Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV: DV) has officially begun their 2025 exploration program at their wholly owned Kitsault Valley Project within the Golden Triangle of BC. The company is aiming to drill test 35,000 metres under the current program.
A total of four drill rigs are now in operation at Kitsault Valley, two of which began drilling in early May at the Moose Vein and Red Point targets. All four rigs are now said to be focused on drill testing step outs to the Wolf Vein on the southwestern portion of the deposit,
“Our 35,000 meter drilling program, which is well underway, is balanced between the discovery of new mineralization, expansion of known zones and derisking through infill drilling. In particular, priority drilling at our high-grade Wolf Vein is targeting a key structural intercept with a controlling structure, where there is significant expansion potential located along strike to the south,” commented Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden.
Drilling in 2025 is said to be split between the properties to the south, including the Big Bulk copper-gold porphyry, and the Homestake Ridge property to the north, all of which are found along the Kitsault Valley trend. 60% of drilling is expected to occur on the southern properties, while 40% of drilling will be allocated to Homestake Ridge.

At Wolf, drill testing is looking to expand on the southwesterly plunging, high grade silver corridor along strike and at depth, while targeting the intersection of the two main targets that are believed to be the source of mineralization. Directional drilling testing is again being utilized this year for more efficient drilling.
Drilling at Moose, which is 1.5 kilometers to the north of Wolf, will see drilling target the down plunge mineralization projection, which trends towards and below the sedimentary cap. The vein is said to be on a similar crosscutting structure as the Wolf vein.
“Concurrent de-risking work will continue to add value to one of the premier silver and gold advanced exploration projects in The Golden Triangle,” continued Khunkhun.
Dolly Varden Silver last traded at $3.83 on the TSX Venture.
