Hycroft Drills Record-Breaking Gold and Silver Intercept

Event summary

Hycroft's Hole H26D-6175A yielded 19.6 meters at 30.49 g/t gold and 1,726.72 g/t silver, the highest-grade intercept in the company's 40-year history.
The intercept included 1.7 meters at 347.07 g/t gold and 9,526.36 g/t silver, with visible gold present.
The results extend farther west and south of previously reported high-grade intercepts, suggesting proximity to the Vortex system's source.
Follow-up drilling is already underway, with the company accelerating work at the Vortex and Brimstone systems.

The big picture

Hycroft's record-breaking drill results at the Vortex system highlight the potential for significant high-grade gold and silver mineralization, which could redefine the economic viability of the Hycroft Mine. The discovery comes as the company transitions to processing sulfide mineralization, a critical phase for unlocking the full value of one of the world's largest precious metals deposits. The strategic importance of these results is amplified by the location in Nevada, a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction known for its favorable regulatory environment and mining-friendly policies.
