Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. — LUCA.v; LUCMF

After recently releasing promising Q1 results, Luca Mining is moving rapidly into its next phase of organic growth. The company finished the first quarter in its strongest financial position to date, growing its cash treasury to US$36.4 million while remaining completely on track to eliminate its remaining debt by mid-2026.

Looking ahead, Luca is focused on executing a near-term valuation re-ranking by doubling production across its core Mexican assets. This growth will be driven by the continued operational ramp-up of the newly constructed Tahuehueto gold mine alongside a fully funded, US$25 million multi-year exploration program.

At the same time, the company is optimizing its Campo Morado operation to transition it into a higher-margin precious metals platform, supported by an updated NI 43-101 technical report expected in the second half of 2026.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. -From Turnaround to Shareholder Returns: Luca Mining (TSXV: LUCA) Launches 5% NCIB with $36M Cash & Debt-Free Path

(TSXV: LUCA | OTCQX: LUCMF) is entering a new capital allocation phase — pairing balance sheet strength with direct shareholder returns.

NCIB Launched

Luca has announced its intention to initiate a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) to repurchase up to 13,750,000 common shares, representing approximately 5% of shares outstanding.

The bid is expected to run from May 21, 2026 to May 20, 2027, unless completed earlier.

Management and the Board have stated clearly: the current share price does not reflect the company’s underlying value — particularly considering:

• Strong and growing free cash flow

• Self-funded expansion capability

• The replacement value of two producing Mexican mines

Balance Sheet Transformation

The financial turnaround has been material.

• Cash grew from ~$1M (end of 2023) to $25.5M (FY2025)

• Debt reduced from ~$30M to $1.4M

• By Q1 2026, cash increased further to $36.5M

• Luca is on track to be debt free this quarter

Management has emphasized cash growth and disciplined capital management — without returning to equity markets.

Exploration Through 2027

A $25M multi-year exploration program is underway with six drills turning at Tahuehueto and Campo Morado. The focus: extend mine life, grow resources, and target higher-grade zones to support margin expansion.

Cost & Margin Strategy

• Tahuehueto: Record throughput and improving grade consistency targeting lower unit costs

• Campo Morado: Metallurgical recovery optimization under strengthened technical leadership

Strategic Shift

With debt nearly eliminated, a declining silver stream burden, rising commodity prices, and steady exploration catalysts ahead, Luca is transitioning from balance sheet repair to growth — and now adding share buybacks as a signal of confidence.

Debt reduction. Cash growth. Drill-driven expansion. Capital returns.

Luca is positioning itself as a self-funded growth story with increasing leverage to metals prices and operational upside.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. – Luca Mining (LUCA.v LUCMF) recently reported new high-grade drill results from its ongoing 2026 exploration program at the Tahuehueto gold-silver mine in Mexico, with drilling continuing to confirm near-mine expansion potential and previously untested mineralized zones that management believes could be incorporated into future mine plans within a year: https://lucamining.com/2026/05/luca-intersects-6-8-metres-of-5-5-g-t-gold-equivalent-at-tahuehueto-mine-further-expanding-high-grade-mineralization-proximal-to-existing-workings/

With multiple rigs active, expanding exploration budgets, and new targets continuing to deliver strong results, LUCA believes Tahuehueto still hosts significant near-mine growth potential capable of supporting future resource and production expansion.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. - LUCA.v; LUCMF
Luca Mining Corp. has announced its intention to launch a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB), a strategic share buyback program designed to return value to its shareholders.

The company intends to repurchase up to 13,750,000 common shares, representing approximately 5% of its currently issued and outstanding stock.

The NCIB is expected to commence on May 21, 2026, and will terminate on May 20, 2027, or on an earlier date in the event that the maximum number of Common Shares sought under the NCIB have been repurchased.

Management and the Board of Directors firmly believe that the current share price does not adequately reflect Luca's underlying value—particularly when factoring in the strong free cash flow generation, the ability to self-fund expansion, and the replacement value of its two producing Mexican mines.

Last week, Luca Mining reported encouraging new assay results from its 2026 drilling program at the Tahuehueto mine in Mexico.

The latest drilling intersected high-grade gold mineralization in newly identified breccia zones located just below current mine workings, strongly supporting near-term resource expansion.

Standout intercepts included 6.8 metres grading 5.54 g/t AuEq. Because these intercepts occur within development distance of existing underground infrastructure, Luca expects to readily include these new zones in near-term mine plans.

Looking ahead, Luca's 2026 exploration program is designed to aggressively expand the vertical and lateral extent of this mineralization.

With over 11 kilometres of prospective vein structures identified along strike and at least 14 additional prospective veins documented, investors can look forward to significant exploration upside as the drill rigs continue turning.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. - Luca Mining Accelerates Gold Exploration with 6 Rigs and US$25M Three-Year Plan – Debt Nearly Eliminated, Cash Flow Funding Resource Growth

(TSX-V: LUCA) CEO Dan Barnholden joined VSA Capital’s Ollie O’Donnell to discuss FY25 results, Q1 2026 production, and the roadmap through 2027.

