Silver Storm Mining has officially launched a 6,000-metre underground drilling campaign at its wholly owned La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex in Mexico, a strategic move aimed at unlocking new mineral resources beneath the existing workings.
Located roughly 76 kilometres southeast of Durango State, the complex includes 40 adjacent mining concessions, all reported to be in good standing, covering an expansive 38,128 hectares.
The programme will focus specifically on three high-priority targets, the Quebradillas, San Marcos, and Rosarios mines, each selected based on previous drilling results and geological modelling that suggests significant potential for silver-lead-zinc mineralization at depth and along strike.
By concentrating the 6,000 metres of underground drilling within these key zones, Silver Storm aims to upgrade existing inferred resources, test for extensions beyond known ore bodies, and gather critical data to support a future resource update.
The underground approach allows for more precise, cost-effective targeting compared to surface drilling, reducing deviation and improving core recovery in structurally complex areas.
Success at Quebradillas, San Marcos, or Rosarios could substantially extend the mine life of the La Parrilla complex, which has historically produced silver, lead, and zinc from multiple vein systems.
With all concessions in good standing and the campaign now underway, the company is positioning itself to deliver near-term exploration catalysts while demonstrating the deeper potential of this prolific Mexican silver district.
Greg McKenzie, president and CEO of Silver Storm, expressed enthusiasm about the resumption of drilling at La Parrilla. He noted that the initial phase is focused on supporting the current internal mine plan by expanding the indicated and inferred resource base, as the company moves toward a potential restart of operations in the second quarter of 2026.
