The latest update is out from Blackrock Silver ( (TSE:BRC) ).
Blackrock Silver has mobilized drill rigs for a fully funded, 17,100 metre, two-phased resource expansion program at its Tonopah West silver-gold project in Nevada, targeting both eastern and northwestern extensions of the known mineralized system. The company will deploy cost-efficient RC/Core hybrid drilling across 30 sites to follow up on shallow, high-grade zones along the Pittsburg-Monarch fault and to test extensions of the Denver and Paymaster veins, guided by newly acquired seismic data.
The Eastern Expansion program will drill 9,100 metres across 20 holes to pursue shallow, thick, high-grade silver and gold zones in multiple northwest-oriented structures interpreted as splays off the ore-controlling Pittsburg-Monarch fault. This work aims to replicate historically significant mineralization similar to the Victor and Ohio veins and could materially grow near-surface resources, enhancing the project’s development appeal.
The NW Expansion program will complete 8,000 metres over 10 holes, focusing on extending the Denver and Paymaster veins along strike and down dip, including an 800 metre step-out hole in the northwestern part of Tonopah West based on seismic interpretations of the caldera margin. Success here would demonstrate that the system remains open and potentially world-class in size and grade, strengthening Blackrock’s position in a key silver-gold district.
In parallel, Blackrock is nearing completion of its Phase-2 hydrology program, installing piezometer and water monitoring wells to characterize groundwater conditions in the proposed decline and test mining area. These data are expected to support permitting for an exploration decline, test mining and bulk sampling targeted for the second half of 2027, aligning with an updated mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment anticipated by the end of March 2026.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:BRC) stock is a Buy with a C$1.90 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Blackrock Silver stock, see the TSE:BRC Stock Forecast page.