Setting the Stage

Luca marks one year as a multi-mine operator, with FY25 and Q1/26 results underscoring a material financial turnaround

FY25 Transformation vs FY23

• Q4 generated >US$20M in free cash flow

• FY25 year-end cash: ~US$25.5M

• Q1 2026 cash: ~US$36.5M

• Debt reduced from ~US$30M (FY23) to ~US$1.4M, with full repayment expected this quarter

A near mirror-image balance sheet shift in two years.

Exploration Through 2027

• US$7.5M drill budget in 2026

• Three-year, US$25M exploration plan

• Six rigs turning across both assets

• Silver stream expected to materially reduce by late 2027/early 2028, unlocking incremental cash flow

Debt-Free & Cash Accretive

Management emphasizes cash growth as the core performance metric — with no equity raise on the horizon

Share Price vs Commodity Leverage

Despite zinc, copper, gold, and silver strength, management believes LUCA’s operational cash generation is not yet reflected in the share price

Accounting Loss vs Operational Profitability

The reported net loss was largely driven by accounting treatment of the silver stream. Operationally, Tahuehueto remains cash generative, with ~700,000 oz remaining on the stream

Shareholder Value Actions

A structured silver call strategy in Q1 crystallized >US$3M in gains, directly enhancing the cash balance

Cost Optimization:

Tahuehueto

• New COO appointed

• Throughput record: 1,350 tpd (nameplate 1,200 tpd)

• Improving grade consistency (~4 g/t AuEq)

• Near-mine higher-grade intercepts identified

Cost Optimization: Campo Morado

• Metallurgical recovery improvements underway

• New PhD metallurgist hired

• Expansion study targeting improved gold and silver recovery in H2 2026

Exploration Acceleration

Six drills turning across both mines aim to extend mine life, grow resources, and potentially improve grade profiles

Newsflow Through 2027

2026 focus:

• Aggressive exploration

• Campo Morado expansion initiatives

• Ongoing cash growth

• Active M&A targeting a potential third asset

FY25 repositioned Luca from leveraged developer to cash-generating multi-asset producer. With debt nearly eliminated, exploration fully funded, cost optimization underway, and silver stream relief approaching by 2027, management is focused on compounding cash flow and expanding the platform.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. -Luca Mining Strikes Gold: 118m @ 2.53 g/t Au & 100m+ High-Grade Hits Expand Near-Mine at Campo Morado


LUCA has intersected broad, high-grade polymetallic mineralization in the unmined Largo Norte zone at its Campo Morado VMS mine in Guerrero, Mexico — immediately adjacent to active underground workings.

Headline Intercepts – Largo Norte

• CMUG-26-38: 118.2m @ 2.53 g/t Au, 77.89 g/t Ag, 0.76% Cu, 0.57% Pb, 1.99% Zn

Incl. 20.8m @ 4.02 g/t Au, 180.72 g/t Ag, 2.02% Pb, 3.90% Zn

• CMUG-26-39: 100.7m @ 2.80 g/t Au, 90.72 g/t Ag, 0.59% Cu, 0.71% Pb, 2.59% Zn

Incl. 35.1m @ 3.99 g/t Au, 131.32 g/t Ag

• CMUG-26-37: 77.1m @ 2.31 g/t Au, 47.05 g/t Ag, 0.77% Cu

• CMUG-26-41: 71.0m @ 1.57 g/t Au, 20.12 g/t Ag, 0.72% Cu

Entire intercept lies outside the current Largo Norte resource, expanding mineralization ~20m beyond prior limits

The Largo Norte Zone is a ~650m-long, shallow south-dipping VMS body ranging 20–60m in thickness. This season’s six underground holes have materially increased confidence and extended mineralization in this under-drilled area.

Why It Matters

• Broad widths with strong gold-silver enrichment

• Mineralization proximal to existing underground infrastructure

• Direct potential to add mineable tonnes to the 2026–2028 mine plan

This marks the first meaningful exploration campaign at Campo Morado since 2014. To date:

• 47 underground holes (10,880m) completed

• 44 surface holes (11,570m) at Reforma, El Rey and other targets

• 38+ exploration targets identified across the concession

Drilling continues with two surface rigs and one underground rig targeting Largo, Largo Norte, Naranjo, Fish, Reforma and El Rey — all contributing to near- and medium-term production planning.

Luca is demonstrating the ability to grow high-grade resources from within existing workings at Campo Morado. Broad, gold-rich VMS intercepts at Largo Norte provide a clear pathway to expand mineable inventory while leveraging established infrastructure — a high-impact combination for near-term value creation.

Posted on behalf of Luca Mining Corp. - LUCA.v; LUCMF Earlier this month, Luca Mining updated its corporate presentation, outlining an aggressive new strategy and development plan for the Campo Morado mine.

The company is actively transitioning the asset from a zinc-focused operation into a much higher-margin precious metals platform. This transition is driven by a multi-phase mill expansion designed to significantly improve gold and silver recoveries, with an updated NI 43-101 technical report expected in the second half of 2026.

Looking further ahead, recent high-grade drill success is paving the way for the Reforma and El Rey zones to become the mine's primary source of ore feed starting in 2028.

By shifting to more efficient, bulk-tonnage mining methods in these new areas, Luca is perfectly positioned to optimize production and unlock the massive exploration upside across its 12,000-hectare property.
