With production increasing at Tangana, Plata advancing toward production, and ongoing resource expansion, we believe Silver X is entering a compelling new phase of growth. Our purpose remains clear — to become a leading silver company by unlocking asset value, driving profitable growth, and delivering responsible, lasting stakeholder value — and we are committed to executing that vision for the long term.”
