Metallurgy Advances In Idaho And Breaks Into Arizona Target Zone


ONTARIO - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (SBMI) announced significant achievements related to the Washington Mine in Idaho and the Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona. In Idaho, the Company has engaged the Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP) of Montana Technical University, part of Montana University, to provide it with mineralogy, gravity, and flotation testwork. In Arizona, the field team has broken into what it believes to be the higher-grade mineralized zone, which appears to be located exactly where predicted by the historical records and SBMI's own work.

SBMI purchased the past-producing Washington Mine on patented lands in Idaho in December, 2020. In January, assay results from a blended bulk sample at the Washington Mine site averaged 55.5 ounces of silver per tonne. Values reported in that press release ran as high as 180 ounces silver per tonne and 18 grams of gold per tonne. Historical records and SBMI's field work lead management to believe the Washington Mine is capable of near-term revenue generation.

A. John Carter, CEO, "We knew from historical records the Washington Mine was going to be good. We didn't know it would be this good. We have to invest into the property to get it ready for mining."

To advance its knowledge of the Washington Mine, SBMI has entered into an agreement with CAMP. Established in 1989, CAMP is a Montana University System designated Center of Excellence in Research and Education, located on the campus of Montana Technological University. CAMP's activities involve three components, namely, an analytical testing laboratory, a materials testing laboratory, and research program management.

SBMI will use CAMP's results to design a flowsheet intended to maximize the recoveries at the Washington Mine in Idaho and to reduce overall milling costs for the Washington Mine ore. This relationship with CAMP is made possible at this time by the Company currently carrying out a financing to buttress its treasury.

The current plan, depending upon the quantum raised in the current ongoing financing and the results from CAMP's tests, is to be on site at the Washington Mine by the end of March, 2022 and to then immediately commence collecting mineralized material. That material will come from surface, having been hauled to surface by prior owners who were seeking gold, and from development of the historical underground workings. The goal is to be generating revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022. This is another example of SBMI thinking outside the box by establishing a cash flow model to fund future operations, reduce dilution, and create value for its shareholders.

The field team in Arizona last week blasted into what is believed to be the higher-grade silver mineralized zone at the Buckeye Silver Mine. As previously disclosed SBMI's target is the high-grade silver zone identified in 1976 by K.C. Delise, an Arizona geologist, in a report titled Surface/Underground Mapping and Sampling. In his report he mapped and identified this zone as extending approximately 500 feet along strike. Locating what is believed to be the higher-grade silver zone is a major development as it should provide SBMI's mill with higher-grade material, which can be blended with lower-grade material to increase the mill's operating efficiencies, along with validating the Company's mine plan for the Buckeye. Plus the mineralized zone appears to be located exactly where predicted by SBMI's field team. This gives a very high level of confidence as to future decisions at the Buckeye and at SBMI's other past-producing mines.
