VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA TheNewswire - April 17, 2025 (TSXV: PINN, OTC: NRGOF, Frankfurt: X6C) Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp. (" Pinnacle " or the " Company ") is pleased to provide an update on progress at the recently acquired high-grade gold-silver El Potrero property in Durango, Mexico (see Pinnacle news releases dated February 24 and 25, 2025 ).
Phase I field work commenced within a week of signing the Definitive Agreement and is progressing well. Surface mapping has extended the vein system along strike to the northwest for approximately 1,100 metres from the Dos de Mayo Mine and 46 samples have been taken for analyses. Cleaning of the underground workings at the historic Pinos Cuates, La Dura and Dos de Mayo Mines has been completed, and the Pinos Cuates Mine has been mapped and sampled, with 86 samples being taken of the vein system as it is exposed underground. All 132 samples have been submitted to the SGS lab in Durango City.
In addition, access roads to the project and up to the mine portals have been cleared. The plant has been almost completely cleaned up, and an inspection is being planned to assess the approximate cost and schedule to get it ready for production again.
"We are very pleased with the progress our team has been making on site in the short time we have been on the property," stated Robert Archer, Pinnacle's President & CEO. "Our geological crew has established themselves in the nearby village of Manzanillas, only three kilometres away and we are already providing much needed jobs for the local people. As such, community relations are starting out on a positive note. Having said that, the plant and mines sit on private property such that permitting should be easier when the time comes. Going forward, underground mapping and sampling at the historic La Dura and Dos de Mayo mines will continue and surface mapping will focus on the southeastern extension of the vein system and identifying parallel or splay veins along the entire strike length."
Surface mapping to date has identified the dominant lithologies as comprising an andesitic volcanic sequence with alternating flows and breccias. The units belong to the upper part of the Lower Volcanic Series, the preferred and most common host for gold and silver mineralization in the Sierra Madre Belt. There is a strong northwest-southeast structural trend hosting the vein system at El Potrero that parallels the regional trend of the Sierra Madre. To date, several sub-parallel veins have been identified on the southwest side of the Pinos Cuates mine, indicating that the vein system is at least 125 metres wide at this locality. Vein widths have been measured as ranging from 0.50 metres on surface up to 7 metres underground at Pinos Cuates.
Most of the samples taken at the historic Pinos Cuates Mine consist of vein breccia with angular clasts of variable composition, clasts of colloform quartz, chalcedonic quartz, and bands of opaque quartz with a black mineral, thought to be ginguro (very fine grained silver-gold mineralization). The footwall rocks are andesite with strong chlorite-pyrite alteration, whereas a felsic dike with porphyritic texture has been observed in the hanging wall of the veins both underground and on surface, implying a long and active period of hydrothermal activity.

As reported in Pinnacle news release of March 18, 2025 , preliminary sampling of mineralized veins containing ginguro bands at Pinos Cuates returned an arithmetic average from four chip channel samples of 8.04 g/t gold (Au) and 146 g/t silver (Ag) ( chip samples, by their nature, are selected samples and may not represent a true reflection of actual grade) , consistent with the historic production grades reported by the vendors, and the historic resource estimate of 45,561 tonnes at 8.0 g/t Au and 186 g/t Ag . These resources are historical in nature and Pinnacle is not treating these estimates as current mineral resources as a qualified person on behalf of Pinnacle has not done sufficient work to classify them as current mineral resources.

Once assays are received (approximately 3 weeks), results will be interpreted in the context of the mapping in order to determine the structural controls on gold-silver mineralization, as the highest grades tend to occur in ‘shoots'. Once these are better defined, a diamond drilling program can be planned to systematically test these areas for continuity.
Preliminary discussions are underway with geophysical contractors regarding the flying of a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey over the entire property. LiDAR is a remote-sensing and laser technology that ‘sees' through overburden and maps out the rock subsurface in a way that allows for the interpretation of structural features that can be important in controlling gold-silver mineralization. This interpretation will also be used in the planning of upcoming drill programs.
In due course, discussions will be held with the federal electrical commission to extend the power line to the plant site, a distance of only about three kilometres.
Pinnacle has granted an aggregate of 500,000 incentive stock options to certain consultants of the Company, pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan and subject to TSXV approval, at a price of $0.05 and expiring on April 17, 2030. The incentive stock options will vest 25% each quarter over a 12-month period.
