Since 2015 Miguel Heredia and I have published the weekly newsletter ‘The Mining and Exploration News in Mexico’. It has been a very rewarding experience and we have learnt a lot in the process on Mexico and on the global mining industry. Although a pro-bono project, the previous format consumed a lot of time. We realized we could not keep reasonably doing this task in the same manner when recently had to put more than 10 hours in the week for producing the newsletter, while doing long hours on project work at the same time. To sustain this contribution, we are introducing a new, streamlined format with all the key mining activity in Mexico, with links to all the original press releases and sources. It is our intention to continue serving the industry as long as it remains fun and rewarding as it has been so far.
During the 12th week of the year (March 16th to March 22nd, 2026), companies working in Mexico released 32 press releases. Four companies informed on early-stage property work, four more presented quarterly and/or full-year 2025 reports. Three companies updated on financing rounds/movements, another is not proceeding with a financing round and one more is to list in the OTCQB.

ON EXPLORATION
Colibri Resource Corporation retained CANMEX Perforaciones y Servicios SA de CV to conduct its next phase of drilling at the EP project in Sonora. The program will be focused on the undrilled San Perfecto and Banco de Oro target areas.
Kenadyr Metals Corp., provided an update on its Adelita copper-gold-silver project in Sonora. The company is preparing to commence Phase 1 exploration activities, including drilling and detailed geophysical surveys at the Cerro Grande skarn zone, following receipt of all necessary permits, including a 20-year mining license. The deal with Infinitum Copper (80%) and Minaurum Gold (20%) is basically done; just waiting on final TSXV approval, and financing is almost wrapped up with a last tranche expected soon. Overall, the project is positioned for active exploration with long-term development potential.
Advance Metals Limited confirmed high grade silver-gold in previously unsampled core at its Yoquivo project. More than 6,300m of unsampled core in the Pertenencia Zone has been identified, representing greater than 50% of the historic drilling completed. First batch of sample results comprising 222.7m of core across 11 holes in the southern portion of Pertenencia Zone has confirmed the untested potential, returning grades of up to 370g/t Ag & 6.2g/t Au. Sampling from holes drilled in 2022 include holes YQ-022-025 with 480 g/t AgEq over 2.05m, including 848 g/t AgEq over 1.1m, and hole YQ-022-002 with 115 g/t AgEq over 4.45m, including 249 g/t AgEq over 0.95m. Multiple additional batches of previously untested core are currently awaiting assay results.
Mithril Silver and Gold Limited provided exploration results and an update for multiple targets at its Copalquin project. Target 5 in the southwest area of Copalquin, which is still in the early stages of exploration but showing great promise that could significantly impact the district´s resource potential, returned impressive silver-gold drill intercepts, including a standout hit of 1,714 g/t AgEq over 1m. Drilling highlights include hole AP25-003 with 2.28 g/t Au and 500 g/t Ag (660 g/t AgEq) over 2.75m, including 5.8 g/t Au and 1,308 g/t Ag (1,714 g/t AgEq) over 1m; hole AP25-005 with 1.71 g/t Au and 246 g/t Ag (366 g/t AgEq) over 3.35m, including 5.35 g/t Au and 771 g/t Ag (1,146 g/t AgEq) over 1.05m; and hole AP25-006 with 4.55 g/t Au and 409 g/t Ag (728 g/t AgEq) over 1,25m, plus 2.41 g/t Au and 447 g/t Ag (616 g/t AgEq) over 0.90m, plus 1.51 g/t Au and 321 g/T AgEq) over 0.80m. To date, 13 drilled holes have been completed at Target 5 with assay results received for the first eight holes. On the other hand, channel sampling at Tasolera mine returned high grade results, including 2 g/t Au and 3,300 g/t Ag (3,440 g/t AgEq) over 1.4m. This target is
rapidly emerging as a major silver zone. Only around 5% of the related vein system has been tested so far, meaning there´s plenty more ground to cover. Ongoing exploration mapping and channel sampling is on progress to expand its footprint. At Target 3, preparations are underway for drilling, supported by ongoing mapping and sampling efforts. This target is a large, highly prospective gold-silver zone with multiple high-grade surface samples and extensive mapped veins. At Target 1 (El Refugio-La Soledad), which hosts the maiden JORC mineral resource estimate, an ongoing drilling program is underway aiming to expand this existing resources by testing its western extensions and deep zones. At Target 6, new targets, including old workings have been identified with some recent sampling and mapping, indicating potential for future exploration. In general, drilling keeps revealing solid gold-silver mineralization, and the company is moving fast with more holes planned in multiple areas of the district.

