Kermode Resources Ltd. reported the assays for the first select surface samples from the Silver Bell project. Samples were shipped to Kamloops Actlabs and tested for gold by fire assay- gravimetric finish, and multi-element Aqua Regia partial digestion. The samples were taken from one area of interest known as the JGR Showing as part of the 2023 exploration program with Aurum Vena Resources Corp.

at Silver Bell. The initial 2023 reconnaissance work program consisted of locating and sampling the JGR mineral occurrence. Very limited historical information is known about the showing, with no recent exploration.

Assays for select samples of the 2023 work program are listed above. Additional work performed included clearing the existing access to the JGR showing and collecting samples of historical dump material for crushing and concentrating. Regionally, the area has a long history of gold exploration and mining mostly for placer gold in the surrounding watersheds.

Kermode Resources is grateful for the opportunity to work with Aurum Vena on the Silver Bell project using a shares-for-services agreement. The Silver Bell project is comprised of four mineral claims coverings 538 hectares located approximately 61 km east of Vernon, BC. The property covers 3 three known mineral occurrences including the JGR showing, all hosted in rocks of the Quesnellia tectono-stratigraphic terrane and is highly prospective for gold.
