Honey Badger Silver Expands Plata Project by 18% to Strengthen Gold Exploration Targets

Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF) has expanded its 100%-owned Plata project by staking an additional 1,546 hectares, increasing the total claim package by 18%. This strategic expansion followed promising field observations and a comprehensive review of historical data that highlighted significant gold anomalies along the Plata Thrust. The geological data revealed grab samples returning high-grade gold values over a 900-meter strike length, with mineralization remaining open in both directions along the thrust structure.

The expansion decision was driven by the identification of a large, underexplored gold-in-soil anomaly that suggests substantial mineralization potential beyond the currently defined areas. The company now plans systematic exploration programs targeting both the Plata Thrust and the parallel Rogue thrust structure for their gold potential. This expansion positions Honey Badger Silver to capitalize on the significant gold mineralization indicators that have been historically documented but remain largely untested through modern exploration techniques.

The Plata project's location is strategically significant, situated 165 kilometers east of Yukon's prolific Keno Hill mining district and adjacent to Snowline Gold's Rogue discovery. This expansion strengthens the company's position in a region known for high-grade mineralization and recent significant discoveries. The additional claims provide Honey Badger Silver with control over a more comprehensive geological package that includes both the main thrust structures and associated mineralization controls.

The company's technical team, which includes experienced geologists with backgrounds in Yukon geology, will focus on systematic soil sampling, geological mapping, and trenching programs to better define the gold targets. The historical data review indicated that the gold mineralization is associated with quartz veining and alteration systems typical of intrusion-related gold systems in the region. This geological setting has proven highly productive in adjacent properties, suggesting similar potential within the expanded Plata project area.

The expanded land position provides Honey Badger Silver with additional exploration upside in a region that has seen renewed interest and investment in gold exploration following recent discoveries. The company's methodical approach to target generation and systematic exploration planning positions it to efficiently test the highest priority gold targets within the expanded claim package.
