Silver Bullet Announces Investment and Continuation of Mining in Arizona 

Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 7, 2023) - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) ('SBMI' or 'the Company') announces the continuation of mining operations at the Buckeye Mine in Arizona and a cash infusion.

The aberrant extremely hot weather continued in Arizona throughout most of August, preventing work from then being carried out at the mill or at the Buckeye Mine. The temperature on the concrete mill pad during this period on occasion exceeded 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Running the mill in such hot weather would have been a danger to the proper functioning of the equipment. Mining, whether during the day or at night, would have been an unacceptable safety risk to the field team.

The hot weather has finally abated and the Company is pleased to announce the continuation of mining operations at the Buckeye Mine. Processing material at the mill should continue within roughly one month.

SBMI has been advised by the United States Forest Service that in August, 2023 lightning caused a fire near the Buckeye Mine. The USFS graded the road leading to the Buckeye Mine to allow it to bring in equipment needed to fight the fire.

The annual taxes on the BLM lands comprising part of the Black Diamond property, which surrounds the Buckeye Mine, have been paid.

SBMI is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement with an arm's length third party (the "Investor") for the amount of USD$350,000. This investment is structured as a loan having a five year term and a zero per cent interest rate. The first tranche of this investment is USD$225,000 which has been received by SBMI, and the second tranche of USD$125,000 is contemplated to be forwarded to SBMI five days after the first shipment of silver dore has been received by the Investor. The loan is secured by two pieces of equipment onsite in Arizona.

This relationship with the Investor should allow SBMI to better execute its business model, substantially increase its revenue and expand its operations.

The Investor carried out an extensive due diligence review on SBMI, including a site visit to the Buckeye Mine and the mill, and including metallurgy on sample dore bars from the Buckeye. As a result of such extensive review, the Investor has asked SBMI to work with it to advance other projects in which the Investor is involved. The first two such projects under consideration are in Arizona and Colorado. It is intended that SBMI will provide mining, metallurgical and processing services to the Investor using SBMI's state-of-the-art milling infrastructure and facilities. The SBMI mill should be capable of handling any of the Investor's products under consideration, and being modular, can be expanded to increase its capacity as required.

The Investor is also a potential purchaser of dore bars to be produced at the mill. As the relationship evolves, it is likely the Investor will become SBMI's largest customer.

On July 7, 2023 SBMI announced the extension of the silver purchase agreement with the Purchaser described in its April 27, 2023 and May 4, 2023 press releases. Effective June 30, 2023, the Purchaser and SBMI verbally agreed to extend the term of such agreement to August 31, 2023, and worked towards reducing such verbal agreement to writing. The Purchaser and SBMI continue in good faith to try to reduce the June 30, 2023 verbal agreement to writing including a new extension date.

The test-run shipment of silver, as described in the Company's June 14, 2023 press release, from SBMI to the Purchaser was received and tested by the Purchaser. The 102 ounces comprising the test-run contained dore bars consisting of varying amounts of silver, copper, and other materials. The Purchaser has tested the dore bars to determine what composition is best suited for its purposes.

As for further detail in the mining activities, the Company reached the Treasure Room in March, 2022. Higher grade material was found in the wall rock, and the Company's intention at the time was to commence mining on the other side of the Treasure Room where the vein is clearly visible. Unfortunately, unsafe working conditions due to ceiling instability meant the Company could not cross the Treasure Room and instead had to mine around the Treasure Room into the diabase. This added roughly 150 feet of drifting through harder host rock. During this time, encouraging values were obtained from samples but were not of sufficient volume to run the mill efficiently.

Until paused by the unusual heat wave, such mining activity had advanced approximately 600 feet from the portal entrance to the Treasure Room, then around the Treasure Room, and then along the vein. The team now continues to drift along the vein towards a targetted area. The Company estimates that it is relatively close to drifting into historical drill holes which can be traced from the casings on surface. The Company's information related to those historical drill holes and the historical assaying of them do not meet NI43-101 standards and cannot be disclosed.

In furtherance of its understanding of the vein and the host rock, a Lidar survey of the Buckeye Mine was recently carried out.

At some time in the future, the Company will return to the Treasure Room (once fully safetied) and will develop the lower levels where the Company believes there to be more higher grade material. The cost and timing of such activities have not been determined at this time.

Silver Bullet Announces Temporary Suspension of Activities 

July 24, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces  that it has temporarily suspended operations at its Buckeye Silver Mine and its processing mill in Arizona.

The temporary suspension of activities results from excessive heat warnings by the National Weather Service, with temperatures being experienced in the range of 41 to 46 Celsius.  Additionally, the area of the Buckeye Silver Mine has experienced wildfires resulting in restricted access to the property.

Maintenance activities continue at both the mine site and the mill until the resumption of activities.

The Company is working with its customers to extend delivery dates as a result of the suspension of operations.  

While the Company anticipates being able to resume operations in the near future, the timing is subject to climate variables beyond its control.

Arizona Operational Update 

June 15, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) provides an operational update on its Arizona activities.

The mill in Globe, Arizona has been operating on a single shift of ten hours per day at its rated capacity with no major issues. It is running at optimal efficiency processing mineralized material from the lower grade stockpiles of vein material. Higher grade material from the mine should be introduced when it arrives at the mill. Videos of the mill can be seen at SBMI’s website www.silverbulletmines.com.

SBMI intends to increase the operating hours by adding another shift, which should happen as the mill crew becomes more familiar with the running of the mill and is able to onboard a second shift.

The mill has processed approximately 350 tons of vein material over the last seven days. The 350 tons of feed produced 418 pounds of both magnetic and non-magnetic concentrates from the concentrating table. As can be seen in the photograph below, there was a line of goldish coloured material on the right end of the shaker table when recent material was processed. Management believes this material to be gold, given its location on the table, gold’s specific gravity being higher than silver’s and copper’s, the history of the mineralized material from the Buckeye Mine, and management’s experience with processing. This material was not assayed for gold and readers are cautioned this material might not contain gold or such material may not be representative of other material from the Buckeye Mine.

From the 418 pounds of concentrate roughly 226 pounds of iron alloy were removed using a magnetic separation circuit, to remove the material which may host some silver, gold, and platinum group elements. This removed material will be retained for future processing to recover the precious metals.

The 192 pounds of non-magnetic material was moved to the Company’s refinery where dore bars are poured. These dore bars contain silver and minor amounts of gold, copper, nickel and other metals. Based upon the report from SBMI’s customer, none of the material is deleterious in nature so it should not negatively impact the value of the bar. Slag material removed in the upgrading process is retained for further processing and possible future sale.

The poured dore bars have been prepared for transportation.

Transportation of dore bars is handled by a specialized carrier permitted to transport precious metals to Europe requiring importation documentation. Working closely with the purchaser SBMI intends to make a smaller test run of product (proof of concept) to ensure the shipping process functions as expected. That proof of concept shipment should take place soon. The total number of paid ounces for silver and gold will be determined by assay after the bars’ arrival at the refinery.

At the Buckeye Silver Mine the mine team is carrying out screening and rock bolting as the team drifts along the vein. As noted in previous press releases, the goal of drifting along the vein is to intercept the historical higher mineralized zone behind the Treasure Room, which interception management believes should happen in the near future.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Provides Update on its Wholly Owned Washington Mine Idaho Property 

May 23, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’)  is pleased to provide an update on its wholly owned Washington Mine located in Idaho, approximately 1.5 hours drive from Idaho City. The Washington Mine was a historical gold producer, and its historical silver discoveries were not able to be processed at the time.

The Company has recently been able to physically access the property following a severe winter during which the area received more than 150% of its normal snowfall.  Company personnel were able to visit the site to assess the condition of the mine and roads leading to the mine. It was determined that road repairs were required to some washed out areas but otherwise the site is in good shape. Permits for road repairs have been received and work is ongoing including the installation of a new culvert and is anticipated to be completed within thirty days.

The Company is currently finalizing a budget for property and site work for this year, including the set up of the mining camp, the hook up of the water supply, moving equipment to the site, and building necessary structures to house the equipment.

The Company has engaged an experienced underground mine contractor to carry out mining activities at the site. Commencement of mining activities, which is subject to the availability of sufficient financing, is anticipated to commence within 120 days.

It is estimated that potential mineralized material is located approximately 100 feet from the portal entrance. The Company plans to mine to that area and then extract an initial 2000 ton bulk sample. Historical values from multiple bulk samples averaged 44 ounces per ton silver and .05 ounces per ton gold. (see press releases of January 18, 2022, and of February 14, 2022) The Company is negotiating with a local mill to process the material.

The Company has received the final report from the Centre for Advanced Materials Processing (“CAMP”) of Montana Technical University for the metallurgical testwork carried out on behalf of SBMI on samples from the Washington Mine. The data will be used as a basis for the Company’s mineral processing flowsheet. The work performed by CAMP using gravity and flotation combined produced initial recoveries of 86.35% for silver and 69.1% gold prior to optimization. Finally, CAMP advised the results of the tests it ran returned the head grade of the material at 62.8 silver ounces per ton and .062 gold ounces per ton. The Company is planning to run optimization tests to improve the results as recommended by CAMP.

Management is looking forward to starting re-development of the Washington Mine, and believes the mine has a great deal of potential not only as a significant silver producer but, based on last year’s field program, also as a potential extension of the historical high-grade gold zone. (see press release August 23, 2022).

SBMI has received the sum of USD$225,000 from the Purchaser as a cash advance against the order for 500 kg of silver, to be delivered to the Purchaser in tranches or all at once. At today’s pricing this first order represents more than USD$430,000 (more than CDN$570,000).

The Purchaser has indicated it intends to purchase 500 kg from SBMI each month for six months, including this order.

The first order is currently being processed from the stockpile at the mill and SBMI anticipates shipping it in whole or in part within 30 days. The Company continues to work with the Purchaser and other potential purchasers to develop a customer base for its silver/gold production.

At the Buckeye Mine, mining is ongoing. As per SBMI’s January 16, 2023 press release, SBMI continues to drift along the vein to an area believed to contain higher grade mineralization (see page 8 of the Geologic Report dated January 8, 2021). The Company expects to encounter that area in the near future, although given the uncertainties inherent in mining no exact date can be given.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (SBMI) Provides Update on First Order for Silver from Buckeye Mine in Arizona 

Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 27, 2023) - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) ('SBMI' or 'the Company') is pleased to provide an update on its first order for its silver products from a third-party (the "Purchaser").

