Silverco Mobilizes Contractors for Cusi Restart in Mexico, Heading for Year-End Lead-Zinc-Silver Production
Silverco Mining announced the mobilization of underground mining contractors at its wholly owned Cusi property in Chihuahua, Mexico, marking a critical milestone in the mine's restart plan. The company has appointed local experienced firms Mafrissa and Rencer to handle underground development and production mining across the Promontorio and San Miguel zones, respectively. Located in the Sierra Madre Occidental belt, the Cusi Complex is a historically productive underground mine renowned for its rich silver, lead, zinc, and gold deposits. Silverco expects the first ore from the Promontorio zone late in Q3 2026, while a new portal and ramp will be constructed at the San Miguel zone to ramp up production in H1 2027. CEO Mark Ayranto noted that with underground work and mill rehabilitation currently underway, the company remains strictly on schedule to produce its first concentrate in Q4 2026 and exit the year with two producing polymetallic mines in Mexico.
