Mexico’s Best Lead and Zinc Drilling Intercepts, Second Quarter 2025

Eight companies released lead and zinc results from their drilling programs in Mexico during the second quarter of 2025. The best results for both lead and zinc are from Endeavour Silver’s Pitarrilla project in Durango, with core length intervals of 72.30 m averaging 0.5% Pb and 247.05 m averaging 2.6% Zn.

Six of the eight properties present intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineralization: Pitarrilla in Durango, Don David in Oaxaca, Alamos Silver in Sonora, Columba in Chihuahua, La Reyna in Nayarit and Zacualpan in Estado de México. Cristina in Chihuahua also displays intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineralization, but probably distal to a porphyry copper system. Finally, Campo Morado in Guerrero is a volcanogenic massive sulfides (VMS) deposit, and the only one without epithermal mineralization.

Of note is that the properties are scattered from the northwest of the country in Sonora and Chihuahua to the south in Oaxaca and Guerrero.
