Company Overview

Americas Gold & Silver Corporation [TSX:USA] is a North American precious metals and antimony producer operating high-grade silver, copper, and antimony mines in the United States and Mexico. The company’s principal assets include the Galena Complex in Idaho, the largest antimony mine in the United States and the nation’s third highest-grade primary silver mine, and the Cosalá Operations in Sinaloa, Mexico. 

In December 2025, Americas acquired the Crescent Silver Mine, located nine miles from Galena and host to the world’s third-highest-grade silver resource. In February 2026, Americas formed a 51/49 joint venture with US Antimony to develop an antimony processing facility at the Galena site, establishing a domestic mine-to-finished-product antimony supply chain. The company states it is fully funded to grow production across its asset portfolio.

The GDXJ Inclusion

The company's inclusion in the Van Eck Junior Gold Miners ETF marks a significant milestone in its effort to broaden institutional investor access to its North American silver and antimony operations. The GDXJ seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index (MVGDXJTR), a modified market-capitalisation-weighted index designed to track small-capitalisation companies involved primarily in gold and silver mining. To qualify, companies must generate at least 50% of revenues from gold or silver mining, or hold gold or silver mineral resources representing at least 50% of total mining mineral resources.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Americas Gold & Silver, Paul Andre Huet, characterised the addition as meaningful for the company’s institutional profile: 

“Americas inclusion in this major index has the potential to maintain and attract additional global institutional investment into the Company and increase liquidity, with the GDXJ being an important benchmark requirement for many large investment funds.”

Prior Index Milestone & What’s Next

The GDXJ addition builds on a prior inclusion milestone. Americas was added to the Solactive Global Silver Miners Index (SIL) in April 2025. Management views the two inclusions as sequential steps in broadening the company’s accessibility to institutional capital.

On March 30, 2026, the company will release its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results before North American markets open, followed by a management conference call and webcast.
