Apollo Silver Corp. has announced results from its ground geological mapping and sampling program at the Calico Silver Project in San Bernardino County, California. The program identified multiple mineralized occurrences with highly anomalous silver, gold, barite, and zinc values across several key areas.
Program Highlights
Mule Property
High-grade silver values up to 1,280 grams per tonne were identified at the Mule Property within the Pickhandle Formation Volcanics. These results support the conclusion that the Pickhandle unit hosts high-grade silver and barite veins, warranting systematic follow-up.
Burcham Mine Area (Waterloo Property)
Multiple highly anomalous gold results were obtained, including assays of 4.85 g/t, 3.70 g/t, and 3.59 g/t gold. High-grade zinc values up to 30.0% were confirmed in specularite manto zones.
Waterloo and Langtry Properties
Sampling of the Lower Barstow-Pickhandle contact in the northeast portion of Waterloo returned moderate silver assays, including 149 g/t, 139 g/t, and 80.7 g/t silver. Highly elevated barite assays of up to 27.78% and 76.12% BaSO4 were observed at Langtry, and 35.68% BaSO4 at Waterloo. These results confirm anomalous barite mineralization at Langtry.
“This exploration field program has advanced our understanding of the potential for additional significant mineralization at Calico,” said Ross McElroy, President and CEO of Apollo Silver. “Encouraging gold and silver results, including high-grade silver at the Mule Property, along with elevated barite values at Langtry, reinforce our confidence in the upside prospectivity for additional discoveries at Calico.”
Next Steps
The Company continues to advance the Project through exploration and development initiatives. A Preliminary Economic Assessment study is expected to be completed in Q3 2026.
