Americas Gold and Silver Announces Major Milestone with Addition to the GDXJ Junior Gold Miners Index and Provides Notice of Fourth Quarter 2025 Results and Conference Call
Americas Gold and Silver Secures GDXJ Inclusion as Operational Turnaround Gains Institutional Momentum
The most recent news (March 20, 2026) announces the addition of Americas Gold and Silver to the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), effective March 20, 2026. This follows the company's previous inclusion in the Solactive Global Silver Miners Index (SIL) in May 2025. Additionally, the company provided notice for its Q4 and Full Year 2025 financial results conference call scheduled for March 30, 2026. This news comes on the heels of a major exploration update (March 12, 2026) reporting the discovery of ten new high-grade veins at the Galena Complex and the announcement of a record 64,000-meter drill program for 2026.
- Liquidity and Institutional Demand: Inclusion in the GDXJ is a significant milestone for a junior/mid-tier miner. It forces passive fund buying and increases the stock's visibility to global institutional investors. This provides a "floor" for liquidity that was previously absent.
- Validation of Growth Strategy: The inclusion confirms that the company has met the market capitalization and liquidity thresholds required by major indices, validating the aggressive recapitalization and consolidation strategy led by CEO Paul Andre Huet since late 2024.
- Exploration Momentum: While the index inclusion is "Routine - Positive" (as it was telegraphed in previous transcripts), the underlying reason for it—the massive 52% increase in 2025 silver production and the discovery of the 034 Vein Complex—is fundamentally material. The discovery of ten new veins with grades as high as 4,896 g/t Ag suggests significant mine life extension and grade improvement at Galena.
- Strategic Pivot to Antimony: The definitive JV with US Antimony (February 2026) to build a processing facility transforms the company from a silver miner with "penalty" by-products into a strategic US domestic supplier of critical minerals, potentially accessing federal funding.
Americas Gold and Silver is a North American miner with two primary producing assets: - Galena Complex (Idaho, USA): 100% owned. A high-grade silver-lead-copper-antimony mine. It is currently the only producing antimony mine in the US. Recent focus has been on the 034 Vein Complex and upgrading the No. 3 and Coeur shafts to double hoisting capacity. - Cosalá Operations (Sinaloa, Mexico): Includes the San Rafael mine and the EC120 project. The company recently transitioned to the higher-grade EC120 silver-copper zone, which reached commercial production in late 2025. - Crescent Mine (Idaho, USA): Recently acquired (Dec 2025), located 9 miles from Galena. It is a past-producer being fast-tracked for a mid-2026 restart to provide high-grade feed for the Galena mills.
