Core Insights - Endeavour Silver Corp. reported positive drill results from its Pitarrilla project in Durango, Mexico, indicating high-grade silver, zinc, and lead mineralization, which enhances confidence in upgrading existing mineral resources [1][22]. Drill Results - Significant drill results from the Danna vein include a wide mineralized interval of 7.4 meters with grades of up to 1,127 grams per tonne (gpt) silver, 1.40% lead, and 4.36% zinc, translating to 1,319 gpt silver equivalent (AgEq) over 2.08 meters estimated true width (ETW) [7]. - Drill hole BPU-022 intersected 247 meters of apparent width with 254 gpt AgEq, with true width estimated at approximately 400 meters wide and up to 100 meters high in some areas [10][15]. - The Manto Pitarrilla structure showed high-grade intervals, including 2,680 gpt silver, 24.03% lead, and 18.90% zinc for 3,987 gpt AgEq over 0.60 meters in hole BPU-022 [4][15]. 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].
