Advance Metals has reported high-grade silver and gold drilling results from the final resource extension holes at its Yoquivo project in Chihuahua, Mexico, reinforcing confidence ahead of the project’s maiden JORC-compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).
The latest drilling in the central Pertenencia area intersected multiple zones of strong silver-gold mineralization, said the miner, highlighting both the scale and continuity of the system and supporting expectations of further resource growth.
Final assays from the program demonstrate broad, vertically extensive mineralization, with standout results from hole YQ-26-020 confirming high-grade mineralization over a substantial downhole zone exceeding 230 meters.
“These final holes represent an excellent result to complete the current phase of drilling at Yoquivo and provide further evidence of the continuity, grade and growth potential of mineralization within the Pertenencia area,” said Advance Metals Managing Director and CEO Dr. Adam McKinnon.
“In particular, YQ-26-020 demonstrates the strength of the system over a substantial downhole zone of more than 230 meters, while YQ-26-021 has returned an exceptional high-grade zone in an area with relatively limited drilling.” The completed drilling program marks a significant milestone for Advance Metals, with all results to be incorporated into an updated geological model. The upcoming MRE will represent the first JORC-compliant resource for Yoquivo and is expected in the coming weeks.
Located within the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental volcanic belt, the Yoquivo project hosts multiple epithermal vein systems with demonstrated strike lengths exceeding 3 km, reinforcing its potential as a significant high-grade silver-gold asset.
