Recent announcements highlight promising assay results from the Shire Project, identifying new gold-rich VMS targets with significant gold and silver values. The company is debt-free and has sufficient cash runway for over two years if free cash flow continues to grow historically.

Operations: The company's revenue is derived from its operations at Porco ($37.38 million), Bolivar ($79.43 million), Zimapan ($70.61 million), SAN Lucas ($73.13 million), and the Caballo Blanco Group ($67.09 million).
Market Cap: CA$192.16M
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd., with a market cap of CA$192.16 million, has recently strengthened its leadership by appointing Eduardo Torrecillas as COO, enhancing operational oversight in Mexico and Bolivia. The company reported robust revenues from multiple operations, including Bolivar and Zimapan. Despite a 4% decrease in ore processed at San Lucas due to capacity shifts, the site remains integral to optimizing resource allocation across operations. Santacruz's financial health is solid; short-term assets exceed liabilities, and debt is well-covered by operating cash flow. Trading significantly below estimated fair value, it offers potential upside for investors seeking exposure to silver mining.