The first order, announced in detail on April 17, 2023, and the attendant USD$225,000 cash advance from the Purchaser empowers SBMI to fund the cost of processing the mineralized material from the Buckeye Mine without dilution to the shareholders. The Purchaser advises it carried out a detailed analysis of the silver dore bar sent earlier and advises it believes there are no material impurities in that bar. If the bar is representative of the silver to be delivered, SBMI would incur a minimal discount to spot prices and there would be no reduction in the amount payable to SBMI due to deleterious metals.

The current order is for 500 kg (17,600 ounces), and the Purchaser has indicated it intends to order that same amount per month for the foreseeable future. Each such monthly order would represent roughly USD$400,000 in revenue to SBMI at current spot price for silver.

The Debenture referred to in the April 17, 2023 press release would bear interest at the rate of 2% per month on the outstanding principal for one month, which interest begins to accrue after 30 days. If the conversion feature of the Debenture is triggered, the conversion price would be $0.22 per share.

There are approximately 2500 tons of mineralized material on surface at the Buckeye Mine site to be shipped to the mill on an as needed basis. Mining is ongoing. As per SBMI's January 16, 2023 press release, SBMI is drifting along the vein to an area believed to contain higher grade mineralization (see page 8 of the Geologic Report dated January 8, 2021). At the current rate of mining that zone should be intercepted in approximately 4 weeks, although that timing may vary subject to the usual risks attendant on mining.

SBMI anticipates starting to process the current order this week by processing the material on hand at the mill/mine site, which has earlier returned high grades (see March 3, 2023 press release). Management believes the mill is operating at optimum efficiency.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Announces Cash Advance on First Order 

April 17, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces it has entered into a cash advance from a purchaser of SBMI’s silver products (the “Purchaser”).

SBMI has previously announced an order for 50 kilograms of silver from the Purchaser, which order has since been increased to 500 kilograms (17,600 oz) of silver. The Purchaser has indicated a willingness to purchase 17,600 oz of silver from SBMI every month for the foreseeable future. Management reasonably believes SBMI has the capability to fill such monthly orders.

The Purchaser and SBMI have since entered into an agreement whereby the Purchaser would advance USD$225,000 against the first delivery of silver to it by SBMI. This advance would be secured by a conditional convertible debenture (the “Debenture”). The Debenture only becomes convertible in the event SBMI does not deliver USD$225,000 of silver to the Purchaser within 60 days of SBMI receiving the USD$225,000 advance. This amounts to a little more than 9,000 oz of silver, depending upon the spot price at the time of delivery.

The principal amount of the Debenture would decrease as SBMI delivers silver to the Purchaser, and would expire upon the delivery of USD$225,000 worth of silver to the Purchaser. Once SBMI has delivered USD$225,000 worth of silver to the Purchaser, the Debenture would expire. The Debenture would accrue interest at the rate of 3% per month on the outstanding principal for one month, which interest begins to accrue after 30 days. After 60 days either the interest converts with the Debenture, or if SBMI has delivered USD$225,000 worth of silver to the Purchaser the obligation to pay interest would expire.

The funds would be advanced by the Purchaser immediately after SBMI receives regulatory approval for the Debenture, and would be used for working capital purposes.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (SBMI) Confirms Anomalous Platinum Group Elements (PGE)

in Some Samples on its Richmond Basin, Arizona Property

March 30, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce it has received the assay results from a third party independent (ISO 17025-2017) accredited lab, American Assay Laboratories. These are the ‘check assays’ for material tested and reported in September and October, 2022.  These results confirm the presence of anomalous platinum group elements (PGE) values in some of the material.

 

QA/QC

 

A total of six samples, 6 duplicates, 4 standards and one blank sample were assayed. The samples were collected by the mine crew from various material at the Buckeye Mine and were crushed and ground to a powder at the Company’s assay lab with the powder retained in marked sample bags. A portion of each of these bags was retained and a portion was inserted in another labelled bag and then delivered by a courier in Globe, Arizona to American Assay Laboratories in Nevada. The blank and standards were included as well. American Assay Laboratories used a similar assay finish procedure as the first lab, Lone Pine, namely ICP-MS. Lone Pine used a 4 acid dissolution of a 200 milligram sample and American Assay Laboratories used a sodium peroxide fusion of a 5 gram sample.

 

To further confirm the presence of platinum a repeat Fire Assay was undertaken. For this method the sample was fused in a ceramic crucible with litharge, sodium carbonate, borax and flour at 1080°C. From this a 25-50 gram lead button was cupelled in a magnesite cupel at 900° for 60 minutes. The silver bead was then parted with concentrated nitric acid followed by hydrochloric acid to generate chlorine and nitrosoyl chloride that dissolved the PGM sponge. Digested samples were read on an ICP-AES.

 

The PGE results obtained from American Assay Laboratories were in line with a 1995 historic report and that of Lone Pine.

 

American Assay Laboratories assayed for silver, gold, iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhodium and ruthenium (see chart below). The green highlighted samples relate to standards and the yellow to blanks.

Based on these results the Company plans to continue its evaluation of the economic potential of PGE on the Buckeye Mine. Samples within the Buckeye Mine upper adit hydrothermal vein system are in the process of being sent to Dr. A. Macdonald at Laurentian University for further analysis, and a selective sampling program is to be initiated. Further testing will be done using ICP-MS as well as NAA (nuclear activation analysis) when warranted.


Mr. Robert G. Komarechka, P.Geo., an independent consultant, has reviewed and verified SBMI’s work referred to herein, and is the Qualified Person for this release.

The Company also announces that due to time commitments on other projects, J. Birks Bovaird has resigned from the board of directors. The Company thanks him for his tireless commitment to the shareholders.

The Company also announces the appointment to the board of John S. MacKenzie, CPA CA. Mr. MacKenzie will also serve as the board’s chair.

Mr. MacKenzie is currently CFO and a founding shareholder of Critical Minerals Americas Inc., a private exploration stage mining company in Alberta. He is also CFO and a founding shareholder of Evergreen Environmental Inc., engaged in the anaerobic digestion of organic waste and production and sales of RNG.

In the past Mr. MacKenzie was for 13 years the CEO of international heavy jet cargo airline AllCanada Express (ACE) and has since occupied both C-Suite and consulting positions with various mining, aviation, and technology companies. He has extensive financing, lease, purchase and sales experience over dozens of transactions and hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment.      

  

Mr. MacKenzie also has ten years of public accounting experience with Clarkson Gordon / Ernst & Young.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Processes Gold and Silver From Upper Adit at Buckeye Mine Arizona

Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 16, 2023) - Further to its press release of March 3, 2023, Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) ('SBMI' or 'the Company') is pleased to provide an update on the latest processing campaign at its 125 TPD pilot plant.

Over a recent four-day period from March 8 to March 13, 2023, SBMI processed mineralized vein material at its 100% owned mill in Globe, Arizona, from which it recovered concentrate which will be converted to dore bars, confirming the recent mill modification was successful. The mineralized material was taken from the vein structure in the upper adit behind the Treasure Room.

SBMI Mar 16, 2023 -1.jpg

Dore bar poured March 15, 2023.

SBMI is producing an initial batch of dore bars to be sent to a third-party lab for analysis and to potential purchasers for their analysis. One dore bar has previously been sent to a potential purchaser for its analysis.

Calibrated XRF analysis have confirmed recovered gold in these dore bars, including one bar that analyzed 0.382 % gold. The XRF analysis shows the dore consists primarily of silver and copper, with gold, zinc, nickel, lead and iron. No deleterious material was found in the dore bar. This confirms the previous findings of Dr. Andrew Macdonald from the Harquail School of Earth Sciences at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario on the silver contained within a sample collected from the floor of the Treasure Room area.

The crushing circuit of the mill is running at optimal efficiency. The grinding and gravity circuits were run at approximately 50% capacity while being optimized. The number of tons of mineralized material to be processed per hour will be increased as optimization continues and as a result of grade control assay results processed at SBMI's lab at the millsite.

To feed the mill, the Company has accumulated a significant stockpile of mineralized material at the Buckeye Mine for transportation to the mill site. Mining is ongoing in 150 ton (136 tonne) rounds, with four rounds per week, advancing at 12 feet (3.7 metres) per round.

Next steps include increasing the tonnage being shipped from the Buckeye Mine to the mill, continuing mining of the historical higher grade zone, filling the outstanding order, sourcing other purchasers, and continuing to improve operational performance at the Buckeye Mine and at the mill.

SBMI previously announced that it had received an order for 50 kg (1,760 ounces) of silver. The entity that placed that order has advised SBMI that it intends to increase that order to a minimum of 500 kg (17,600 ounces) per month. Management reasonably believes it will be able to satisfy that increased order for the foreseeable future. To decrease risk, the Company is currently in discussions with several additional potential purchasers.

Higher grade samples and dore bars, and what the field team believes to be bornite, will be sent to Harquail School of Earth Sciences for further detailed analysis. See the photo below.

The potential bornite at the Buckeye Mine is believed to be found as a hydrothermal mineral in fractures in cooler areas of the fluid migration. Association with native silver and other precious minerals have been known to occur in such mineralized situations. Further analysis of the potential bornite mineralization is ongoing.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Encounters Further Silver Mineralization and Returns to Processing Material at its Mill

March 3, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce it is again processing mineralized material its 125 TPD pilot plant. The mill is currently being fine tuned with low grade material to set the recovery parameters. Having resolved the issues with pouring silver dore bars, and having made the necessary related modification to the mill circuit, the Company intends to soon process higher grade material. To date the mill has been operating to specifications with non-detectable values for silver in the tailings produced from the shaker table.

SBMI Mar 3, 2023 -1.jpg

Line of silver from shaker table, March 2, 2023

The Company has one outstanding order for 50 kilograms of silver including credits for any contained copper or gold. The purchaser of those 50 kilograms has indicated a willingness to acquire up to 500 kilograms of silver on one week’s written notice. The Company is also in discussions with other potential purchasers.

Like any responsible producer, SBMI operates its own assay lab. SBMI continues to implement a strategic sampling program using that lab to enable it to maintain silver grade control to the mill.

Below is a list of recent highlight assays and photos from the vein in the upper adit at the Buckeye Mine, from an area to which the Company recently drifted behind the Treasure Room (not all assay results are reported). Note that all of the samples listed and photographed below are from the upper adit 420ft - 444ft from the entrance of the upper adit.

QAQC

All the samples above were collected by SBMI’s field team. Samples were collected and placed in sample bags with their appropriate tag and processed at the Company’s own assay lab. Like any responsible producer, the Company owns its own assay lab and regularly takes samples as part of its production process.

