Executive Summary

Q2 2025 was operationally weak with lower tonnes and grades driving a wider net loss, while management accelerated a turnaround plan (contract miner, used fleet purchases, third dry stack filter press) to restore throughput and access higher-grade Three Sisters ore .
Net loss was $11.5M and diluted EPS was $0.09 loss; unit costs spiked on low volume with total cash cost of $4,017/AuEq oz and AISC of $5,458/AuEq oz .
Liquidity improved via ATM sales (~~$5.6M in Q2, $8.6M YTD), a $6.28M loan, and a MXN 79.6M tax refund (~~$4.0M), lifting June 30 balances to $10.4M working capital and $12.7M cash, but going‑concern risk remains until new production areas are developed .
Stock catalysts: proof of sustained throughput gains (third filter press), contractor-led development into Three Sisters (higher grade/width), and additional financing as needed; downside risk if development slips and care‑and‑maintenance becomes likely per company disclosures .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

Engaged Cominvi Servicios (experienced underground contractor) to accelerate Three Sisters access; >1,350 meters of development completed since May and early operational changes (cut‑and‑fill in narrow veins) aimed at reducing dilution and improving grades .
Ordered a third dry stack filter press and advanced plant optimization to raise throughput and recoveries; orders placed for good used equipment to replace aging fleet and improve availability/productivity .
Higher gold and silver prices realized provided partial offset (Q2 realized gold $3,350/oz; silver $34.35/oz) .

Quote: “With this capital, we… ordered a third dry stack filter press… [and] engaged Cominvi Servicios… to accelerate the development of the Three Sisters vein systems.” – Allen Palmiere, CEO .

What Went Wrong

Production remained constrained by aging equipment and insufficient alternative headings, forcing mining “one face at a time” and depressing volumes/grades and sales .
Net loss widened to $11.5M (−$0.09/share) on lower production and net sales; Company flagged substantial doubt about ability to continue as a going concern absent additional capital and successful development of new areas .
Unit costs surged (cash cost $4,017/AuEq oz; AISC $5,458/AuEq oz) given low throughput and operating inefficiencies in the mining fleet and mill .

Key Takeaways for Investors

Near-term risk/reward is dominated by execution: contractor development into Three Sisters, used-fleet arrivals, and commissioning of the third filter press to lift tonnes and reverse cost inflation .
Liquidity improved in Q2 (ATM, loan, tax refund) but remains tight relative to capital needs ($7M equipment/mill, ~$8M working capital over 12 months); ongoing financing likely as development scales .
Going‑concern language persists; failure to open new headings and lift throughput could force care‑and‑maintenance, a binary downside scenario .
Higher realized metals prices (gold/silver) offer partial cushion, but cannot offset structural constraints without volume recovery; watch tonnes milled and AuEq ounces as primary KPIs .
Evidence of sustained throughput (1,300→1,500 tpd) and improving unit costs would be material positive catalysts; delays or budget creep in equipment/logistics are key risks .
Monitoring cadence: monthly/quarterly updates on development advance, equipment deliveries, and filter press timeline; balance sheet moves (ATM/other debt/equity) are secondary but critical.
