ICG SILVER & GOLD ANNOUNCES RECEIPT OF ALL PERMITS TO COMMENCE PHASE 1 DRILL PROGRAM AT THE TUSCARORA DISTRICT
ICG Silver & Gold Ltd. has received all required permits to commence its planned phase 1 drill program.
Receipt of the permits marks a key milestone for ICG as the company advances toward the launch of its 3,000-metre phase 1 drill program. The permitted work will allow ICG to conduct initial exploration drilling across multiple priority target areas identified through recent district-scale geological modelling, historical data review and field-based evaluation, see press releases dated May 28, 2026, and June 9, 2026.
"This is an important step forward for ICG and the Tuscarora district," stated Korbon McCall, vice-president of exploration. "With permits now in hand, our team is positioned to begin executing the first modern, systematic drill program under ICG's leadership. The phase 1 drill program is designed to test several silver-gold targets within the Central and East zones while continuing to build a broader district-scale exploration model."
The phase 1 drill program will focus on multiple high-priority targets, including East Pediment, Grand Prize, Kings Vein, Modoc, South Navajo and Battle Mountain. These targets were selected based on the company's ongoing integration of historical drilling, surface sampling, geological mapping, geophysics and structural interpretation.
The company's near-term field activities will include drill pad and access preparation, final contractor mobilization, water logistics, and commencement of drilling. ICG has already announced the engagement of Major Drilling as drilling contractors (see June 3, 2026, press release).
The permitted phase 1 drill program is designed to evaluate shallow oxide opportunities and advance ICG's broader objective of unlocking the exploration potential of the Tuscarora district and includes 25 pads to allow for flexibility when it comes to targeting. The company believes the district remains underexplored by modern standards, particularly across target areas where historical work identified mineralization, but where limited systematic follow-up has been completed.