QA/QC
The technical results contained in this news release have been reported in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). Pinnacle has implemented industry standard practices for sample preparation, security and analysis given the stage of the Project. This has included common industry QA/QC procedures to monitor the quality of the assay database, including inserting certified reference material samples and blank samples into sample batches on a predetermined frequency basis.
The non-systematic chip channel sampling was completed across exposed mineralized structures using a hammer and maul. The protocol for sample lengths established that they were not longer than two metres or shorter than 0.3 metres. The veins tend to be steeply dipping to vertical, and so these samples are reasonably close to representing the true widths of the structures. Samples were collected along the structural strike or oblique to the main structural trend.
All samples were bagged in pre-numbered plastic bags; each bag had a numbered tag inside and were tied off with adhesive tape and then bulk bagged in rice bags in batches not to exceed 40 kg. They were then numbered, and batch bags were tied off with plastic ties and delivered directly to the SGS laboratory facility in Durango, Mexico for preparation and analysis. The lab is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. All Samples were delivered in person by the contract geologist who conducted the sampling under the supervision of the QP.
SGS sample preparation code G_PRP89 including weight determination, crushing, drying, splitting, and pulverizing was used following industry best practices where all samples were crushed to 75% less than 2 mm, riffle split off 250 g, pulverized split to >85% passing 75 microns (μm). All samples were analyzed for gold using code GA_FAA30V5 with a Fire Assay determination on 30g samples with an Atomic Absorption Spectography finish. An ICP-OES analysis package (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry) including 33 elements and 4-acid digestion was performed (code GE_ICP40Q12) to determine Ag, Zn, Pb, Cu and other elements.
Qualified Person
Mr. Jorge Ortega, P. Geo, a Qualified Person, and independent from Pinnacle, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and the author of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Potrero Project, has reviewed, verified and approved for disclosure the technical information contained in this news release.
About the Potrero Property
El Potrero is located in the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental of western Mexico and lies within 35 kilometres of four operating mines, including the 4,000 tonnes per day (tpd) Ciénega Mine (Fresnillo), the 1,000 tpd Tahuehueto Mine (Luca Mining) and the 250 tpd Topia Mine (Guanajuato Silver).
High-grade gold-silver mineralization occurs in a low sulphidation epithermal breccia vein system hosted within andesites of the Lower Volcanic Series and has three historic mines along a 500 metre strike length. A historic resource based upon underground sampling of those three mines is reported to consist of 45,561 tonnes at 8.0 g/t gold and 186 g/t silver. The property has been in private hands for almost 40 years and has never been drilled or explored by modern methods, leaving significant exploration potential.
A 100 tpd plant on site can be refurbished / rebuilt and historic underground mine workings rehabilitated at relatively low cost in order to achieve near-term production once permits are in place. The property is road accessible with a power line within three kilometres. Surface rights over the plant and mine area are privately owned (no community issues).
Pinnacle will earn an initial 50% interest immediately upon commencing production. The goal would then be to generate sufficient cash flow with which to further develop the project and increase the Company's ownership to 100% subject to a 2% NSR. If successful, this approach would be less dilutive for shareholders than relying on the still challenging equity markets to finance the growth of the Company.

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - April 17, 202 5 Element79 Gold Corp. (CSE: ELEM | FSE: 7YS0 | OTC: ELMGF ) ( the "Company") herein provides an update on the latest community engagement and ongoing development efforts in the Rural Community of Chachas ("Chachas") for its Minas Lucero Project in Arequipa, Peru.
Multi-Stakeholder Meeting in the Chachas on April 12th
As previously outlined in the Company's news release of March 28, 2025 , the Spring General Assembly Meeting took place on April 12, 2025, where Element79 Gold Corp's community relationship development team, GAE Peru, was able to present and discuss upcoming exploration, mill and tailings reprocessing plant development plans, which begin with the completion of long-term surface agreements and Formalization of existing REINFO small-scale mining permits with the Company's mineral leases. These surface rights access contracts, for the Company and all other mining groups working in the Chachas region negotiated and signed with the Chachas community.
