Ongoing Geophysical and Geological Interpretation Further Define
Priority Targets
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 8, 2014) - Dolly
Varden Silver Corporation (TSX-VENTURE:DV)(OTCBB:DOLLF) ("Dolly
Varden" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that through
recent geoscience modeling and ongoing interpretation, the Company
has focused its primary advanced exploration target areas on three
corridors within the Dolly Varden property. Work is now being done
to prioritize the most prospective drill-ready targets within these
corridors. The corridors and targets were chosen for their
potential to best expand areas of known high-grade silver
mineralization and to identify new Eskay-Creek style precious
metals deposits.
The three targeted corridors are the 1) Torbrit-Red Point
Corridor - following known silver mineralization underneath Red
Point, an Eskay-Creek style target; 2) Musketeer Corridor - which
runs along the east side of the Kitsault river with numerous
Ag-rich epithermal vein-type showings with strong potassic
radiometric signatures; and 3) Wolf-Surprise Corridor where an
Eskay-Creek style host formation containing silver-rich VMS
mineralization was identified by the Company's 2011 drill
program.

Through recent modeling and ongoing interpretation, the Company
has now moved from kilometer scale targeting to meter scale
targeting within these defined corridors. The Company's technical
team is working to delineate specific drill ready targets within
these corridors. An aggressive 40 to 50 hole (13,500 meter drill
program) is being finalized, subject to financing.
The combination of airborne MAG, VTEM, ZTEM radiometric, and
geochemical data, along with geological and structural mapping, was
used to define priority target zones. These helped define steep
linear features, syngenetic faults, lithologic contacts related to
basin formation, and key fluid controlling structures. In addition,
key rock units, contact zones and alteration zones most likely to
be associated with mineralization, were identified.
This compilation has demonstrated that the known deposits,
showings, and related alteration zones are all located within a
rift setting. The key rock units that infill the rift have also
been identified, and these represent viable targets for Eskay Creek
style VMS mineralization. Drilling will be conducted within
corridors where mineralized occurrences and coincident alteration
haloes point to extensive hydrothermal fluid flow. The key target
areas for 2014 drilling include syngenetic VMS-style mineralization
and associated feeder structures.
About Dolly Varden
Dolly Varden Silver Corporation is mineral exploration company
focused on the exploration and development of the Dolly Varden
silver property located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.
The Dolly Varden silver property consists of 9,400 hectares that
includes four well-defined high grade silver deposits, two of which
have seen historical production totaling 20 million ounces of
silver. All four deposits have remaining historical mineral
resources and are situated in the same geologic setting as the
past-producing Eskay Creek deposit. The Company has two near-term
objectives for creating value at the Dolly Varden silver project:
confirm and expand the existing historical silver mineralization
and to explore and discover major Eskay Creek-type gold and silver
rich VMS targets. 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.
