Company Description
Discovery Silver Corp. (OTCQX: DSVSF) is described in its public disclosures as a growing North American-focused precious metals company. The company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol DSV and on the OTCQX market under the symbol DSVSF. Discovery’s business is centered on precious metals, with exposure to both silver and gold through its key assets in Mexico and Canada.
According to the company’s announcements, Discovery has exposure to silver through its first asset, the 100%-owned Cordero project, which it describes as one of the world’s largest undeveloped silver deposits. The Cordero project is located in a prolific mining belt in Chihuahua State, Mexico and is noted as being close to existing infrastructure. This project provides the company with significant leverage to silver as it advances its development plans.
Discovery also reports that on April 15, 2025 it completed the acquisition of the Porcupine Complex from Newmont Corporation. The company states that this transaction transformed Discovery into a new Canadian gold producer with multiple operations in one of the world’s most renowned gold camps in and near Timmins, Ontario. Following this acquisition, Discovery began reporting gold production and sales from the Porcupine operations.
Operations and asset base
In its news releases, Discovery explains that the Porcupine Complex includes several producing and development-stage assets. The company refers to operating mines such as Hoyle Pond Mine and Borden Mine, and an open-pit project at Pamour. It also highlights growth and exploration targets within the complex, including Dome Mine, the TVZ Zone adjacent to Hoyle Pond, and the Owl Creek project located near the historic Owl Creek Open Pit.
Discovery describes Hoyle Pond as a high-grade underground mine where current drilling programs are focused on the S Zone, including work to convert and expand inferred resources at depth and to the west. At Borden, the company reports drilling programs aimed at converting and expanding resources in the Main Zone and exploring a large land position around the mine. At Pamour, Discovery outlines drilling within and along strike of a large open-pit resource, with programs designed to convert and extend inferred resources across multiple phases of the pit design.
The company’s disclosures also describe regional and near-mine exploration across the Porcupine land package, including drilling at Dome Mine and the TVZ Zone, as well as follow-up drilling at Owl Creek to test extensions of mineralization near and below the historic open pit. Discovery states that it owns a dominant land position within the Porcupine camp, with a large base of mineral resources remaining and what it characterizes as substantial growth and exploration upside.
Precious metals focus and geographic footprint
Discovery characterizes itself as a precious metals company with a focus on North America. Its silver exposure is tied to the Cordero project in Chihuahua State, Mexico, while its gold production and exploration activities are concentrated in and near Timmins, Ontario through the Porcupine Complex. The company’s public communications emphasize its combination of an undeveloped silver deposit and a producing gold complex within established mining regions.
Corporate developments and financing
In its financial and corporate updates, Discovery has reported the start of gold production and sales from the Porcupine operations following completion of the acquisition in April 2025. The company has also disclosed the arrangement of a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that allows it to borrow up to US$250 million, with an accordion feature for an additional US$100 million subject to conditions. Discovery states that this facility is available for general corporate and working capital purposes, including financing future investments as it advances its growth strategy in Canada and Mexico, and that it is secured by assets of the company and its material subsidiaries.
In connection with this new revolving credit facility, Discovery has announced that it will terminate an existing term loan agreement involving a US$100 million senior debt facility that remained undrawn at the time of termination. The company has also reported a broader financing package arranged in conjunction with the Porcupine acquisition, combining royalty and equity financing with debt capacity to support the transaction and subsequent capital programs.
Exploration and growth programs
Discovery’s news releases describe extensive exploration and drilling programs across the Porcupine Complex. The company has outlined multi-phase drill campaigns at Hoyle Pond, Borden and Pamour aimed at resource conversion and expansion, as well as regional drilling at targets such as Owl Creek, Dome and the TVZ Zone. The company highlights drill intercepts from these programs and notes that they are part of larger meterage plans designed to evaluate potential new sources of production and to support technical studies.
At Dome, Discovery refers to work on a study to update the existing mineral resource and to evaluate a new pit design that would provide access to a significant portion of the current resource. At Owl Creek, the company describes drilling designed to test down-plunge extensions of mineralization east of the historic open pit and notes that initial results indicate potential for mineralization to remain open to depth.
Community and stakeholder agreements
Discovery has also disclosed agreements related to its operations within Indigenous traditional territories. In particular, the company announced a Resource Development Agreement (RDA) with Taykwa Tagamou Nation (TTN). According to the company, this agreement is intended to establish a framework for ongoing consultation and communication and to support a cooperative, mutually beneficial and respectful relationship. Discovery states that the RDA provides a basis for support of its mining and mineral processing activities within TTN’s traditional territory and for sharing economic benefits and working to minimize negative impacts on land and waters.

These include the appointment of a Chief Financial Officer and other senior roles such as Chief Information Officer, Vice President roles in exploration and geology, environment, and business optimization.