The samples analyzed by SBMI at its facility near Globe, Arizona were processed through the Lab Jaw Crusher, Lab Hammer Mill and Splitter Box into an aliquot. Most of the pulverized aliquot was mixed with a flux and flour combination and melted in a crucible at 1,850 degree Fahrenheit, with the remainder being logged and archived. Upon cooling, the poured melt was in the form of a metal button and slag, following which a bone ash cupel was utilized to eliminate the lead in the button to form a bead.  The bead was then weighed, following which a solution of 6 to 1 distilled water to nitric acid was utilized to dissolve the silver in the bead at approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit. A much more detailed description of the process and a picture of the assay lab can be found at https://www.silverbulletmines.com/qaqcassaylab.

Readers should be aware that the SBMI facilities have been designed for quick production grade control and are not ISO compliant; however, duplicate sampling with other ISO labs has been done on past samples with good correlation.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Assays 270.6 Ounces Per Ton Silver In Upper Vein At Buckeye Mine In Arizona

February 15, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces strong initial assay results from the interception of the upper main vein at the Buckeye Mine near Globe, Arizona.

The vein was intercepted approximately 380 feet from the entrance to the adit. Immediately on contact with the vein the first significant assays from the vein were 43, 178.6, and 270.6 ounces silver per ton. The samples yielding these results did not include material from the footwall. The samples were selected at random from the mineralized material removed from the vein and then were sent to SBMI’s assay lab for processing.

SBMI1 February 15, 2023.jpg

Recent Sample from Buckeye Mine

The Company is now mining along the exposed vein with assay results pending from the face. SBMI has extended the workings to 420 feet from the entrance to the adit, the vein is ten feet wide and eleven feet high, and the footwall is estimated by the field team to be four feet wide.

SBMI has stockpiled in excess of 450 tons of vein material at surface at the Buckeye Mine site, for shipment to the mill. The Company is mining 150 to 200 tons of mineralized material per day, although this rate will vary. The Company believes it has achieved the targeted grade necessary to support processing this material at the Company’s mill and to then pour dore bars or create concentrate. Both the dore bars and the concentrate will saleable product, and the Company does not expect to encounter any significant difficulties in finding buyers for those products.

SBMI is also pleased to announce it has begun to resolve the issues with pouring dore bars from this material. The picture below shows a malformed dore bar from September, 2022.

SBMI2 Feb 15, 2023.jpg

Malformed dore bar from Sept, 2022

The Company thanks Dr. Andrew Macdonald, a mineralogist with Harquail School of Earth Sciences at Laurentian University, for his assistance. Initial results from his work indicate the presence of a highly magnetic iron alloy in the mineralized material. The iron alloy smelts at temperatures of over 3000 degrees F, which is above the silver smelting temperature of roughly 1800 degrees F, and therefore it interferes with the silver smelting process. SBMI has confirmed this thesis by using a high intensity magnet to pull the iron alloy from the concentrate prior to smelting. The dore bar below, poured in February, 2023, resulted from concentrate after the iron alloy was removed.

Dore bar poured after the iron alloy was removed; Feb 2023

As a result the Company intends to permanently install a high intensity magnetic separator in the milling operation to improve the likelihood the Company can smelt silver dore bars. The Company intends to store the magnetic concentrates for future research. Continued research will be needed.

The Company is still awaiting the check assay results from American Assay Labs and Actlabs.

 

SBMI’s near term goal is to process the higher grade material at the Company’s mill to produce saleable product.

QAQC

All the samples above were collected by SBMI’s field team. Samples were collected and placed in sample bags with their appropriate tag and processed at the Company’s own assay lab. Like any responsible producer, the Company owns its own assay lab and regularly takes samples as part of its production process.

The samples analyzed by SBMI at its facility near Globe, Arizona were processed through the Lab Jaw Crusher, Lab Hammer Mill and Splitter Box into an aliquot. Most of the pulverized aliquot was mixed with a flux and flour combination and melted in a crucible at 1,850 degree Fahrenheit, with the remainder being logged and archived. Upon cooling, the poured melt was in the form of a metal button and slag, following which a bone ash cupel was utilized to eliminate the lead in the button to form a bead.  The bead was then weighed, following which a solution of 6 to 1 distilled water to nitric acid was utilized to dissolve the silver in the bead at approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit. A much more detailed description of the process and a picture of the assay lab can be found at https://www.silverbulletmines.com/qaqcassaylab.

Readers should be aware that the SBMI facilities have been designed for quick production grade control and are not ISO compliant; however, duplicate sampling with other ISO labs has been done on past samples with good correlation.

Mr. Robert G. Komarechka, P.Geo., an independent consultant, has reviewed and verified SBMI’s work referred to herein, and is the Qualified Person for this release.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Discovers New Sulphide Vein Structures at the Buckeye Mine and a New Gold Occurrence

January 31, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to report results from its Buckeye Mine development, ongoing PGM (platinum group metals) study, assay results from its Black Copper occurrence and the discovery of a new gold occurrence on its Black Diamond Property.

Picture1 SBMI Jan 31, 2023.jpg

Development drift intersecting a wall of sulphides at the Buckeye Mine, Jan. 28, 2023

As of this date the development drift at the Buckeye Mine has advanced about 116 metres from the adit alongside the main vein with ongoing bolting and screening.

In its January 17, 2023 press release the Company advised it “…next intends to drift along the vein to an area believed to contain higher grade mineralization (see page 8 of the Geologic Report dated January 8, 2021).” However, the Company believes it may have intercepted that area of higher grade mineralization sooner than expected.

Approximately 1 metre before turning into the anticipated intersection with the main vertical vein, a 0.6 metre thick horizontal fracture zone was encountered that contained bands of massive sulphides. Horizontal sulphide bands were also noted by the QP for this press release in the Treasure Room along with paper thin layers of high purity native silver, similar to the bands in the newly discovered fracture zone. While the Company expected to locate the area of higher grade mineralization, the placement of this 0.6 metre wide area of sulphide mineralization was a positive surprise to the Company.

A blast in the drift on January 27, 2023 exposed another wall of sulphides at the end of the drift. These sulphides were also encountered sooner than the Company expected. Samples of the sulphide material are being prepared to be sent for assaying and further petrographic examination.

Regarding the earlier reported PGM assays and as previously reported, check assay samples have been sent to three independent certified labs. SBMI is awaiting complete reporting of the assays from the three labs. In addition to these check assays, the Company has contracted Dr. Andy McDonald, Mineralogist, of the Harquail School of Earth Sciences, at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, to undertake sample preparation, petrographic and scanning electron microscope examination of two samples derived from the Buckeye Mine.

The first sample being analyzed by Dr. McDonald was taken by the QP in November, 2022. It was diabase from the floor of the Treasure Room of the Buckeye Mine containing a silvery ductile mineral, subsequently confirmed by Dr. McDonald to be high purity native silver. When this sample was examined with an uncalibrated handheld X-ray fluorescent unit, the presence of palladium at 29 and 21 parts per million was noted. The second sample provided to Dr. McDonald was a malformed dore bar poured by SBMI in September, 2022 derived from the Buckeye Mine, containing highly refractory “unknown material.”

Also in SBMI’s January 17, 2023 press release, SBMI advised third part geologic consultants including the QP had visited the Black Copper occurrence in late November and early December, 2022. Black Copper is situated on SBMI’s Black Diamond property roughly one point five kilometres south of the Buckeye Mine and is referred to in the January, 2021 Geologic Report. Samples from Black Copper were taken and reported the following results:

Sample number         Au (ppb)             Cu ppm

342151                           615                    >1000

342152                           192                    >1000

342153                           941                    >1000

342154                           654                    >1000

 

The over-detection limit for copper on these samples was 1000 parts per million. These four samples were sent for further analysis which returned:

 

Sample number          Cu ppm                    Cu %

 

342151                           22,400                    2.24

342152                           37,400                    3.740

342153                           34,000                    3.400

342154                           54,900                    5.490

 

In addition during this geological study, an area of broken rusty quartz float was observed by the QP near the trail to the Richmond Basin to the west of the McMorris and Buckeye Mines. This is the Company’s first testing of this area. These quartz fragments appeared to be segments of narrow quartz veins containing sulphides. Due to a soil cover of a few inches to a foot in this area, limited time prevented exposure of the underlying bedrock. Four samples were collected from surface and yielded the following gold assays:

 

Sample number          Au (ppb)               Bi (ppm)

342109                             17                           2

342110                           4450                       412

342111                              64                       1600

342112                               7                          16

 

A bismuth assay of 1600 ppm and a silver assay over 100 ppm was recorded in sample 342111. The QP of this press release highly recommends further evaluation of this new gold occurrence.

Sample 342110 assayed 4.45 g/t Au. from the new gold occurrence.

QAQC For SBMI

All the samples above were collected by Robert Komarechka and John Corkery. Samples were collected and placed in sample bags with their appropriate tag and personally taken to the courier and shipped to Actlabs in Thunder Bay, Ontario for assaying. Certified standards and blanks were used both by the Company and Actlabs.

All samples analyzed by Actlabs were by Fire Assay ICPOES (Induced coupled plasma arc with optical emission spectroscopy).

The multi-element analysis was by digestion with a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids.

Mr. Robert G. Komarechka, P.Geo., an independent consultant, has reviewed and verified SBMI’s work referred to herein, and is the Qualified Person for this release.

With respect to the Company’s press release concerning seeking an extension of the Warrants (as that term is defined in that release), SBMI advises it is seeking an extension on a total of 8,528,081 Warrants with new expiry dates ranging from February 6, 2024 to July 8, 2024.

Silver Bullet Mines Intercepts Vein in Arizona

January 17, 2023 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce it has intercepted the targetted vein, behind the historical Treasure Room at its Buckeye Silver Mine. This interception occurred on schedule and within SBMI’s budget. To intercept the vein SBMI rehabilitated, extended, screened and bolted the upper development drift. The material being removed is being deposited in specific locations for future evaluation.

SBMI next intends to drift along the vein to an area believed to contain higher grade mineralization (see page 8 of the Geologic Report dated January 8, 2021). The Company believes this target area to be approximately 200 feet from where SBMI recently intercepted the vein.

SBMI intends to carry out multiple daily assays of the materials referred to above at its assay facility at its millsite. The mill is ready to recommence processing immediately upon receipt of mineralized material from the Buckeye. The assay results are intended to inform the geologic team and not all such results will be disseminated.

