Discovery Completes Acquisition of Kidd Operations

Discovery Silver completed its acquisition of Glencore’s Kidd operations in Timmins, adding the Kidd Met Site, Kidd Creek Mine and a large exploration land package. The deal (US$10m paid via 1,679,171 Discovery shares plus assumed liabilities and contingent payments up to US$75m) gives Discovery substantial processing infrastructure (four-circuit mill, ~6,000 tpd operating capacity on two circuits), surface rights and synergies to support plans to more than double Timmins gold production to over 500,000 oz/year. Management expects Kidd Creek base-metal output for the remainder of 2026 (10–15k t zinc, 5–7k t copper and ~0.4m oz silver) to generate positive cash flow. Market impact: the transaction materially increases Discovery’s scale, gold processing optionality and critical-minerals exposure, likely viewed positively by investors for production growth and cost synergies, though it includes potential dilution and contingent liabilities.
