Coeur Mining, Inc. announced the final results of its exchange offer for New Gold’s 6.875% senior notes due 2032, achieving strong participation of about 96.5% of outstanding notes. Approximately $385.8M was exchanged for new Coeur notes plus minor cash consideration, with settlement on April 22, 2026, effectively completing the debt restructuring following its acquisition of New Gold Inc..
Luca Mining reported strong Q1 2026 production from its Mexican operations and significantly improved its financial position. Cash increased to about $36.4M from $25.5M at year-end 2025, driven by operating cash flow and option gains. The company continues to build momentum following its 2025 operational ramp-up and debt reduction.
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.
Santacruz Silver reported Q1 2026 production of 1.34 Moz silver, 21,640 tonnes zinc, plus lead and copper, across Bolivia and Mexico.

The company emphasized reporting actual metal production over equivalent metrics for greater transparency.

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.

Avino Silver & Gold announced its first consolidated mineral reserve estimate, totaling ~127 million silver-equivalent ounces across its Avino, La Preciosa, and Oxide Tailings assets. The update converts ~42% of resources to reserves, supports decades of mine life, and highlights a 9% increase in resources, reinforcing growth potential and advancement toward mid-tier producer status.
