Blackrock Silver Corp. (BRC) has commenced a fully funded 10,000-metre drill program on its Tonopah West Project.

The project is located in the Walker Lane trend of Western Nevada. 

Blackrock President & CEO Andrew Pollard sat down with Folake Ekwubiri to discuss the news.

“Representing just 18 months of drilling data, baseline numbers from our maiden inferred resource estimate have established Tonopah West as one of the highest-grade undeveloped silver projects in the world, and we see significant opportunity for expansion, both within and external to the initial resource areas. With a refined model in hand, we have identified upside within the resource areas that should stand to benefit from additional drilling, targeting known, high-grade structures, in addition to infilling from successful step-out drillholes. Fully-financed for this program, drilling has commenced as we seek to grow our resource. We’ve seen remarkable return on investment via the drill bit thus far, with all-in discovery costs equating to US$0.62 per ounce AgEq. With less than two years of drilling at the project, it’s evident we’ve only just scratched the surface in realizing its true potential.”

Blackrock is a junior gold-focused exploration company focused on its Nevada portfolio of properties.

Blackrock Silver Corp. (BRC) opened trading at C$0.65 per share.
