About the Panuco project

The newly consolidated Panuco silver-gold project is an emerging high-grade discovery located in southern Sinaloa, Mexico, near the city of Mazatlan. The 7,189.5-hectare, past-producing district benefits from over 86 kilometres of total vein extent, 35 kilometres of underground mines, roads, power and permits.

The district contains intermediate- to low-sulphidation epithermal silver and gold deposits related to siliceous volcanism and crustal extension in the Oligocene and Miocene. Host rocks are mainly continental volcanic rocks correlated to the Tarahumara formation.

The Panuco project hosts an estimated in situ indicated mineral resource of 104.8 million ounces silver equivalent and an in situ inferred resource of 114.1 Moz AgEq. An updated National Instrument 43-101 technical report titled "Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the Panuco Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Project, Sinaloa State, Mexico" was filed on SEDAR+ on March 10, 2023, with an effective date of Jan. 19, 2023, was prepared by Dr. Allan Armitage, PhD, PGeo, Ben Eggers, MAIG, PGeo, and Yann Camus, PEng, of SGS Geological Services.
