Pinnacle Silver and Gold plans drilling at El Potrero after high-grade silver discoveries

CEO Robert Archer of Pinnacle Silver and Gold said the company is working to fast-track its El Potrero project in Durango, Mexico, with the aim of returning it to production. The company has just received a permit for surface drilling in the northern part of the property and is preparing a drill program for newly discovered polymetallic mineralization related to the nearby Topia mine. One new showing assayed over 1100 grams per ton of silver, but the area is not yet road accessible, so the team will carry out detailed mapping and sampling, possibly setting up a small camp, before drilling. Archer said the more extensive permitting process for this drill program has laid a strong foundation for permits for the plant, mine and tailings facility.

  • Zacatecas Silver Receives Drill Permit and Finalizes Maiden Drill Program at Oso Negro, Sonora

    Zacatecas Silver (TSXV: ZAC) has received the drill permit from SEMARNAT for its Oso Negro gold-silver concession in Sonora, Mexico, completing the final regulatory requirement before drilling. The company has finalized a 2,500-metre maiden diamond drill program across the Prospecto and Tere vein systems, collared from 20 pads with shallow angled holes designed to intersect veins 40 to 80 vertical metres below high-grade rock chip outcrops. The project lies entirely on private land, where surface access is secured under an initial one-year term that is renewable. Rock chip sampling across more than 3 kilometres of mapped vein strike returned assays up to 20.3 g/t gold and 3,480 g/t silver from 510 samples.

  • Pinnacle Silver and Gold secures drilling permit for El Potrero project in Mexico

    Pinnacle Silver & Gold Corp has received an environmental permit from Mexico's environmental ministry SEMARNAT for surface drilling at its past-producing El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango. The permit covers 110 drill sites, is valid for two years, and supports an initial 48-hole program totaling 5,540 metres; because of the area's classification, a full environmental impact assessment (MIA) was required. Baseline data from the application will also support permits for the mine, processing plant, tailings storage, powerline and water supply, with the company targeting a formal production decision in early 2027. A feasibility study for a proposed 3.3-kilometre powerline extension is complete, and Comisión Federal de Electricidad has confirmed sufficient capacity, though environmental and land-use permits are still needed. For water, Mexico's national water authority has confirmed sufficient river water under rules that changed in December 2025, and field work is underway.

  • Luca Intersects 19 Metres of 6.3 g/t Gold Equivalent from the Creston Vein at Tahuehueto Mine

    Luca Mining (TSXV: LUCA) reported new assay results from its 2026 exploration drilling at the Tahuehueto gold-silver mine in Durango, Mexico. The standout hole, TRT26-15, cut 18.7 metres of 6.28 g/t gold equivalent in the Creston Vein, wider and higher-grade than the resource model anticipated. The intersection sits near existing underground infrastructure and within an area scheduled for mining in the first half of 2027, and could add high-grade mill feed in the near term. Drilling at the Catorce and Santiago veins also returned high-grade intervals, including 13.7 metres of 3.33 g/t AuEq at Catorce and 11.6 metres of 5.21 g/t AuEq at Santiago, supporting potential resource expansion near the mine.

  • Barksdale Commences Updated PEA for San Javier Copper-Gold Project, Adding Gold for the First Time and Current Consensus Metal Pricing

    Barksdale Resources (TSXV: BRO) has commenced an update to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its 100%-owned San Javier copper-gold project in Sonora, Mexico. The 2024 PEA assumed a copper-only heap leach operation at US$4.00/lb copper; the update adds metallurgical testing to assess gold and copper recovery and will replace that price deck with current consensus prices for both metals. In 2026, the company assayed 187 drill core reject samples from five holes drilled in 2007, with four of the five holes returning positive gold results, including 9.0 metres of 3.464 g/t Au in SJ07-64. The 250,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold cited in the 2024 PEA are conceptual, as no gold Mineral Resource has been defined. The update is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027.

  • Axo Metals Drilling Intercepts 48.0 Metres of 1.18 g/t Au From Surface at Recently Discovered Luz del Cobre Target; Additional Results Include 3.94 g/t Au Over 15.0 Metres

    Axo Metals (TSXV: AXO) reported results from 33 drillholes, about 3,700 metres, at its San Antonio project in Sonora, Mexico, focused on the newly discovered Luz del Cobre target about 750 metres east of the Sapuchi resource pit. Hole SOSAP-26-069 returned 48.0 metres of 1.18 g/t Au of oxide material from surface, while hole SOSAP-26-083 assayed 3.94 g/t Au over 15.0 metres from 12 metres down the hole. Initial drilling in the gap between Luz del Cobre and Sapuchi has confirmed at least 450 metres of mineralized strike length, and Luz del Cobre sits about 1.8 km from existing plant infrastructure, so the company is evaluating it as an early mining option. Three diamond rigs are operating, with two focused on resource expansion drilling.

  • Gartner Stock Crashed Despite Raised Guidance. Here's What Spooked Investors

    Gartner shares fell nearly 20% Tuesday morning and were still down about 13% at 3:30 p.m. ET, despite beating its own forecasts and raising its full-year outlook. Contract value, the metric investors watch most closely, rose 2.5% year over year to $5.3 billion, its third straight quarter of faster growth but still slow. Revenue slipped 1.3% to $1.5 billion, partly due to the sale of its Digital Markets unit, while adjusted EPS jumped 30% to $3.59. Gartner repurchased $1.7 billion of stock over the past four quarters, reducing shares outstanding by close to 15%. The article says the stock may not get much credit until contract value growth picks up, amid pressure from the war in the Middle East and new tech layoffs.

  • Eaton's strong quarter should mark a bottom for shares of the AI buildout winner

    Eaton reported third-quarter revenue up 28% year over year to a record $8.95 billion, above the LSEG consensus of $8.51 billion, while adjusted EPS rose 20% to $3.68 versus the $3.54 expected. Data center revenue jumped 65%, management raised its full-year outlook for the third time this year, and the $9.5 billion Boyd Thermal acquisition continued to contribute strongly. Shares rose almost 7% to about $391 in afternoon trading but remain below their August closing high of roughly $460. Eaton's tracking shows announced U.S. data center projects total 366 gigawatts, up from 307 gigawatts three months earlier, versus installed capacity of about 50 gigawatts. The article reiterates a hold-equivalent 2 rating and a $450 price target, while looking for signs that bearishness across the AI trade is easing.
