Blende Silver Engages Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience to Advance District-Scale Interpretation and Targeting Following Promising 3D IP Survey Results at Flagship Yukon Project

Blende Silver Corp. (TSX.V: BAG) (OTC: BAGGF) has engaged Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience Inc. (RMG) to conduct an integrated geological, geochemical, and geophysical interpretation and targeting program at its 100%-owned Blende Silver-Zinc-Lead Project in north-central Yukon. The decision follows promising initial results from a 3D induced polarization (IP) survey that revealed multiple large untested chargeability anomalies, suggesting the potential for significant expansion of the mineralized system.

The 3D IP survey was designed to calibrate the geophysical signature over the known West Zone mineralization—the anchor of the existing mineral resource—and to test for extensions and new targets across the property, including the approximately 2 km Central Zone gap between the West Zone and East Zone deposits. Initial data inversion showed a strong correlation between IP chargeability response over the West Zone and known silver-zinc-lead mineralization, providing a reliable calibration benchmark.

More importantly, the survey identified multiple significantly larger-scale untested chargeability anomalies, notably in the Lower Central Zone and New Mountain Top areas. These anomalies appear to be several times larger than the chargeability response associated with the defined West Zone mineralization. Both anomalies extend to the edges of the surveyed grid, suggesting potential for greater extent beyond current coverage. Historical drilling in the Central Zone appears to have been positioned between two distinct chargeability anomalies, rather than directly testing the strongest responses.

“Blende already hosts the largest carbonate-hosted silver-zinc-lead deposit in the Yukon with a substantial existing mineral resource,” said Andrew H. Rees, President and CEO. “The 3D IP survey appears to have delivered a clear calibration at the West Zone while revealing multiple untested chargeability anomalies that are notably larger in scale than the West Zone response. This is a significant development that warrants expert interpretation.”

RMG will compile and integrate the Company’s historical geological, geochemical, and drilling data with the new 3D IP results. The program includes geophysical quality control, integrated 3D interpretation, and identification of high-priority targets. Deliverables will include a 3D data workspace, technical report, and presentation, expected within approximately eight weeks.

The Blende Project hosts the largest carbonate-hosted silver-zinc-lead deposit in the Yukon. A 2021 mineral resource estimate (prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 at a 1.5% ZnEq cutoff) outlines a substantial silver-zinc-lead system with Indicated resources of 1.27 million tonnes grading 3.18% Zn, 2.03% Pb, and 147.4 g/t Ag, and Inferred resources of 5.71 million tonnes grading 4.38% Zn, 2.35% Pb, and 156.5 g/t Ag. The property covers 5,345 hectares and is located approximately 63 km northeast of Keno Hill, Yukon, within the historic Keno Hill silver district.

With permitting progress advancing and high-quality 3D geophysical data in hand, the Company is well positioned to advance systematic exploration. The integrated interpretation from RMG will guide future programs, including the potential to update the mineral resource estimate to reflect current commodity prices and new exploration results.
