Dolly Varden Silver Corporation announced the 2023 Exploration Plans for the Kitsault Valley Project, which includes the Dolly Varden Silver property and Homestake Ridge Gold Silver property. A total of 40,000 to 45,000m of drilling is planned to build upon last year's successes through further step outs following high grade silver and gold mineralization at the Wolf and Homestake Ridge deposits, as well as appropriately spaced exploration holes to allow the inclusion of new mineralization drilled over the past three drilling programs to be include in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate. "2022 was a breakthrough exploration season at Dolly Varden Silver's Kitsault Valley project.

It hosts one of the largest, undeveloped high grade precious metals project in Western Canada. With the wide, high-grade silver intercepts in significant step-out holes from the Wolf and Homestake Silver deposits, coupled with the highest grade gold intercepts drilled in all of the Golden Triangle in 2022 from the Homestake Main deposit, the company eagerly await the start of this season's drilling. The company is continuing its successful strategy of expanding current Resources, while also testing new exploration targets for discovery.

The company has over $26 million in the treasury, positioning its exploration team with a tremendous opportunity to create value with the drill bit. Drilling allocated to the Wolf Deposit expansion will focus on both infill drilling of the wide-spaced intercepts from 2022 to be included in an upcoming resource estimate, as well as further step out holes in both the southwest, north and east directions where high grade silver mineralization remains open. Two intercepts from the Wolf Vein drilled in 2022 at the furthest strike extents of the vein, are approximately 825 meters apart.

The deposit is wide open for expansion along strike and to depth. Wolf Vein furthest Northeast: DV22-329: 1,499 g/t Ag, 1.89% Pb, 0.46% Zn over 15.94 meters (8.77 meters estimated true width), including 23,997 g/t Ag, 1.24% Pb, 0.34% Zn over 0.35 meters (0.19m estimated true width). Wolf Vein furthest Southwest: DV22-320: 321g/t Ag, 0.84% Pb, 0.84% Zn over 12.85 meters (6.81 meters estimated true width) including 664 g/t Ag, 1.24% Pb, 3.54% Zn over 1.63 meters (0.86 meters estimated true width).
