Pacifica Silver Reports Initial Phase II Drill Results at Claudia with Multiple High-Grade Intercepts at the Aguilarena Area

"Pacifica Silver Validates Claudia Vein Continuity Amidst Post-Financing Consolidation"

Executive Summary
  • Pacifica Silver announced assay results from the first 16 holes of its Phase II diamond drilling program at the Claudia Project (Durango, Mexico).
  • Fourteen of 16 holes intersected silver-gold mineralization.
  • Several intercepts exceeded 1,000 g/t AgEq (e.g., Hole 26CLAU074D included 0.50 m @ 840 g/t AgEq; Hole 26CLAU068D intersected 0.35 m @ 1,258 g/t AgEq).
  • Results extend the Aguilareña vein down-dip by up to 150 metres and confirm continuity along a 1.9 km strike length.
  • Phase II is a fully funded 20,000-metre program; 9,918 metres drilled in 38 holes as of release date (mid-January start).
  • AgEq calculation uses US $2,500/oz Gold and US $30/oz Silver.
Material Impact
  • Validation of Capital Allocation: The results confirm the high-grade nature of the Aguilareña vein system previously identified in Phase I (Dec 2025). This validates the $23 million financing closed in January 2026.
  • Expected Progress: As an "Initial" release from a planned 20,000-metre program announced in March 2026, these results are consistent with management's guidance rather than a surprise discovery. The grades (up to ~1,258 g/t AgEq) are comparable to Phase I highs but do not significantly exceed the peak intercepts reported in December 2025 (e.g., Hole 25CLAU039D @ 1,905 g/t Ag).
  • Stock Price Context: The stock has corrected approximately 40% from its December 2025 high ($2.23) to current levels (~$1.32), largely due to the January financing dilution at $1.45/share and broader market conditions. This news serves as a stabilizing factor rather than an immediate re-rating catalyst, as the thesis of a high-grade system was already established in late 2025.
  • Risk Mitigation: Confirming vein continuity down-dip reduces exploration risk for future resource estimation but does not eliminate permitting or execution risks inherent to Mexican jurisdictions.
