Capitan Silver announced the arrival of a third drill rig at its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project in Durango, Mexico, further expanding its 2026 exploration campaign. The rig will help accelerate the company’s 60,000-metre multi-rig drilling program, targeting extensions of high-grade mineralization along the Jesús María Silver Trend, including the Peñoles and Gully fault zones.
EV Resources announced it has acquired the remaining 50% interest in the Don Enrique Copper-Silver Project in Peru, securing 100% ownership for about US$150,000. The consolidation creates a 2,684-hectare land package with 5.5 km of prospective strike over a large undrilled geophysical anomaly. Historic sampling returned copper grades up to 3.22%, and the project is drill-ready with permits in place.
Mercado Minerals has begun a 3,000-meter diamond drilling program at its Copalito project in Sinaloa, Mexico. About 25 drill holes will test several segments of known silver-gold veins including 5 Señores, El Agua, La Chiva, and El Pilar, while also evaluating new targets. The program builds on 81 historical drill holes and aims to better define mineralization and guide future exploration.
Advance Metals reported broad silver-gold drill intersections at its Yoquivo Project in Chihuahua, Mexico, confirming strong mineralization continuity and indicating potential for a significant resource upgrade. The results support expanding the geological model and evaluating larger-scale development scenarios as the company works toward an updated JORC mineral resource estimate expected in 2026.
Luca Mining reported new drilling results from its Tahuehueto Mine in Durango, Mexico, intersecting 7.6 m grading 16.1 g/t gold equivalent, confirming high-grade breccia mineralization below current workings. The results demonstrate continuity in the Creston vein system and potential to expand near-mine resources, prompting a 40% increase in the 2026 drill budget to $3.5 million.
Pan American Silver reported the discovery of at least four new high-grade silver veins at the La Colorada mine in Zacatecas, Mexico. Drilling between the Cristina and San Gerónimo systems returned strong intercepts, with 40% of holes exceeding 1,000 g/t silver. The Filomena, Nicolasa, Bernardina, and Josefina veins may expand mineral resources and support future high-grade development.
Kootenay Silver reported additional drill results from its Columba High-Grade Silver Project in Chihuahua, Mexico, including 10 m grading 503 g/t silver and 9.88 m grading 319 g/t silver from the Lupe Vein system. The ongoing drill program—expanded to 60,000 meters—is focused on step-out drilling to expand resources, currently estimated at 54.1 million inferred ounces of silver at 284 g/t.

Regency Silver reports that 2025 drilling at its Dios Padre project in Sonora, Mexico has identified new silver-rich zones beneath the historic mine, extending the system 125 m down dip. Highlight assays include 158 g/t silver with copper over 9 m and 5.4 g/t gold over 9 m, supporting continuity of mineralization and potential for substantial new silver-rich zones.
Minaurum Silver has expanded drilling at its Alamos Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico, to six rigs as part of a 50,000-metre Phase II program. Step-out drilling continues on key veins like Europa and Travesía-Quintera, with standout high-grade silver-equivalent intercepts reported, supporting plans for an updated resource estimate later in 2026.
