Pinnacle Silver and Gold presents a compelling investment opportunity in the precious metals sector as it continues to advance its flagship high-grade El Potrero project in Mexico and its Red Lake, Ontario assets. The company’s proven business model focuses on rapidly reactivating past-producing mines to generate early cash flow, while simultaneously exploring for district-scale potential, offering a strong value proposition in a bullish gold-silver environment.
Focused on silver and gold projects in the Americas, Pinnacle is strategically placed to capitalize on the growing demand for these valuable resources. Its core projects include the high-grade El Potrero gold-silver project in Mexico, and the Argosy gold mine and North Birch gold project in Ontario’s Red Lake District – each offering near-term development potential and strong exploration upside.
Pinnacle’s current flagship project, El Potrero, is located within the Sierra Madre Gold Silver Trend.
The company’s investment appeal stems from several key factors:
The company’s business strategy involves the acquisition of past-producing mines that can be put back into production quickly to generate cash flow. By focusing on high-grade, underground mines, Pinnacle can leverage low capex, a smaller operational footprint, easier and faster permitting process and protection against metal price volatility. At the same time, the company conducts brownfield exploration for resource expansion, increasing its potential for district-scale discovery.
Pinnacle’s emphasis on creating shareholder value is evident in its approach to project selection and development. The company’s portfolio is carefully curated to balance near-term production potential with long-term growth prospects, offering investors exposure to both immediate returns and future upside.
El Potrero is a high-grade, past-producing gold-silver project located in the prolific Sierra Madre Belt in Mexico, within 35 km of four operating mines, including Fresnillo’s 4,000 tpd Ciénega Mine. The project comprises two concession blocks totaling 1,074 hectares, which include the historic mines and a 100 tpd on-site processing plant.
Recent Developments (as of July 2025):
Pinnacle can earn an initial 50 percent interest upon production and increase its ownership of El Potrero to 100 percent subject to a 2 percent NSR, primarily through cash flow-funded payments, offering a low-dilution path to full ownership.
Located within the Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt in Ontario’s Red Lake District, and approximately 10 km from First Mining’s Springpole deposit, the Argosy gold mine produced 101,875 ounces at 12.7 g/t gold from 1931 to 1952. Pinnacle owns 100 percent of the project, subject to a 2.5 percent NSR.
Exploration Highlights:
Located 4 km from the Argosy Mine, North Birch is a 3,850-hectare grassroots project with major upside. The property lies in an underexplored section of the Birch-Uchi Belt and covers a folded and sheared iron formation, interpreted as analogous to Newmont’s Musselwhite Mine.
