Dolly Varden Silver: Kitsault Hydro Electric Begins Upgrading Mine
Access Road for Recommissioning of 8MW Kitsault Storage Dam Hydro
Facility
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 17, 2014) -
Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSX-VENTURE:DV) (OTCBB:DOLLF)
("Dolly Varden" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that
Kitsault Hydro Electric Corporation ("Kitsault Hydro") has begun
upgrading the Kitsault Valley Road that originates in the village
of Alice Arm and continues 34 kilometers, along the Kitsault River,
providing access to the Torbrit and North Star Deposits (near
Kilometer 26) and the Wolf Deposit (near Kilometer 34) on the Dolly
Varden property. Alice Arm lies at tidewater in Observatory Inlet
on the North Coast of British Columbia. The associated map is
available at www.dollyvardensilver.com.
Kitsault Hydro is funding the road upgrade as part of its
planned re-development of the 8MW Kitsault Storage Dam hydro power
facility that provided power to the Torbrit mine in the 1950s and
lies on the northern border of the Dolly Varden property, roughly
6km from the Wolf Deposit. The road is an all-weather resource road
that was substantially upgraded from 2004 to 2008. This year's
upgrade is expected to open road access up to kilometer 26, near
the portal area of both the Torbrit and North Star deposits.
Kitsault Hydro has informed Dolly Varden that it plans on extending
the road to kilometer 40, providing access to the Kitsault Storage
Dam.
Dolly Varden and Kitsault Hydro have agreed to cooperate and
share resources where possible to facilitate the road upgrade,
which supports both Kitsault Hydro's re-development effort and
Dolly Varden's exploration and development programs. The
cooperation is by mutual agreement and the work is being funded by
Kitsault Hydro. If re-commissioned, the hydro facility could
provide power to the Dolly Varden operations in the future.
George Heard, CEO and President, of Dolly Varden commented: "The
Dolly Varden Property is in a very advantageous location, being in
an excellent geologic location and having access to nearby
infrastructure. The property lies in British Columbia's Golden
Triangle of mining, a highly active geologic area that hosts
numerous world-class gold/copper/silver deposits, including Eskay
Creek, Brucejack, and Silback Premier. Road access, proximity to
tidewater, and nearby potential power sources should reduce future
capital and operating costs, benefitting the exploration and
development of the Dolly Varden property".
