HERCULES Silver vs. BAYHORSE Silver,
... welche dieser beiden Companies wird besser performen ?
Mit einigen stratohistorischen und geophysischen Gemeinsamkeiten der beiden Mining-Areas Hercules in Idaho wie auch Bayhorse in Oregon hatte sich ja schon Prof. D. C. Livingston in seiner in denen frühen 1920er Jahren geschriebenen "Geologic Reconnaissance" ausführlich beschäftigt. Die Original-Veröffentlichung ist dann aber über die Jahre durch so viele Hände von Mining-Interessierten gegangen, dass sie sich heutigen Tages nun leider nicht mehr in einem photographisch reproduzierbaren Zustand befindet, weshalb das bedeutende Schriftstück zunächst "retyped" werden musste - und dann 1986 durch das Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology als Pamphlet 13 erneut herausgebracht worden ist:
Livingston's "Geologic Reconnaissance", 1986 neu aufgelegt ...
Und nachdem sich dann jüngst der massive Einstieg der Barrick Gold Corporation [ISIN: CA0679011084; WKN: 870450; Cana-Kürzel: ABX; U$-Symbol: GOLD] bei der Hercules Silver Corp. [ISIN: CA42710L1067; WKN: A3DSXU; Cana-Kürzel: BIG; U$-Symbol: BADEF] schon etwas herumgesprochen hatte, hat es ja nicht ausbleiben können, dass auch die altbekannte Gemeinsamkeit mit der Bayhorse Silver Inc. [ISIN: CA07278W1095; WKN: A1XA1U; Cana-Kürzel: BHS; U$-Symbol: BHSIF] erneut in den Blick kommt, zumal die in Payette (also in Idaho !) gelegene Mill Facility der Bayhorse Silver Inc. zuletzt deutlich geupgraded wurde, so dass sich eine gemeinsame Nutzung durch beide Companies anbieten könnte ...
Bayhorse Silver Inc. erhält zwei Silber-Explorationsziele aus zusätzlicher magnetischer Vermessungsanalyse auf seinen Bayhorse-Grundstücken
Am 15. April 2024 um 20:02 Uhr
"Bayhorse Silver Inc. hat von Geotech die Interpretationen der magnetischen Strukturen und die Analyse der strukturellen Komplexität der jüngsten Vermessung des geophysikalischen Projektgebiets Bayhorse Idaho/Oregon erhalten. Das Gebiet befindet sich in den Teilen Huntington, Oregon und Weiser in Idaho. Dieser zusammenfassende Bericht beschreibt die Ergebnisse der geophysikalischen Interpretationen und die Ergebnisse der magnetischen Modellierung." - Und so weiter ...

... verkündet, wohl aber schon Bayhorse, dass nämlich die von Barrick Gold, die sich an der Hercules Silver Corp. ja auch schon aktienmäßig beteiligt haben, im gemeinsamen Wirkungs-Bereich von Bayhorse und Hercules Silver und Barrick Gold jetzt offenkundig auch eigene CLAIMS am Abstecken sind:
"The Bayhorse Pegasus Project lies one half mile east of the Bayhorse Silver Mine in Oregon and comprises 123 claims of approximately four square miles in Sections 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 28 and 29 of T13N R7W, in Washington County, Idaho. The Bayhorse Silver Mine and the Pegasus Project are 44 km southwest of Hercules Silver’s porphyry copper discovery.
Both areas have similar geological settings with silver mineralization, including significant copper, antimony, and zinc credits. A review of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) files shows Barrick Gold Exploration has staked ground in Section 14 of the same Township, as close as one mile east of the Bayhorse Pegasus Idaho claims."

