I’m excited to announce our rebrand to Alaska Silver – reflecting our strategic focus on the district’s exceptional silver potential. Our 2025 drilling program will target expanding high-grade mineralization at Waterpump Creek South.
Silver continues to excel both as a premier industrial conductor and stable investment asset. While prioritizing our silver resources, we remain committed to leveraging other critical minerals at Illinois Creek, such as gallium.
This focused approach creates immediate value through our high-grade silver assets while maintaining portfolio diversification. The strategy positions us to capture industrial demand and investment interest, ultimately driving stronger returns for our shareholders.
Gallium: 100% net import reliant. Used in semiconductor chips, radars, sensors, and secure communications.
Alaska Silver and Gallium
Securing a domestic source of critical minerals is important and WPC has the potential to contribute to this need.
Waterpump Creek is enriched in critical minerals with zinc as a primary commodity and gallium as a potentially important by-product:
Highlights:
Zinc concentrates grade from 53 to 58%
Total zinc in the Inferred Resource is 591 million pounds (295,000 tons)
Gallium grades range from 63 to116 ppm gallium in zinc concentrates
Alaska Silver is taking steps to further evaluate the critical mineral potential of WPC:
More concentrate and drill core results are expected in Q3 2025
Submittal of a “White Paper” proposal for metallurgical drilling and testing to the US Department of Defense in its effort to support the “Resiliency, health and competitiveness of the US industrial base and US supply chains that are critical for National Defense”.
Gallium: The Silent Power Behind the Future
Gallium is the unsung hero of modern technology and national security. It is used in LED lighting, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, data centers, 5G networks, satellite communications, smartphones, solar cells, magnets in electric vehicles and wind turbines, and critical technologies that safeguard defense systems. The United States is 100% dependent on imported gallium, with the vast majority sourced from China. When China imposed export restrictions, it highlighted the urgent need for domestic sources of this critical element. Gallium has been ranked as having the greatest US supply risk.
Alaska Silver is proud to be at the forefront of this mission, unlocking America’s potential to produce its own critical minerals and ensuring a future powered by innovation, sustainability, and security. The gallium story at Waterpump Creek has just begun.
