Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported a series of exceptionally high‑grade silver intercepts at the Brimstone zone of its Nevada mine, with a 35.5‑meter intercept grading 542.78 g/t silver, a 14.8‑meter intercept grading 1,187.29 g/t silver, and a 0.4‑meter intercept grading 21,833 g/t silver. The results were obtained in drill holes H25D‑6077 and H25D‑6075, confirming the structural continuity of the high‑grade system identified in earlier work.
Additional intercepts include a 11.2‑meter section grading 358.15 g/t silver and a 5.8‑meter section grading 662.03 g/t silver, both from H25D‑6075 and its extension H25D‑6075X. The 0.4‑meter intercept of 21,833 g/t silver represents the highest grade ever recorded at the site, underscoring the potential for significant resource expansion in the Brimstone and Vortex zones.
These findings reinforce Hycroft’s strategy to expand its measured and indicated resource base and to validate the feasibility of a pressure‑oxidation (POX) milling operation. The company recently announced a 55% increase in its gold and silver resources, bringing measured and indicated categories to 16.4 million gold ounces and 562.6 million silver ounces. With approximately $175 million in cash and no debt, Hycroft has the financial runway to pursue the milling transition and to fund further exploration.
Vice President of Exploration Alex Davidson said the results “continue to demonstrate the scale and potential of the targets we are exploring.” President and CEO Diane Garrett added that the drill program “continues to demonstrate the scale and potential of the targets we are exploring. With every hole we drill, our understanding grows, and the broader story continues to unfold.”
Investors have responded with mixed sentiment. While the high‑grade intercepts support a positive outlook for resource growth and a potential shift to a more profitable milling operation, the company’s historical profitability challenges and the volatility of the precious‑metal market temper enthusiasm. The news is viewed as a key milestone that could influence future capital planning and the upcoming feasibility study, but it does not yet guarantee a rapid move to production.
