About
Silverco Mining is a growing silver producer with two advanced assets in Mexico: La Negra Mine in Querétaro and the 100%-owned Cusi Silver Complex in Chihuahua. La Negra is an operating underground silver-lead-zinc-copper mine with a 2,500 tonne per day nameplate capacity, currently operating at approximately 55% of nameplate. Cusi is a permitted, past-producing primary silver mine with a 1,200 tonne per day processing facility. A recent PEA outlined a low capital restart plan with production beginning in late H2 2026 and full production reached by the end of H1 2027. Together, these assets support Silverco’s vision of becoming a 10 million silver-equivalent ounce producer in the next 3 years.

- The Cusi Silver Complex is a 100%-owned, permitted, past-producing underground silver mine located in the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental belt of Chihuahua, Mexico, a region renowned for hosting significant silver, lead, zinc, and gold deposits. The Complex includes a 1,200 tonne-per-day processing facility, extensive underground infrastructure, and 95 mineral concessions covering 11,665 hectares along the highly prospective San Miguel Vein System. Key highlights include: 120 kilometres west of Chihuahua City, 100% ownership of 95 mineral concessions covering 11,665 hectares, permitted 1,200 tpd processing plant with existing tailings capacity, strong infrastructure, including paved highway access and a 33 kV connection to the national power grid, extensive underground development and mine infrastructure already in place, significant exploration upside along the San Miguel Vein System, positioned for a low-capital restart and rapid return to production. Silverco is currently advancing Cusi toward a planned restart while continuing exploration across the San Miguel Vein System. Ongoing underground drilling continues to intersect high-grade silver mineralization, supporting both near-term mine planning and future resource growth. On April 12, 2026, Silverco released the Cusi Restart Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), confirming Cusi as one of the most compelling primary silver restart opportunities globally, supported by low upfront capital requirements, rapid payback, and strong leverage to rising silver prices. The Company is targeting a restart of operations in the second half of 2026, leveraging the site's existing underground development, permitted infrastructure, and 1,200 tonne-per-day processing facility to bring the operation back into production efficiently.

The property was subsequently taken private and operated until 2019. Following a period of care and maintenance, mining activities were restarted by a private Mexican company in 2024.\n\nBetween 1971 and the end of 2020, the mine produced approximately 14.6 Mt with an average grade of 107 g/t silver, 0.59% lead, 1.95% zinc and 0.66% copper."]
