Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (HYMC) reported additional results from its 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program at the Hycroft Mine in Nevada, focusing on the Brimstone and Vortex high-grade silver systems. At Brimstone, hole H26D-6169 intersected 82.7 meters at 87.52 g/t silver and 0.77 g/t gold, including 19.4 meters at 108.19 g/t silver and 2.10 g/t gold, and a sub-interval of 0.7 meters at 14.35 g/t gold, confirming continuity and moving high-grade mineralization closer to surface.

Since August 2025, Hycroft has completed about 15,585 meters of an approximately 26,000-meter core program, with further drilling planned at both systems to refine development options, including the potential for a high-grade underground mine.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported second quarter 2026 results and filed its Quarterly Report for the period ended June 30, 2026. The company emphasized safety, noting an injury-free record with a total recordable injury frequency rate of 1.02 and more than 1.4 million work hours without a lost-time incident.

Management referenced an updated S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary describing robust economics for a large-scale, long-life gold and silver project in northern Nevada. Hycroft continued its 2025–2026 exploration drill program focused on high-grade silver systems at Brimstone and Vortex, and plans to increase to four core drill rigs, evaluate a potential high-grade mining scenario including an exploration decline, and advance test work comparing roasting and pressure oxidation to refine its development plan.
Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported a net loss of $69.0 million ($0.76 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus $23.5 million ($0.89 per share) a year earlier, as it remains an exploration-stage gold and silver company without significant operating revenue.
Operating expenses rose sharply, driven by $34.1 million of discretionary restricted stock unit make‑whole awards, a $4.5 million extraordinary cash bonus, and expanded drilling at the Brimstone and Vortex high‑grade silver systems. A change in reclamation estimates tied to an updated mine plan reduced the asset retirement obligation by $5.7 million. The May 2026 Hycroft Technical Report Summary outlines a 51‑year open‑pit operation with a preliminary post‑tax NPV of about $4.3 billion (5% discount rate) and a 16.9% internal rate of return, based on assumed gold and silver prices.
Liquidity improved: cash and cash equivalents were $220.5 million, up from $181.7 million, supported by $43.4 million of warrant exercises and $35.8 million raised under an at‑the‑market equity program, and the company has no debt. Net cash used in operations was $44.1 million. Hycroft reports more than 1.4 million work hours without a lost‑time incident and a TRIFR of 1.02, and it remains a defendant in three Delaware Chancery Court actions related to legacy warrants, with motions to dismiss pending and no loss accrual recorded.
