9. Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:HYMC)

On April 21, 2026, Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:HYMC) provided an update on exploration activities at its Hycroft Mine and said it has hired RESPEC to evaluate underground mining options for the recently discovered high-grade silver systems at Brimstone and Vortex. The review includes mining method assessments, conceptual mine design, and schedule development, and will result in an internal report for the company.

Hycroft is also evaluating an exploration decline that would provide underground drill access. The engineering work is expected to determine the best portal location and decline dimensions, which could also support future production. With that work completed, Ausenco Engineering can move forward with an Initial Assessment Technical Report that includes economic projections. The company expects that report to be completed in Q2.

Last month, Hycroft announced additional drill results from its 2025–2026 exploration program at the Hycroft Mine. The company said the Brimstone silver system extends roughly 150 meters deeper than previously identified and remains open both at depth and laterally. It also reported strong mineralized fluid pathways and stockwork veining, typically associated with the high-grade Brimstone system. CEO Diane Garrett said the latest drill results continue to highlight the scale and potential of the project as the company works to further define Hycroft’s long-term opportunity.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:HYMC) is a U.S.-based gold and silver exploration and development company.
