Core Insights - Pacifica Silver Corp. has announced assay results from the remaining nine holes of its Phase I diamond drilling program at the Claudia Silver-Gold Project, which is located in the El Papantón Mining District, Mexico. The Phase I program consisted of 30 holes totaling approximately 8,000 meters and was completed in December 2025 [1][3]. Drill Highlights – Aguilareña Area - The results from the Phase I Drill Program have confirmed the subsurface lateral continuity of the Aguilareña vein over a strike length of 1.8 km, with high-grade silver-gold intercepts indicative of classic low-sulfidation epithermal systems [3][12]. - Notable intercepts include hole 25CLAU053D, which intersected 4.30 m grading 1.42 g/t Au and 221 g/t Ag, and hole 25CLAU054D, which returned 4.25 m @ 1.25 g/t Au and 101 g/t Ag [6][17]. Discussion of Drill Results - Significant assay results from the Phase I Drill Program are summarized, with various holes reporting high-grade mineralization. For instance, hole 25CLAU065D intersected two high-grade intervals, including 0.30 m @ 12.30 g/t Au and 206 g/t Ag [4][8]. - The results demonstrate the potential for resource growth along the Aguilareña vein system, with ongoing drilling expected to further evaluate these high-grade discoveries [12][18]. Guadalupana Vein Results - Drilling at the Guadalupana vein confirmed its presence and continuity at deeper levels, with holes 25CLAU050D and 25CLAU051D intersecting widths of 5.1 m and 8.6 m, respectively, although grades were modest [14][18]. - The observed epithermal textures and hydrothermal features in the Guadalupana vein indicate potential for higher-grade silver-gold mineralization at greater depths [14][18]. Phase II Drill Program Update - The company has completed over 3,650 meters of diamond drilling across 13 core holes in its ongoing Phase II program, focusing on expanding high-grade mineralized intervals along the Aguilareña vein system and testing previously undrilled targets [19][27].