Element79 Gold Corp's message and dialogue around collaborative work plans and win-win solutions with the community were once again reiterated and were generally well received; in many cases where there were inquiries or debates around the Company's involvement, it is reported that both the greater community and its leaders reinforced and defended the Company's platform and the benefit of developing a constructive and long-term working relationship together. Dissention against the Company and its plans came primarily from a radical faction of the local artisanal miner's group, Lomas Doradas, where emphatic conversations were drawn out for hours both during and after the General Assembly. Due to these disruptions, no formal agreement for either Element79 Gold Corp or Lomas Doradas was reached at the General Assembly.
The Chachas community leaders and JAL (Junta Administrativa Local, or local community administration board) have agreed to meet again outside of the General Assembly to formally during the week of April 21. The Company will provide further updates and action items in due course following these upcoming meetings.
Commitment to Responsible Mining
Element79 Gold Corp. remains dedicated to transparent dialogue, responsible community and resource development, and long-term profitable and mutually beneficial community partnerships . The Company will continue to provide updates as these initiatives progress.
Evaluating Options
The Company upholds that the Lucero project continues to host significant exploration and production merit as well as it continues to develop increasingly strong community relationships for long-term success.
Due to the ongoing difficulties and delays experienced over the past 15 months, the Company's management and Board of Directors has elected to put Lucero and adjacent projects into a period of review, where with its team and trusted consultants, will evaluate the best ways to proceed with the Lucero project in order to maximize shareholder value.
The Company continues to review near-term producing mining assets in Peru and South America for additional growth opportunities and will provide further guidance on these in due course.
About Element79 Gold Corp.
Element79 Gold Corp. is a mining company focused on exploring and developing its past-producing, high-grade gold and silver project, Lucero , located in Chachas, Arequipa, Peru.

April 17th, 2025 TheNewswire - Vancouver, B.C. Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW) (FSE: A2PEAD) (OTC: OPWEF) (the "Company" or "Opawica"), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on precious and base metal projects in the Abitibi gold belt, provides an update on its 2025 exploration campaign at the Bazooka Property ("Bazooka") .
Blake Morgan, CEO and President of the Company, states: "We're excited about the progress of our ongoing drill program at the Bazooka Property. The results so far have given us a strong understanding of the mineralized system, with multiple holes intersecting broad zones of mineralization, including visible gold. We eagerly await the assay results as we continue to drill the deposit."
Drill hole OP-25-35, with a total depth of 303 metres, intersected a significant 60-metre mineralized zone between 190 m and 250 m. Within this broader interval, a 12-metre section (from 189.8 m to 202.5 m) exhibited strong silicification and sericitization with visible arsenopyrite, with an XRF reading at 196 m of 66 g/t Au . This is followed by a 30.4-metre intermediate zone (202.5 m to 232.9 m) with lower levels of mineralization, followed by a deeper and well mineralized zone (232.9 m to 241.2 m) containing approximately 2% arsenopyrite, with an XRF reading of 234 ppm Au at 249 m.
Between 189.80 m and 202.20 m, the drill hole encountered a yellowish-grey-green rock unit that is intensely silicified and sericitized, with abundant quartz veins and veinlets throughout. A higher concentration of arsenopyrite is observed between 195 m and 196.50 m. An XRF point reading taken at 196 m returned values of 8,514 ppm As, 66 ppm Au, 49 ppm Ni, and 139 ppm Cr.
At 202.20 m -205.50 m is a sericitized sheared Yellowish-green grey rock sericitized shear of veins. The XRF point reading at XRF 204 m: As 47 ppm, Ni 1050 ppm, and Cr 970.
Between 205.50 m and 250 m, the drill hole intersected a fine-grained, greenish-grey rock, possibly containing traces of fuchsite, with an elevated presence of fine arsenopyrite and pyrite mineralization stronger from 235.5 m (2-3%). Moderate silicification is observed throughout the interval, becoming more concentrated from 242 m onward, accompanied by the appearance of small grey quartz veins. The XRF point readings at these various depths are as follows:
219 m: As 398 ppm, Au 10ppm, Ni 797 ppm, and Cr 1986:
234 m: As 872: ppm Au 9 ppm, Ni 792 ppm, and Cr 3424 ppm
243 m: As 792 ppm Au 13 ppm: Ni 650 ppm and Cr 1084 ppm
249 m: As 2.3%, Au 234 ppm: Ni 4129 ppm and Cr 7970 ppm - (234 g/t Au)
1 Part per million (ppm) = 1 Gram/ton (g/ton)
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials such as drill cores. XRF analyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X-ray source. We note the results only provide an indication of the amount of minerals present. Certified assaying of the core samples is required to accurately determine the amount of base metal and precious metal mineralization.
