Pacifica Silver Intercepts Up to 1,258 g/t AgEq, Extends Vein 150 m Down-Dip
Pacifica Silver's Phase II drilling at Claudia yielded mineralization in 14 of 16 holes, extending the Aguilareña vein down-dip by up to 150 metres over a 1.9 km strike. Highlights include intercepts of 1,258 g/t AgEq over 0.35 m and 1,100 g/t AgEq over 3.05 m.
1. Phase II Program and Overall Results
Pacifica Silver’s Phase II drilling at Claudia is a fully funded 20,000 metre diamond drill program that commenced mid-January 2026 and has drilled 9,918 metres across 38 holes to date. Fourteen of the first 16 holes intersected silver-gold mineralization, extending the Aguilareña vein by up to 150 metres along a 1.9 km strike.
2. Aguilareña Area High-Grade Intercepts
Targeted down-dip and lateral drilling in the Aguilareña area achieved multiple high-grade intercepts, including 1,258 g/t AgEq over 0.35 metres in hole 26CLAU068D and 1,100 g/t AgEq over 3.05 metres in hole 26CLAU076D (including 10.3 g/t Au and 214 g/t Ag). Hanging-wall veins also delivered significant grades, such as 11.75 g/t Au and 52 g/t Ag in hole 26CLAU078D.
3. Central Vein Extension and Next Steps
The first Central vein test hole returned 2.7 metres averaging 1.71 g/t Au and 124 g/t Ag, including 4.44 g/t Au and 324 g/t Ag over 0.6 metres, confirming robust continuity beyond historical intercepts. Further drilling will focus on expanding high-grade zones and delineating vein networks across the Claudia project.
