Pinnacle Interprets Multiple New Targets from LiDAR Survey at El Potrero

LiDAR Survey Unearths Dozens of New Targets at El Potrero as Pinnacle Eyes District-Scale Potential

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Jan 06, 2026 · 08:30 PINN · 0.16 Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp.
Executive Summary

The news release dated January 6, 2026, details the results of an airborne LiDAR survey conducted over the El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico. Key findings include: - Confirmation of a 1,600-meter known strike length for the Dos de Mayo vein system. - Identification of 64 adits, 6 shafts, and 51 prospecting pits across the property. - Discovery of new structures with artisanal workings, particularly in the northern "El Potrero" block. - Evidence of a buried hydrothermal system in the "Maria Fernanda 2" (MF2) block. - Management’s observation that exploration to date has only addressed approximately 10% of the property’s total area.

Material Impact

The impact of this news is Routine - Positive. While LiDAR data is a powerful exploration tool for "seeing through" vegetation and identifying historical workings, it does not provide grade or width data which are the ultimate drivers of valuation. - Scale Validation: The confirmation of 121 historical workings across the property suggests a much larger footprint than previously modeled, supporting the management’s "district-scale" narrative. - Target Generation: This provides a clear roadmap for the expanded geological team to prioritize surface sampling and future drill targets beyond the immediate mine areas. - De-risking: Identifying "flexures and fault offsets" via LiDAR allows for more precise drill collar placement, potentially reducing "wasted" drill meters in the upcoming program. - Context: This news follows the December 18, 2025, closing of a C$1.06M financing tranche, indicating the company has the immediate funds to begin following up on these targets.
