Dolly Varden Silver Corporation: Geochemical Analysis Shows a Large
Intense and Pervasive Potassic Alteration Zone
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Apr 29, 2014) -
Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSX-VENTURE:DV)(OTCBB:DOLLF)
("Dolly Varden" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the
Company's new geochemical model indicates a very large potassic
alteration zone and a series of other geochemical anomalies that
are congruent with other structural and geophysical modeling and
targeting observations at the Dolly Varden property in
Northwestern, BC. The results of the integrated application of
these geotechnical disciplines will be discussed in this and the
series of news releases to follow. This work has allowed the
Company to focus on and refine key targets, such as Red Point, and
further develop the other targets that will be part of the proposed
2014 drilling and work program.

The geochemical program and analysis as directed by Dr. Hans
Madeisky has led to the following major observations and
conclusions:
1) The DV property covers a very large alteration system,
including several alteration haloes, developed above and on the
eastern flank of an intrusive complex located to the west of the
Kitsault River;
2) The Red Point-Gold Belt alteration halo is typical of an
intrusive complex hosting porphyry Cu-Mo-Au system at or near its
hotter core. The higher temperature core is characterized by the
presence of illite-sericite-pyrite-quartz stockworks and its
characteristic base, precious, and accessory metal assemblage of
Cu-Mo-Au-Bi;
3) The alteration to the east is typical of lower temperature
epithermal, or hot spring type Au-Ag-Pb-Zn systems. It is
characterized by the presence of large quartz-carbonate-barite vein
and stratabound bodies with Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization hosted in
K-spar (adularia) altered andesite tuffs found at the Dolly Varden,
North Star, and Torbrit deposits near and on both sides of the
Kitsault River;
4) The lower temperature halo is approximately 7.5 km long by
0.6 km wide and covers an area from south of the Torbrit deposit to
north of the Wolf deposit, and represents the characteristic
alteration type observed in many well-known large Au-Ag mining
camps. The lateral extent of this halo can easily be defined
through air or ground-borne radiometric surveys; and
5) The Wolf deposit lies well within the large adularia
alteration zone and consists of sulphide bearing veins
cross-cutting the host stratigraphy (likely a feeder structure) and
a stratabound high-grade silver "exhalite" deposit. The potential
exists in the overlying stratigraphy for additional stratiform
exhalative mineralization, particularly in the direction of the
Surprise showings, which represent primary target areas for an
Eskay Creek type deposit.

Since 2013, the geochemical sampling and modeling have been
conducted under the supervision of Dr. Hans Madeisky. A thorough
review and modeling of whole-rock geochemical data collected from
the Dolly Varden property during the 2011 to 2013 exploration
seasons, as well as a re-examination of the results of several soil
sampling campaigns dating from 1978 to 1989, has led to these
conclusions.
Dolly Varden plans to continue its geochemical sampling and
radiometric ground follow-up campaign during the 2014 exploration
season to fill in yet un-sampled areas, and also to extend its
sampling and prospecting efforts into target areas identified by
the recently completed geophysical modeling.
About Dolly Varden
Dolly Varden Silver Corporation is a 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:
to confirm and expand the existing historical silver
mineralization, and to explore and discover major Eskay Creek-type
gold and silver rich VMS targets and large epithermal systems. The
Company's common shares are listed and traded on the TSX-V under
the symbol DV and on the OTCBB system under the symbol DOLLF.
