• Gold prices rose to an all-time high of $4,420.01, while spot silver prices hit a record high of $69.44.
• Hycroft Mining reported positive initial drill results earlier last week and also announced plans to resume a heap leaching operation.

Shares of Hycroft Mining Holding Corp. (HYMC) surged over 18% in Monday’s premarket trade as gold and silver hit record highs earlier in the day.

Gold prices climbed to their highest-ever price of $4,420.01 earlier on Monday, while spot silver prices hit a record high of $69.44, according to Reuters.

Hycroft Mining is an American gold and silver company that explores and develops one of the world’s largest precious metals deposits located in northern Nevada, a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction.

Drilling Success

On Dec. 15, 2025, Hycroft Mining announced initial drill results from its 2025-2026 Exploration Drill Program at the Hycroft Mine in Nevada, noting that it has found the highest silver grades with the longest continuous intercept in the Vortex till date.

The Vortex expands over 75 meters to the west and opens targets to the north and south, the company said. More importantly, the results confirm continuity of high-grade silver.

Additionally, Hycroft Mining plans to resume a heap leaching operation, a low-cost mining technique for extracting metals from ores, due to the attractive increases in gold and silver prices, based on results expected to be completed in the first half of 2026. Hycroft Mining owns over 64,000 acres of land, of which less than 10% has been explored, according to the company.

In October, the company announced that it had become debt-free for the first time since becoming a publicly traded company and currently has about $175 million in cash.
