VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Dolly Varden Silver Corp. (TSXV: DV) (OTC: DOLLF) is pleased to announce drill results from the 100%-owned Homestake Ridge property in British Columbia's Golden Triangle.
Highlights from the Homestake Main Deposit include:

"Dolly Varden Silver's initial drilling at the Homestake Main Deposit has returned consistent mineralized intervals with some of the highest grades of gold with silver reported from the Property to date, but also the entire Golden Triangle during the 2022 drilling season," said Shawn Khunkhun, president and CEO.
"Coupled with the exceptional grades and thicknesses of silver mineralization encountered in step-out holes at the Wolf and Kitsol Deposits, we are demonstrating the impressiveprecious metal endowment and potential of the Kitsault Valley trend." ...

But last year, it seemed everyone wanted in. Global demand for gold jumped nearly 20% to a decade high.
One of those buyers was Julia Grugen, 20, a finance major at Temple University. A few months ago, she made one of her first big investments ever. In gold. ...
Millions of Americans have been doing the same. Stefan Gleason is the president of Money Metals Exchange, one of the largest gold and silver dealers in the country. Gleason says ever since prices started rising in early lockdown, his business has through the roof.
"We've seen five to ten times more order volume," he says. Right now, his team works six days a week, packing up and shipping out around 2,000 boxes of gold bars, silver bars, and coins every day.
Gleason says customers tell him the last few years have shaken their faith in the US dollar, stocks and cryptocurency. But they trust gold. ...
