Mexico’s Best Lead and Zinc Drilling Intercepts, Second Quarter 2026

/ Gambusino Prospector / Leave a comment

Thirteen companies released lead and/or zinc results from fourteen drilling programs in Mexico during the second quarter of 2026. The best results for both lead and zinc come from a volcanogenic massive sulfides (VMS) deposit: Luca Mining’s Campo Morado mine in Guerrero, with a core length interval of 100.70 m averaging 0.7% Pb, 2.6% Zn.

Eight of the twelve properties present intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineralization, including Copalito, Tahuehueto, Zacatecas Silver, San Marcial-Plomosas, Zacualpan, Cruz de Plata, Gavilanes and Alamos Silver. Gran Pilar also displays intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineralization, probably distal to a porphyry copper system. The Claudia project in Durango presents mainly low sulfidation epithermal mineralization, but the intervals here included represent some intermediate sulfidation mineralization. Cerro Las Minitas, Cosalá and La Parrilla can be described as skarn and carbonate replacement systems, the latter presenting also intermediate sulfidation mineralization.

To note is that eleven of the fourteen properties with reported lead-zinc intercepts are localized in only three adjacent states: Sonora, Sinaloa and Durango.
