Toronto-headquartered Americas Gold and Silver Corp.<\/strong> has announced significant advancements toward production at the recently acquired high-grade, past-producing Crescent silver mine in Idaho\u2019s Silver Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americas has progressed rapidly with infrastructure upgrades, equipment repairs and additions, as well as site upgrades to position the Crescent mine for a mid-2026 restart of silver, copper and antimony production, leveraging synergies with the company\u2019s neighboring Galena Complex. These upgrades help bring Crescent up to modern standards as part of the mining company\u2019s efforts to scale production in the Silver Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn less than a month since closing the Crescent acquisition, our team has achieved remarkable progress towards restarting production \u2013 from running grid power electrical lines down the mountain to power all three adits and eliminating higher-cost generators, to adding new equipment and organizing the site for efficient operations,\u201d said Paul Andre Huet, Americas Gold and Silver chairman and CEO.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis rapid execution is an excellent start to our plan to establish best-in-class operations at Crescent. We\u2019re poised to unlock multiple synergies with our neighboring Galena Complex from procurement savings and equipment sharing to G&A efficiencies and spare processing capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crescent, located approximately 4 miles southeast of Kellogg, Idaho, produced over 25 million ounces of silver at an average grade of 26 opt (891 g\/t) between 1917 and 1981.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
