Silverco Mining (SICO.V) has mobilized underground contractors at its 100% owned Cusi Property in Chihuahua, Mexico, it said Thursday.
Underground development will start at Cusi's two primary mining zones, Promontorio and San Miguel, said Silverco. First ore from Promontorio is expected in late third quarter of 2026, while first ore from San Miguel is expected to "ramp up" over the first half of 2027, it added.
"The two contractors now active at Cusi are well-established and experienced local firms with extensive underground mining experience," said CEO Mark Ayranto. "With this work and the mill rehabilitation work underway, we remain on schedule to produce first concentrate in Q4 2026 and exit 2026 with two producing silver mines in Mexico."
