• Non-Cash Gains Drive Net Income

  First-half 2026 net income of $38.3M came entirely from non-cash items: a $43.6M gain on derivative warrant liability revaluation and a $6.2M gain on Silver Loan fair value change, both driven by a lower share price. No revenue was generated.

• Equity Swings Positive

  Shareholders' equity improved to $11.0M from a $56.1M deficit at year-end 2025, primarily due to the non-cash gains and $27.3M in equity financing proceeds.

• Cash Burn Accelerates on Mine Build

  Cash fell to $6.7M from $19.4M at year-end. Investing activities consumed $29.7M for plant, equipment, and mine development, while operating cash outflow was $10.4M.

• First Concentrate Sale Achieved

  After six years of redevelopment, the company completed its first sale of concentrate in July 2026. Commercial production—defined as 90 days at more than 65% of 1,800 tpd—is targeted by end of 2026.

A $38.3M net profit for the first half of 2026 stemmed entirely from non-cash mark-to-market gains on warrant and Silver Loan liabilities—not from operations. The balance sheet swung from a $56M equity deficit to $11M positive, yet cash burned down to $6.7M as $29.7M poured into mine construction. Operationally, the real milestone arrived in July with the first concentrate sale, and management expects commercial production by year-end. Near-term liquidity comes from a $5M draw on the Teck facility, but the Silver Loan restructuring remains unresolved. A partial win in the Crescent lawsuit reduces some legal overhang.
