RSS SubscribeVancouver, BC, October 22, 2026 – Mercado Minerals Ltd. (CSE: MERC, OTCQB: MRMNF) (“Mercado” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce new surface sample results from the Company’s Zamora project in Sinaloa, Mexico. The ongoing program is focused on verifying historic high-grade results reported by previous operators at the Campanillas – La Franca Vein* and expanding the known zone of mineralization along strike. Sampling at the Campanillas – La Franca Vein returned 0.40 metres of 1615 g/t silver and 1.77 g/t gold (1605 g/t AgEq1), while reconnaissance exploration across the concessions returned initial high-grade results from the El Triunfo Vein, including 1075 g/t silver and 1.14 g/t gold (1078 g/t AgEq) from a grab sample.
Daniel Rodriguez, CEO & Director, commented:
“Our continued exploration efforts at Zamora are being rewarded. Our follow-up work at the Campanillas – La Franca Vein continues to extend the strike of that mineralized structure with additional high-grade results while we have been able to take the El Triunfo Vein from a single old working to over 180 metres of strike length so far including a high-grade result of 0.40 metres of 558 g/t silver and 3.52 g/t gold (773 g/t AgEq) and a grab sample from the stockpile outside the workings of 1075 g/t silver and 1.14 g/t gold (1078 g/t AgEq). Our initial look at the Aguamitas and Periguete Veins have also returned encouraging results. All of this confirms our belief that the Zamora Project is highly prospective for silver – gold vein mineralization and is extremely under explored. We look forward to the first ever drill testing of these targets in the coming weeks.”
