Mining Forum Americas 2026 summary
28 Sep, 2026Key investment highlights
Located in Idaho's Silver Valley, a prolific region with over 1.2 billion ounces of historical silver production.
Resource quality features high grade, large size, and strong metallurgical recovery potential.
Clear pathway to production by end of 2028, supported by permits, infrastructure, and stakeholder backing.
Significant exploration upside and district-wide growth potential beyond current resource base.
On-site, fully permitted processing facility for silver, antimony, copper, and potentially germanium and gallium.
Resource and production profile
Current S-K 1300 estimate: 264 million ounces silver (104M Indicated at 1,022 g/ton; 160M Inferred at 776 g/ton).
Highest grade silver resource in North America; grades 3x higher than global peers.
24-year mine life with 97% silver recovery rate, based on historical performance.
Targeting average annual production of 6.7 million ounces in first five years, aiming for 16% of U.S. supply.
Feasibility study underway to double mill throughput from 1,000 to 2,000 tons per day.
Strategic initiatives and timeline
Assembling a veteran team with deep Silver Valley experience to drive 2028 production restart.
Plans to expand vertical integration with antimony plant and silver-copper refinery.
Domestic refining is strategic, as most U.S. silver and antimony refining is currently offshore.
