ASM Q1 Earnings Beat on Record Revenues & Strong Silver Prices
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. ASM posted adjusted earnings of 14 cents per share for the first quarter of 2026, topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents. Quarterly revenues came in at a record $39.4 million, surging 109% year over year and surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $35 million. Results reflected stronger realized metal pricing and an improved operating performance. Including one-time items, the company registered earnings of 9 cents per share compared with earnings of 4 cents in the year-ago quarter. Avino Silver price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Avino Silver Quote Payable silver-equivalent sold dipped 15% year over year to 483,724 ounces. The company recorded cash costs of $24.46 per silver-equivalent payable ounce, a 94% rise from $12.62 in the year-ago quarter. Consolidated all-in sustaining costs were $34.72 per silver payable equivalent ounce compared with $20.08 in the fourth quarter of 2025. Mine operating income reached $23.4 million, soaring 122% from the year-ago quarter, indicating that the company captured meaningfully higher per-ounce economics even as production metrics were mixed. EBITDA of $25.5 million recorded a 163% year-over-year upsurge, reflecting stronger margins as revenues scaled. Operationally, the company leaned on processing performance. Tons milled increased 11% year over year to 185,497, which management attributed to improved mill throughput tied to targeted upgrades and automation initiatives. Production volumes, however, were mixed. Silver-equivalent ounces produced totaled 568,112, down 10% from the year-ago quarter. Within that, silver ounces produced dipped 1% year over year to 263,057, while gold ounces produced declined 17% to 1,851 and copper pounds produced fell 16% to 1.34 million. Avino Silver highlighted progress at La Preciosa, wherein development production contributed 49,830 silver ounces. The company also reiterated planned drilling activity for 2026, targeting 15,000 meters at La Preciosa with 2,600 meters completed by the quarter-end. Cash generation and liquidity improved materially. Cash provided by operating activities was $13.6 million, a sharp jump from $0.8 million a year ago, reflecting higher profitability and operating cash creation. The balance sheet also strengthened.

ASM to Report Q1 Earnings: Here's What to Expect From the Stock
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. ASM is anticipated to deliver a flat year-over-year bottom line despite higher revenues when it reports first-quarter 2026 results on Wednesday. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Avino Silver’s first-quarter revenues is $35.1 million, which indicates a year-over-year surge of 86.3%. The consensus mark for earnings has moved south in the past 60 days to seven cents per share. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research ASM’s bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters. Over the same period, the company recorded an average earnings surprise of 133%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Avino Silver this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, but that is not the case here. Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for ASM is 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter. Zacks Rank: Avino Silver currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Last month, ASM provided its first-quarter production update, which may show how it is likely to have fared in the to-be-reported quarter. Silver-equivalent production was 568,112 ounces, which was down 10% from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was attributed to planned mining sequencing into lower-grade areas. Gold production was down 17% to 1,851 ounces. Copper production plunged 16% from the year-ago quarter to 1.34 million pounds. Silver production dipped 1% year over year to 263,057 ounces. With 49,830 silver ounces, development production from La Preciosa came above its fourth-quarter 2025 production levels. Avino Silver stands to benefit from the higher metal prices in the quarter. After a strong performance in 2025, gold and silver prices remain strong in 2026, driven by increased geopolitical tensions, a depreciating U.S. dollar, the potential for monetary policy easing, continuous purchasing by central banks and tariff conditions. Copper prices also strengthened in the quarter. Increased metal prices and higher La Preciosa volumes, somewhat offset by lower production of gold and copper, are expected to get reflected in ASM’s top-line results. However, these gains are likely to ha...

Email [email protected] Dan Dickson: Thank you, Allison, and welcome, everyone. Endeavour Silver delivered excellent results in the first quarter of 2026, setting new records in both production and revenue. The strong performance generated significant cash flow, underscoring the company's remarkable growth trajectory. With the [ Cubo ] plant expansion substantially complete and Terronera's operations performing near design expectations, we are entering an exciting phase for the company, and we look forward to building on this momentum as we progress throughout the year. In Q1, Endeavour produced nearly 2 million ounces of silver and 12,000 ounces of gold with base metals, totaling 3 million silver equivalent ounces. This represents a 78% increase compared to Q1 2025 with the additions of [ Copa ] and Terronera. We reported revenue of $210 million, an increase of 23% compared to prior year with cost of sales of $160 million, mine operating earnings of $94 million and mine operating cash flow of $115 million before taxes, a 400% increase from Q1 2025. Our all-in sustaining costs net of byproduct credits were $37 this quarter. This represents a 51% increase compared to Q1 2025 when [ Copa ] and Terronera had not yet joined Endeavour's production portfolio. It's also worth noting that these costs were 9% lower than Q4 2025 primarily due to the ramp-up of operations at Terronera with gained efficiencies throughout the quarter, and we anticipate further reductions in these costs as we continue to optimize operations throughout the year and capital expenditures become normalized. In Q1, Endeavor recognized adjusted net earnings of $59 million or an adjusted earnings per share of $0.21. Both direct operating cost per tonne and direct costs per tonne were elevated this quarter. To clarify how we define these costs, our direct operating cost per tonne include direct input costs associated with mining, milling and site level G&A. Our depiction of direct costs per tonne includes royalties, mining duties and purchase of third-party material. Changes in the metal prices have a meaningful impact on our direct cost per ton. For an example, a $1 increase in silver, cost per tonne rise by about $0.90 at Terronera, Guanacevi is $3.80 and...

