Silverton Metals Corp. announced the commencement of its 2022 exploration program on its 100% owned Peny Property located in the Snow Lake District, Manitoba. 2022 Exploration Program and Budget: The 2022 exploration program, operated by Longford Exploration Services, will include completing an initial property evaluation, reconnaissance prospecting and geochemical sampling at the 3400 Ha Peny Property.

Additionally, high value remote sensing data sets are to be acquired, including, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Hyperspectral data sets to aid in targeting lithium bearing pegmatites. A preliminary field exploration program is to be commenced to confirm potential mineralization and the favourability of the geological environment to host lithium bearing pegmatites. Initial prospecting will be undertaken as well as selective surface geochemical sampling and overall evaluation of the property.

An initial lithogeochemical survey is to be completed over the eastern parts of the property in proximity to the Crowduck Bay fault trend over favourable host rocks which host pegmatite occurrences else where along the trend. A remote sensing satellite data acquisition and processing study has been commissioned to provide analysis of synthetic aperture radar data and multispectral Sentinel & Aster data over 34 km2 covering the property and surrounding areas. By combining modern remote sensing techniques using multispectral imaging and synthetic aperture radar to analyze topography, structure, alteration, vegetation and ground movement, complex anomalies covering large areas can be quickly and effectively identified.

This is a multivariate exploration approach, combining existing geological, geochemical, and geophysical data with multiple satellite analyses, to identify new potential mineral targets. The approved budget for the 2022 field exploration program, to be carried out from in October and November 2022, is CAD 173,500.
