Silver North Signs Significant Drill and Geophysical Contracts for 2026 Silver Exploration at Haldane, YT

(TheNewswire)

• Two year drill contract with Boartkeeps 2 drills on site for 10,000 to 14,000 metres ofdrilling. 

• Haldane SkyTEM contract will assistin refining drill hole targeting at Main, West, Bighorn, Johnson andMiddlecoff targets.  

• Airborne Geophysics contracted forthe Veronica Silver Project for initial drill hole targeting. 

Vancouver, BC, March 9, 2026– TheNewswire - Silver North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SNAG, OTCQB:TARSF, Frankfurt: I90, “Silver North” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a twoyear drill contract with Boart Longyear (“Boart”) for the fullyfunded 2026 and 2027 Haldane silver exploration programs. In addition,Silver North has signed contracts for airborne geophysical surveys atboth it’s Haldane and Veronica projects.

Jason Weber, President & CEO., noted that “We are extremelypleased to be in a strong financial position and to have the abilityto lock in this two year contract with Boart for drilling at Haldane.This gives us certainty of executing our plan for 5,000 – 7,000metres of drilling each year for potential expansion of the Main Faultwhere our previously announced drilling results returned from HLD25-31 include 3.2 metres averaging 2,014 g/tsilver, 1.72 g/t gold, 4.73% lead and 1.1% zinc within a larger 13.15metre intersection of 818 g/t silver, 1.39 g/t gold, 2.54% lead and0.98% zinc. With two drills available to us, we now have theflexibility to simultaneously test our numerous exploration targets onthe Haldane Project.”

Haldane Drilling Contract

The drilling contract between Siver North and Boart will see twodiamond drilling rigs provided for the entirety of the 2026 and 2027field seasons. Mobilization of the two drills and supporting equipmentwill occur around the middle of March with the equipment ready and inposition to start the drilling campaign as soon as weather and theexploration season allow. This is expected to be no later than thefirst week of June.

Drilling will focus on expanding the Main Fault target where all 9holes that have reached the target have returned significant widthsand grades of silver-gold-lead-zinc vein mineralization. Additionaltargets slated for drill testing include Bighorn where a drilldiscovery made in 2019 has never been followed up. The targetfootprint at Bighorn consists of anomalous soil geochemistry andanomalous silver bearing structures encountered in trenching over 600metre strike length surrounding the one drill hole. Further drillmeterage is reserved for refined targets from the airborne geophysicalsurvey and associated Johnson, West Fault and Middlecoff targets.

Airborne Geophysical Survey

Silver North has also signed a contract with SkyTEM Canada Inc.(“SkyTEM”) to conduct a SkyTEM312 survey over the Haldane project.The survey will consist of 100 metre spaced flight lines with 1,000metre spaced tie lines for a total of 944 line-kilometres of survey.The survey will collect both magnetics and time domainelectro-magnetic data. The purpose of the survey is to aid detaileddrill hole targeting by refining the underlying geology as well ashelping define Haldane’s complex structural architecture.

Veronica Airborne Geophysical Survey

Silver North has also signed a contract with Geotech Ltd.(“Geotech”) to conduct a VTEM survey over the Veronica project.The survey will consist of 100 metre spaced flight lines with 1,000metre spaced tie lines for a total of 243 line-kilometres of survey.The survey will collect both magnetics and time domainelectro-magnetic data. The goals for the survey are to help map theproperty geology that is largely obscured by overburden, and toprovide information about the structural architecture of the projectarea, potentially revealing structures that could host mineralization. Mineralization discovered at Veronica in 2025 included a floatcobble sample at the Lodge Showing that returned 2,860 g/t Ag, 0.412g/t Au, 76.8% Pb and 0.18% Zn and a rock grab sample from anoutcropping brecciated and silicified fault zone at the Cooper Showingthat returned 33.17 g/t Ag, 1.36 % lead and 0.4% Zn (see news releasedated December 11, 2025). The VTEM survey has the potential todirectly detect potential fault hosted sulphide mineralization andsulphide bearing CRD related manto styles of mineralization in thesubsurface.
