What Sierra Madre does
Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. is a Canadian-domiciled precious metals producer and explorer focused on silver-gold mining in Mexico's Sierra Madre mineral belt. The company's core asset is the La Guitarra mine complex in Estado de Mexico, a high-grade underground mine with an on-site 500 tonne-per-day flotation mill that achieved full commercial production on January 1, 2025. In June 2026, Sierra Madre closed the acquisition of the Del Toro Silver Mine in Zacatecas from First Majestic Silver Corp. for up to US$60 million, adding a second permitted, past-producing underground asset with a 3,000 tpd processing capacity and over 62.5 km of existing development. The company also holds the Tepic exploration project in Nayarit (2,612.5 hectares) and broader district-scale concessions totaling 39,714 hectares covering the Temascaltepec mining district, with 27.2 million ounces of measured-and-indicated silver-equivalent resources and a further 20.2 million ounces inferred.
The business model is direct commodity production: Sierra Madre extracts silver-gold ore using cut-and-fill, shrinkage, and long-hole underground mining methods, processes it through crushing, grinding, and flotation circuits into silver-gold concentrates, and sells those concentrates under a binding offtake agreement to smelters and precious metals refiners with monthly shipments. Revenue is therefore a function of throughput (currently 500 tpd, targeted at 750-800 tpd by Q2 2026 and 1,200-1,500 tpd by Q3 2027), head grade, recovery rates, and prevailing silver and gold prices on global markets. FY2025 revenue was $25 million with $6 million of EBITDA, and Q1 2026 alone generated $10.1 million in revenue with $2.8 million of adjusted EBITDA. Customers are global smelters and concentrate trading companies; pricing is commodity-market determined (LME/COMEX) and not publicly disclosed, with offtake terms held commercial-in-confidence.
Sierra Madre is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (SM) and OTCQX (SMDRF), with approximately 196.35 million shares outstanding (213.7 million fully diluted). First Majestic Silver Corp. is the largest shareholder at roughly 24.77% following the Del Toro transaction, Eric Sprott is a notable institutional holder via 2176423 Ontario Ltd., and the management team has previously raised over $1 billion for mining companies and contributed to the discovery and development of more than 22 million ounces of gold and 600 million ounces of silver in combined reserves and resources. Sierra Madre was recognized as a 2026 Top 50 TSX Venture Exchange Company based on 264% share price appreciation and 342% market cap growth in 2025.

Company assessmentDirect peers
- First Majestic Silver Corp. Large silver-gold producer in Mexico and Sierra Madre's largest shareholder (~24.77%) and the vendor of both La Guitarra and Del Toro. Directly comparable as a Mexico-focused precious metals miner, with overlapping jurisdiction, processing methodologies, and offtake channels.

- MAG Silver Corp. Mexico-focused silver developer/producer with a primary asset (Juanicipio) joint-ventured with Fresnillo. Compares as a Mexico-focused silver play with high-grade underground operations and a similar capital-markets profile on Canadian exchanges.
