Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp. is advancing its El Potrero property in Durango, Mexico, with Phase I fieldwork underway. Surface mapping extended the vein system 1,100 meters, and 132 samples were submitted for analysis. Underground mine cleaning and sampling are complete, access roads cleared, and plant cleanup nearly finished. Community relations are positive, and a LiDAR survey is planned.

Colibri President & CEO Ian McGavney commented: “We are pleased with overall results from this recent diamond drilling program. The footprint of the gold & silver mineralization at Pilar has been expanded and opens the doors for potential future drilling along the Main Zone trend as well as the less understood 4T and North Hill trends. Our attention will now be focussed on working with our partner to advance a maiden estimate as well as finalizing plans and permitting for our upcoming up to 50,000 tonne test mine/bulk sample.”

“Step-out drilling south of the Main Zone has extended the high-grade corridor where we previously thought mineralization stopped.” commented, CEO Brodie Sutherland.

“The very high-grade channel sampling results and mapping work at the Copalquin District, Target 2 area enhances the initial assessment of the high prospectivity of the next target area in the district. Drilling has commenced around the two main historic workings of Las Brujas and El Peru before expanding into adjacent areas of significant historic mining activity.”

“We are excited to be back drilling the expansion zone where recent results returned high-grade gold at surface.” commented, CEO Brodie Sutherland. “Following up on our success, testing the northern edge of known mineralization with drilling will provide us with further insight on the resource potential.”

Marc Prefontaine, President and CEO states, “We are very pleased that such an early-stage drill program successfully intersected mineralization in 8 of the 13 drill holes completed to date, with all drill holes intersecting anomalous mineralization. This maiden drill program marks the first time this extensively altered area has been drill tested.”

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, “Heliostar closed the first quarter of 2025 with a US$27M (C$38M) cash balance, over half of which was generated from operating profits. This places the Company in a strong position to achieve our planned production and resource growth goals.”

Paul D. Gray, Luca VP Exploration, commented, “Luca has been able to execute an efficient underground drilling program at Campo Morado that represents the first stage the Company’s plan to realize the untapped mineral potential of the Campo Morado Mine and District. The Campo Morado deposit hosts additional mineral potential beyond the extent of its known resources.”

Chris Wright, Chairman and CEO of Defiance, commented: “This acquisition aligns with Defiance Silver’s core strategy of acquiring and advancing top tier mining projects. Our goal is to develop assets that will play a leading role in the future of gold, silver, and copper mining in Mexico. The Green Earth Metals team consists of seasoned mine financiers and global mineral explorers, and we are pleased to welcome them as shareholders.”

“With the option agreement signed and all necessary permits already in hand. We are fully prepared to move forward,” said David Coburn, CEO of Masivo Silver. “The drill targets are being carefully defined, being prioritized, and we are mobilizing immediately to begin drilling these high-grade silver zones. This is a significant milestone for the Cerro Colorado Project, and we are excited to start unlocking its full potential.”
