Prince Silver Corp. (PRNC:CSE; PRNCF: OTCQX; T130:FSE) reported that more than 10,000 meters of drilling had been completed at its Prince Silver Project in Nevada as the company continued drilling, historical data validation, metallurgical studies, and geological modeling toward a maiden NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate targeted for early 2027.
The company was drilling hole PRC-63, the 38th hole drilled by the company since it began its own exploration program at the project last year. Prince Silver said the program had continued to intersect silver-gold-manganese-lead-zinc mineralization across multiple horizons, while deeper drilling had highlighted a gold-silver-rich sulphide component.
Prince Silver was also integrating its modern drilling results with a historical drilling database. Historical holes PRC-10 through PRC-25 had returned broad mineralized intervals, including higher-grade silver and gold zones. The company said its subsequent drilling had encountered mineralization within many of the same stratigraphic horizons while extending the system laterally and at depth.
Selected historical results included 53.34 meters grading 0.37 g/t gold, 97.82 g/t silver, 8.45% manganese, 2.13% lead, and 2.81% zinc in PRC-11. Another interval in the same hole returned 25.91 meters grading 0.72 g/t gold, 104.29 g/t silver, 9.66% manganese, 2.53% lead, and 1.84% zinc. Historical hole PRC-24 returned 24.38 meters grading 0.29 g/t gold, 123.38 g/t silver, 9.26% manganese, 1.04% lead, and 1.29% zinc.
Among the previously reported current drilling results, PRC-28 returned 3.05 meters grading 1,511.00 g/t silver, 14.17% manganese, 0.17 g/t gold, 2.19% lead, and 4.45% zinc, according to the company's August 27 update. PRC-45 returned 27.43 meters grading 93.67 g/t silver, 11.98% manganese, 0.12 g/t gold, 2.29% lead, and 2.48% zinc. Prince Silver's August 27 update also highlighted PRC-37, citing 6.10 meters grading 280.75 g/t silver, 0.68 g/t gold, 13.38% manganese, 2.35% lead, and 2.96% zinc.
Reported intervals were downhole lengths. Apparent widths were considered close to true widths where holes were drilled approximately perpendicular to gently dipping mineralized beds, although true widths had not been definitively established. Historical drilling results remained historical in nature and were being evaluated by the company.
Prince Silver had also completed drilling selected twin holes adjacent to historical drill collars, with results pending. The holes were designed to allow direct comparisons of historical and modern drilling results, including geology and the position, width, and grade of mineralized intervals.
"Both the historical drilling results and our recent work reinforce a strong and consistent geological narrative," Chief Executive Officer Derek Iwanaka stated in the news release. "The historical drilling established that Prince hosts a broad polymetallic mineralized system, while our modern drilling is adding density, confirming continuity and expanding our understanding of that system."
Earlier in 2026, Prince Silver more than doubled its land position at the project, completed an upsized CA$4.75 million financing, and graduated to the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol PRNCF.
Silver Market Holds Near Two-Month Highs Amid Sixth Year of Supply Deficits
According to an August 27 analysis by BeInCrypto's Jakub Dziadkowiec, silver was trading near US$69.38 after twice failing to move above US$70. The report said the metal had gained roughly 18% over the previous month and 78% over the previous year as the U.S. dollar had fallen to three-month lows following Treasury bond buyback plans.
The report also pointed to conditions in the physical silver market, stating, "Physical demand offers a floor." It said the silver market was heading for a sixth consecutive annual deficit and that COMEX inventories had fallen below 100 million ounces. Dziadkowiec also reported that silver had built higher lows since July 17 and had broken out of its descending channel, although momentum had been cooling.
TradingKey reported on August 28 that silver priced in Australian dollars had risen 2.25% to AU$98.314. The publication attributed the move primarily to institutional capital inflows into precious metals, monetary debasement concerns, and supply-demand imbalances in the physical silver market.
From a supply perspective, TradingKey said, "The market faces a sixth consecutive year of global supply deficits." The report attributed constrained primary mine production to declining ore grades and the fact that much of global silver production was recovered as a byproduct of base metal extraction, which it said limited the immediate supply response to higher prices.
On the demand side, TradingKey reported robust industrial fabrication across photovoltaics, power grid electrification, electric vehicles, and computing infrastructure. It described silver's dual character as "both a monetary hedge and a critical industrial input." The report also identified potential pressures on consumption, including efforts by photovoltaic manufacturers to reduce silver intensity per solar cell through advanced printing techniques and alternative base-metal pastes.
Trading Economics reported on August 28 that silver had climbed above US$70 per ounce to a more than two-month high. At the time of the supplied data, silver stood at US$70.434 per ounce, up 1.70% for the day, 22.43% for the month, and 77.64% over the year.
According to Trading Economics, "Silver is a widely traded precious metal with both industrial and investment applications." The source said silver had been used extensively in electronics, solar panels, and medical technologies while also serving as a store of value and portfolio diversification tool. It said silver prices had therefore been influenced by both industrial demand and investor sentiment.
Trading Economics also reported that precious metals had continued to benefit from what it called the "debasement trade," as expanded U.S. Treasury debt buybacks had heightened concerns over the risk of a U.S. debt crisis and further dollar weakness.
Expert Sees September Rebound Potential
In an August 25 edition of his "What is Chen Buying? What is Chen Selling?" newsletter, Chen Lin said he had been adding shares of Prince Silver Corp. as one of several junior mining stocks that had been "beaten down" while awaiting drilling results.
"Other juniors that I have been adding are those beaten down but have significant drilling results coming, trading at below last financing price," Lin wrote. "I have been picking up PRNC.cn (Prince Silver)," for example.
Lin added, "I am hoping they will have good results and a big rebound in September."
Drilling, Validation, and Resource Work Continue Through Fall
Prince Silver anticipates additional assay results through the fall from ongoing and completed drilling. The company said it would continue step-out, infill, and depth testing, evaluation of the completed twin-hole results, metallurgical studies, and geological modeling.
The July 2026 presentation described the drilling program as including infill, step-out, and depth testing to expand the mineralized footprint, with additional assay results anticipated through the fall as drilling continues.
The presentation showed that metallurgical test work had been ongoing since late 2025, with multi-stage testing underway. It also identified the combination of new and historical drill data for an NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate as one of the project's 2026 work streams.
Evaluation of the recently completed twin-hole validation program is also expected to continue. Results are pending and will be reviewed by Prince Silver's technical team and independent resource consultants as part of their assessment of the historical drilling database. Further evaluation and validation of that database are among the milestones identified by the company as it works toward its maiden mineral resource estimate, now targeted for early 2027.
The company's expanded land position provided another area for subsequent work. According to the July presentation, Prince Silver had staked approximately 656 new acres, more than doubling the Prince Project land package. The new claims were located along the Great Western Fault corridor, and the expanded position covered more than 7 kilometers of prospective strike length along the mineralized fault system. The presentation said the additional ground supported future drill targets, infrastructure site planning, and advancement toward an initial mineral resource estimate.
Prince Silver also intends to increase its investor outreach during the fall. Iwanaka is scheduled to present at the Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver on Sept. 18 at 4:10 p.m. as part of Chen Lin's panel, with the conference running Sept. 18-19. The company also plans to attend the New Orleans Investment Conference from Oct. 28-31 and the Gold Advisor Summit on Nov. 5.
"The next several months are about converting the drilling progress we have made into an increasingly robust geological and resource story," Iwanaka stated. "We have additional drill results coming, twin-hole work just completed with assays pending, metallurgical studies progressing, and a growing modern dataset."
