en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian mining company Mercado Minerals Ltd. has announced outstanding results from the first 3,000-meter diamond drilling program at its Copalito project in Sinaloa, Mexico. The company stated that recent drilling activities have confirmed the continuity and high grade of polymetallic mineralization in the evaluated structures.

Specifically, hole COP-26-012 drilled on the El Agua vein intersected a 3.50-meter interval grading 30 g/t silver, 1.94 g/t gold, 9.47% lead, and 14.61% zinc, for a silver equivalent grade of 686 g/t. This interval includes a 1.20-meter high-grade sub-interval grading 34 g/t silver, 3.40 g/t gold, 19.00% lead, and 21.00% zinc, with a silver equivalent grade of 1,120 g/t, opening a promising new area for future exploration phases, as the structure remains open in all directions.

Drilling on the 5 Señores vein has been successfully completed, extending the vein's production length to approximately 800 meters along strike and 125 meters vertically. In this area, hole COP-26-014 intersected a broad structural zone, yielding a 24.20-meter mineralized section grading 114 g/t silver and 0.50 g/t gold, including a 2.10-meter sub-interval grading 569 g/t silver and 1.43 g/t gold. Additionally, surface work has identified an auxiliary fault extending 250 meters to the southeast, with laboratory analysis results pending.

CEO Daniel Rodríguez expressed satisfaction with the progress, noting that drilling advances on the 5 Señores and El Agua veins position the company to demonstrate the critical mass of productive structures. Currently, the company continues testing on the El Pilar vein and conducting preliminary evaluations of the newly discovered Pilar Sur and El Medio veins.