In its December 15, 2022 press release, SBMI advised third party geologic consultants would be providing the Company with a report including observations, comments, and recommendations, based upon their November 29 - December 14, 2022 site visit to Arizona. They inspected the third-party independent lab used for sample testing, visited the Buckeye Mine site, visited the Company’s millsite, and visited the Black Copper and Helena occurrences, both of which are situated on SBMI’s Black Diamond property and are referred to in the January, 2021 Geologic Report.

Those geologic consultants also carried out a brief initial re-inspection of NQ core drilled at the Buckeye Mine by a previous optionee. This re-inspection has revealed coarse grained gabbronorite phases containing magnetite disseminations and thin bands within an area previously mapped as diabase. Small intervals containing olivine phenocrysts were also noted. These rocks may have potential for PGM mineralization. Further examination is being undertaken on these in situ rocks, the core, the Black Copper and the Helena occurrences. Samples from each has been sent to a third-party accredited lab for analysis and further work is ongoing. The Company can find no evidence of any PGM testing having previously been undertaken on this core or the rock labelled as diabase.

Finally, contact with various mineralogical and geochemical labs is ongoing to resolve metallurgical and refractory issues encountered while trying to pour dore bars from the Buckeye Mine material.

Mr. Robert G. Komarechka, P.Geo., an independent consultant, has reviewed and verified SBMI’s work referred to herein, and is the Qualified Person for this release.

Silver Bullet Mines to Resume Development of Buckeye Silver Mine and Update on PGM

December 15, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce the imminent resumption of development of its Buckeye Silver Mine near Globe, Arizona.

SBMI plans to extract a bulk sample of mineralized material from the area of the Buckeye Silver Mine known as the Treasure Room, described in a press release of March 1, 2022, located in the upper adit of the Buckeye Silver Mine. Prior to accessing the Treasure Room, screening and rock bolting of the adit is required pursuant to MSHA regulations, which the Company estimates should take approximately one week to complete.

Upon completion of the safety measures, SBMI intends to commence work to extract mineralized material, and the Company estimates that it should take two to three weeks to intercept the veins described in the press release of March 1, 2022. Mineralized material from the floor of the Treasure Room has previously been assayed and results previously reported (March 1, 2022). The Company has previously been able to process mineralized material from this source into dore bars. Further mineralized material from this same source, once extracted, will be processed by the Company’s mill.

SBMI also advises that on a recent site visit to the Buckeye Silver Mine and the Black Diamond Property, the Company’s consulting geologists Robert Komarechka and John Corkery examined and re-logged a portion of core drilled by a prior optionee at the Buckeye Silver Mine in 2017 (press release of December 8, 2022), and extracted samples from the core, from the upper adit of the Buckeye Silver Mine, and from other parts of the Black Diamond Property. Blanks and standards were added, and all samples have been sent to a division of Actlabs for analysis for PGMs.

Messrs. Komarechka and Corkery will be providing the Company with a Report including observations, comments, and recommendations and subject to results of assays, plan a site visit to the Buckeye Silver Mine and the Black Diamond Property early in 2023.

Cautionary and Forward-Looking Statements

Readers should be cautioned that the Company’s decision to move forward with the construction of and production at the Washington Mine and the Buckeye Mine is not based on the results of any pre-feasibility study or feasibility study of mineral resources demonstrating economic or technical viability. The Company has undertaken exploration and development activities; and after taking into consideration various factors, including but not limited to: historical data, the exploration and development results to date, technical information developed internally, the availability of financing, and the starting costs as estimated internally by the Company’s management, the Company is of the view that the establishment of mineral reserves by way of a prefeasibility or feasibility study at this stage is not necessary and would be unduly costly, and that the most responsible utilization of the Company’s resources is to proceed with the development of the mines. Readers are cautioned that due to the lack of prefeasibility study or feasibility study, there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with the Company’s decision. In particular, there is additional risk that mineral grades may be lower than expected, and the risk that construction or continuing mining operations may be more difficult or more expensive than management expected. Production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. Failure at the Washington or Buckeye Mine may materially adversely impact the Company’s overall ability to continue as a going concern.

Silver Bullet Mines Provides Update on Idaho and Arizona Mines

 

December 8, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide an update on operations at its Washington Mine in Idaho and at its Buckeye Mine in Arizona.

In Arizona at the Buckeye, core drilled by a prior optionee at the Buckeye Mine in 2017 has been located and a chain of custody established. The core is being re-logged. There is no record of any of it having been tested for platinum group elements. It is intended that some of such core will be split and sent to an accredited third-party lab for testing, and the remainder will be stored after it is logged.

SBMI Dec 8, 2022 1.jpg
SBMI Dec 8, 2022 2.jpg

Historical third party core from 2017

Historical core being split in December, 2022

In Idaho, the entrance to the historical past-producing gold and silver mine has been screened and rock bolted. In management’s opinion the entrance to the historical mine is secure. Efforts continue to ensure the access area past the entrance is safe to enable the field team and contract miner to advance towards what is believed to be the mineralized zone. A mining engineer has created a mine plan and a ventilation plan which will be implemented once the area is secure. The Company believes it has the necessary equipment to proceed, including a recently acquired mucker. If timber is required, SBMI has the timber rights at surface at the Washington Mine and can harvest the timber as needed.

The mining plan at the Washington Mine is subject to evolution as new facts are encountered on surface, underground and in the supply chain. The current plan is to mine around the caved area, develop a raise in the mineralized material up to surface, and to work through the winter as possible. This requires SBMI to acquire an explosive licence, for which it is applying.

Winter weather in Idaho is an uncontrollable risk, but mitigated at the Washington Mine due to the mine’s proximity to a highway.

Readers should be cautioned that the Company’s decision to move forward with the construction of and production at the Washington Mine and the Buckeye Mine is not based on the results of any pre-feasibility study or feasibility study of mineral resources demonstrating economic or technical viability. The Company has undertaken exploration and development activities; and after taking into consideration various factors, including but not limited to: historical data, the exploration and development results to date, technical information developed internally, the availability of financing, and the starting costs as estimated internally by the Company’s management, the Company is of the view that the establishment of mineral reserves by way of a prefeasibility or feasibility study at this stage is not necessary and would be unduly costly, and that the most responsible utilization of the Company’s resources is to proceed with the development of the mines. Readers are cautioned that due to the lack of prefeasibility study or feasibility study, there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with the Company’s decision. In particular, there is additional risk that mineral grades may be lower than expected, and the risk that construction or continuing mining operations may be more difficult or more expensive than management expected. Production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. Failure at the Washington or Buckeye Mine may materially adversely impact the Company’s overall ability to continue as a going concern.

Silver Bullet Mines Closes Financing and Takes Samples from Diabase

 

November 3, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario – On October 21, 2022 Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announced a financing of Units (the “Financing”), whereby each Unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each Unit is priced at $0.20 (twenty cents). Each common share purchase warrant has a 2-year term and is exercisable at $0.30 (thirty cents).

SBMI announces it has closed on the first tranche of the Financing, being $447,000. This represents 2,235,000 common shares and 2,235,000 common share purchase warrants. The Company expects further tranches to close in the near future. In relation to the Financing the Company paid commissions by way of 84,000 broker warrants and cash commissions of $16,800. Insiders are still blacked out by order of the Chair and were not allowed to participate in the Financing.

On September 26, 2022 the Company announced it had found high-grade gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium and osmium (the “Bonus Materials”) in concentrates resulting from 200 tons of material from the Buckeye Mine. To help identify the source and/or location of the Bonus Materials, and to help determine whether the Bonus Materials are limited to the Buckeye veins or are also present in the host materials around the veins, the Company recently took samples from the diabase at several locations near and in the Buckeye Silver Mine. “Diabase” is also known as “country rock” or “host rock”, and is the material hosting the many veins in and near the Buckeye Silver Mine.

The Company announces it has received assay results from an independent lab with respect to those samples taken from the diabase. Those results are being considered and will be disclosed to the public as soon as possible.

Finally, and as previously disclosed, the Company has encountered procedural challenges in completing its first audit as an operating company, including but not limited to cross-border documentation. Some of these challenges were caused by COVID-19 restrictions on travel to the mill and mine sites in Arizona, others by a local inexperience with audit processes. Management sees these challenges as transitory and procedural. There are no items in disagreement, whether material or not, between the auditors and the Company. Management and the board expect to be able to file the audited financial statements and the MDA for the year ended June 30, 2022 imminently.

Silver Bullet Mines Update

 

October 28, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) on October 21, 2022 announced a financing of Units (the “Financing”), whereby each Unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each Unit is priced at $0.20 (twenty cents). Each common share purchase warrant has a 2-year term and is exercisable at $0.30 (thirty cents). SBMI announces the Financing has received conditional stock exchange approval. The Financing will close in tranches as funds are received.

A trading blackout on all Company directors, management and consultants was imposed by the Chair of the board, and such blackout continues. This was because the Company has been provided with a steady stream of data and opinions from third parties with respect to adding a further processing facility to the existing mill in Arizona to be able to extract the recently discovered palladium, platinum, rhodium, osmium and high-grade gold, and at this time the Company is unable to determine which facts are material and which are not. This determination can only be made in the fullness of time as further facts are determined. The trading blackout is the most conservative approach to protecting the integrity of the markets and the reputations of the insiders.

During this period the Company has been working with its auditors in the normal course to prepare the Company’s audited financial statements and MDA for the year ending June 30, 2022 (the “Filings”). The likely imminent determination of which facts are material may impact the subsequent event notes for the Filings. Further, the Company has encountered procedural challenges in completing its first audit as an operating company, including but not limited to cross-border documentation. Some of these challenges were caused by COVID-19 restrictions on travel to the mill and mine sites in Arizona, others by a local lack of familiarity with audit processes. Management sees these challenges as transitory and procedural. There are no items in disagreement, whether material or not, between the auditors and the Company.

As a result, it is likely the Filings will not be filed on Friday, October 28th, 2022. The effect of this will likely be a management cease trade order, which is the same in substance as the blackout already imposed by the Chair. There is no impact upon any shareholder apart from directors, management and consultants. The Company anticipates being able to file the Filings very soon thereafter as the procedural challenges are remedied.

The Company waited as long as possible to disseminate this press release, to obtain as current input as possible from the auditors and the Company’s audit committee as to timing to effect the Filings.

Silver Bullet Mines Financing for High-Grade Gold and PGMs

 

October 21, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario – On September 26, 2022 Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) disclosed it had found significant levels of palladium, platinum, rhodium, osmium and gold in its concentrate. On October 18, 2022 SBMI announced a second round of assay results proving up the palladium, platinum, rhodium, osmium and gold in representative mineralized material from its Buckeye Silver Mine near Globe, Arizona.

