Coeur Mining (CDE) said Wednesday that the initial results of its 2024 exploration program at its Silvertip project in northern British Columbia showed that it doubled the strike length of the Southern Silver Zone mineralization.

Fieldwork also identified three high-priority targets that showed similarities to Silvertip, a polymetallic critical minerals exploration project wholly owned by Coeur Mining, the company said.

The identification of other structures similar to Silvertip that can potentially host big ore bodies was one of the priorities of the 48-hole program, Coeur Mining said.
