Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Advancing exploration at the flagship Rainbow Block project in Butte, Montana. This includes executing a 25,000-foot surface drilling program under Amendment 1, rehabilitating the existing Chief Joseph portal and decline, and developing the new Rainbow Decline (approximately 6,000 feet of underground workings) under the newly approved Amendment 2.
Expected impact: To upgrade the current inferred mineral resource (estimated at 11.48 million tons containing 170 million silver equivalent ounces) to higher confidence categories and gather critical engineering, geological, and metallurgical data for a future feasibility study.
Consolidating and advancing permitting for surface drilling across the company's broader land package in the Butte Mining District, which totals approximately 4,193 acres of patented mineral claims across six claim blocks (including Goldsmith, Great Republic, Marget Ann, Travona, and Emma blocks).
Expected impact: To evaluate additional Critical Minerals, assess the district-scale potential of the claim block portfolio, and identify new targets outside the flagship Rainbow Block.