Assay core samples are being analysed at ALS Chemex lab of Rouyn-Noranda, 165 Rue Jacques-Bibeau, Quebec (an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility). The sampling program is undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Mr. Yvan Bussieres, P.Eng., A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. The rock samples will undergo fire assays, 1E3 - Aqua Regia - ICPOES and select samples underwent gravimetries.
Samples of mineralization were taken at 0.5-to-1.5-meter intervals, with sample intervals being adjusted to respect lithological and/or mineralogical contacts and isolate narrow veins or other structures that may yield higher grades. The core was split in two separate sections—one half of the core, the other half was sent for analysis.
Mr. Yvan Bussieres, P.Eng., has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release. The qualified person has been unable to verify the information on the adjacent properties. Mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby and/or geologically similar properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the company's properties

USA News Group News Commentary
Issued on behalf of Rua Gold Inc.
USA News Group News Commentary Since March, the ongoing gold rally has been attracting investors back to mining stocks . As the precious metal reaches record highs, mining stocks have been rising too, defying markets that outside the metal have undergoing turbulence caused by the "Trump Blink" on tariffs . Several miners from juniors to majors have been reporting important progress that's been capturing the market's attention such as Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF), Collective Mining Ltd. (NYSE-American: CNL) (TSX: CNL), Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (NYSE: SAND) (TSX: SSL), New Found Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: NFGC) (TSXV: NFG), and Meridian Mining UK Societas (TSX: MNO) (OTCQX: MRRDF).
The article continued: After gold prices soared past $3,200 this month, analysts at UBS and Deutsch Bank have increased their projections for the precious metal to $3,500 and $3,700 respectively. As macroeconomic risks continue to rise, strategists are highlighting how gold prices have gone parabolic , and how to prepare for what's next.
Rua Gold reports improving gold grades with depth on the Reefton Project's Auld Creek gold-antimony project
Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) , today announced an update to its gold-antimony exploration on its Auld Creek project, Reefton on the South Island of New Zealand ; reporting improving gold grades from current drilling in diamond drillholes ACDDH026, ACDDH027, ACDDH028.
Highlights:
Gold equivalent (AuEq) calculated as Au g/t + 4.3 × Sb%, using spot prices and 85% recovery with ~30% discount applied.
Surface soil geochemistry strongly endorses extensions to the Fraternal north prospect and Bonanza northeast prospect, confirming the system is traceable over a 2.5km length.
"It is encouraging to see an improvement in gold grades with depth on the Fraternal lode, and the continuation of high-grade antimony accompanying the gold in narrow plunging shoots," said Robert Eckford , CEO of Rua Gold . "Drilling to date on Auld Creek antimony-gold prospect has improved confidence in the existing gold-antimony resource and provided detail on higher grade plunging shoots open to the south. We are focused on expanding the Auld Creek resource north and south, with intensified surface exploration showing early promise assisting in targeting additional mineralization over its 2.5km length."
GLOBAL SUPPLY AND VALUE OF ANTIMONY
Antimony is a critical metalloid primarily sourced from the mineral, stibnite. It is highly valuable and increasing in demand due to its versatility and has essential applications across renewable energy, liquid battery metals, defence and technological sectors.
Due to its limited supply, predominantly controlled by China, Russia & Tajikistan , antimony is considered a strategic material essential for supply chain security, particularly during periods of geopolitical instability. This was heightened in August 2024 , when China announced export controls on processed antimony products. In response to these controls, nations have accelerated their efforts to secure alternative sources of antimony to mitigate the risk of significant supply chain vulnerabilities.
The US, EU, UK, Japan , Canada and Australia all designate antimony as a critical mineral. On January 31, 2025 , New Zealand also announced their Critical Mineral List which included antimony.
Reflecting heightened demand, the price of antimony has reached new highs, currently trading over US$50,000 per tonne, a significant increase from US$11,350 per tonne at the start of 2024. This market shift has intensified interest in the strategic antimony potential held by Rua Gold .