Endeavour Silver (EXK) Tops Q1 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
Endeavour Silver (EXK) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.21 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.1 per share. This compares to break-even earnings per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +110.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this silver mining company would post earnings of $0.03 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.02, delivering a surprise of -33.33%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once. Endeavour Silver, which belongs to the Zacks Mining - Silver industry, posted revenues of $209.7 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 34.62%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $63.5 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Endeavour Silver shares have lost about 8.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6%. While Endeavour Silver has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Endeavour Silver was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of tod...

Moby
Endeavour Silver Corp. Q1 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Production growth of 78% year-over-year was driven by the successful integration of the Copa and Terronera assets into the production portfolio. Terronera is transitioning from a construction and start-up phase to a steady-state operations team, with plant metrics currently performing near design expectations. The Cubo plant expansion is substantially complete, with a new three-stage crusher and ball mill increasing capacity to above 2,500 tonnes per day. Guanacevi's performance remains robust, generating over $20 million in free cash flow despite higher operating costs caused by lower throughput and increased royalties. Management attributes elevated direct operating costs to the initial inclusion of new assets and inflationary pressures on skilled labor in Peru. Operational efficiencies at Terronera improved throughout the quarter as the site settled into a consistent rhythm, offsetting early-stage start-up costs. Management expects a significant step-up in ore grades at Terronera during the second half of the year, specifically in late Q3 and Q4. All-in sustaining costs (AISC) are anticipated to trend lower as one-time capital investments dissipate and operations continue to optimize. The company plans to commission the LNG vaporization plant at Terronera before the end of Q2 to transition power generation and improve cost structures. An economic evaluation for the Pitarrilla project is targeted for release in the third quarter of 2026, focusing on an underground sulfide operation. Capital allocation remains focused on growth, with cash flows earmarked for the potential $500 million to $600 million construction of Pitarrilla starting in 2027. Security risks in Mexico remain a factor; a 'code red' in Jalisco during February led to a three-day operational shutdown to ensure employee safety. Permitting timelines in Mexico are described as 'sticky,' with management expressing caution regarding the Q1 2027 target for the Pitarrilla tailings storage permit. The Bolanitos operation was sold in January, reflecting a strategic exit from the Guanajuato region to focus on higher-margin assets. Direct costs per tonne are highly sensitive to metal prices due to royalty structures, with a $1 silver increase adding approximately $3.80 per tonne at Guanacevi. Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll s...

Thank you for standing by. This is the conference operator. Welcome to the Endeavour Silver first quarter 2026 financial results conference call. As a reminder, all participants are in listen only mode, and the conference is being recorded. After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. To join the question queue, you may press star then one on your telephone keypad. Should you need assistance during the conference call, you may signal an operator by pressing star then zero. I would now like to turn the conference over to Allison Pettit, Vice President, Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Before we get started, I ask that you view our MD&A for cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements and the risk factors pertaining to these statements. Our MD&A and financial statements are available on our website at edrsilver.com. On today's call, we have Dan Dickson, Endeavour Silver's CEO, Elizabeth Senez, our CFO, and Luis Castro, Endeavour's COO. Following Dan's formal remarks, we will open the call for questions. Now over to Dan.
Thank you, Allison, and welcome everyone. Endeavour Silver delivered excellent results in the first quarter of 2026, setting new records in both production and revenue. This strong performance generated significant cash flow, underscoring the company's remarkable growth trajectory. With the Kolpa plant expansion substantially complete and Terronera's operations performing near design expectations, we are entering an exciting phase for the company, and we look forward to building on this momentum as we progress throughout the year. In Q1, Endeavour produced nearly 2 million ounces of silver and 12,000 ounces of gold with base metals totaling 3 million silver equivalent ounces. This represents a 78% increase compared to Q1 2025 with the additions of Kolpa and Terronera.
