Fresnillo reported weaker 2025/quarterly production due to lower ore grades, reduced throughput, and operational constraints at key mines, partly offset by improvements at Juanicipio and Saucito. Silver output was broadly stable year-over-year, while gold declined. The company lowered 2026 production guidance, citing mine plan changes and earlier extraction, but expects recovery from 2027 onward.
J2 Metals extended the closing deadline for the remaining tranche(s) of its $1.5 million flow-through financing to April 30, 2026. The first tranche raised $478,000 at $0.35 per subscription receipt. Net proceeds will advance exploration at the Miniac Project in Québec and support general corporate purposes.
Santacruz Silver reported Q1 2026 production of 1.34 Moz silver, 21,640 tonnes zinc, plus lead and copper, across Bolivia and Mexico. Silver output remained stable quarter-over-quarter, supported by a 28% increase at the Bolivar mine as recovery from 2025 flooding progresses. The company emphasized reporting actual metal production over equivalent metrics for greater transparency.
Silver Bull Resources, Inc. provided an update on its arbitration case against Mexico related to the Sierra Mojada project, with final hearings completed and a decision expected by May 2026. Shareholders re-elected directors with ~98% support and approved auditors with 99.6%, reflecting strong backing despite 24% turnout.
Mammoth Resources received an updated drill quote of US$304/m for its Tenoriba project. Phase 1 proposes 3,000 m in 60 shallow holes at Carneritos for US$910,000, targeting 499,000–531,000 AuEq oz at approximately US$1.71–1.82 per targeted ounce, with the objective of defining a maiden Inferred resource.
Americas Gold & Silver reported record Q1 2026 results, producing 787,000 oz of silver (+76% YoY) and selling 830,000 oz, driven partly by timing of concentrate sales. The company maintains strong liquidity (~$122.6M cash) and plans a major 2026 drill program (~64,000 m) with full-year guidance of 3.2–3.6M oz silver.
Centenario Gold has commenced its initial exploration program at the Los Reyes copper-gold project in Chihuahua, including geological mapping and underground sampling of historic ASARCO workings. The work will define targets for a planned 1,500-metre diamond drilling program, with environmental permitting already underway.
EV Resources has defined a large-scale, shallow carbonate replacement (CRD) antimony system at Los Lirios, with 10 of 11 drill holes intersecting a laterally extensive mineralized limestone unit. High-grade surface samples (up to 30.2% Sb) and strong structural controls indicate significant scale potential, supporting a system-wide target and advancing toward a maiden resource.
Questcorp Mining is advancing Phase 2 exploration at its La Union project in Sonora, following a new sediment-hosted gold discovery (42 m @ 0.3 g/t Au). Work includes geophysics, geochemistry, and mapping across five targets to refine drill sites, with potential for CRD and porphyry systems, supporting a growing pipeline of drill-ready targets.
Sonoro Gold filed an updated PEA for its Cerro Caliche project in Sonora, outlining a 10-year open-pit, heap-leach operation. The study highlights strong economics, including a $360M pre-tax NPV (8%) and 65% IRR, with average annual production of ~46,000 oz AuEq, low initial capex (~$83M), and rapid 1.7-year payback, supporting development potential.
