Silver Storm Mining Ltd. has begun a 6,000-metre underground drilling program at its 100% owned La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex in Durango, Mexico. The campaign targets step-out and infill drilling at Quebradillas, San Marcos, and Rosarios to grow resources and support development toward a potential restart of operations in 2026. Follow-up drilling and surface exploration are also planned.

Vizsla Silver announced additional high-grade intercepts from geotechnical drilling at the Copala area of the Panuco silver-gold project, Mexico. Key results include 1,800 g/t AgEq over 3.80m true width (incl. 3,833 g/t over 0.93m) and 840 g/t AgEq over 6.50m true width. These dual-purpose holes confirm strong mineral continuity and support upcoming engineering studies.

Questcorp Mining and Riverside Resources announce a new Carlin-like gold discovery at the Luis Hill target on the Union Project, Sonora, Mexico. Initial drilling hit 42.7m @ 0.286 g/t Au in black shales and carbonates. Famosa Mine area returned 1.85m @ 0.345 g/t Au. Phase I completed 12 holes (1,625m); assays pending for other targets. Follow-up drilling planned for 2026.

Mercado Minerals Ltd. has begun its first field exploration at the Copalito Project in Sinaloa, Mexico, including mapping, prospecting, re-sampling historic core, re-logging, and refining drill targets. The company aims to start a ~3000 m Phase 1 diamond drill program in Q1 2026 and will verify historical data while advancing logistics for drilling.

Kingsmen Resources Ltd. reported a new high-grade silver discovery at its Las Coloradas project (Parral district, Chihuahua, Mexico). Drill hole LC-25-004 hit 3.15 m at 241 g/t silver equivalent, including 1.15 m at 525 g/t AgEq and 0.185 g/t gold, from shallow depths. The DBD zone shows strong potential with further drilling planned.

Kingsmen Resources reported a new high-grade silver discovery at its Las Coloradas project in Chihuahua, Mexico. Drill hole LC-25-004 intersected 241 g/t silver equivalent over 3.15 m, including 525 g/t AgEq over 1.15 m, from a shallow depth (~70 m), with additional anomalous gold and strong mineralization suggesting further discovery potential and plans for more 2026 drilling.

Pinnacle Silver and Gold reports strong progress at its El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico after acquiring up to 100 % of the property. In 2025 it established a large, high-grade epithermal system, completed extensive sampling and geological work, advanced metallurgy and permitting, and now plans underground and surface drilling in 2026 to advance toward production.

Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp. reported strong progress at its El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico, defining a large low-sulphidation epithermal system over ~1.6 km. Extensive mapping and sampling returned high-grade results, supporting planned underground drilling, metallurgy, and permitting as the project advances toward the next exploration stage.

Luca Mining Corp. reported strong drill results at Campo Morado, including 55.8 m of 5.90 g/t AuEq (with 7.7 m of 10.09 g/t) in hole CMRF25-15, confirming wider, higher-grade gold-rich mineralization near infrastructure. The company has expanded the program, adding a second rig and 10,000 m of drilling to test high-priority targets.

Pacifica Silver Corp. launched a 12,000m Phase II diamond drill program at its Claudia Silver-Gold Project in Durango, Mexico, starting January 15 with three rigs. Following the completed 7,992m Phase I, it will expand high-grade zones and test new southern targets, backed by ongoing exploration including mapping, LiDAR, and IP surveys.
