[{"type":"text","content":"Pinnacle Samples up to 17.7 g/t Gold on La Estrella Vein and Extends Strike Length of La Dura Vein, Enlarging the Footprint of the Gold-Silver System at El Potrero\n(TheNewswire)\n\n\nVANCOUVER, BRITISH\nCOLUMBIA, January 20, 2026 – TheNewswire\n- (TSXV:\nPINN, OTC: PSGCF, Frankfurt: P9J) – Pinnacle Silver and Gold\nCorp. (\"Pinnacle\" or the\n“Company\") is pleased to announce that surface and underground\nsampling of the Estrella Vein at the high-grade\nEl Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico has confirmed the\npresence of strong gold-silver mineralization in that vein.\n The limited mine workings are 42.5 metres long\nand channel sampling identified two mineralized zones yielding 5.49\ng/t Au and 48 g/t Ag over an average width of 0.72 metres and strike\nlength of 12 metres, and 1.87 g/t Au and 51 g/t Ag over an average\nwidth of 1.1 metres and a strike length of 22.5 metres.  The two\nzones are separated by 18 metres of lower grade material in the adit\nbut could coalesce below this.  Individual samples assayed up\nto 17.7 g/t Au and 24 g/t Ag over 0.5 metres,\n8.77 g/t Au and 32 g/t Ag over 0.5 metres, and 3.51 g/t Au and 196 g/t\nAg over 0.8 metres.  On surface, the vein has\nbeen traced for almost 150 metres along strike and is still open in\nboth directions, reaching a width of 6.0 metres at the northern end of\nthe exposure.  Systematic channel sampling will be conducted in the\ncoming weeks as, to date, grades from surface sampling reached 3.35\ng/t Au and 204 g/t Ag.  \n\n\nFollowing up on the underground channel sampling at the\nhistoric La Dura 2 mine workings that returned 1.98 g/t Au and 98 g/t\nAg along a 12-metre strike length (see Pinnacle News Release of\nNovember 12, 2025), surface sampling\nof the vein has extended the gold-silver mineralization along strike\nsuch that the zone can now be followed for approximately 45 metres.\n Within the seven vein samples taken on surface, assays included 6.89\ng/t Au and 208 g/t Ag over 1.4 metres, 5.95 g/t Au and 185 g/t Ag over\n1.0 metres, 5.75 g/t Au and 230 g/t Ag over 0.7 metres, and 3.39 g/t\nAu and 248 g/t Ag over 1.3 metres.  This additional information will\naid in delineation drilling of La Dura once the surface program\nbegins.\n\n\n“The identification of high grades of gold and silv...
