Geological Context - The Pitarrilla deposit consists of three mineralized domains and at least four identified sulphide mineralized veins, with structures extending from below marine sediments through Manto Pitarrilla into upper volcanics [5][6]. - The geological re-logging of historical drill core has improved understanding of the deposit's geology and mineralization controls, focusing on high-grade feeder structures believed to be the main conduits for mineralization [22][23]. Project Overview - The Pitarrilla project is a large undeveloped silver, lead, and zinc project located 160 kilometers north of Durango City, covering 4,752 hectares across five concessions, with significant infrastructure and key permits already in place for underground mining and development [24].
