Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp.
Pinnacle Silver and Gold Corp. (formerly Newrange Gold Corp., renamed April 2024; Vancouver-headquartered, incorporated 2006) is a gold-silver explorer. Its current flagship and near-term-production focus is the high-grade El Potrero gold-silver project in the Sierra Madre Occidental, Durango, Mexico -- an underexplored low-sulphidation epithermal vein system within 35 km of four operating mines (including Fresnillo's Cienega mine). Reopening of historic underground workings has yielded grab samples up to 26.1 g/t Au and 511 g/t Ag; an underground drill program (~2,600m across 112 holes) targets a maiden resource and a preliminary mine plan, with a stated (management, not independently verified) goal of small-scale production by 2027. The company also holds two earlier-stage gold projects in the Red Lake Mining Division, Ontario, Canada, near First Mining Gold's Springpole deposit.

Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: tailings facility, grid power.
Jurisdiction (40%)7/10
Durango, Mexico (Sierra Madre Occidental) -- an established, major Mexican silver-gold mining belt with several nearby operating mines and developed infrastructure, but moderate country-level permitting/regulatory risk relative to Tier-1 jurisdictions.
Infrastructure (40%)7.9/10
A confirmed mill and confirmed road access at El Potrero Project, Durango, Mexico; grid power and tailings facility not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:1/10
Stage: Grassroots Exploration
Feasibility and permitting score 10, where deals cluster, and production 5.5; earlier stages score less, down to 1 at grassroots.
