About Dolly Varden
Dolly Varden Silver Corporation is a Canadian-based mineral
exploration company focused on the exploration and development of
the Dolly Varden silver property located in northwestern British
Columbia. The Company's common shares are listed and traded on the
TSX-V under the symbol DV and in the U.S. under the symbol DOLLF.
The Dolly Varden silver property consists of 9,400 hectares which
includes four well-defined high grade silver deposits, two of which
have seen historic production totaling 20 million ounces of silver.
All four deposits have remaining historic mineral resources and are
situated in the same geologic setting as the past-producing Eskay
Creek deposit. The Company has two strategies for creating value at
the Dolly Varden silver project: to confirm and expand the existing
historic silver resources with the goal to re-start the historic
deposits and to explore a major, untested Eskay Creek-type gold and
silver rich VMS target, located northwest of the past producing
mines.
