Silver Bow Mining Corp. Reports Initial Assay Results From Drill Program at Rainbow Block Project
NYSE American: SBMT
Overview
Silver Bow Mining Corp. (NYSE American: SBMT) announced the assay results from the first two drill holes of its 25,000-foot surface diamond drilling program at the Rainbow Block Project in Butte, Montana. According to the company, drill holes SBM26-01 and SBM26-02 comprise approximately 2,065 feet of diamond core drilling conducted above the water table.
The company states that the results represent step outs from the existing inferred Mineral Resource Estimate, as detailed in its S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary released May 2025 and updated February 2026. Drill hole SBM26-01 intersected mineralization from 640 to 1,980 feet beyond the current inferred Resource boundary along strike, while SBM26-02 extended from 930 to 2,270 feet beyond the boundary. According to the company, multiple veins intercepted in both holes lie entirely outside the current inferred Mineral Resource Estimate footprint, and in some cases represent new veins which were previously unknown.
Key Highlights

Strategic and Operational Context
According to the company, the results from the first two drill holes confirm vein extensions well beyond the current inferred Mineral Resource Estimate, as well as the presence of critical minerals enrichment. The company states that these drill holes are part of a 25,000-foot surface diamond drilling program at the Rainbow Block Project. The results are referenced against the company's S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary, originally released in May 2025 and updated in February 2026.
The company notes that the intercepts span both precious metal enriched intervals and base metal enriched intervals across multiple named and previously unknown veins, with distances from the current inferred Mineral Resource Estimate boundary ranging from 640 feet to 2,270 feet along strike.
