Underground Delineation Drilling To Define Mineralized Zones
Pinnacle will modernize 35–40 year old underground workings to create secure drill stations and start delineation drilling by late March or early April.
Over 100 short fans of holes (~2,450 m total, mostly 20–25 m each) will define size, shape, and grade from inside the known mineralized zones.
insights INSIGHT
Surface Drilling To Test Gaps And Parallel Veins
Surface drilling permits expected in ~60–90 days will let Pinnacle test the 500 m strike between three historic mines and parallel veins a few hundred meters away.
Surface holes target gaps between workings and parallel veins with strong historical values to add exploration upside.

Drilling Fans From Inside Out To Map Vein Widths
Delineation program is planned as fans of short holes from inside workings to map widths that vary from ~1–2 m up to 8–10 m.
Drilling style (vertical, ±45°, horizontal) spaced ~10–12.5 m apart speeds coverage and grade definition.

In this episode of the KE Report, we sit down with Bob Archer, President and CEO of Pinnacle Silver & Gold (TSX.V: PINN | OTCQX: PSGCF), for a comprehensive update on the El Potrero Project. Following a news release on February 26, Bob details the multi-faceted approach the company is taking to advance the project toward a formal production decision.
Key Discussion Highlights:
Underground Delineation Drilling: Preparatory work is beginning this week to modernize and secure historical mine workings, setting the stage for over 100 short-reach drill holes designed to define the size, shape, and grade of mineralized zones.
Surface Exploration Strategy: With permits expected within 90 days, the company plans to test the 500-meter strike length between three historical mines and explore parallel veins that have shown strong historical values.
Advanced Metallurgical Testing: Following initial gold recoveries of 95.1%, a second round of testing is underway to optimize silver recovery and refine the plant flow sheet.
Infrastructure and Power Feasibility: An independent study is being conducted on the extension of a Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) power line, a critical step for determining the cost and timeline for long-term operations.
Community and Social Licensing: The company has formalized a community agreement that secures surface rights and fosters a supportive relationship with local stakeholders through job creation and infrastructure improvements.
