A recent compilation of its silver rich occurrences along with some insight gained from its recent acquisition the Big Silver Project in Eastern Maine, suggests that there was a regional epithermal silver-gold event that extends between Maine and New Brunswick that could have formed the large scale, breccia-type silver-rich deposits that Wolfden is targeting.\"Our efforts this year in both New Brunswick and Maine will focus on the discovery and extension of the known silver-rich showings and previously identified zones.\" said Don Dudek, Vice-President Exploration of the Company. \"The New Brunswick compilation indicated that the silver-gold system has the potential to extend off of our concessions onto open ground and is the reason why we doubled our land position. The first phase of the program, now underway, includes line cutting, mapping, soil sampling and prospecting followed by IP geophysical surveys, trenching and likely lead to 3,000 metres of diamond drilling.\"Similar work is planned in Maine on the Big Silver Project once the timing of line cutting and geophysical survey crews can be confirmed. Drilling at Big Silver will depend on the availability of a second drill rig and crew or remobilizing the drill currently operating at Pickett Mt. Once the Canadian-USA border has reopened, the specialized equipment and crews that are required at this stage, will be able to move more efficiently.Figure 1 - Bathurst West area, Wolfden concessions, regional geology and silver zones The Bathurst Mining Camp hosts many significant deposits including Brunswick No. 12, one of the world's premier polymetallic (high silver) deposits with a total reserve of 136.6 million tonnes at a grade of 0.37% Cu, 3.44% Pb, 8.74% Zn and 102.2 g/t Ag3. attesting to the jurisdictions world-class endowment and mineral potential.
