The latest announcement is out from Zacatecas Silver ( (TSE:ZAC) ).

Zacatecas Silver reported assay results from 124 rock-chip grab samples collected from waste dumps around 11 shallow historical shafts at its El Cristo project in Mexico. The work targeted multiple veins over roughly 1.2 to 1.5 kilometers of strike, confirming near-surface silver and base metal mineralization typical of intermediate sulphidation vein systems.

Twenty-nine samples returned silver-equivalent grades above 100 g/t, including a peak value of 670 g/t Ag Eq and notable gold, lead, zinc, and copper values, even though the material was historically considered low grade waste. The results provide important guidance for the company’s upcoming diamond drilling program, helping refine shallow drill targets and underscoring the potential scale and grade of the El Cristo vein system for investors and other stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:ZAC) stock is a Hold with a C$0.11 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Zacatecas Silver stock, see the TSE:ZAC Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ZAC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ZAC is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held back by a development-stage financial profile with no revenue, ongoing losses, and persistent cash burn (continued funding risk). This is partially offset by a strong, debt-free balance sheet and some improvement in cash outflows versus last year. Technicals are neutral-to-cautious with muted momentum, while valuation is constrained by a negative P/E and no dividend support.
