- Assays Pending from 12 Holes Across Four Targets
- Management to attend Muskoka Capital Event, September 25-27
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 17, 2026) - ICG Silver & Gold Ltd. (CSE: ICG) (FSE: JI0) (OTC Pink: ICGSF) ("ICG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that is has completed its first 3,000-meter Phase 1 Drill Program at the Tuscarora District Project ("Tuscarora" or the "District") in Elko County, Nevada ahead of an anticipated inaugural mineral resource estimate planned for Q1 2027.
Phase 1 Drill Program assays are pending, and the Company looks forward to announcing results after interpretation, and quality-assurance in the coming weeks. The 3,000 meters of new drilling, combined with the 40,000-meter database, provides the Company with a solid foundation to guide continued exploration.
To date, drilling in each completed target area has encountered the geological horizons interpreted in the Company's 3D subsurface model.
Steven Sirbovan, President & CEO stated: "With the completion of our first phase of drilling at the Tuscarora District, combined with a robust database of previous drilling, we are well on our way to establishing a first mineral resource estimate for the District in Q1, 2027."
The Phase 1 Drill Program was designed to test and refine the Company's geological model across several priority target areas within the Tuscarora District and provide additional subsurface information to support ongoing evaluation of the Project. Silica, Kings Vein, Battle Mountain, and East Pediment are targets with historical drilling. The Kings Vein target was refined through mapping, surface rock chip and soil sampling, and CSAMT geophysical data. The Company intends to infill-drill these targets and expand on the current model.
The Company reported cash and short term investments of approximately C$3.23 million and working capital of approximately C$3.85 million as of June 30, 2026.
Drill Program Highlights
- Silica: Completed three holes totaling approximately 2,215 feet (675 meters).
- Battle Mountain: Completed three holes totaling approximately 2,650 feet (807 meters).
- Kings Vein: Completed one hole totaling approximately 840 feet (256 meters).
- East Pediment: Completed five holes totaling approximately 4,300 feet (1,311 meters).
Upcoming Conference Participation
The Company looks forward to sharing details of its completed Drill Program and progress toward key future milestones at the upcoming Muskoka Capital Event in Minett, Ontario, September 25-27. Management will meet with existing and prospective shareholders, institutional investors, family offices and members of the resource-investment community.
