Advances Metallurgy in Idaho and Breaks into Target Zone in ArizonaBurlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 14, 2022) - Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) ('SBMI' or 'the Company') announces significant achievements related to the Washington Mine in Idaho and the Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona.In Idaho, the Company has engaged the Center for Advanced Materials Processing (\"CAMP\") of Montana Technical University, part of Montana University, to provide it with mineralogy, gravity, and flotation testwork. In Arizona, the field team has broken into what it believes to be the higher-grade mineralized zone, which appears to be located exactly where predicted by the historical records and SBMI's own work.Idaho and CAMPSBMI purchased the past-producing Washington Mine on patented lands in Idaho in December, 2020. As reported on January 18, 2022, assay results from a blended bulk sample at the Washington Mine site averaged 55.5 ounces of silver per tonne. Values reported in that press release ran as high as 180 ounces silver per tonne and 18 grams of gold per tonne. Historical records and SBMI's field work lead management to believe the Washington Mine is capable of near-term revenue generation.As said by Mr. A. John Carter, SBMI's CEO, \"We knew from historical records the Washington Mine was going to be good. We didn't know it would be this good. We have to invest into the property to get it ready for mining.\"To advance its knowledge of the Washington Mine, SBMI has entered into an agreement with CAMP. Established in 1989, CAMP is a Montana University System designated Center of Excellence in Research and Education, located on the campus of Montana Technological University. CAMP's activities involve three components, namely, an analytical testing laboratory, a materials testing laboratory, and research program management. Included in the services CAMP will provide to SBMI are the following:Automated Mineralogy by SEM and EDS utilizing TESCAN's Integrated Mineral Analysis (TIMA) software include model mineralogy liberation and associations up to 5 size fractions;XRD: Mineralogy by X-Ray Diffraction;Sample prep to 95% passing ¼ inch and rotary split;Grind determinations to establish a grind curve;Falcon evaluation and Table evaluations; andFlotation evaluations, fire assay, acid digestion and ...
