Hycroft Mining Shares Hit 52-Week Highs on Record Metals Prices and Vortex Drill Grades

Fueled by a debt-free balance sheet and standout Vortex results, the company is steering feasibility studies toward an H1 2026 decision on a possible heap-leach restart.

Overview

  • HYMC touched $27.43 intraday on Tuesday after a roughly 49% surge Monday, marking new 52-week highs and extending a sharp multi-month rally.
  • All-time highs in gold near $4,500 per ounce and silver around $69 per ounce were cited as catalysts that improve project economics and expand mineable resources.
  • Hycroft reported its highest Vortex silver grades and longest continuous intercept to date, including assays up to 1,545 g/t, with mineralization remaining open.
  • Management is progressing feasibility work for the Nevada operation with results expected in the first half of 2026 and has outlined plans for a potential heap-leach restart.
  • The company says it is debt-free with about $175 million in cash after 2025 capital raises, while market commentators caution the stock remains highly volatile and speculative with execution and financing risks.
