Highlander’s Corani site build passes 300 workers with substation, camp, and road works on track for first drill results in July.
Highlander Silver Corp. (HSLV) released a photo update highlighting key development milestones at its flagship Corani silver project in Peru. The project has surpassed 300 team members, with an emphasis on local community hiring.
Construction is advancing on multiple fronts, including camp and facility construction, earthworks for site infrastructure and pits, internal road upgrades, external access roadwork, and substation construction. Transmission line construction is set to begin in August, when long-lead-item orders will also be placed. Leadership for Corani is under Carlos Ojeda (VP & GM), bringing extensive Peruvian open-pit experience. The release contains no new financial, resource, or production data.
Highlander Silver Corp. (HSLV) released a routine operational progress update detailing activities already anticipated in its April 2026 portfolio update. The company is currently ramping its workforce, executing earthworks, constructing a camp, and building a substation. These efforts are consistent with the plan to advance the Corani project toward an updated Feasibility Study in Q3 2026 and to release first exploration drill results in July 2026. The release discloses no new material facts or deviations from prior expectations.
Highlander Silver Corp. is a precious metals developer and producer that manages three key assets following its combination with Bear Creek Mining, which closed on February 26, 2026. The transaction added the Corani and Mercedes projects to the company’s portfolio. Management is led by President and CEO Daniel Earle, supported by veteran site leadership for each project.
The Corani Silver Project in Puno, Peru, is described as the largest fully permitted primary silver deposit globally, with community agreements in place. Comprehensive geophysics has been completed, and first exploration drilling in over a decade is currently underway using four rigs. An updated Feasibility Study is due in the third quarter of 2026.
The San Luis Gold-Silver Project in Ancash, Peru, is a high-grade underground operation with Indicated Resources of 356 koz Au @ 24.4 g/t and 8.4 moz Ag @ 579 g/t. The Bonita vein system returned intercepts up to 23.9 m of 20.82 g/t Au. Permitting is set to commence in the first half of 2026, with Phase 2 drilling planned after the rainy season.
The Mercedes Gold-Silver Mine in Sonora, Mexico, is an operating mine that produced 30 koz Au in 2025. Debt and gold stream obligations were eliminated following the Bear Creek combination, allowing cash flow to be reinvested to improve volumes and productivity.
