What Discovery Mining does

Canadian gold producer in Ontario's Timmins camp (Porcupine, Kidd mines), also developing the Cordero silver deposit in Mexico.

Earns from gold sold at market prices from the Porcupine mines in Ontario, bought from Newmont in 2025, and from copper, zinc and silver concentrates from the Kidd operations added in 2026. Cash flow is meant to help fund Cordero, a large Mexican silver deposit still to be built.

In one line: No close peer; a Mexico-silver-to-Ontario-gold miner..

What could go wrong
