Executive summary

• Precious metals saw a technical correction in 2Q26 after historic highs, but prices remained elevated: silver averaged 118.6% higher and gold 37.4% higher year-over-year, while copper and zinc also posted strong gains due to demand and supply constraints.

• Mining operations improved, with ore milled and processed up 4.3% and ore deposited up 1.0% year-over-year, driven by the resumption of Tizapa and higher activity at Herradura, offsetting declines at other units.

• Quarterly production of all metals increased, notably lead (+28.7%), copper in concentrates (+27.7%), zinc (+14.2%), gold (+6.5%), and silver (+2.4%), while copper cathodes fell 36.7% due to lower ore at Milpillas.

• Metallurgical operations saw declines in refined gold (-29.0%), silver (-23.4%), and zinc (-33.9%) due to plant shutdowns and scheduled maintenance.
