The 11,876-hectare property covers most of the historic El Papantón Mining District and holds more than 30 km of known veins. CEO Todd Anthony said only about 10% of those veins had been drill-tested before Pacifica’s work began. Anthony spent 2010 to 2023 at First Majestic Silver, and he said that experience shaped which Mexican states he was willing to work in.\nThe company took over the project in July 2025 and drilled 7,992 m in 29 holes that year. Its fully funded Phase II program began in mid-January 2026, was expanded to 30,000 m, and had reached over 27,900 m in 118 holes by October 26, with 4 rigs operating. Anthony said roughly 75% to 80% of this year’s holes have tested the Aguilareña Vein, the site of a 94 m historical shaft.\nResults released raised mineralized strike across the Aguilareña, Central and Justina veins to more than 3.9 km, an increase of about 1.4 km, or 56%. A step-out about 500 m south on the Central Vein returned 8.72 g/t Au and 49 g/t Ag over an estimated true width of 5.04 m, including 35.83 g/t Au and 159 g/t Ag over 1.03 m. The company reports an emerging shoot of about 750 m of strike and 100 m down-dip, open along strike and at depth. Aguilareña now measures about 2.7 km of strike and 225 m down-dip, although grades on the new southern extension are lower than in the shoot north of the shaft.\nAnthony’s investment case starts with near-surface grade and low costs. He put all-in drilling at about $140 per meter, and the project lies about 15 km by paved road from Santiago Papasquiaro, so crews can stay in town. Durango ranks 4th most peaceful of 32 Mexican states in the 2026 Mexico Peace Index, and the company cites drill permits in roughly 45 days. The mining method is undecided, with a small pit and...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
