The bull market for silver is back, and investors are scouring the exploration sector for ways to play the trend.

That’s what makes Alianza Minerals (ANZ.V; TARSF.OTCQB) and the drill program on its Haldane project — located in one of the world’s great silver districts — so intriguing.

If the drills turning now at Haldane verify the extent of this winter’s high-grade hit there, Alianza could wind up being the silver play of Summer 2021.

Dear Fellow Investor,

Drill hole plays with a good chance of discovery are perennial favorites of those who invest in the exploration side of the mining sector.

And for good reason.

While a wager on a drill program is inherently speculative, it can also be extremely lucrative if the drills hit paydirt.

But an explorer can increase the odds of discovery if a company is led by the right people who are looking in the right place for their chosen metal.

In Alianza Minerals’ (ANZ.V; TARSF.OTCQB) case, the metal in question is silver, the poor cousin of gold that tends to rise in sympathy with gold and to provide significant leverage in the process.

Headed by Executive Chairman Mark Brown and President and CEO Jason Weber, Alianza has the “right people” part of the above formula in spades.

Brown’s track record turning Rare Element Resources from a penny stock into one of the biggest winners of the last resource cycle (a 52-for-1 winner for Gold Newsletter readers!) pairs nicely with Weber’s many exploration successes. These gentlemen are uniquely qualified to create shareholder wealth through discovery.

Alianza has the “right place” part of the equation covered too.

Because its Haldane project lies on the western edge of the Yukon’s prolific Keno Hill district, it has all the ingredients in place to deliver a high-grade silver discovery. (Including, as you’re about to see, hitting high-grade silver with its first drill holes last season.)

Simply put, more success with the drill program now underway at Haldane could soon send this small-cap junior’s share price due north.

A Prime Project In A World-Class Silver District

They say location is everything in retail and that old truism applies just as well to exploration projects.

All things being equal, the best place to discover a metal is in a region where discoveries of that metal have already been made.

That quality certainly applies to the Keno Hill district.

Keno Hill produced 217 million ounces of silver between 1913 and 1989, at an average grade of 1,149 g/t (37 ounces/tonne) silver, 5.62% lead and 3.14% zinc.

And according to the owner of the Keno Hill project to Haldane’s east, the region hosts 128.8 million ounces of silver in all categories.

Those impressive historic production grades make Keno Hill one of the world’s highest-grade silver camps. And Haldane lies on trend with the major host environment for silver in the area.

The Underexplored Area Ripe For New Discoveries

Despite over a century of exploration, Haldane is surprisingly underexplored.

Tucked away in the western end of the district, this project area has been largely forgotten until recently.

Records indicate that small underground mines on the Haldane property produced very high silver grades, but systematic exploration of the area has been sporadic, at best.

In all that time, only 21 holes have been drilled from surface at Haldane — and only now is Alianza in the process making a significant addition to that total.

Its work so far on the project is a textbook example of plying an historic mining area with modern mining techniques.

It’s a tack that has allowed many a junior in the recent decades to find major new deposits employing the powerful tools in the modern geologist’s toolbox.

Following Up On A Great Hit

In fact, Alianza has already seen initial success from this strategy at Haldane, with its drilling program conducted in Q4 2020 making a significant hit on its West Fault zone.

Hole 19 followed up on historic Hole 11-09 (2.2 meters of 320 g/t silver, 1.1 g/t gold, 0.7% lead, and 0.9% zinc).

Cutting below that hole into a deeper section of the mineralization-hosting vein along the West Fault, the hole hit a much wider high-grade interval — cutting 311 g/t silver, 0.11 g/t gold, 0.89% lead and 1.13% zinc over an impressive 16.2 meters. (True width estimated at 8.72 meters.)

Hole 19's combination of width and high grades put it near the top of historic assays from this project. The cross-section above highlights the thick interval of silver mineralization encountered by this hole, and also shows that Hole 18 hit significant mineralization at depth.

The Silver-Levered Drill Hole Play Of The Summer

This initial success is driving the current drill program at the West Fault, which will attempt to extend this high-grade silver-predominant interval along strike.

If the four holes in this 1,500-meter program hit similar widths and grades along strike, it could mark the beginning of the Keno Hill district’s next high-grade silver discovery.

Add in the longer-term potential of the Haldane’s myriad other targets (like the Bighorn and Middlecoff zones), and you have an exploration story that deserves your immediate attention.

Drills are turning at Haldane as we speak, making now the perfect time to consider a drill-hole bet on Alianza Minerals and its potential to deliver big-time leverage on rising silver prices later this summer.
