Honey Badger reports first field-program assays from Yava, Nunavut

Honey Badger Silver reported assays from its first field program at the Yava polymetallic project in Nunavut. The August 2026 work lasted five days, collected 146 rock samples and was the first systematic on-the-ground exploration there since 2007. The company said it confirmed mineralization near the historic Main Zone and identified occurrences at the R-12, M-9, M-10 and South Zone electromagnetic targets.

Selected Main Zone grab samples reached 279 g/t silver, 5.82% copper, 0.83 g/t gold, 0.60% zinc and 0.32% lead; these are maximum values, not a single combined assay. New target observations included a roughly 70-metre area of elevated zinc and copper at R-12. Grab samples are selective and may not represent average grades. The company said its own field program did not insert reference materials, blanks or duplicates, so verification relied on ALS laboratory quality controls.
