Vancouver, BC, November 5, 2026 – Mercado Minerals Ltd. (CSE: MERC, OTCQB: MRMNF) (“Mercado” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the commencement of the Company’s inaugural 1,500 metre diamond drill program (the “drill program”) at its Zamora project in Sinaloa, Mexico. The Company has contracted HR Drilling, S.A.S. de C.V. to perform the drill program.
Daniel Rodriguez, CEO & Director, commented:
“Commencing drilling at Zamora is an important milestone for Mercado. This is the first drill program ever conducted on the project. Our team has mapped and sampled high-grade silver-gold mineralization at surface along the Campanillas–La Franca and El Triunfo veins, and together with the historic high-grade underground workings, this makes Zamora an attractive area to drill. This program of approximately 12 holes will test those vein segments at depth for the first time. Our goal is to understand the structural controls on the strongest silver-gold mineralization, and what we learn will guide our follow-up drilling. HR Drilling did excellent work for us at Copalito, and we’re pleased to have them back on site at Zamora.”
