Silver North completes Haldane royalty transaction
Underlying royalty holders sell combined 2% NSR to Orogen Royalties
Vancouver, BC, August 20, 2026 - TheNewswire – Silver North Resources Ltd. ( TSX-V: SNAG, OTCQB: TARSF, Frankfurt: I90, “ Silver North ” or the “ Company ”) reports it has been informed that Orogen Royalties (TSX-V:OGN) has purchased the combined 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) on the Haldane Property from the underlying royalty holders. Orogen purchased a 0.5% NSR from each of four separate individuals for total consideration of $500,000 cash and a percentage of future royalty revenue capped at $2,500,000.
"We believe this purchase recognizes the strong potential of the Haldane Property to host a significant silver resource in a historic silver camp," stated Jason Weber, P.Geo., President and CEO of Silver North. "Prior to this, Orogen has focused primarily on organic royalty generation, with this purchase marking only its second acquired royalty and further underscoring the quality exploration targets at the Haldane Property."
Silver North’s 2026 exploration program consists of two drill rigs in operation on site at Haldane with the primary focus being the expansion of high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization at its recently discovered Main Fault target. A 2025 drill hole at the Main Fault (HLD25-31) intersected 818 g/t silver, 1.39 g/t gold, 2.54% lead and 0.98% zinc over 13.15 m (see news release dated November 17, 2025). One rig continues to step out along strike and down dip at the Main Fault, while the second rig is testing the Bighorn target, a separate vein target 3 km to the northwest. The only hole drilled at Bighorn, in 2019, returned strongly anomalous silver mineralization, including 125.7 g/t silver over 2.35 m (see news release dated October 22, 2019).
