Diablo Resources has identified a large silver–antimony geochemical anomaly at its Star Range project in Utah, following first-pass soil sampling at the South Star prospect.
“The results from our first-pass soil sampling continue to build confidence in the potential of the Star Range project,” said Diablo Chief Executive Officer Lyle Thorne. “At South Star, the silver–antimony anomaly now extends for more than 1 km and remains open to the northeast. This, combined with several historic workings and high-grade rock samples, reinforces our view that the project hosts multiple mineralized zones.”
High-grade historical rock samples from the area returned values of up to 8,760 g/t silver and greater than 1% antimony, while recent sampling by Diablo has confirmed elevated silver, antimony and gold values across multiple locations. The strong spatial correlation between anomalous soil geochemistry and surface mineralization is considered a positive indicator for further exploration.
Diablo is progressing toward its maiden drilling program, which is anticipated in the June 2026 quarter, subject to final target definition.
The Star Range project is located 6 km west of the town of Milford in a well-established mining district in southwestern Utah, close to historic silver production and currently operating copper mines. It consists of 104 unpatented lode claims for 2,160 acres, consisting of two claim blocks, North Star and South Star prospects.
