Capstone Copper 2026 Guidance (summary): Capstone expects consolidated copper production of 200,000–230,000 tonnes in 2026, with C1 cash costs of US$2.45–2.75 per payable pound. It plans about US$270M in sustaining capex, US$225M in expansionary capex, plus US$70M for exploration. The outlook reflects largely stable output year-over-year and supports growth projects like Mantoverde Optimized and Santo Domingo.
Alamos Gold reported a 32% increase in global proven and probable gold mineral reserves to ~15.9 M oz, led by a 125% jump at Island Gold.

Kingsmen Resources plans step-out and deeper drilling at its Las Coloradas high-grade silver project and initial diamond drilling at the Almoloya gold-silver project in Chihuahua, Mexico, after closing a bought-deal financing that fully funds its 2026 exploration programs.

Work includes plant upgrades, tailings handling, crushers, mills, and expanded mining fleet.
