Dolly Varden Silver Corporation announced drill results from the Wolf Vein. Drill hole DV23-375, an 81 meter step-out from mineralization encountered in 2022 and 50 meters below DV23-268 (Sept. 11, 2023 news release) that intersected a wide breccia vein zone.

In addition, initial drilling at the Moose Vein, 1.5 kilometers North of Wolf, intersected silver mineralized veining similar to the system at Wolf. Highlights from the Wolf Vein drilling include: DV23-375, Southwest Extension step-out: 461 g/t AgEq* (296g/t Ag, 1.68% Pb, 3.01% Zn) over 26.99 meters, including 2,260 g/t AgEq* (1,475g/t Ag, 10.65% Pb, 12.00% Zn) over 0.50 meter from an 81 meter step-out; DV23-379, Southwest Extension infill: 287 g/t AgEq* (247g/t Ag, 0.40% Pb, 0.73% Zn) over 18.21 meters, including 1,170g/t AgEq (1,125g/t Ag, 0.14% Pb, 1.09% Zn) over 0.50 meters. Highlights from initial drilling at the Moose Vein, located 1.5 kilometers from Wolf Vein within the 5.4 kilometer long belt of silver mineralization: DV23-371: 712 g/t Ag over 1.00 meter within a 7.55 meters length interval averaging 269 g/t Ag.

Reported intervals are drill core length; true widths vary from 50 to 85% of core length interval. The dip of the Wolf Vein at depth, and the Moose Vein have insufficient data to define accurate dip. A total of 51,454 meters was completed during 2023 in 115 drill holes at the Dolly Varden and Homestake Ridge areas with 23,923 of those from the Dolly Varden Project area.

The Contractor's drills have been demobilized and the exploration camp has been winterized. This release includes eight holes from Wolf and four holes from Moose. A total of 31 holes for 15,860 meters were drilled at Wolf in 2023.

Holes DV23-375 is an 81m step-out down plunge from drill hole DV22-320, that intersected 321g/t Ag over 12.85 meters and 50 meters below DV23-268 that intersected 381 g/t Ag over 29.34 meters. Wolf Vein mineralization has consistent, high-grade silver mineralization within a wide multi phase vein breccia within a northeast-southwest oriented epithermal vein system. The mineralization and alteration encountered at the Wolf Vein system is becoming wider in the southwest step-outs and the dip of the system is steepening at depth.

Drill hole DV23-379 intersected silver mineralization 25 meters above DV22-320 and was planned infill between DV22-320 and DV23-368; this hole did not deviate as much as other holes typically do and thus intersected the Wolf Vein closer to DV23-320 than planned. Initial holes at Wolf during the 2023 drill program tested between the widely spaced holes completed the previous season and successfully intersected the vein structure both within and peripheral to the southwest plunge of the high-grade silver mineralization. Drilling at Wolf during the 2023 program consisted of infill and testing for extensions to the high-grade silver mineralization.

Drill holes DV23-366, 367 and 370 are located on the northeast extension of the Wolf structure and encountered strong potassic alteration and narrow vein stockwork with anomalous lead and zinc associated with the extension of the Wolf structure. Drill holes DV23-364 and 366 tested the limits outside of the wider and higher-grade silver shoot and encountered the Wolf structure with minor veining and strong alteration.