To allow SBMI to exploit the palladium, platinum, rhodium, osmium and gold, in addition to the original silver targets, SBMI announces its intention to carry out a non-brokered financing of Units. Each Unit will be priced at $0.20 (twenty cents) and will comprise of one common share and one full 30-cent (thirty cents) warrant with a 24-month term, with each such warrant being exercisable into a common share (the “Financing”).

The target amount for the Financing will be $600,000 (six hundred thousand dollars), with the number of Units to issue as a result of the Financing being 3,000,000. Units will be allocated on a first come, first served basis although SBMI retains the right to accept, reject or modify subscription agreements as it sees fit. The Financing is subject to regulatory approval.

SBMI currently owns a gravity mill near Globe, Arizona that is fully functional for the extraction of silver. The use of proceeds from the Financing will be to determine what equipment will be required to augment that mill’s capabilities to also extract the other elements mentioned above. All of the existing mill will be retained. Other proceeds from the Financing will be for working capital.

Silver Bullet Mines Continues to Assay for High-Grade Gold and PGMs

 

October 18, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario – On September 26, 2022 Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) disclosed it had found significant levels of palladium, platinum, rhodium, osmium and gold in its concentrate.

To help identify with greater precision the location of the source of the platinum, palladium, rhodium, osmium and gold, SBMI recently took samples directly from locations around the Buckeye Silver Mine and the Company’s mill site, including from crushed material, directly from the vein, from diabase samples from the wall rock and from tailings from the run of lower grade material. The location from which those samples were taken and their assay results are below:

Oct 18 V3.png

Samples from all locations above were taken to be as representative of the local mineralized material as possible. Samples taken from the crushed ore are by their nature representative of the source mineralized material.

In management’s opinion, this round of results provides further strong evidence for the conclusion that the Buckeye Silver Mine may host economic amounts of platinum, rhodium, palladium, osmium and gold, in addition to the original silver targets. Management has engaged third party engineers, metallurgists and geologists to assist in creating a new process flow sheet and in determining the nature of the mineralized material at the Buckeye Silver Mine. Without effecting selective disclosure, management has also had positive preliminary discussions with potential financiers, pending the delivery of the flow sheet and a rough budget.

QAQC

For each batch, Lone Pine Analytical of Phoenix, Arizona sampled two distinct samples (approx 200mg), digested, filtered, diluted and analyzed. For the digestion, the lab used [1mL HF: 4.5mL Nitric Acid: 4.5mL HCI]. The samples were digested in a microwave in sealed PTFE tubes where the temperature reached 200C with a total cycle time of 40 minutes. Bismuth (Bi) was used the internal standard. A three-point calibration, plotted through zero was used with excellent linear correlation for each element. Thus, the lab used an internal and external standards (instrument calibration). Chain of custody protocols were strictly observed. Lone Pine Analytical, as of September 11, 2022, is in the process of renewing its ISO /IEC-17025 lab accreditation with a scope for metals in soils and rocks.

Readers are cautioned that although management has made every reasonable effort to ensure the samples are as representative of the local mineralized material as possible, the samples above (apart from the crushed ore samples) are ultimately random by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization throughout the Buckeye Silver Mine.

Mr. Robert G. Komarechka, P.Geo., an independent consultant, has reviewed and verified SBMI’s work referred to herein, and is the Qualified Person for this release.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Discovery of Gold and Critical Mineral Palladium

 

September 26, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) has assayed, among other elements, significant quantities of palladium and gold in the mineralized material from its Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona. These surprise discoveries are not factored into any of the Company’s internal financial projections. This mineralized material was taken from a newly exposed section at the Buckeye.

Palladium is currently trading at roughly USD$2,100 per ounce and gold is currently trading at roughly USD$1,650 per ounce. For reference below, SBMI notes that one ppm (part per million) is equivalent to one gram per ton. There are 28.34 grams in one ounce.

How The Gold and Palladium Were Found

The gold and palladium were discovered after SBMI processed roughly 60 tons of Buckeye Mine material at its 100%-owned mill, and then encountered challenges in pouring proper silver dore bars to satisfy the outstanding sample run order. An example of such challenges is in the picture below.

Silver Bullet 1 Septemeber 26, 2022.jpg

                                                      Recent dore bar from ore at the Buckeye Mine

To help identify the possible source of this, SBMI sent samples (the “First Batch”) from its concentrates to Lone Pine Analytical, a third-party lab, for further analysis. That analysis revealed elevated levels of palladium and gold, as per the chart below:

sbmi table 1.png

In response to these unusual values, SBMI will be undertaking referee sampling with another independent third-party ISO accredited lab.

“Those are astonishing results for the gold and palladium,” said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “To the best of our knowledge the only significant producer of palladium in the United States of America is Sibanye-Stillwater in Montana, so this is a possible game-changer, not just for SBMI but for mining in Arizona. We have heard anecdotal evidence of Pt-Pd production as a by-product of porphyry mining in the Globe area and have seen data from a local prospective Pt-Pd property, but we are still investigating what our results mean and we are considering what SBMI’s next steps will be.”

The Company believes the results above are a fair representation of the 60 tons of ore extracted from the Buckeye Mine.

SBMI’s In-House Assays

SBMI then took a batch (the “Second Batch”) of a further seven samples from various locations in the mill, representing roughly 140 tons of ore. SBMI’s assay team assayed those samples for silver only, following which the following unique identifiers were added to each sample:

  1. Head Feed 700 oz/Ton

  2. 100 gm 2503oz/Ton Conc

  3. #1 Table Cons. Original

  4. #1 Table Cons from Mill

  5. #2 Table Cons from Mill

  6. Tails

  7. Dorie Bead

 

Those titles were provided by SBMI’s assay team to Lone Pine Analytics. The leader of SBMI’s assay team, Mr. Robert Budd, collected and assayed those samples. SBMI has on prior occasions and on its website made disclosure of Mr. Budd’s credentials and QAQC processes, and will include these matters below.

Second Batch to Lone Pine Analytics

After being assayed for silver only by SBMI, the Second Batch was then sent to Lone Pine Analytical for further analysis of additional elements. The average values for Au and Pd of the 7 samples returned from Long Pine Analytics for the gold and the palladium were as follows:

chart proper.png

In response to these unusual values, SBMI will be undertaking referee sampling with another independent third party ISO accredited lab.

All of the roughly 200 tons of material were taken directly from the vein accessed at the lower drift. All 200 tons were taken and processed in the normal course, with no selective sampling.

“We made a decision early on to build our own mill in Arizona to high standards, and as a result we have been able to immediately recognise there were significant amounts of elements other than silver in this new material” continued Mr. Carter. “Standard exploration techniques would not have found the gold or palladium without the expenditure of millions of exploration dollars. We are there more quickly for much less money.”

SBMI has found a potential buyer for the concentrates who is likely able to process the palladium in addition to the gold and silver, but before making final decisions SBMI is waiting on further assay data and input from metallurgists, engineers and others.

QAQC For SBMI

All the samples above were collected by Mr. Robert Budd, a Metallurgical Process Engineer who began his career in metallurgical engineering in 1972. He has held various positions with various employers including Senior Engineer, Superintendent, Engineer, Technical Assistant, Technician, and Lab Assistant. Most recently, prior to joining SBMI he was involved in designing and creating an internal assay facility in Arizona for Freeport McMorran Inc. He has also been the the Principal Process Specialist for Fluor Canada out of Vancouver, the Senior Metallurgical Engineer for Doe Run Lead, the Project Engineer for the commissioning of a copper concentrator start-up at Oz Minerals’ Prominent Hill Mine in South Australia, Senior Metallurgical Engineer for Cyprus Miami/Phelps Dodge Miami in Arizona, Metallurgical Engineer and Metallurgical Lab Supervisor for Newmont Gold in Nevada, and Chief Metallurgist for Inspiration/Cyprus Miami in Arizona among other positions.

The samples analyzed by SBMI at its facility near Globe, Arizona were processed by Mr. Budd through the Lab Jaw Crusher, Lab Hammer Mill and Splitter Box into an aliquot. Most of the pulverized aliquot was mixed with a flux and flour combination and melted in a crucible at 1,850 degree Fahrenheit, with the remainder being logged and archived. Upon cooling, the poured melt was in the form of a metal button and slag, following which a bone ash cupel was utilized to eliminate the lead in the button to form a bead. The bead was then weighed, following which a solution of 6 to 1 distilled water to nitric acid was utilized to dissolve the silver in the bead at approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit. A much more detailed description of the process and a picture of the assay lab can be found at https://www.silverbulletmines.com/qaqcassaylab.

QAQC For Lone Pine Analytics

For each batch, Lone Pine Analytical of Phoenix, Arizona sampled two distinct samples (approx 200mg), digested, filtered, diluted and analyzed. For the digestion, the lab used [1mL HF: 4.5mL Nitric Acid: 4.5mL HCI]. The samples were digested in a microwave in sealed PTFE tubes where the temperature reached 200C with a total cycle time of 40 minutes. Bismuth (Bi) was used the internal standard. A three-point calibration, plotted through zero was used with excellent linear correlation for each element. Thus, the lab used an internal and external standards (instrument calibration). Chain of custody protocols were strictly observed. Lone Pine Analytical, as of September 11, 2023, is in the process of renewing its ISO /IEC-17025 lab accreditation with a scope for metals in soils and rocks

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. - Begins Processing of High Grade Ore

 

September 1, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce two major achievements. It has begun processing higher grade ore at its 100%-owned mill, and it has signed its first contract for the delivery of silver dore bars.

“These are major milestones in the Company’s growth,” said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “In less than a year after starting construction of our mill, we are processing the higher grade material extracted from our Buckeye Silver Mine and we have signed our first contract to deliver silver out of that mine. This is outstanding work from everyone on the team.”

                                                             First run of higher grade material at the mill

The bars for the order will be poured at the Company’s mill site near Globe, Arizona, using a mixture of the lower and the higher grade ores taken from the Company’s Buckeye Silver Mine. Several of the bars have already been poured and are ready for shipping and it is intended that the others will be poured in the immediate future.

This first order is a sample run of 50 kilograms of dore silver. The identity of the counter-party to the agreement is confidential. That counter-party has expressed an intention after this sample run to purchase all available uncommitted silver product produced at the Company’s mill.

SBMI recently received a technical report (not NI43-101) from its third-party engineering firm with minor recommendations to increase efficiencies at the mill. SBMI has implemented such recommendations while running the lower grade material stockpiled at the mill. The successful processing of this ore has led to the decision to start processing the higher grade material. In management’s opinion the mill is now running at near-optimal efficiencies.

