Silverco Mining has launched a fully funded 30,000-metre drill program at its Cusi Project in Chihuahua, targeting major step-out extensions and new regional “blue-sky” prospects. The program focuses on expanding known resources (San Juan, San Miguel) and testing a large offset extension across the Cusi fault, while advancing plans to restart production in H2 2026.

Heliostar Metals reported multiple near-surface gold intercepts at the San Agustin Mine in Durango, extending oxide mineralization over 200 metres beyond the current pit. Results from several zones support strong potential to expand resources and mine life, prompting an increase in the 2026 drill program to 15,000–18,000 metres.

Zacatecas Silver received a SEMARNAT drill permit for the El Cristo vein system at its Zacatecas Silver Project, enabling a 4,000 m 2026 drill program (2,800 m at El Cristo). The program targets resource expansion and new zones, aiming to define a maiden resource while building on the existing 20.5 Moz AgEq resource at Panuco.

Pacifica Silver expanded its Phase II drill program at the Claudia silver-gold project in Durango from 12,000 to 20,000 metres following financing and new permits. The program targets high-grade veins and new zones, with multiple rigs active and assays pending. The company also appointed veteran geologist Dr. Steven I. Weiss as Interim VP Exploration.

Colibri Resource reported results from its maiden RC drill program at the Plomo claims within the EP Gold Project in Sonora’s Caborca Gold Belt. Drilling intersected gold in 18 of 22 holes, including 7.5 m grading 2.92 g/t Au and 30 m grading 0.73 g/t Au from near surface, indicating a broad mineralized corridor at the San Perfecto target with strong potential for follow-up exploration.
