionally significant Kechika Fault, which extends from the Silvertip land package through the Tim Property and onto Silver North’s Veronica Project.

To date, all four drilled holes have successfully intersected the strongly oxidized Wolf structure and its parallel splays. Notably, the Wolf Fault has been observed to bring the overlying Kechika phyllite and argillites into fault contact with the underlying Rosella Limestone Formation—a key prospective horizon for CRD mineralization. At greater depths, additional parallel structures to the Wolf Fault have been encountered within the Boya Formation argillites, which lie beneath the Rosella limestones. These geological features indicate that the Wolf Fault target at Tim could be part of a larger and potentially productive CRD system.

In addition to the ongoing drilling, Coeur Mining has plans to complete a total of six drill holes, targeting approximately 2,200 meters. Expanding on the initial 2024 exploration program, Coeur will also conduct two detailed airborne geophysical surveys over the entire project area. These surveys will include magnetics and radiometrics, along with a Mobile MT survey, which has the potential to detect conductive features at greater depths than those revealed by the recent SkyTEM airborne survey.

The expanded exploration program is expected to wrap up by early September. The results from these efforts will provide critical insights into the mineral potential of the Tim silver property and guide future exploration activities. As Silver North Resources and Coeur Mining continue their collaborative efforts, the Tim Property remains a promising asset in the quest to uncover valuable mineral resources in the Yukon.

London's FTSE 100 made a low-key start to what looks on paper to be a low-key week.

Blue chips were down by around twelve points at 8,298 in early deals with retailer Frasers topping the gainers, possibly on the demise of Ted Baker.

Housebuilders were also in the spotlight as Rightmove reported that the cut in interest rates by the Bank of England has led to an immediate surge in buyers returning to the housing market

Following an 11% uptick in July, the number of prospective buyers contacting estate agents has climbed by 19% since the first of August, the property portal said Monday.

Housebuilders Barratt Developments and Redrow meanwhile are set to complete their £2.5 billion merger by the end of the week, they said in a statement today.

Trading platform Plus500 was a good early riser after stating it expects its full-year performance to be “ahead of current market expectations” after a robust set of interim results.

Proactive's Billy Farrington provides a summary of recent developments in the cryptocurrency market.

Over the past week, Bitcoin showed less volatility compared to the previous week but remained underwhelming. The cryptocurrency's value dropped by approximately 6% against the US dollar, despite a brief 2% increase following a US wholesale inflation report. However, it declined again after consumer inflation data was released, which was unexpected as softer inflation figures usually benefit risk assets like Bitcoin. This decline was partly attributed to a significant $1 billion outflow of Tether stablecoins, suggesting reduced risk appetite among crypto traders.

Furthermore, the discussion touched on recent political developments in the US, where cryptocurrency is becoming a bipartisan issue. While Donald Trump has positioned himself as a pro-crypto candidate, recent remarks from Democratic leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, indicate a growing interest in supporting common-sense regulation for the crypto industry. This suggests that cryptocurrency could become a key topic in upcoming US presidential debates.
