- Sierra Madre reported Q2 net revenue of $8.23 million and $1.58 million of gross profit while daily production at La Guitarra reached as high as 672 tonnes per day in August.
- Sierra Madre Gold and Silver reported second-quarter 2026 net revenue of $8.23 million from the La Guitarra operation in Mexico and gross profit of $1.58 million. The quarter provides a financial checkpoint as the company expands throughput and integrates additional mining areas into its production plan.
- The company reported silver revenue of $5.0 million and gold revenue of $4.3 million for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2026 was $3.5 million, compared with $2.6 million in the same period of 2025. Cash generated from operating activities for the first half totaled $1.89 million versus $1.37 million a year earlier.
The development
Sierra Madre Gold and Silver reported second-quarter 2026 net revenue of $8.23 million from the La Guitarra operation in Mexico and gross profit of $1.58 million. The quarter provides a financial checkpoint as the company expands throughput and integrates additional mining areas into its production plan.
The company reported silver revenue of $5.0 million and gold revenue of $4.3 million for the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2026 was $3.5 million, compared with $2.6 million in the same period of 2025. Cash generated from operating activities for the first half totaled $1.89 million versus $1.37 million a year earlier.
Sierra Madre ended June with $22.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $25.0 million in working capital. The stronger liquidity position is important because the company is spending on the Phase I La Guitarra expansion, adding equipment and staff, and advancing the recently acquired Del Toro silver mine.
Operationally, daily throughput reached as high as 672 tonnes per day in August, about 34% above the previous 500-tonne-per-day level. Management said a larger-than-planned mill was purchased for the expansion, requiring additional foundation and electrical work and contributing to a modest schedule extension. Phase II commissioning remains targeted before the end of the third quarter of 2027.
Why this matters
Sierra Madre is moving from a restart story toward a scaling-production story. That changes the key metrics: investors can now evaluate revenue, gross profit, operating cash flow and throughput rather than relying primarily on exploration and restart milestones.
The working-capital position gives the company room to execute near-term expansion work, but the value of the program will depend on whether higher throughput translates into stable recoveries, unit costs, margins and cash generation.
Industry and company context
La Guitarra restarted commercial production in January 2025 after years of inactivity. Sierra Madre has since been increasing mine output and processing capacity while also adding the Del Toro silver mine in Zacatecas through a June 2026 acquisition.
Silver and gold producers are sensitive to metal prices, grades, recoveries and mine sequencing. Reported revenue can therefore move with both operating performance and commodity prices, making production and cost metrics important companions to the headline sales figure.
How to evaluate the update
Future quarters should be measured against both the 672-tonne-per-day peak rate and the company’s sustainable average throughput. Plant availability, recoveries and mining rates will indicate whether the expansion is improving steady-state production rather than producing short-lived peaks.
Investors should also track working-capital changes and the cost of Phase I and Phase II expansion. A larger mill can provide capacity advantages, but only if the additional capital and commissioning work remain within an economic budget.
Execution and risk considerations
Expansion projects can experience construction delays, commissioning issues and cost escalation. Underground production can also be affected by grade variability, ground conditions and equipment availability.
The Del Toro acquisition adds future optionality but also requires capital and management attention. Sierra Madre will need to balance growth spending against cash generation from La Guitarra.
What to watch next
- Completion and commissioning of the La Guitarra Phase I expansion.
- Quarterly average throughput, recoveries, production and operating cash flow.
- Exploration drilling in the East District and development plans for the Del Toro asset.
Cornerstone perspective
Sierra Madre’s Q2 numbers show an operating business with growing throughput and meaningful liquidity, which makes the expansion program easier to evaluate than a purely prospective development plan.
The next test is consistency. Sustained production above the former 500-tonne-per-day level and stronger cash generation would provide clearer evidence that the growth spending is translating into operating leverage.
