Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – January 21, 2026) – Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) (“Americas” or the “Company”) a growing North American precious metals and antimony producer, is pleased to announce strong consolidated annual silver (“Ag”) production of 2.65 million ounces for 2025, a 52% increase compared to 2024 attributable production of 1.74 million ounces1. Americas’ Cosalá Operations in Mexico achieved a new annual production record of 1.19 million ounces, driven by a record quarter output of 463,000 ounces for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Paul Andre Huet, Chairman and CEO, commented: “We capped off a highly successful and transformative 2025 with a 52% increase in attributable silver production to 2.65 million ounces – achieved in a robust and rising silver price environment that significantly amplifies the revenue and cash flow benefits of our expanded output.
This was highlighted by the record year at Cosalá, where our team delivered the operation’s best-ever annual and quarterly silver output for USA while at the same time ramping up the new EC 120 Mine to reach commercial production. This is an incredible milestone and a testament to the exceptional execution by our entire team at Cosalá, led by General Manager Gabriel Soto. Congratulations to everyone at the operation for achieving these record-breaking numbers while setting the table for a strong future.
At Galena, consistent productivity gains came alongside our focus on major capital projects and the integration of the newly acquired Crescent Mine. I am proud of our team for embracing major transformational operating initiatives including the re-introduction of long hole stoping, the deployment of an expanded underground mining fleet, and major upgrades at the No. 3 and Coeur shafts to support higher waste development and accelerated mining rates going forward. We recently concluded a planned 10-day shutdown in Q4 2025 to fast-track upgrades by installing a new 2250 HP motor and redundant secondary egress motor at the Coeur shaft – de-risking the operation and further supporting our ambitious growth trajectory. At Crescent, we are off to a running start with major infrastructure and equipment upgrades in place within a few short weeks following the close of the acquisition in December.
Our full-year antimony and copper by-product production from the Galena Complex further demonstrates the value potential of our unique position as the largest active U.S. antimony miner. Beginning January 1, 2026, we will start receiving revenue from these valuable by-products under the new offtake agreement negotiated with Ocean Partners and Teck, as announced in June 2025. The future is very exciting with respect to antimony production as we continue test work initiatives and evaluate numerous pathways to unlock the substantial bi-product antimony value at the Galena Complex. Moving forward, Americas’ is poised to become an industry leader in the nations ongoing efforts to re-establish critical metals security in the United States.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with our first year of transformative operational efforts which has laid the foundation for continued growth in 2026 across Idaho and Mexico.”

The strong production results for 2025 benefited from higher grades mined at Cosalá from the Upper Zone at the San Rafael mine and strong performance at the EC 120 mine, which achieved commercial production on January 1, 2026. The strong results were achieved despite two planned shutdowns at the Galena Complex (10 days in Q3 2025 and 10 days in Q4 2025) to conduct upgrades at the No. 3 and Coeur shafts, respectively, to increase hoisting capacity to support increased production rates going forward. Both of the planned shutdowns were completed ahead of schedule (10 of 14 planned days in Q3 2025 and 10 of 21 planned days in Q4 2025) reflecting strong execution by the projects teams which contributed to the strong production numbers for 2025.

Full-year antimony (“Sb”) and copper (“Cu”) production from the Galena Complex totaled approximately 561,000 pounds and 797,000 pounds, respectively, including 127,000 pounds of antimony and 200,000 pounds of copper in Q4 2025. The Sb:Cu ratio for 2025 averaged approximately 0.7:1, underscoring the predictability and strategic value of Galena’s high-grade silver-copper-antimony tetrahedrite ore.
Americas’ unaudited consolidated cash balance as at December 31, 2025, was approximately US$130 million, an increase of approximately US$90 million compared to September 30, 2025. The increased cash balance was largely driven by the US$132.25 million bought deal private placement financing closed in December 2025, of which US$20 million was used to fund the cash portion of the Crescent Silver Mine acquisition, which also closed in December 2025. America’s is well funded to continue its aggressive growth trajectory in 2026.