EXPLORATION POTENTIAL
Rua Gold commenced drilling at Auld Creek in December 2024 . It has a targeted program to drill four mineralised shoots identified from historical surface exploration work interpreted by the Rua Gold team over the past 3 months.
Auld Creek is situated between two past producing mines, Globe Progress mine, and the Crushington Group of mines which collectively produced 933,000oz at 14.0g/t Au (Barry 1993). Auld Creek has three historic adits but no commercial production from the reefs.
Rua Gold has an inferred resource indicating 700,000 tonnes at 3.1g/t Au and 1.1% Sb for 67,000oz of gold and 8,000 tonnes of antimony 1 (AuEq 110,000oz 2 ). The resource is restricted to two of the four known shoots. Soil geochemistry indicates the potential for discovery of additional mineralised shoots over a strike length of 2.5km.
Four of the eight holes completed to date intersected 4- 5m of strong visible stibnite (antimony sulfide) mineralization in the Fraternal-Bonanza structure.
Results from ACDDH024, ACDDH025 confirm the approximate average gold grades, but report higher antimony grades than the current resource estimate. Results from ACDDH027, ACDDH028 highlight above average gold grades with narrow but high-grade antimony in ACDDH028.
Ongoing drilling is targeting the southern plunging Fraternal gold-antimony shoot which remains open along strike and at depth.
Intensified surface exploration is showing very encouraging strong trends both north and north-west confirming additional targets on the Fraternal North and Bonanza north-west extensions.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:
Collective Mining Ltd. (NYSE-American: CNL) (TSX: CNL) continues to hit high-grade gold at its Apollo system in Colombia , with the latest hole intersecting 114.5 metres at 5.00 g/t gold equivalent within a broader 263.85-metre zone at 3.10 g/t. This expands the first high-grade sub-zone by 70 vertical metres and confirms strong continuity.
"Drilling continues to successfully intercept high-grade gold in the first of eleven potential high-grade sub-zones modelled by our technical team within the top 1,000 vertical metres of the Apollo system," said Ari Sussman , Executive Chairman of Collective Mining . "If drilling continues to intersect high grades as new sub-zone targets are tested, the impact on the block model grade and inventory could be materially significant."
Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (NYSE: SAND) (TSX: SSL) recently reported record preliminary Q1 revenue of $50.1 million and total sales-related income of $54.1 million , driven by 18,500 attributable gold equivalent ounces sold. The company achieved record cash operating margins of $2,507 per ounce and repurchased $19 million worth of shares.
Sandstorm also saw the Hod Maden joint venture approve up to $100 million in early-stage development spending for 2025, with a focus on critical infrastructure like roads and tunnels.
The project remains on track for first gold production in 2028, where Sandstorm holds both a 2% royalty and a 20% gold stream.
New Found Gold Corp. (NYSE-American: NFGC) (TSXV: NFG) recently filed its first resource estimate for the Queensway Project in Newfoundland , outlining 2.0 million ounces of gold across Indicated and Inferred categories. A fully funded Preliminary Economic Assessment is underway and expected in late Q2 2025.
"As a mining engineer with 40 years of experience in development and operations, much of which was spent working on projects with parallels to Queensway, I can see the unique opportunity we have at New Found Gold ," Keith Boyle , CEO of New Found Gold . "We are rapidly advancing with the PEA, while at the same time continuing to explore our highly prospective landholdings targeting additional discoveries similar to Keats and Iceberg."
Meridian Mining UK Societas (TSX: MNO) (OTCQX: MRRDF) recently drilled into a high-grade gold-bearing VMS system at Santa Helena, returning up to 33.4 metres at 2.0 g/t AuEq and 13.1 metres at 4.2 g/t AuEq near surface. The deposit remains open for expansion, with recent holes suggesting historical drilling significantly underestimated its size.
"The mineralization at both ends of Santa Helena remains open for extensions and more drilling is needed to close-off and in-fill this system," said Gilbert Clark , CEO of Meridian . "I believe that by combining this growth at Santa Helena with the exciting Santa Fé discovery the potential for a future second mining Hub centred on Santa Helena is apparent."
A new copper-gold soil anomaly at Santa Fé, just 5 km away, hints at additional growth potential. Combined with the strong PFS results at Cabaçal, Santa Helena could become a second key production hub for the company.
