About this episode
Guanajuato Silver (TSXV: GSVR) is expanding production in Mexico’s historic Guanajuato mining district after completing the $50 million acquisition of the Bolañitos gold-silver mine and 1,600 tpd processing plant from Endeavour Silver, which closed Jan. 15, 2026. Speaking with Kitco Mining at PDAC 2026 in Toronto, CEO James Anderson said the purchase creates immediate operational synergies with the company’s nearby San Ignacio mine.“Our San Ignacio mine is immediately adjacent to Bolañitos,” Anderson said. “These mines are the same structures, the same vein systems that run through our claims.”The company has already begun processing San Ignacio material at the Bolañitos plant, reducing haulage distances from about 30 km to roughly 2 km and improving operating efficiency as Guanajuato works toward filling the plant’s 1,600 tonne-per-day capacity. Anderson said the company has acquired and restarted five silver and gold mines over the past five years as it continues consolidating the 450-year-old Guanajuato mining district.Don’t forget to subscribe to the Kitco Mining & Kitco News YouTube channels to stay up to date on the latest industry news and interviews.