ON EXPLORATION
Tocvan Ventures Corp., reported the early results from a drone magnetic survey at its Gran Pilar Gold-Silver project in Sonora, and announced the discovery of a new target with historic underground workings in the North Alteration Zone.. The survey uncovered a major structural complex in the South Block, spanning approximately 2 by 2.5km. This complex exhibits magnetic signatures suggestive of magmatic activity and correlates strongly with past sampling up to 21.2 g/t Au and over 2,000 g/t Ag. These findings highlight new and expanded exploration targets, especially near areas with historical placer mining, and support the potential for deeper mineralization. The survey results validate geological models and provide a clear pathway for upcoming drill programs to evaluate the project’s mineral resources further. Tocvan also reported that it uncovered a new mineralized zone with 80m exposed section of old underground workings within the North Alteration Zone, with waste piles of silicified vein breccia material, and intense phyllic and argillic alteration. This zone features historic underground workings and extensive alteration patterns of approximately 3.2km long, indicating significant mineralization potential. Initial sampling has returned promising high-grade results for gold and silver, and the company plans to conduct further trenching, detailed mapping, and drilling to explore this largely underexplored area.
Pacifica Silver Corp., identified new high-priority drill targets based on assay results from 325 surface rock chips samples collected at its Claudia project in Durango. These samples yielded results up to 23.6 g/t Au and 480 g/t Ag confirming that the high-grade Au-Ag mineralization at the property is more extensive than previously recognized and may extend further south for another 300m towards the Mina de Oro vein system. Rock chips sample highlights include 111.2 g/t Au and 17 g/t Ag; 7.15 g/t Au and 143 g/t Ag; 2.74 g/t Au and 404 g/t Ag; 3.33 g/t Au and 311 g/t Ag; 2.03 g/t Au and 312 g/t Ag; 0.39 g/t Au and 408 g/t Ag; 1.83 g/t Au and 230 g/t Ag; and 2.19 g/t Au and 190 g/t Ag. The areas around Veta Justina and Mina Vieja are now considered new high-priority targets for drilling. The company also commenced a Phase I drill program, which aims to delineate and expand known mineralization at the northern extension of the Aguilareña, Guadalupana, and Veta Central veins and to drill high-priority, previously undrilled targets at the Mark Twain, Veta West and Veta Justina areas. To date it has completed 647m of drilling across the first three holes. Pacifica Silver plans to apply for permits to drill new targets as part of the program.

ON RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT
Southern Silver Exploration Corp.,initiated a drilling program at the Puro Corazon mine, which is adjacent to its 100% owned Cerro Las Minitas project in Durango, Mexico. Current development at the mine extends for approximately 200m laterally and to 250m below surface. The exploration program aims to integrate the nine-hectare Puro Corazon claim into the larger project and includes up to 12,000 meters of core drilling using three drill rigs. Drilling will test the further projections of the mined mineralization both laterally for an additional 200m and to depths of up to 450 metres below surface where the mineralization then transitions across the claim boundary and into the modelled Skarn Front deposit. Drilling will also target the projection of up to six hangingwall structures identified outboard of the main mineralized Skarn Front zone which was previously identified in both historic drilling within the Puro Corazon claim and in Southern Silver’s own drilling outside the claim boundary. The program will also compile existing geological data, conduct new sampling in historic underground workings, and perform a LiDAR survey to assess the extent of underground mining. Currently, the Puro Corazon mine is privately operated, producing approximately sixty tonnes of ore per day, generating silver-lead and zinc concentrates. The drilling will target lateral projections of mineralization and depths of up to 450 meters below the surface, focusing on six identified hangingwall structures. Results from this drilling will be incorporated into an updated Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
