## Resource

Michael Fox sits down with Kit Marrs and incoming leader Aaron Schutt of Alaska Silver (TSX-V:WAM) (OTC:WAMFF) (formerly Western Alaska Minerals) to discuss the company’s strategic focus on the Illinois Creek District in Western Alaska, including the high-grade Water Pump Creek Deposit and the past-producing Illinois Creek Mine. Kit announces his planned retirement effective October 1st, transitioning day-to-day leadership to Aaron while remaining Executive Chairman and a major shareholder. The conversation dives into Aaron’s 20-year career at Doyon, his move into Alaska Silver’s next growth phase, and how his engineering and business expertise will guide pre-development. They also cover the active 6,000–9,000 meter drill program, ongoing exploration efforts, regulatory developments, and what investors can expect heading into the next phase of project advancement.
