35th BMO Global Metals, Mining & Critical Minerals Conference summary
23 Feb, 2026Strategic portfolio overview
Operates 10 producing assets across the Americas, focusing on regions with significant silver reserves and operational familiarity.
Recent acquisition of MAG Silver and the Juanicipio mine has significantly boosted production and reduced costs.
Active in 8 countries, with a mix of silver and gold assets, and ongoing optimization of the asset portfolio.
Jacobina and Timmins, primarily gold producers, are being optimized for higher efficiency and expanded production.
Exploration and development efforts are ongoing to maximize resource potential and operational efficiency.
Production and cost performance
Achieved over $550 million in free cash flow in Q4, with expectations for even stronger Q1 results due to higher metal prices.
Silver production increased by 14% year-over-year, with declining costs driven by Juanicipio's addition.
All-in sustaining costs for silver have decreased, resulting in significant margin expansion.
Seasonality affects production, with stronger output in the second half of the year due to weather patterns in South America.
Cost inflation is present, mainly from wages and diesel, but partially offset by lower costs for some inputs and favorable by-product credits.
Growth projects and capital allocation
La Colorada skarn project is a major focus, with phase one targeting high-grade ore and a mine life of 15-20 years.
Updated PEA for La Colorada skarn expected in Q2, with capital intensity projected to be significantly lower than the original $3 billion estimate.
Escobal project in Guatemala remains a significant upside, pending completion of the ILO 169 consultation process.
Capital allocation prioritizes exploration, sustaining capital, and shareholder returns, with a strong cash position and no immediate debt repayment needs.
Dividend increased for the third consecutive quarter, with a share buyback program also in place.
