COEUR D'ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / March 1, 2023 / Sidney Resources Corporation, (OTC PINK:SDRC) is pleased to announce the completed acquisition of the historical Walla Walla Project within the Marshall Lake Mining District, Idaho County. Approximately 10 miles from Sidney's Lucky Ben Project, the Walla Walla Mine is a high grade gold vein located near the historic Kimberly and Warren Mining Districts. This acquisition adds a total of 47 lode claims or 1.61 square miles to SDRC's holdings in Idaho. Most importantly it adds a production ready, proven out resource tonnage of 225,000 tons at a gold grade ranging 0.25opt - 8opt. With multiple veins and possible extension of the veins at depth, the property is wide open for further gold/silver resources. During the 2022 season F & H Mining completed chemical analysis of 8 samples with results ranging from 1.8 opt to 33.9 opt with a raw average of 13.56 opt. This significant step forward will put Sidney much closer to revenue generation.

The gold bearing vein of the Walla Walla Mine was originally discovered in the early 1970s. Several individuals have explored and mined the claim on a limited basis most notably in the early 1990s by Strata Mining, a Canadian junior exploration and mining company. Strata Mining completed trenching, drilling, and ultimately a small surface pit operation at the site during their tenure. Unfortunately, none of the trenching information or drill logs were retained and the information was lost. The existing disturbance boundary approved by the USFS was the original area used by Strata Mining for their operations. Eventually, the group sold the claims to F&H Mining Company. Prior to the sale of the project, the previous owners submitted a Plan of Operations to the USFS. They completed the process and approved small-scale mining for the project in February of 2008. In addition F&H Mining holds a water right for the project, Water Right ID #615146 was issued on 5/8/2006 and allows for water to be diverted from an unnamed stream, groundwater and from mine workings to a pond for; diversion to storage, mining from storage and mining storage.

With the purchase completed, F&H Mining began to advance the project. Under the direction of KMS, F&H Mining started project development. A small drilling program was developed to test the structural continuity of the vein in 2010 which was very successful; intercepting the vein at various depths. The drilling program demonstrated the continuity of the mineralization, both laterally and vertically within the Walla Walla Shear Zone and all drill holes contained gold values. It also confirmed the shear zone exists approximately 200 feet along strike and 475 feet down dip. In 2011, a geophysical survey was successful in detecting other geologic structures. It appears that the Walla Walla project has similar structures to the historic Kimberly District which successfully produced over 1,000,000 ounces of gold. Since that time a preliminary budget to bring the project to a production rate of approximately 200-300 tons per day was never finalized. The most foreseeable reason being the subsequent decline in spot gold years 2012 - 2016. This brings the project to the present day, with Sidney Resources acquiring 100% ownership of the Walla Walla project from F&H Mining Company.

On the successful acquisition COO and Head of Exploration Activities at Sidney Resources Corp. commented: "Acquisition of the Walla Walla claim group is part of our strategic plan to move the region back into production through the development of multiple ore source points to supply a larger regional mill. Our Chief Science Officer, Mike Irish and the recent acquisition of Irish Metals have significantly expanded our capacity to develop recovery and processing systems internally. We could not be more excited about the future; these claims are part of a region known for the high-grade gold and silver. We look forward to the upcoming season as we continue to develop these claims and explore for additional resources including critical rare earth minerals".
