Company Overview

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hycroft”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “it”, or “HYMC”) is a U.S.-based gold and silver company that is focused on exploring and developing the Hycroft Mine in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner. The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada.

The Company restarted pre-commercial scale open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine during the second quarter of 2019 and began producing and selling gold and silver during the third quarter of 2019. The Company operated the Hycroft Mine until November 2021, when it discontinued active mining operations as a result of the then-current and expected ongoing cost pressures for many of the reagents and consumables used at the Hycroft Mine and to further determine the most effective processing method for the sulfide ore. In March 2023, the Company, along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the Hycroft Property Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary Humboldt and Pershing Counties, Nevada (“2023 Hycroft TRS”) that included a mineral resource estimate utilizing a pressure oxidation (“POX”) process for sulfide mineralization and heap leaching process for oxide and transition mineralization.The Company is focusing on exploration drilling and data analyses, completing technical studies, conducting trade-off studies and alternative analyses for determining the optimal process flow sheet for processing sulfide ores and recovering gold and silver, and maintaining the Hycroft Mine.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company again began accessing its at-the-market public offering program (“ATM Program”). During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 517,688 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds, before commissions and offering expenses, of $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $14.8 million and $360.3 million, respectively, gross sales price of common stock available for issuance under the ATM Program. The net proceeds from the ATM Program have been, and are expected to be, used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, refinancing, redemption, or repurchase of existing indebtedness, exploration, working capital, or capital expenditures and other investments.
