Silver Mines Appoints Two Independent Directors as Bowdens Silver-Zinc-Lead Project Advances

BQE Water reported that its 50/50 JCC-BQE joint venture recovered 317,000 lb of zinc in Q2 2026 from three mine-water treatment plants at Dexing and Yinshan in Jiangxi, China, down 38% year on year. Water treated declined 5% to 5.865 million cubic metres. The company attributed changes in recovered metal volumes to environmental conditions and fluctuations in feed-water metal grades. BQE began annual operational support for an integrated lead-smelter recycling facility in Eastern Canada in February 2026. The facility received 90 service days and treated 58,000 cubic metres of water in Q2; year-to-date figures were 177 days and 117,000 cubic metres. BQE reported Q2 GAAP revenue of US$9.245 million, down 18% year on year, and net income of US$1.848 million, down 3%.
