[{"type":"text","content":"Silver Valley Metals Announces Commencement of Ground Geophysical Survey on Entire Ranger-Page ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 11, 2021) - Silver Valley Metals Corp. (TSXV: SILV) (FSE: L3U) (OTC Pink: BNRJF) (\"Silver Valley Metals\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a ground geophysical survey on the entire Ranger-Page Project (the \"Project\") in the Silver Valley, Idaho. The survey will be a first for the Project. It is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company is currently finalizing its 3D digital geological model sourced from a comprehensive underground workings database which will be utilized alongside the geophysical survey to identify drill targets for the Company's maiden diamond drill program anticipated to start towards the end of 2021.The survey will be conducted by Gradient Geophysics (\"Gradient\") from Missoula, Montana and will be comprised of two phases. The first phase is a continuous reading magnetometer survey in conjunction with a VLF-EM survey (readings every 10 meters) at 120 meter line spacing. The second phase will be a high-resolution induced polarization (\"IP\") survey oriented north-south at the same line spacing of 120 meters. The IP data is planned to detail the east-west vein systems and will be presented in 3D color contour plots. Furthermore, a high-resolution surface lidar and imagery collection over the entirety of the survey area is underway and anticipated to be completed prior to geophysical data collection.Silver Valley Metals President & CEO and Director, Brandon Rook commented \"We are excited to commence the geophysical survey at the Company's flagship Ranger-Page Project, as part of the exploration and development program for the 2021 season. Gradient's high resolution magnetometer system coupled with detailed IP in 3D imaging is a proven exploration tool and will help us delineate and increase our confidence on several promising targets. Gradient's previous experience in the Silver Valley and understanding of the area's geology bodes well for Silver Valley Metals in the lead up to drill target definition. Combined with surface geochemistry, bedrock and alteration mapping, underground 3D geological modelling and ground-based geophysics, we expect that targets developed using the detailed geoph...
