Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported new high-grade drill results from its 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program at the Vortex zone of the Hycroft Mine in Nevada and provided a corporate cash and compensation update.

Key hole H25D-6083 intersected 53.4 meters grading 304.14 g/t silver and 1.33 g/t gold, including 7.0 meters at 1,241.97 g/t silver and 6.59 g/t gold, and a 0.9-meter interval at 2,890.00 g/t silver and 33.70 g/t gold. Management stated these results support the geological model and suggest the Vortex and Brimstone systems are more extensive than previously understood, with both remaining open in all directions and at depth.

The company plans follow-up drilling and is expanding the exploration program with two additional core rigs. Hycroft ended the first quarter of 2026 with approximately $189 million in unrestricted cash and no debt.

The company reports very high-grade silver intercepts at the Brimstone target, including 542.78 g/t silver over 35.5 meters and 1,187.29 g/t silver over 14.8 meters within that interval.

Drilling confirmed the Brimstone silver system extends about 150 meters deeper than previously known and remains open at depth and laterally. Hycroft completed 11 holes in 2025 and has finished 6 core holes so far in 2026, with additional rigs being mobilized as it works to define the scale and continuity of the high-grade system.

Hycroft increased measured and indicated resources by about 55% to 16.4 million ounces of gold and 562.6 million ounces of silver, plus additional inferred ounces, and defined an initial high-grade silver resource with underground potential. The 2025–2026 drill program is the largest under current management, targeting high-grade silver systems and heap leach material.

The company maintained an injury-free safety record with a 0.00 total recordable injury frequency rate over 1.4 million work hours, eliminated the Crofoot net profits royalty for $2.5 million, and acquired Crofoot sulfur and other mineral rights for $1.5 million. Management highlighted more than 950% total shareholder return in 2025 and noted that its Preliminary Economic Assessment timeline has been extended to reflect the significantly larger resource base and updated mine plan.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported a new Technical Report Summary and updated Mineral Resource estimate for its Hycroft Mine, showing about 55% growth in measured and indicated gold and silver resources.
