# Capitan Expands High-Grade Silver Mineralization to 600 Metres Down-Dip and Announces New CRD Discovery at Cruz De Plata Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/capitan-expands-high-grade-silver-mineralization-to-600-metres-down-dip-and-anno--102d918a-37eb-49b7-abaf-b80b5568454b Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/CAPT.V/press-releases/5948365221492606 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-10-19T06:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-19T06:20:14.131Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-19T06:20:14.131Z - Company: Capitan Silver Corp. - Ticker: CAPT.V - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Durango, Mexico - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Gold, Copper, Lead, Zinc - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-19 06:20:14 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.90 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Capitan Silver Corp. announced impressive drill results from its Cruz de Plata project in Mexico, extending high-grade silver mineralization to 600 metres down-dip, marking the deepest intercept to date. The program also revealed a new Carbonate Replacement Deposit \(CRD\) discovery at depth, characterized by polymetallic mineralization with bonanza silver equivalent grades up to 1,639.3 g/t AgEq over 0.9 metres. These results significantly expand the project's scale and potential, with assays pending for 80 additional drill holes. Reasoning: The drill program successfully extended high-grade silver and base metal mineralization to 600m down-dip, including bonanza AgEq grades up to 1,639.3 g/t over 0.9m. The discovery of CRD mineralization at depth represents a new, high-potential mineralizing event, significantly expanding the project's scale and geological understanding. QA/QC and metal equivalent assumptions are well-disclosed, though a unit mismatch in the AgEq calculation is noted. - Positive factor: Bonanza grades - Positive factor: Significant depth extension - Positive factor: New CRD discovery - Positive factor: Polymetallic mineralization - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Positive factor: Metal equivalent assumptions disclosed - Positive factor: Compositing parameters disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent width only for new discoveries - Negative factor: Metal equivalent calculation unit mismatch Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence No classification tags are available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