The grade of the ore and the dore bars will be disclosed in the normal course, as the ore is processed.

Please visit the Company’s website for videos of the higher grade material being processed.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Updates on Washington Mine in Idaho

 

August 23, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing operations at its 100%-owned Washington Mine in Idaho. This mine is on patented lands.

Site work has commenced to prepare the property for rehabilitation and production. A local portable sawmill operator is on-site to prepare to mill timbers. A contractor has been scheduled to upgrade the access road and to establish site water, electricity and storage. Near-term surface work will focus on rock bolting, screening and shotcreting the historical portal face, as well as preparing timbers and insulation for mine entry support.

Contract terms have been negotiated with an underground mine contractor and, subject to completion of a federal agency filing and the approval of mine design by the Company’s mine engineer, underground rehabilitation is anticipated to begin in or about October. It is not possible at this time to provide a timetable for production as that largely depends upon the rehabilitation process. At some point in time, Mine Safety and Health Administration will carry out an inspection.

The Washington Mine first saw production in the late 1800's with an average gold grade of one ounce per ton. It again produced gold in the 1930's during which time the then-owner lacked the process capability needed to produce silver, so a decision was made to block out the silver mineralization with the intention of returning at a future date to extract it. To the best of SBMI’s knowledge, the blocked-out volume remains in situ. A historical report indicates the blocked-out volume contains an estimated 3 million ounces of silver with a grade of 30 to 90 ounces per ton and 15,000 ounces of gold at 0.3 ounces per ton. (Source, “Geological Evaluation”, Roger G. Stoker, P.G. and Ryne C. Stoker, Student Geologist, Energy Services Inc., December, 1981.)

Stoker also indicated the underground location of the “Berger Vein”, described as a “gold ore shoot 25 feet wide, 135 feet long, and unknown depth.” Average grades were given as 0.3 oz/ton gold with unknown silver content. Additional notes in Stoker suggest that the Berger Vein had been intersected in drifting at the 400-foot level.

The references above to data and observations derived from work not carried out by SBMI are of historical nature only and cannot be relied upon at this time. SBMI does not know the methods by which such work was carried out, or whether all or part of it was under the supervision of a Qualified Person, as that term is defined in NI43-101. SBMI refers to such data and observations to inform its knowledge of the area.

SBMI disclosed the results of part of its field program on December 9, 2021 (filed at SEDAR December 15, 2021). A reminder of those strong results is below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Based in part on the information from Stoker, and in part on the data above, and from its own other observations, SBMI took a bulk sample from the Washington Mine, the results of which were disclosed on January 18, 2022. That bulk sample returned 55.5 ounces silver per ton, within the historical parameters of 30 to 90 ounces silver per ton.

Further, the Company may have found the surface expression of the Berger Vein in its 2021 field season. As disclosed on December 9, 2021 soil geochemistry returned gold values up to 9 ppm in areas of shallow soil cover. The Company anticipates that future field work comprising of further soil geochemistry and hand trenching could lead to exposure of in-place gold mineralization.

Underground, historical plan maps depict a cross cut at the main portal level at about 200 feet lower in elevation. The Company believes the cross cut accessed the Berger Vein. SBMI intends to access this cross cut during rehabilitation efforts. Once safe passage through the cross cut is secured, SBMI anticipates systematic sampling, evaluation and potential underground drilling in the Berger Vein area.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Operational Update

 

August 11, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) provides an operational update on the ramp-up of its 125 metric ton per day pilot plant in Arizona, on progress at its Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona, and on progress at the Washington Mine in Idaho.

While processing the lower-grade material from the Buckeye, all components of the Arizona mill continue to perform within parameters. Adjustments continue to be made within those parameters to fine-tune production. As a result the mill is producing silver concentrate and is pouring silver dore bars from this material, while the ramp-up continues. The Company intends to introduce higher-grade material from the Buckeye once the mill is operating optimally, to avoid wastage in the tailings.

sbmi 2.jpg

                                                               Dore bars poured at the end of July, 2022

 

The silver concentrate and dore bars have been and continue to be shipped to potential purchasers for analysis. All purchases will likely be FOB the mill site.

 

Occasional challenges are being encountered with the motor and starter for the ball mill. The field team reasonably believes these challenges can be overcome in the near future.

 

At the Buckeye Mine, mineralized material is being extracted from the vein above the decline near the Treasure Room. SBMI is also bolting, screening and adding timber to the adit as part of its ESG commitment.

 

In Idaho at the Washington Mine, SBMI has begun the process to have the adit timbered and brought to current safety standards. The next step there would be for the contract miner to begin the process of extracting a bulk sample of between 1,500 and 3,000 tons, to be processed at a local mill. Management expects SBMI’s capital investment for this process to be relatively minor.

 

Largely due to Covid the ramp-up of the mill in Arizona has taken longer than anticipated which has had an effect upon the Company’s anticipated cashflow. With a view to protecting its treasury SBMI is in advanced negotiations to enter into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with its largest institutional shareholder (the “Lender”) whereby SBMI would borrow CDN$650,000 (six hundred and fifty thousand dollars) for an 18-month term. The Agreement would provide for an 8 % interest rate and a conversion feature, whereby upon conversion the loan may convert into 2,166,667 units (each, a “Unit”) at an effective price of $0.30 per Unit. This is at a premium to the current market price. Each Unit would be comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.35 for a four-year term.

 

Closing on the Agreement is conditional upon regulatory approval.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Releases Assay Results including 2,363.8 oz/t Silver

 

July 25, 2022 – Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF)  (“SBMI” or “the Company”) announces spectacular assay results for silver from its Buckeye Mine in Arizona.

The assay results below came from a test carried out by SBMI to further confirm, in practice, the efficiencies with which SBMI’s assay lab would process the high-grade ore from the Buckeye Mine. The person who carried out the test in Arizona was Ron Murphy, the Company’s VP Mining, together with SBMI’s assay team, under the supervision of Bob Budd, metallurgical engineer.

Below is a picture of the Heavy Rock2 select grab sample that SBMI took from behind the Treasure Chest at its Buckeye Mine in March, 2022. Mr. Murphy recently sampled Heavy Rock2, in a process that resulted in two beads.

One bead graded 2,214.4 oz/t silver and the other 2,363.8 oz/t silver.

Silver Bullet Press Release July 26, 2022 -2.jpg

These results are spectacular and Management is thrilled with them as the extreme results were unexpected due to the fine dissemination of silver throughout this type of rock. However, Management believes the grade of future beads can be increased as the field team continues to fine tune the mill and the assay lab to increase their efficiencies.

“We designed the assay lab and the mill with the high-grade material from the Buckeye in mind, in the belief they would work together to produce saleable high grade material”, said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “That belief is why we built a complete processing facility in under 10 months, for less than $3,000,000. These assay results go a long way to justifying that belief and the building of the mill. Our field team has been incredible.”

Bead from Buckeye Mine Ore grading 2,363.8 oz/t silver

SBMI continues to bring what it believes to be high- grade product from the Buckeye Mine to the millsite, in anticipation of completing the mill tune-up with lower grade material, and then commencing milling the higher grade material. Discussions are underway with various potential buyers for SBMI’s concentrate, and for the dore once poured.

QA/QC

The samples analyzed by SBMI at its facility near Globe, Arizona were processed through the Lab Jaw Crusher, Lab Hammer Mill and Splitter Box into an aliquot. Most of the pulverized aliquot was mixed with a flux and flour combination and melted in a crucible at 1,850 degree Fahrenheit, with the remainder being logged and archived. Upon cooling, the poured melt was in the form of a metal button and slag, following which a bone ash cupel was utilized to eliminate the lead in the button to form a bead.  The bead was then weighed, following which a solution of 6 to 1 distilled water to nitric acid was utilized to dissolve the silver in the bead at approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit. A much more detailed description of the process and a picture of the assay lab can be found at https://www.silverbulletmines.com/qaqcassaylab.

Readers should be aware that the SBMI facilities have been designed for quick production grade control and are not ISO compliant; however, duplicate sampling with other ISO labs has been done on past samples with good correlation.

 

Readers are cautioned Heavy Rock2 may not be representative of all the material in the Treasure Room or overall at the Buckeye Silver Mine. Readers are further advised that these preliminary assay values do not represent a reserve or resource at this time. While significant silver values have been encountered, the quantity, grade, or metal or mineral content of a deposit has not been categorized as an inferred mineral resource, an indicated mineral resource, a measured mineral resource, a probable mineral resource, reserve or a proven mineral reserve.

 

Mr. Robert G. Komarechka, P.Geo., an independent consultant and the Qualified Person for this release, has reviewed and verified SBMI’s work referred to herein and approves this Press Release for public dissemination.

Silver Bullet Mines Produces Silver

 

Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2022) - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) ("SBMI" or "the Company") is both pleased and proud to announce it has successfully produced silver and copper at its wholly owned 125 metric ton per day mill near Globe, Arizona.

"This production is the result of years of hard work, planning and dedication, and the incredible talents of the Arizona team," said A. John Carter, SBMI's CEO. "Over the past ten months, despite COVID-19 and global supply chain issues, we have spent less than three million dollars building this fully functional mill, a staggering feat. This is to my mind a one-of-a-kind experience."

The mill produced its first silver concentrate from lower grade ore on July 12, 2022 and plans to soon pour its first dore bars. The Company intends to continue to use lower grade ore to optimize recovery efficiency and fine tune the various mill components. Higher grade ore will be introduced into the system once the mill is operating at higher rates of recovery. To date there have been no major setbacks and all components are operating within expected parameters.

Below is a photo of the first band of silver coming off the shaker table. The silver is visible on the left side of the photo. The secondary concentrate line is a silver/copper blend which will be bagged and sold. The initial concentrate and dore should be sold to various refineries, whose apparent demand should account for SBMI's entire silver and copper production over the coming weeks.

A video of the shaker table operating can be found at the Company's website, www.silverbulletmines.com.

The Buckeye Silver Mine is the source of the bulk sample ore for the mill. Both the mill and the Buckeye Mine are 100% controlled by SBMI. At the Buckeye, the field team is currently extracting ore from a vein at a location where it is approximately 12 feet wide. SBMI's target is to have at least one month (5,000 tonnes) of raw ore available to the mill at all times, meaning management expects ore to be continually shipped from the Buckeye to the mill on a regular schedule.

Over the coming weeks management expects a steady stream of announcements as material milestones are met.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp.’s Successful Commissioning of its Silver Pilot Plant

 

July 5, 2022 – Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF)  (“SBMI” or “the Company”) announces it has successfully completed commissioning of its wholly owned 125 MTPD state of the art mill near Globe, Arizona. This is the latest major achievement in progressing towards bulk sampling and silver production.