We reported revenue of $210 million, an increase of 230% compared to prior year, with cost of sales of $116 million, mine operating earnings of $94 million, and mine operating cash flow of $115 million before taxes, a 400% increase from Q1 2025. Our all-in sustaining costs net of byproduct credits were $37 this quarter. This represents a 51% increase compared to Q1 2025 when Kolpa and Terronera had not yet joined Endeavour's production portfolio. It's also worth noting that these costs were 9% lower than Q4 2025, primarily due to the ramp-up of operations at Terronera with gained efficiencies throughout the quarter, and we anticipate further reductions in these costs as we continue to optimize operations throughout the year and capital expenditures become normalized.
In Q1, Endeavour recognized adjusted net earnings of $59 million or an adjusted earnings per share of $0.21. Both direct operating costs per ton and direct costs per ton were elevated this quarter. To clarify how we define these costs, our direct operating costs per ton include direct input costs associated with mining, milling, and site level G&A. Our definition of direct costs per ton includes royalties, mining duties, and purchase of third-party material. Changes in the metal prices have a meaningful impact on our direct cost per ton. For an example, a $1 increase in silver, cost per ton rise by about $0.90 at Terronera, Guanaceví's $3.80, and $0.50 at Kolpa obviously due to the higher royalties, the mining duties, third purchase costs, and federally required profit sharing.
Our direct operating costs per ton rose by 30% in Q1 compared to Q1 last year as a result of the inclusion of Kolpa and Terronera into our portfolio. Both assets carried higher operating costs in Q1 than what is expected going forward. During the first quarter, Kolpa installed and commissioned a new 3-stage crusher and ball mill, increasing plant capacity to above 2,500 tons per day. There remains additional plant expansion expenditures. These will dissipate as we move through 2026, and we expect to see benefits on cost metrics starting this quarter. In Peru, we've experienced pressures on attracting and retaining skilled labor, impacting labor costs, training costs, and overall efficiencies. We expect this to continue, the additional costs will be offset by the efficiencies of an updated and expanded operation. At Terronera, we're in the infancy of operations.
In Q1, we made a significant transition from a construction and startup team to an operations team, adjusting and reducing personnel. Mine and plant metrics have steadily improved through continuous measurement, review, and adjustments. As the operation settles into consistent day-to-day rhythm, cost efficiencies are expected. As 1-time capital investments are completed in the 1st half of the year, we expect operating cost metrics to decrease with higher ore grades expected in the 2nd half. We also expect significant improvements on a cost per ounce basis. Exploration drilling has restarted at Terronera, and we expect to provide an update later this quarter. I should note we have not transitioned our power generation to the LNG plant but expect to before the end of this quarter.
We have the necessary authorizations and plan to commission the LNG vaporization plant this month. At Guanacevi, cash flows were north of $20 million this quarter. The mine incurred higher operating costs per ton, largely due to lower throughput with minor increases in our absolute costs. As an operation, the royalties purchased or mining duties and profit share is a significant part of that cost structure, and thus we saw increases. Step out drilling has commenced, and also we expect to provide results later this quarter. As of March 31st, our cash position was over $232 million. Working capital was north of $173 million, which gives us a strong and stable foundation to drive our ongoing initiatives.
We remain committed to advancing progress at Pitarrilla, where steady investment in exploration studies and economic evaluation continues to move forward with the expectation to provide economic evaluation in the third quarter. In closing, our strong financial footing, the successful expansion of the Kolpa plant, and the steady improvements at Terronera have put Endeavour in an excellent position to meet our production targets this year. These achievements reflect our unwavering focus on operational excellence and our ongoing dedication to delivering long-term value for our shareholders. I'd like to thank everyone for their continued support and engagement. With that, I'm happy to open up to questions. Operator, let's proceed to the Q&A session.
Thank you. To join the question queue, you may press Star then one on your telephone keypad. You will hear a tone acknowledging your request. If you're using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing any keys. To withdraw your question, please press Star then two. The first question comes from Heiko Ihle with H.C. Wainwright & Co. Please go ahead.
Hi, team. This is Kay Von Jern filling in for Heiko Ihle. He's on a flight right now. Thank you for taking our call.
Happy to take your call. Thank you.
Absolutely. First question. The grade step up at Terronera. Next week will be halfway through the second quarter. Any views of what you've seen with grades at site during this period so far?
Yeah, we have Q1 and Q2 grades a little bit similar. Q2 we expect to be slightly higher than at Q1. Ultimately, the real step up in grades is the back half, Q3 and into Q4.
Okay, great. Thank you. Then a second question, maybe a bit of a philosophical one. As Terronera approaches nameplate capacity, could you maybe talk about what you saw and learned during the ramp-up phase that maybe will be useful as you move other assets into production? I guess as a sweetener to that, anything you expect to add to the Pitarrilla feasibility study that you may not have expected a year ago?
