Diablo Resources has identified high-priority drill targets at its 100% owned Star Range silver-antimony project in Utah, following completion of an Induced Polarization (IP) survey at the North Star Prospect.
The survey has outlined multiple chargeability and conductivity anomalies that coincide with known high-grade surface mineralization and favorable geological structures, supporting the company’s plans for a maiden drilling program in the second quarter of 2026.
The newly defined targets align with the STAR-01 magnetic anomaly and are located proximal to an intrusive-sediment contact, a setting recognized as highly prospective for mineralization, noted the company.
The IP program, comprising approximately 9 line-kilometers of surveying, has defined three priority drill areas targeting chargeability and conductivity anomalies interpreted to be associated with sulphide mineralization at depth.
Planned drilling will also test high-grade veins and breccia zones identified at surface, forming the foundation of Diablo Resource’s maiden drill campaign.
“We are very encouraged by the results of the IP survey completed at North Star. The survey has outlined clear anomalies of interest that coincide with known mineralization and highly prospective geological settings, further reinforcing our view that the North Star Prospect represents a priority drill target,” said Diablo Resources CEO Lyle Thorne.
“The addition of these new geophysical targets provides valuable flexibility in shaping our exploration strategy as we progress toward our maiden drill program.
“Silver is increasingly recognized both as a precious and strategic metal, with growing demand from defense systems, electric vehicles, solar panels, AI data centers, and 5G infrastructure. We are committed to participating in the United States’ domestic efforts to secure reliable supplies of critical minerals.”
Star Range is located in Beaver County, Utah, approximately 6 km from the town of Milford and near historical and operating mining centers, including the Horn silver mine and Milford copper mine.