Despite minor delays caused by COVID-19, the commissioning was successfully completed on July 3, 2022. Over the past few weeks all equipment at the mill was test run and synchronized for continuity. No material defects or deficiencies were detected.

“In September of 2021 this was an empty field,” said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “Now this field hosts a fully functional silver processing facility, ready to start processing a bulk sample of ore from our Buckeye Silver Mine. This could not have been achieved without the incredible skill and dedication of the technical team in Arizona.”

SBMI has commenced crushing ore through the crushing circuit (see video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16ft1Dm-LMI) and is filling the fine ore bin. The photo on the left below shows coarse ore from the Company’s local Buckeye Silver Mine and the photo on the right shows crushed ore in the fine ore bin. The cone crusher and jaw crusher successfully crushed the ore to less than ½ inch in diameter, which is ideal feed for the ball mill.

The next step on the path to producing concentrate and dore bars is to start running the fine ore through the grinding and gravity circuit. This will require a ramp-up period until all equipment is running at maximum efficiency.

Samples are being sent to multiple companies which have expressed an interest in buying SBMI’s concentrate and dore.

This is yet another giant leap forward for the Company. SBMI is on the cusp of producing both silver and copper and generating cash flow which will enable it to continue to execute on its business plan.

Commissioning of Silver Bullet Mines Corp.'s Mill Has Begun

 

Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2022) - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) ("SBMI" or "the Company") announces it has commenced commissioning of its wholly owned 125 MTPD state of the art mill located near Globe, Arizona. This is the next step to silver production.

"Commissioning is the culmination of much planning and hard work," said A. John Carter, SBMI's CEO. "The field team overcame global supply chain issues to create a functioning 125 MTPD mill, in a location that was an empty field only last September. We are looking forward to processing ore as quickly as possible."

Commissioning will take place over the next few weeks and will include the following steps:

  • water will be run through the mill to check for leaks;

  • each motor will be test run individually and sequentially;

  • each piece of equipment will be test run individually and sequentially to confirm technical matters such as the alignment of gears, bearing temperatures, and clearances;

  • the conveyors will be tracked for speed and consistency;

  • the crushers will be adjusted to proper settings as dictated by the conveyors;

  • the ball charge will then be put in the mill, meaning the steel balls will be inserted into the ball mill in anticipation of feedstock;

  • once all the equipment is calibrated, the mill will again be wet run with water to insure pumps and piping are correct; and

  • the installation of ancillary equipment as needed will follow.

 

SBMI has contracted Sepro Mineral Systems Corp., the manufacturer of the Falcon Concentrators, to provide a start-up technical team to train SBMI's experienced mill crew, to insure optimum efficiency of each piece of the mill and the mill overall. The third-party electrical engineers will have at least one person on-site during start-up as well.

When the overall mill has been confirmed to be operating properly, test feed material will be added. As previously disclosed the Company has stockpiled at the millsite some lower grade ore from the Buckeye Silver Mine to serve as test feed. This will allow SBMI to fine tune the mill while minimizing the risk of losing valuable metals to tailings.

It is anticipated the entire commissioning process will take a few weeks, following which processing of the higher grade material can begin.

SBMI will provide further updates as it progresses through the commissioning process.

Near-Term Production at Washington Silver Mine in Idaho

 

May 5, 2022 – Burlington, Ontario - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI and OTCQB:SBMCF)  (“SBMI” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on operations at its 100%-owned Washington Mine in Idaho. This mine is on patented lands.

“We are pleased to be back at the Washington Mine and moving forward to production,” said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “The plan is to access the ore zone in June, to commence production in July, and to continue to work through the winter of 22-23.” SBMI is in discussions with an experienced contract miner to commence such work as soon as reasonably possible, subject to a due diligence site visit.

The Washington Mine first saw production in the late 1800's with an average gold grade of one ounce per ton. It again produced gold in the 1930's during which time the then-owner lacked the process capability needed to produce silver, so a decision was made to block out the silver mineralization with the intention of returning at a future date to extract it. To the best of SBMI’s knowledge, the blocked-out volume remains in situ. A historical report indicates the blocked-out volume contains an estimated 3 million ounces of silver with a grade of 30 to 90 ounces per ton and 15,000 ounces of gold at 0.3 ounces per ton. (Source, “Geological Evaluation”, Roger G. Stoker, P.G. and Ryne C. Stoker, Student Geologist, Energy Services Inc., December, 1981.)

Stoker also indicated the location of the “Berger Vein”, described as a “gold ore shoot 25 feet wide, 135 feet long, and unknown depth.” Average grades were given as 0.3 oz/ton gold with unknown silver content. Additional notes in Stoker suggest that the Berger Vein was intersected in drifting at the 400-foot level.

The references above to data and observations derived from work not carried out by SBMI are of historical nature only and cannot be relied upon at this time. SBMI does not know the methods by which such work was carried out, or whether all or part of it was under the supervision of a Qualified Person, as that term is defined in NI43-101. SBMI refers to such data and observations to inform its knowledge of the area.

Based in part on the information from Stoker, SBMI took a bulk sample from the Washington Mine, the results of which were disclosed on January 18, 2022. That bulk sample returned 55.5 ounces silver per ton. It is the Company’s intention to exploit that mineralization while developing other vein faces.

To that end the Company’s onsite contractor has cleared small trees that had fallen over the winter, has upgraded the road, and with snowmelt, has cleared access to the main portal.

May 5, 2022-1.jpg

SBMI has also contracted a portable sawmill to be on site in the near future to start cutting timber for the underground workings. There will be cost-savings as SBMI owns the timber rights at the Washington Mine, meaning SBMI can provide most of the required timber. The Company is also installing a water supply and equipment container.

It is intended that SBMI meet the contract miner at the Washington Mine in the next few weeks for a due diligence visit.

 

Some of the items involved in having the contract miner begin removing mineralized material are:

  • Road upgrade permit has been received and the work completed;

  • Mine ID has been applied for and received;

  • A ventilation plan is in progress and should be completed in next few weeks;

  • MSHA approval should be received shortly;

  • Contract negotiations are underway with a Mine Rescue contractor; and

  • Metallurgical testing is ongoing at Montana Technical University with results anticipated in the next few weeks.

 

It is anticipated the contract miner will take an initial bulk sample of 1500 to 3000 tons in July, for processing at a local mill. Upon completion of the processing of the bulk sample, SBMI intends to start underground development, targeting the parallel zone and the Berger Vein.

All the above items are being completed under the on-site supervision of Mr. Nick Barr, geologist.

The Company is also planning a surface exploration program at the Washington Mine this summer to further delineate the parallel structures discovered during last year’s field program.

Access to the property can be maintained through the winter as SBMI has contracted a local service provider who has the equipment needed to keep the road open. Decisions on the scope of winter work underground will be determined after the Company receives the results of the July bulk sample.

 

In Arizona at the Buckeye Silver Mine, work continues to complete the 125t/day mill. Wiring the Motor Control Centre to the various parts of the ball mill has begun. The estimated timeline for completion is roughly four weeks, although that is largely out of SBMI’s control. There continues to be some supply chain risk and pricing risk as to when all equipment will be ready and on-site, although SBMI believes it has taken all necessary steps to reduce such risks.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Invited Back to Emerging Growth Conference and Update on Mill in Arizona

 

Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 25, 2022) - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) ("SBMI" or "the Company") is pleased to provide the following update on the current status of operations at its 100%-owned mill near Globe, Arizona.

All major components are in place at the mill and the technical team is completing the installation of smaller components while preparing for the installation of the electrical system. The timing of starting of the electrical work was dependent upon the timing of delivery of the third shipping container to the millsite and the installation of the equipment including the Motor Control Centre ("MCC"). The installation of those items was a pragmatic pre-condition to SBMI applying for the requisite permits.

Once those items were installed, SBMI applied for and received the necessary permits. With those permits in hand the electrical contractor is currently assembling the panels and switchgear at its plant mill. SBMI anticipates that task should be completed in the next three weeks. Cable trays on the mill and MCC are installed in anticipation of the electrical team being on-site. As an ESG-committed company SBMI is ensuring all installations are carried out safely, to code, and with minimal impact on the environment.

"As much as we'd like to, we are unable to give with precision an exact date upon which the mill will be turning, but we are extremely close to being able to process ore from the Buckeye Silver Mine," said A. John Carter, SBMI's CEO. "The field team has been doing tremendous work to get us here. We continue to stockpile ore at the millsite in anticipation of mill completion."

SBMI also announces that it has been invited to present again at the Emerging Growth Conference on Wednesday, April 27 at 12:30 pm EST.

SBMI first presented at the Emerging Growth Conference in December, 2021, just after SBMI's common shares were listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. Now that SBMI's shares also trade through the OTCQB, it seemed appropriate to re-visit this conference to update attendees on SBMI's progress at its silver mines in Arizona and Idaho.

This will again be a real-time, interactive event will give existing shareholders and the investment community the opportunity to interact with Mr. Peter M. Clausi, SBMI's VP, Capital Markets, in real time. Mr. Clausi will provide a general overview of SBMI, its capital structure, its achievements in the field, its ESG successes, and its plans for the future. The floor will then be open for questions.

Silver Bullet Mines Provides Assay Results from the Buckeye Mine Including a Footwall Assay of 706.6 Ounces per Ton Silver

 

Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 4, 2022) - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) ("SBMI" or "the Company") is pleased to provide the following report on its continuous assay program at its Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona.

This press release reports the recent assay results from 44 samples. The assays were processed at SBMI's non-ISO in-house assay facility in Arizona under the supervision of Robert Budd, a metallurgical engineer whose career in metallurgy began in 1972, and Vic Powers, a certified Arizona assayer. The assays include samples from four underground areas of the Buckeye Mine, these being: 1) the footwall of the vein; 2) the recently announced Treasure Room stope; 3) behind the Treasure Room stope; and 4) the historical tailings.

