Silver Storm Mining Achieves First Doré at La Parrilla, Shares Climb

Silver Storm Mining has poured its first silver-gold doré bar at the La Parrilla mine in Durango, Mexico, marking a critical step toward full operational restart. The company is using mineralized material from an open-pit stockpile to test the oxide processing circuit, with management expecting continuous production from that feed stream. News of the milestone pushed the stock 9% higher on Monday to €0.33, though the shares remain 33.5% below the 52-week high of €0.49 reached in February.

The technical picture offers a mixed view. At €0.33, the stock is trading just above its 50-day moving average of €0.32 and roughly 28% above the 200-day average of €0.26 — a signal of a modest longer-term uptrend. The 14-day relative strength index sits at 51.4, squarely in neutral territory, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions. Despite the recent rally, the shares are still down 4.5% year-to-date, reflecting the sluggish performance of silver itself, which has been moving sideways.

Over the trailing twelve months, however, the picture is dramatically different. Investors who bought a year ago are sitting on gains of nearly 296%, as the stock recovered from a 52-week low of €0.08. The turnaround has been driven by steady operational progress at La Parrilla, a mine with a proven history: between 2005 and 2019, it produced 34.3 million ounces of silver-equivalent. Silver Storm acquired the project less than three years ago and also holds 100% of the nearby San Diego deposit, another significant silver asset in Mexico.

Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Silver Storm Mining?

The upcoming ramp-up of the sulfide circuit will be the next major catalyst. Commissioning is scheduled to begin at the end of June, with the plant designed to handle 1,250 tonnes per day. After a planned one-month ramp-up phase, the addition will more than double the site’s total processing capacity to 2,000 tonnes per day. A successful commissioning would propel La Parrilla into a new phase of operational scaling.

The wider silver junior sector has also been active this month. On June 15, Kootenay Silver published a positive preliminary economic assessment for its La Cigarra project in Chihuahua, Mexico, showing a post-tax net present value of $763 million at a 5% discount rate and an initial capex of $332 million. The same day, Prismo Metals reported high-grade silver intercepts, including bonanza grades, at its Silver King project in Arizona. While these developments are not directly related to Silver Storm, they underscore the regional momentum that forms the backdrop for the company’s progress.

With the oxide circuit already running and the sulfide expansion imminent, Silver Storm is shifting from exploration story to producer. The near-term focus will be on whether the company can sustain the operational speed that has won over investors, and whether silver prices can provide a tailwind. Without a catalyst from the metal itself, sustaining the recent share-price gains could prove challenging for a junior producer in a sideways market.