Bayhorse Silver Inc, (BHS: TSX-V, BHSIF: OTCQB, 7KXN: FRANKFURT) (the “Company” or “Bayhorse”) reports that it has received approval for its up to 10,000 ft (3048 m) diamond drill program on the recently completed VTEM survey area that shows a large low resistivity anomaly that may represent an intrusive mass at its Pegasus Project in Idaho, one mile east of its Bayhorse Silver Mine, Oregon, USA. - [...] - The low resistivity anomaly extends over a mile (1.6 km) from the NNW to the SSE and is believed to extend past the VTEM survey area to the south of the 4 sq/mile (1036 ha) Pegasus claim group.
Bayhorse CEO, Graeme O’Neill, comments “early drill permitting is necessary to avoid delays during the favorable summer drilling season, and our technical team has done wonders in getting the permitting completed so quickly.”
... schon vom 20/23-JUN-2024:
Bayhorse Silver Inc, (BHS: TSX-V, BHSIF: OTCQB, 7KXN: FRANKFURT) (the “Company” or “Bayhorse”) reports that the installation of three groundwater test wells is underway at its Bayhorse Silver Mine, Oregon, USA to complete the final part of its baseline studies required for the Company’s full Mine Operating Permit.
The three test wells, two of 150 foot depth, and one of 750 foot depth, are to determine whether any groundwater is present around the Bayhorse Silver Mine that may be affected by planned mining operations. The wells are expected to be drilled and completed by the end of the first week of July.
The test wells are being installed under the direction and supervision of HDR Engineering, of Boise, Idaho, through a ground water test plan approved by Oregon’s Department of Geological and Mineral Industries (“Dogami”).
Bayhorse CEO, Graeme O’Neill, comments “It has taken a year from the initial planning stage, to approval of the ground water test well drilling program. Now that it is underway, we are in the final stages of our full Mine Operating Permit application to get back to mining operations.”
The Bayhorse drilling programt is the first drilling conducted outside the reported Current 6.3 Million Ounce NI-43-101 Inferred Silver Resource area, targeting a calculated intercept of the large low-resistivity anomaly that the Company believes to be a potential porphyry copper, which begins approximately 498 ft (151 m) below the Bayhorse Silver Mine main haulage way workings and ends approximately 1,020 ft (309 m) for a minimum 522 ft (158 m) vertical extent.
The Bayhorse Silver Mine, that also has copper/gold/antimony and zinc mineralization lies in close proximity (6 km) to the historic Gleason Gold Mine, where free milling gold was mined up until the mid 1920's and where Bayhorse sampled 139.96 g/t (4.5 o/t) gold in 2022, and the historic Connor Creek gold mine lies 9 km to the north. Connor Creek is 7 km west of the Hercules Metals ("Hercules") historic Mineral Project silver property that lies 11 km north of the Bayhorse Mine. (Fig. 1)
The Bayhorse exploration model holds that the silver/copper rich mineralized rhyolite at the Bayhorse Silver Mine could have its source in underlying shallow granites that may be conductive porphyry copper bodies as reflected by the low-resistivity anomalies. The highest silver/copper grade identified at the Bayhorse Silver Mine is 15% Silver, 17% Copper (BHS2014-01) while gold values up to 10 g/t have been reported from historical mining (Silver King Mines 1984).
Bayhorse geologists (Conway, 2024) believe that a regional magmatic episode took place on the order of 180 million years ago which mineralized structures from Hercules Mt. Cuddy project to the northeast and on down to the Company's Pegasus project in Idaho and beneath the Bayhorse mine itself. VTEM surveys, mapping and drilling are providing evidence of this episode.

Hercules recently disclosed significant copper intercepts at its Mt Cuddy porphyry copper project, 44 km north of the Bayhorse Silver Mine/Pegasus Project. The Company was very interested in the recent Hercules townhall largely featuring Barrick Gold Exploration ("Barrick"). Barrick stated that while it was a partner of Hercules's, it was also a competitor. Barrick has staked a large position from Hercules Mt. Cuddy Project all the way up the Snake River, through Mineral and butting up to Bayhorse's Pegasus project in Idaho.
Bayhorse Silver CEO, Graeme O'Neill, notes that permitting is in its final stages at the Bayhorse Mine, that has some minor gold credits along with the reported 6.2 million ounce at 21.6 ounce per ton inferred silver resource, (Apex, 2018). The rapid appreciation of the gold price, from US$2,000's at the beginning of 2024, to the currently now over US$2,700 per ounce, and the US$ silver price closing recently at US$33.62 per ounce is positive for the Company's future mining prospects.
On October 2, 2024, the Company announced, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, a 16 million Unit non-brokered private placement at C$0.04 cents per Unit for gross proceeds of C$640,000. Bayhorse CEO, Graeme O'Neill, has sold 7.25 million common shares through arranged sales, and through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange, the proceeds of which will be used to subscribe for an equivalent amount of 7.25 million Units in the Placement.
Each Unit will consist of one common share, and one transferable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will be exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of C$0.08 cents per common share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.
The funds received are to conduct the planned underground drilling program (70%) at the Bayhorse Silver Mine to test for the presence of a porphyry copper deposit, as announced in the Company's news release BHS2024-19, to further advance the mine permitting (10%) and general and administrative expenses (20%). None of the private placement proceeds will be paid to non-arm's length parties or persons conducting investor relations activities. In addition to any other exemption available to the Company, participation in the non-brokered financing is also open to all existing shareholders, even if not accredited investors, under the "existing shareholder" exemption of National Instrument 45-106 as promulgated in Multilateral CSA notice 45-313 in participating jurisdictions.