Five samples, taken from the footwall of the vein from an area covering approximately 14 to 18 inches in width, provided the following returns (in ounces of silver per ton or oz/t as well as grams per tonne or g/t):

  • 341.8 oz/t or 11,718.95 g/t;

  • 336.2 oz/t or 11,152.95 g/t;

  • 674.0 oz/t or 23,108.76 g/t;

  • 706.6 oz/t or 24,226.49 g/t; and

  • 124.4 oz/t or 4,265.18 g/t;

The average of the remaining 39 samples (including 6 samples of 0.0 oz/t) is as follows:

  • Treasure Room stope assays (27 samples) - 20.17 oz/t or 691.56 g/t silver

  • Assays behind the Treasure Room stope (7 samples) - 37.08 oz/t or 1,271.32 g/t silver

  • Assays from the Treasure Room's historical tailings (5 samples) - 17.9 oz/t or 613.72 g/t silver.

cd6817a00f12af34b2c3ab022ccafc8a-505px.webp

The overall average for all the 39 above samples is 22.91 oz/t or 785.63 g/t silver. The high-grade values from the footwall were not included in the above overall average.

"These are exciting numbers and they provide us with a great deal of confidence in our internal grade estimates as we move to production", said A. John Carter, SBMI's CEO. "As any responsible producer would, we will continuously sample and assay as we proceed."

Readers are cautioned that the 44 samples are selective grab samples and may not be representative of all the material at the Buckeye Silver Mine. The reader is further advised that these preliminary assay values do not represent a reserve or resource at this time. While significant silver values have been encountered, the quantity, grade, or metal or mineral content of a deposit has not been categorized as an inferred mineral resource, an indicated mineral resource, a measured mineral resource, a probable mineral resource, reserve or a proven mineral reserve.

As it moves into production, SBMI will assay on a daily basis to better enable it to determine the production head grade of the feed material. SBMI does not intend to report all assays taken daily.

In light of the high-grade values in the assays, the Company has engaged Montana Technical University to help SBMI optimize an efficient recovery process flow sheet. The capital expenditures being made to the mill, funded by the recently-completed oversubscribed financing, will also assist in improving recoveries.

The mill, on permitted patented lands owned by SBMI, is close to completion. Electrical, piping and small fabrication items remain to be completed before commencement of an anticipated two-week trial period. During this two-week trial period SBMI will move roughly 1,500 tons of the lower-grade ore to the mill.

SBMI will move its two boom jumbo and mucker to the Buckeye Silver Mine in anticipation of completion of ongoing development and commencement of mining.

QA/QC

No standards, duplicates or blanks were used or the above 44 samples although management intends to include such checks in future assay programs. Management also intends occasionally send samples to an ISO-certified third party lab for confirmation of SBMI's owns lab equipment and processes.

The samples analyzed by SBMI at its facility near Globe, Arizona were processed through the Lab Jaw Crusher, Lab Hammer Mill and Splitter Box into an aliquot. Most of the pulverized aliquot was mixed with a flux and flour combination and melted in a crucible at 1,850 degree Fahrenheit, with the remainder being logged and archived. Upon cooling, the poured melt was in the form of a metal button and slag, following which a bone ash cupel was utilized to eliminate the lead in the button to form a bead. The bead was then weighed, following which a solution of 6 to 1 distilled water to nitric acid was utilized to dissolve the silver in the bead at approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit. A much more detailed description of the process and a picture of the assay lab can be found at https://www.silverbulletmines.com/qaqcassaylab.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. New Auditors and Extension of Oversubscribed Financing

March 25, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario –Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces an extension to close on the final tranche of its previously announced financing (the “Financing”). The Company has closed on two tranches already in the Financing and has outstanding subscription agreements in hand. The total amount when adding the cash from those two tranches and the outstanding subscription agreements is $2,518,903.

The TSX Venture Exchange has granted an extension to April 1, 2022 to allow SBMI to physically gather all payments for its outstanding subscription agreements. This is purely a logistical issue. There will be no new subscription agreements in the Financing.

“We thank the shareholders for their continued faith in our business plan and in our ability to execute on it,” said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “The funds raised in this financing have been budgeted to put the Buckeye Mine into production, to complete our mill, and to advance the Washington Mine in Idaho in the near-term to where it can be ready for mineral extraction.”

The oversubscribed total represents 6,297,258 Units, with each Unit priced at $0.40 (forty cents). Each Unit consists of one common share and one full 60-cent (sixty cent) warrant with a 24-month term, with each such warrant being exercisable into a common share (the “Financing”). There is no acceleration clause on such warrants.

The Financing had an original minimum-maximum of $500,000 and $2,000,000 respectively. The Financing was oversubscribed by more than 25% of the original maximum.

In connection with the Financing a total of 79,130 broker warrants were issued as referral fees to registrants, with such warrants having the same characteristics as those issued in the Financing. A total of $73,352 was also paid in cash as referral fees.

The strength of the Financing enables SBMI to implement additions to its mill in Arizona to increase recoverability. The modular nature of the mill allows such additions to be made relatively quickly. Management is of the opinion that the positive results of such improvements justify a minor delay to the start of processing material from the Buckeye Mine.

SBMI also announces that Grant Thornton LLP (the “Successor Auditor”) have been appointed as the company’s new auditor effective March 22, 2022, replacing McGovern Hurley LLP, (the “Former Auditor”).

Reporting notices prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-102 (“NI 51-102”) by the Former Auditor, the Successor Auditor and the Company will be filed on SEDAR.

There are no disagreements or consultations (as those terms are defined in NI 51-102) in connection with the change of auditor nor have there been any reservations or modifications in the Former Auditor’s reports on the Company’s financial statements relating to the period during which it was auditor.

No “reportable event” as defined in NI 51-102, has occurred in connection with the audit of the most recently completed fiscal year of the Company, nor any period from the most recently completed fiscal years of the Company for which McGovern Hurley LLP issued an audit report and the date of the Notice.

The termination of McGovern Hurley LLP, and appointment of Grant Thornton LLP, as auditor of the Company were considered and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Finally, SBMI announces the resignation of Ronald Wortel from his officer position with the Company. He remains a member of the board of directors.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. to Commence Mining at its Wholly- Owned Washington Mine in Idaho

March 15, 2022 - Burlington, Ontario –Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV:SBMI) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces it has made a production decision for its Washington Mine on patented land in Idaho. Upon review of the historical records, SBMI’s 2021 and 2022 field programs, the proposed budget, the success of the financing announced February 9 of this year, the existing infrastructure and the current data including SBMI’s blended bulk sample that yielded 55.5 ounces silver per tonne, the board has decided to initiate mining at the Washington Mine.

It is the Company’s plan to widen the existing adit, make the area safe for work, proceed to the historical workings and extract mineralized material. To that end SBMI is in discussions with an experienced contract miner to commence such work as soon as reasonably possible, subject to a due diligence site visit.

This part of the Washington Mine was last mined in the 1980’s when a bulk sample was removed by the then-owner and processed by Hecla Mining. That bulk sample resulted in a grade of 44 ounces silver per tonne and 10 grams of gold per tonne. (All historical references pre-date NI43-101 and the work involved was not carried out by SBMI. SBMI does not know what processes were followed for any such work or whether the work was carried out under the supervision of a Qualified Person. Such historical references cannot be relied upon until further work is carried out.)

SBMI Press release Mar. 15, 2022.jpg

Historical Adit at the Washington Mine in Idaho

The Washington Mine overall first saw production in the late 1800's with an average gold grade of one ounce per ton. It again produced gold in the 1930's during which time the then-owner lacked the process capability needed to produce silver, so a decision was then made to block out the silver mineralization with the intention of returning at a future date to extract it. To the best of SBMI’s knowledge, the blocked-out volume remains in situ. A historical report indicates the blocked-out volume contains an estimated 3 million ounces of silver with a grade of 30 to 90 ounces per ton and 15,000 ounces of gold at 0.3 ounces per ton. (Source, “Geological Evaluation”, Roger G. Stoker, P.G. and Ryne C. Stoker, Student Geologist, Energy Services Inc., December, 1981.)

The historical records and existing infrastructure suggest SBMI should be able to in the short-term extract a bulk sample of 1,500 to 3,000 tonnes of mineralized material from that blocked-out volume. After a brief pause to assess the results of the bulk sample and to inspect more of the existing infrastructure, the Company would continue extracting material from this part of the mine and also develop a ramp to the high-grade parallel structure identified in last year’s field program. (see press release of December 15, 2021).

The Company is waiting on metallurgical testing results from Montana Technical University to enable SBMI to create an appropriate flowsheet and recovery parameters, following which the Company intends to reach terms with a third-party mill in Idaho. The resulting processed silver and other materials will be sold to local smelters at spot prices. The Company is also in discussions with two commodity brokers interested in buying the expected concentrate. There is a risk the Company will not be able to reach agreement with any of these counter-parties, including the contract miner.

In anticipation of start-up the Company has received its mine ID number and is completing the MSHA application. Other permitting is limited as the Washington Mine is on patented land.

“These are very exciting times for Silver Bullet Mines as we rapidly approach commencement of mining operations at the Buckeye Mine in Arizona and move simultaneously to mining in Idaho,” said A. John Carter, SBMI’s CEO. “Revenue generated from both mines can fund exploration programs to attack the past-producing McMorris Mine, increase production capacity at our 100%-owned modular mill, and explore the potential for a copper porphyry at our Black Diamond Property.”

The financing announced February 9, 2022 has closed two tranches totalling $1,574,075. There will be at least one more closing before March 26, 2022. This successful financing means SBMI is well funded to finance the opening of both the Buckeye and Washington Mines.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Second Tranche of Successful Financing

Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 11, 2022) - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) ('SBMI' or 'the Company') announces it today has closed on $810,075 in its previously announced financing, bringing the total raised to date to $1,574,075.

This tranche represents 2,205,188 Units, with each Unit priced at $0.40 (forty cents). Each Unit consists of one common share and one full 60-cent (sixty cent) warrant with a 24-month term, with each such warrant being exercisable into a common share (the "Financing"). There is no acceleration clause on such warrants.

This is the second tranche of Units on which SBMI has closed. The first tranche of $764,000 was announced February 18, 2022. SBMI has further subscription agreements in hand which means SBMI will close on at least one further tranche before March 26, 2022.

These proceeds from the Financing will be used to complete the process of putting the Buckeye Silver Mine into pilot production in March, 2022, to advance work at the past-producing silver and gold Washington Mine in Idaho, and for working capital.

"This financing is a success for the company and the shareholders," said A. John Carter, SBMI's CEO. "Our original minimum target was $500,000 and the investors blew that number away. The funds raised in this financing have been budgeted to be more than enough to put the Buckeye Mine into production, to complete our mill, and to advance the Washington Mine to where it can be ready for mineral extraction."

Referral fees may be paid to arm's length persons in connection with the issuance of the Units. Other than the subscription agreement, there will be no further offering material provided to Existing Security Holders or others related to Financing. The subscription agreement is available at the Company's website https://www.silverbulletmines.com/technical-corporatedocuments.
