Hycroft Mining evaluates heap leach restart at Hycroft mine
HYMC•
HYMC•Hycroft Mining outlined late-2026 work to advance the Hycroft Mine toward production, focusing on high-grade Brimstone and Vortex.
Internal review is nearing completion on underground development options, including a conceptual mine plan and a potential exploration decline for drill access.
A roasting test program has been completed, and a trade-off analysis is underway versus pressure oxidation for the broader sulfide resource.
The heap leach restart remains under review. Oxide and transition material have been defined through drilling, with metallurgical testing underway.
Two additional core rigs are expected in the fourth quarter to accelerate drilling at Vortex and Brimstone.
