Zacatecas Silver Corp. (OTCQB: ZCTSF) reported promising results from its initial diamond drilling program at the Panuco Central Vein and Tres Cruces Vein in Vancouver, BC. High-grade intercepts were identified, including 2.17 m at 823 g/t Ag Eq (798 g/t Ag and 0.34 g/t Au) from hole PAN 2021-009. The drilling program comprised 4 holes in the Panuco Central and 9 in Tres Cruces, with three holes showing silver-gold mineralization. Assay results for additional holes are pending, indicating strong exploration potential due to the shallow depth of mineralization and the significant overall length of the vein system.
Zacatecas Silver Corp. (OTC Markets: ZCTSF) has updated its diamond drilling program at the Panuco deposit. Highlights include the completion of 4 angled drill holes totaling 1,088 meters, all intercepting visible quartz-sulphide mineralization.

Zacatecas Silver has received promising preliminary metallurgical test results for its Panuco project from SGS Minerals. The tests indicate recovery rates of over 90% for gold, silver, lead, and zinc from a 100 kg historical drill core sample. Notably, the bulk flotation flow-path produced a rougher concentrate with 697 g/t silver and 0.97 g/t gold, achieving recoveries of 96.2% silver and 93.6% gold. The company plans to optimize these processes further, aiming to enhance both precious and base metal recoveries from its silver-rich, base metal-poor mineralization.
Zacatecas Silver Corp. (OTC: ZCTSF) announced the completion of geological mapping of the San Manuel Vein System, revealing multiple silver-base metal mineralized veins over a 3 km strike length. Eight vein sets have been defined, suggesting potential drill targets due to their undrilled nature.
