Sunshine Silver boosts its Idaho land position to 38,000 acres, initiating a 45,000-metre drilling campaign to identify new mineral discoveries beyond its current mine footprint.
Sunshine Silver expanded its Idaho land position by 60% and announced a 45,000-metre drilling programme, which is positive for exploration upside but lacks immediate financial impact.
Sunshine Silver Mining & Refining Company (SSMR) has increased its Idaho land footprint by 14,100 acres, a 60% expansion aimed at unlocking new mineral potential. The company will launch a 45,000-metre surface drilling programme in late 2026, targeting East Sunshine, Rock Creek, and Pine Creek to complement existing underground operations.
The expansion aims to support a multi-year surface exploration programme to identify new mineral discoveries beyond the existing Sunshine Mine footprint.
Sunshine Silver expects to begin its 45,000-metre surface drilling operations in the fourth quarter of 2026.
