Bayhorse Silver Underground Drilling Operations Suspended Due To Wildfires
July 27, 2026 BHS2026-15
Bayhorse Silver Inc, (BHS: TSX-V, BHSIF: OTCQB, 7KXN: FRANKFURT) (the “Company” or “Bayhorse”) CEO, Graeme O’Neill, advises that drilling was suspended on the afternoon of Friday July 24th due to a Wildfire at Fox Creek, 7 miles north of the Bayhorse Mine.
On Sunday the 25th, it had grown to over 45,000 acres, and it is reported to have reached the town of Huntington, which is beside Interstate I-84, that is currently closed over an 80 mile stretch. The Bayhorse Silver Mine lies between Fox Creek and Huntington beside the Snake River’s Brownlee Reservoir.
O’Neill, who is currently in close proximity to the Mine location, comments that while there is little fuel for a wildfire at the Mine Site, and it is within 300 feet from the Brownless Reservoir, wildfire behavior is difficult to predict close to large bodies of water. He further comments that while access to the area is prohibited and an evacuation order is in place due to the ongoing wildfire danger, he understands that the Mine site may be accessible in the next few days for his inspection.. Due to the access restrictions placed on Huntington and the Mine Site, the Company is unable to determine the impact of the wildfire on its facilities at this time.
At the time before the closure, underground drilling operations were underway with a new easterly drill hole collared, and a series of four 300-350ft drill holes to the east of the current known inferred resource area commenced.
Additionally, the crushing circuit was fully operational and the first of the bulk sampling crushing had begun.
The Company has taken delivery of a John Deere 325 G skidsteer for service support equipment and a 45ft X 25 ft metal building to be used as a core shack at the Mine site.
The Company will issue an update on operations and the impact of the wildfire when the evacuation order is lifted.
