Overview

I’d like to briefly explain how the company was formed and what drives our mission.


In the late 1960s and 1970s, a mine near Walton, Nova Scotia produced barite for oil and gas drilling. As operations went deeper, rich silver and zinc mineralization was discovered. Although a shaft confirmed high-grade silver, the mine was abandoned in 1978 due to water inflow caused by poor mining practices.

Our geologist, Jim Michaelis, whose father-in-law worked at the mine, re-examined the site using modern geological and geophysical methods. We concluded the historic mine exploited only a small offshoot of a much larger system. Jim developed a 3D structural model, and a 2023 drill hole confirmed it, intersecting silver-bearing veins where predicted. Follow-up geophysics identified a highgravity mass consistent with the original orebody.

The deposit fits a mineral system well known in Ireland, formed when Nova Scotia and Ireland were once connected. Later geological events likely overturned the system, creating the vertical geometry we are now targeting. Our results indicate we are close to larger, higher-grade silver veins.

TruSilver is supported by a focused and experienced team with deep expertise in geology, mining, and value creation. With silver now recognized as both a precious and critical metal, and global supply tightening, the timing is ideal. As we advance toward going public, we plan a targeted drill program using downhole geophysics to refine targeting and maximize success.


If confirmed, a significant silver deposit at Sturgis could attract major mining partners and help establish a new mining industry in Nova Scotia—creating jobs, royalties, and long-term economic benefits.
