TORONTO, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Highlander Silver Corp. (TSX, NYSE American: HSLV) has announced results from a comprehensive geophysical study of the Corani Silver Project. The study integrated historical datasets with a new airborne magnetic survey and expanded induced polarization-resistivity surveys. The findings reveal a geophysical signature far more extensive than historical drilling coverage, with extensions and untested potential zones concealed beneath shallow post-mineral cover to the west and south.
Survey Details and Key Findings
The induced polarization-resistivity and airborne magnetic surveys covered over 90 line-kilometers and 600 line-kilometers, respectively. By integrating these data with lithology, alteration, and resource models, along with mapping and core logging, the company defined geophysical signatures of the Corani mineral system. Magnetic lineament analysis highlighted a network of north-south and northwest-trending structures interpreted as first-order controls on mineralization.
Several high-priority exploration targets were identified, exhibiting combined geological, structural, and geophysical characteristics analogous to the Corani deposit.
High-Priority Targets Identified
Corani West is a newly generated target with a large coincident zone of chargeability, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility consistent with the Corani deposit. It lies concealed under shallow post-mineral cover along a major northwest-trending structure. Corani East Extension represents the interpreted continuation of the higher-grade Corani East zone south of an eroded block. Historical drilling at the north end of the anomaly partially tested the target, including 42 meters at 47.9 g/t silver from 4 meters (DDH-C119A).
Corani South is a zone of widespread alteration, veining, silicification, and hydrothermal brecciation at the intersection of major north-south and northwest trending structures. Significant historical drilling returned robust gold-silver mineralization, including 14 meters at 11.7 g/t gold and 48.9 g/t silver from 32 meters (DDH-C52).
CEO Commentary and Company Outlook
Daniel Earle, President and CEO of Highlander Silver, commented: “Highlander Silver has been busy across its portfolio since closing the Bear Creek acquisition in late February. We’re delighted to begin reporting results from Corani that provide an indication of the potential scale of the opportunity we see. Also, we look forward to reporting our first drill results in July. Finally, with strong cash generation and improving performance at our Mercedes operation offsetting spending, the Company has maintained an unaudited cash balance of approximately US$100 million and no debt.”
The results support the interpretation that Corani represents a large-scale intermediate sulphidation epithermal system extending well beyond the current resource footprint.
