Pacifica Claudia Project progress

Highlights

Pacifica Silver targets its first resource estimate by 2027 at the 11,876-hectare Claudia Project, with only 10% of 30 km mineralized veins drill-tested.
Recent drilling at Claudia returned high-grade intercepts, including 5.04 meters grading 8.72 g/t gold and 49 g/t silver at the Central Vein and 4.44 meters grading 8 g/t gold and 65 g/t silver at Aguilareña.
Existing infrastructure, proximity to a sizable town, and strong financial backing provide Pacifica Silver with reduced development hurdles and significant exploration upside.

Drilling results and 2027 resource plan

As reported by Weiss Ratings, Pacifica Silver is building toward its first formal mineral resource estimate in 2027 at the 11,876-hectare Claudia Project in Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental, an area known as one of the world's most productive gold and silver belts.

The company controls 100% of the project, which covers much of the historic El Papantón Mining District, where at least nine small mines operated during the 20th century. Management says more than 30 kilometers of gold- and silver-bearing veins are mapped across the property, with only about 10% of those veins drill-tested so far.

Recent drilling is returning high-grade intercepts. On Oct. 28, the company reported 5.04 meters grading 8.72 grams per metric ton of gold and 49 grams of silver at the Central Vein, while another hole at the Aguilareña Vein returned 4.44 meters grading 8 grams of gold and 65 grams of silver.

Chief executive Todd Anthony says Pacifica is targeting a cumulative drilling database of about 65,000 to 75,000 meters to support its resource ambitions.

Infrastructure advantages and exploration upside

Claudia differs from many early-stage precious metals projects because the property already benefits from infrastructure that could support future mine development. It is near a sizable town with access to skilled labor, can be reached by highway, and has a power line crossing the property.

That setup may reduce some of the logistical hurdles often faced by junior miners exploring in remote regions. Combined with high-grade results and a large inventory of veins that remain untested, the project offers Pacifica significant room to expand discoveries as drilling continues.

The company is also backed by experienced mining investors, adding financial and strategic support as it works to define the size of the gold and silver system. For the junior mining sector, the combination of grade, infrastructure and district-scale land position makes Pacifica a company to watch.
