AGX · Price

Executive Summary

  • Silver X Mining Corp. has launched a 40,000-metre diamond drill program, the largest in the company's history, funded by recent bought deal financing proceeds.
  • The company is targeting a production increase of at least 40%, aiming to reach 1,000 tonnes per day by Q2 2026, which would double current output.
  • Strategic initiatives include the "Plan 100" cost reduction target of $100/tonne and exploration of high-grade satellite targets (RedSilver and Tangana West) to support long-term expansion toward a 3,000-tonne-per-day processing capacity.

Key Details

  • Drill Program: Launch of a 40,000-metre diamond drill campaign focused on expanding and upgrading resources at the Nueva Recuperada district in Huancavelica, Peru.
  • Funding: The program is supported by proceeds from a recently completed bought deal financing.
  • Production Targets:
    • Current output is set to double, targeting 1,000 tonnes per day by Q2 2026.
    • The processing plant is undergoing permit adaptations to allow operation at up to 1,000 tonnes per day.
    • Long-term vision includes a 3,000-tonne-per-day processing capacity (outlined in the September 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment).
    • Full expansion is expected to produce over 6.2 million ounces of silver (AgEq) annually.
  • Cost Efficiency: Implementation of "Plan 100," aiming for combined operating and sustaining costs of $100 (U.S.) per tonne to position Silver X among Latin America's lowest-cost silver producers.
  • Exploration Focus:
    • Drilling will test high-grade satellite targets, specifically RedSilver and Tangana West.
    • Identified grades at these targets range from 15 to 20 ounces per tonne, representing potential near-term production opportunities.
    • Objectives include increasing mineral resources, upgrading classifications, enhancing grade continuity, and identifying new high-grade silver zones.
  • Operational Improvements:
    • Acceleration of underground infrastructure projects, including new ventilation systems and improved mine access.
    • Contractor-supported equipment upgrades to enhance safety, productivity, and efficiency.
    • Continued emphasis on selectivity, dilution control, and grade improvement to drive stronger cash flow and higher operating margins.
  • Qualified Person: A. David Heyl, BSc, CPG, has reviewed and approved the technical content.
