Hycroft Mining(NASDAQ) HYMC

Hycroft looks for gold and silver in Nevada. It helps find metals needed for jewelry and technology. The company prepares its mine for future production.

Resources in the Ground

• Gold Resources: Measured and indicated mineral resources totaling 16.4 million ounces in Nevada.
• Silver Resources: Measured and indicated mineral resources totaling 562.6 million ounces across 70,671 acres.
• Exploration Drilling: Active program to find high-grade metal zones using core drill rigs.
• Technical Planning: Studies for Pressure Oxidation, which uses heat and pressure to release gold from complex rocks.

Strategic Moves in Nevada

• Filed the 2026 Hycroft TRS in February 2026 to update mineral resource estimates.
• Expanded the 2025-2026 Exploration Drill Program to target high-grade silver systems in the Brimstone and Vortex zones.
