Apollo Silver Awaits Revote on Mexican Mining Moratorium — Apollo Silver Corp.

Event summary

Apollo Silver clarifies that media reports misrepresented the September 20, 2026 Ejido Benito Juárez assembly as reaffirming a 2012 mining moratorium.
The assembly was adjourned due to lack of quorum and will reconvene in October 2026 to consider lifting the moratorium on the Cinco de Mayo project.
Apollo Silver is not a participant in the Ejido’s voting processes but remains committed to respectful engagement.
The company holds an option and earn-in interest in the Cinco de Mayo project in Chihuahua, Mexico.

The big picture

Apollo Silver's ability to advance the Cinco de Mayo project hinges on community approval, reflecting broader trends in mining where social license and local governance play critical roles in project viability. The company's strategic focus on respectful engagement underscores the importance of stakeholder relations in resource development, particularly in regions with complex land tenure systems.
