Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
A series of major capital projects at the Galena Complex in Idaho to scale production, including upgrading the No. 3 Shaft hoisting capacity, installing mine-wide fiber optics and leaky-feeder communications, and upgrading the Galena mill capacity from 750 to 1,200 short tons per day.
Expected impact: Aims to increase daily operating throughput from 410 tonnes per day to a year-end target of 650 tonnes per day, and eventually exceeding 1,000 tonnes per day.
Rehabilitating and developing the newly acquired Crescent Silver Mine, located 9 miles from Galena, to utilize spare milling capacity at the Galena mill.
Expected impact: Adds a high-grade resource (over 600 g/t silver) to supplement Galena's mill feed, accelerating production growth and operational synergies.
Constructing and operating a new antimony processing facility in Idaho's Silver Valley through a joint venture to process Galena's high-grade silver-copper-antimony tetrahedrite ore.
Expected impact: Unlocks substantial byproduct value and establishes a vertically integrated, domestic U.S. antimony supply chain.
Mergers, Acquisitions & Partnerships
Recent deals and strategic collaborations
Recent Acquisitions
Acquisition of a fully permitted, past-producing silver mine located just 9 miles from the Galena Complex. Crescent hosts a high-grade resource exceeding 20 million ounces of silver at over 600 g/t, which is double Galena's current mining grade. The proximity allows immediate operational synergies by trucking ore directly to Galena's underutilized mill.
Financial impact: Funded via a concurrent $132 million bought deal financing. Expected to supplement production and lower consolidated unit costs upon restart in mid-2026.
Strategic Partnerships
Formed a 51/49 joint venture (Americas holding a 51% controlling interest) to construct and operate an antimony processing facility in Idaho's Silver Valley. This partnership leverages Galena's position as the only active antimony-producing mine in the U.S. to create a secure, domestic mine-to-finished-product supply chain.
Terms: Americas holds a 51% controlling interest; operational and construction costs are shared according to ownership stakes.