Hercules Intersects Shallow Porphyry Mineralization and New Hydrothermal Breccia
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 4, 2024) - Hercules Metals Corp. (TSXV: BIG) (OTCQB: BADEF) (FSE: C0X) ("Hercules Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on recent drilling as further assay results remain pending at the Leviathan porphyry copper system in western Idaho ("Hercules" or the "Property"). RC drilling has advanced rapidly with three holes completed and a fourth in progress, including HER-24-17 being completed to 975m. Three new holes stepped to the southeast, HER-24-19 through -21, all intersected early biotite alteration with mineralization beginning progressively closer to surface, starting as early as 72m true depth in hole 24-20. The depth to mineralization continues to shallow toward a large untested copper anomaly at surface to the east.
Highlights
Mineralization begins at 72m depth in HER-24-20 and remains open toward a large surface anomaly.
Mineralized early biotite alteration intersected in 3 new holes to the southeast - and potentially plunging under HER-23-14, previously thought to be the edge of the system.
A separate zone of early biotite was also encountered at depth in holes HER-24-08 and HER-24-12, which may be related to a separate intrusive center to the north.
New magmatic-hydrothermal breccia pipe discovered by HER-24-20 represents a new target type, with vertically extensive potential.
Mineralized envelope continues to expand - remains open in multiple directions.
RC drilling continues to provide additional value, testing new targets rapidly, both pre-collar and otherwise.

Geological Summary
Drill holes HER-24-19 through -21 begin in shallow phyllic alteration associated with the enrichment blanket and transition with depth into varying degrees of biotite alteration consistent with an outer potassic shell. These new holes have significantly expanded the zone of early biotite alteration which shows increasing strength toward the south.
Of note is a separate zone of early biotite encountered at depth in holes HER-24-08 and HER-24-12 which have the potential to be related to a yet undiscovered intrusive center to the north.
HER-24-05 encountered a plug of late porphyry associated with a chargeability low, however high chargeability continues further south of Camp Creek and remains to be tested. Core drilling failed to reach the unconformity at this southern target but depending on weather conditions, Legacy Drilling may be able to test for further extensions of the system in this direction.
Legacy was able to complete HER-24-17 to the maximum working depth capacity of the RC rig at 975 m in very challenging ground conditions. The alteration encountered will be interpreted once geochemical and spectral results have been received and processed on the fine chips.
HER-24-19 and -21 both intersected enrichment blanket followed by intermediate sulfidation pyrite-chalcopyrite which remains open down plunge to the southeast. HER-23-14 was drilled at a shallow angle to the southeast in 2023, which is now interpreted to be subparallel with the plunge of the system. This may explain why the hole remained in the same distal alteration it started in, throughout its length. Future drilling will test underneath 23-14 by drilling northwest, against the plunge of the system.
Prior to entering the enrichment blanket, HER-24-20 intersected a compelling new magmatic hydrothermal breccia from 76m to 157m downhole, representing the first of its kind to be intercepted at Hercules. The breccia consists of strongly veined clasts of porphyry and wall rock within a fine chloritic matrix that becomes progressively more intrusive in nature near its footwall contact. Intermediate sulfidation pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization occurs in the latter half of the intercept, within the matrix as well as clasts, and appears to increase in intensity downwards. The hole currently remains in progress in early biotite alteration.
