Silver Acadia Exploration Inc Reports High-Grade Silver and Gold Results from Nicholas-Denys Property
Silver Acadia Exploration Inc. announced the first assay results from its recently completed Phase 1 diamond drilling program primarily targeting its flagship Nicholas-Denys Project located within the Bathurst Mining Camp in northern New Brunswick. The results are from the Hachey Zone, which is one of several high-grade silver and gold zones on the Nicholas-Denys property. The mineralized corridor is up to 3 km long. These initial results, including 396.8 g/t silver, 2.38 g/t gold, 2.7% zinc and 2.2% lead over 7.1 metres near surface in hole ND26-002, highlight the strong potential of the system. The existing 2008 historical NI 43-101 resource estimate was primarily focused on zinc, whereas the current strategy is centered on evaluating and highlighting the significant high-grade silver and gold potential of the broader system. The objective is to demonstrate that Nicholas-Denys hosts a multi-kilometre trend containing multiple high-grade silver, gold and base metal zones with the potential to support a significant mineral deposit. These first assay results from Phase 1 drilling have delivered very strong values, and additional results are expected over the coming weeks. Highlights - First Assay Results Received: Hole ND26-002 - Hachey Zone: 46.7 m grading 71.2 g/t Ag, 0.46 g/t Au, 1.03% Zn and 0.41% Pb including 16.5 m grading 177.7 g/t AgEq including 7.1 m grading 396.8 g/t Ag, 2.38 g/t Au, 2.70% Zn and 2.17% Pb including 2.8 m grading 612.5 g/t Ag, 4.40 g/t Au, 4.10% Zn and 3.06% Pb including 0.4 m grading 1,660 g/t Ag, 10.65 g/t Au. Hole ND26-001 - Hachey Zone: 35.8 m grading 66.4 g/t Ag, 0.34 g/t Au, 1.01% Zn and 0.47% Pb including 8.5 m grading 254.3 g/t Ag including 6.0 m grading 346.4 g/t Ag including 0.6 m grading 1,050 g/t Ag, 3.09 g/t Au. Hole ND26-003A - Hachey Zone: 5.7 m grading 123.6 g/t Ag including 0.9 m grading 513 g/t Ag. Full details regarding the Phase 1 drill program were previously disclosed in the Company's April 1, 2026 press release. The drilling campaign at the Ann's Creek target, located on the Nicholas-Denys Property, commenced in January 2026 and focused on the Hachey Zone, a silver-gold-zinc-lead mineralized system interpreted as an epithermal-style vein environment. The 2026 Phase 1 program is comprised of 18 drill holes totaling 2,404 metres on the Hachey zone. Fourteen of these 18 holes reached target depth, while four holes were terminated early due to challenging ground conditions associated with the highly fractured fault zone hosting mineralization. Drilling successfully confirmed the continuity of the mineralized system and intersected multiple zones of silver-gold-base metal mineralization. Drilling intersected a sequence of strongly foliated sedimentary rocks consisting of alternating wacke and mudrock units, hosting early quartz veins, massive sulphide veins, and rare porphyritic felsic intrusive dykes. All units show evidence of intense deformation, including folding, boudinage, transposition, and local dismemberment. Sulphide mineralization, consisting mainly of pyrrhotite (Po), pyrite (Py), sphalerite (Sp) and galena (Gn), with minor arsenopyrite (As), is generally associated with silica-sericite-epidote ± chlorite (Cl) alteration zones and appears to follow the same structural corridors as the early quartz veining. Mineralization occurs as: (1) massive sulphide lenses concordant with S0/S1 foliation; (2) massive sulphide veins discordant to S0/S1 foliation; (3) partial to pervasive replacement of early quartz veins and altered host rocks; (4) stockworks, stringers and massive sulphide veinlets; and (5) sulphide aggregates within fault breccias and as disseminations.
