Pinnacle Silver and Gold strengthens team with Carlos Castro as El Potrero project manager in Mexico

Proactive - Interviews for investors

Pinnacle Silver and Gold CEO Robert Archer joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the appointment of Carlos Castro Villalobos as Project Manager for the company’s El Potrero gold-silver project in Durango, Mexico. The addition of Castro—an accomplished Mining Engineer with more than 45 years of experience building and operating mines across Mexico—marks a major step forward in advancing El Potrero toward production. Castro’s extensive background includes leadership roles with several of Mexico’s most respected mining companies, such as Peñoles, Luismin, Great Panther, and First Majestic Silver. Over his career, he has held senior positions ranging from Mine Superintendent to General Manager, and notably, while with Rochester Resources, he successfully oversaw the construction of a 300-tonne-per-day processing plant in just seven months—a skill set that will be especially valuable as Pinnacle looks to accelerate development at El Potrero. Archer also confirmed that Jorge Ortega, the Qualified Person (QP) for the project and author of the NI 43-101 technical report, continues in his role as Exploration Manager. Ortega is actively supervising a geological team that has already collected more than 1,000 surface and underground samples, significantly enhancing the company’s understanding of the high-grade, low-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver system at the project. Located in western Mexico, El Potrero is strategically positioned just 35 kilometres from four producing mines, including the 4,000-tonne-per-day Ciénega Mine. Pinnacle will earn an initial 50% interest upon the commencement of production, with the potential to increase ownership to 100%, subject to a 2% net smelter return. #proactiveinvestors #pinnaclesilverandgoldcrp #robertarcher #tsxv #pinn #otc #psgcf #PinnacleSilverAndGold #MiningMexico #SilverMining #GoldMining #JuniorMiners #MiningExploration #ElPotrero #MineRestart #PreciousMetals #MiningStocks #ResourceSector
