Silver Storm Mining (TSXV: SVRS) is moving forward with an expansion to the sulphide flotation circuit at their La Parrilla mine in Durango, Mexico. The expansion will see the processing capacity increase by an estimated 25% at the silver mine.
The expansion consists of the installation of eight new flotation cells, with fabrication and deliver of the new cells reportedly completed. The new cells are to be integrated with the existing processing equipment on site, allowing for the sulphide flotation circuit to expand it’s capacity from 1,000 to 1,250 tonnes per day.
The installation is expected to be completed within the first quarter of 2026, with two of the eight cells now installed.
La Parrilla, a past-producing underground silver-lead-zinc-gold complex, is fully permitted, with operations expected to resume in the second quarter of 2026. The mine, which is fully financed for rehabilitation activities, has also notably signed an offtake agreement with Samsung C&T, who has agreed to acquire all lead-silver and zinc concentrates produced at the mine over a two year period.
“The installation of the new flotation cells and the subsequent expansion of the sulphide flotation circuit at La Parrilla represent an important step toward the potential restart of operations in the second quarter of 2026. The expansion of the sulphide circuit aligns with the sulphide-dominant nature of the La Parrilla mineral resource,” commented Greg McKenzie, CEO of Silver Storm Mining.
Silver Storm Mining last traded at $0.59 on the TSX Venture.
