  • Americas Gold and Silver Shares Drop Nearly 20% After High-Grade Cosalá Drill Results
    June 8, 2026, 12:53 AM EDT. Americas Gold and Silver (TSX:USA) shares fell 19.7% following the release of high-grade silver drill results from its Cosalá complex, showing grades up to five times above current resource estimates. These intercepts are not yet included in reserves or production forecasts, raising questions about their impact on near-term silver output and mine plans. The company targets 2026 silver production of 3.2 to 3.6 million ounces but will need to incorporate these results and manage heavy debt load.
