Maverick Gold and Silver Corporation (CSE: MAV | OTC: VRCFF | FSE: VR61) has spent the past year repositioning itself around precious metals exploration, shifting away from its previous identity as Supreme Critical Metals. In a recent interview with eResearch, VP Exploration Ian Foreman discussed how that transition has shaped the company’s current focus on Nevada and British Columbia.
The conversation covered Maverick Gold and Silver’s three principal projects: Jericho and Gator in Nevada, and Silver Vista in British Columbia. Foreman outlined the geological setting, recent fieldwork, and upcoming catalysts that management believes could move the projects toward drill-ready status.
Jericho And Gator Build Nevada Pipeline
Jericho has become one of Maverick’s primary exploration priorities. Located in southeastern Nevada, the project hosts a low-sulphidation epithermal system with historic high-grade gold and silver results, including samples reported at several ounces per tonne gold and up to 1,255 g/t silver. The company recently expanded the property footprint after identifying mineralized trends extending beyond the original claim boundaries.
Foreman said Maverick has now recognized two parallel mineralized trends at Jericho, measuring approximately four kilometres and two kilometres respectively. Historical data, combined with recent mapping, sampling and drone surveys, have allowed the company to rapidly refine targets less than six months after acquisition.
At Gator, located in Nevada’s Battle Mountain District, exploration is focused on the Gator South and GSX targets. Recent work has included geophysical surveys designed to identify structures and favourable host rocks associated with Nevada-style disseminated gold systems.
Silver Vista Awaits Permitting Progress
While Nevada remains a major focus, Maverick Gold and Silver also continues advancing the Silver Vista project in northern British Columbia. The sediment-hosted silver-copper target differs significantly from the Nevada assets and benefits from an extensive historical database and preserved drill core.
Foreman highlighted a 2021 drill intercept of 46 metres grading 48 g/t silver and 0.62% copper as evidence of an established mineralized system. The company is currently awaiting permit approvals and continues engagement with local Indigenous communities.
Looking ahead, investors can expect additional sampling results, geophysical interpretations, target refinement work, and potential drill planning across all three projects. The stated objective remains straightforward: advance Maverick Gold and Silver’s projects toward drilling as efficiently as possible.