I mean, how much time do you have of things that we learned during the Terronera build-out phase? I mean, I think as an organization, it's our first build from scratch, and there's a lot of learning, and I think we can apply a lot of that. In fact, in Q4 into Q1, we did a postmortem or post-review of construction of things that we can improve, so we can take that over to Pitarrilla. Obviously, continuity is a very important part. This year, Don Gray retired, and we replaced Don with Luis Castro, who's been with the company for 21 years. There are a lot of people that remain in the company that were involved with the construction at Terronera.
If we can move Pitarrilla along in accordance with our, what we think is our timeline, sometime in 2027, starting that construction, we can benefit from it. From processes and protocols and procedures that would be put in place at Terronera, I think those will be stronger going forward. It's just a lot better position as a company to take on a second build, so to speak. We're well-positioned. The biggest part of that is really understanding all the permits and permits that are required. I mean, as we went through, we originally got our MIA at Terronera about 2015, 2016. Pitarrilla already has its MIA. There are some other permits that are required around that MIA, specifically around the tailing storage facility, and we're going through that process to try to obtain that by Q1 of next year.
Behind all that, there's about 130 some odd permits that you learn to go through and how to navigate that through the government. I think we have the ability to do that a lot quicker than what we did at Terronera. We're excited about what we gained from a knowledge standpoint at Terronera, and we think we can apply it at Pitarrilla. For your second part of that question, at this point, there's nothing new that's surprising at Pitarrilla. There's a lot of work that was done. SSR had invested $145 million. They'd done a pre-feasibility study on underground operation in '09. They did a lot of work on an open pit operation in their feasibility study that was 2012. I mean, we've been looking at this now for three years.
There hasn't been anything I'd say in the last 6 months to 8 months that have jumped out that's been surprising to us. We have a good indication of what the plant's gonna look like and what the capacity of the mine is, and that'll come out in due course when we put out effectively the feasibility study or 43-101 feasibility study later this year.
Thank you so much. I'll hop back in the queue.
Thank you for your questions.
Once again, if you have a question, please press Star then one. The next question comes from John Tumazos with John Tumazos Very Independent Research. Please go ahead.
Congratulations on all the increased production and reigning cash and all the good things.
Thanks, John.
Some other companies in Mexico have had bumps in the road. One company had their plane shot down a month ago. Another company had a very tragic incident in January. You've got at least 4 locations where you're operating. Is there any particular secret to your operational success and good security results?
No, yeah.
confused why some parts of Mexico are so much better than others.
Yeah, I think that's the specifics to it all is there are parts of Mexico that are more secure than others. I mean, it's not to say that we haven't had our issues. In February, there was a code red in the state of Jalisco when one of the captains of the cartel was killed. That on the Sunday following, they put blockades into 22 different states in Puerto Vallarta or the state of Jalisco and around Puerto Vallarta was significantly impacted with blockades of the highways. Now, I don't think there was some unfortunate incidents with citizens, generally, citizens weren't targeted. It was just the target to the government to show power, I guess, of that cartel.
For us, it impacted our supply chains and we shut down operations for 3 days to make sure that if we had any safety incidents, we could get to a hospital. Like I say, it's not to say that we've not been impacted, but I'd say generally our areas that we operate haven't had significant violence. We've got a team in place, a security team in place that provides us intelligence, and we make various decisions based on what's happening in Mexico and what's happening in various states. Again, we've been at Guanacevi for 20 years and very low impact to all that. We actually sold our Bolañitos operation in January, so we're no longer in Guanajuato.
In Jalisco, like I say, we're 1.5 hours from Puerto Vallarta, which is considered a very safe area other than that 2-day event. There's about 3 million Americans and Canadians that visit that area on an annualized basis, and we're very happy to operate there. We keep our eyes open and ears to the ground and try to understand what's all happening.
Are there any variations in cost between your locations due to logistical costs where you maybe avoid a bad neighborhood or anything like that?
Nothing that would be significant. I can recall back in 2008 or 2009, we made sure we didn't drive by a certain town, which added about 35, 45 minutes of driving time up to Guanacevi, which was about 4 hours away. Ultimately, the cost associated with our security between Terronera and between Guanacevi and ultimately also now at Kolpa are very similar. I mean, a lot of the same procedures and protocols are in place. From a significant standpoint, I would say no.
Thank you. I apologize for even asking these questions, but.
No, those are fair questions.
There are other things in investors' minds.
Yeah. No, that's a very fair question. We get them often in our meetings with investors, happy to answer them.
Thank you.
The next question comes from Soundarya Iyer with B. Riley. Please go ahead.
Hi, team. Congratulations on the quarter. I was on another call, so I don't know if this question has been answered. On Guanacevi, I mean, the grades have come pretty low, year-over-year. Like third-party material purchase have also increased, like it's almost 1/3. At what point does this ore economics change, you know, and start to dilute margins that we stop purchasing third-party ore, or we continue doing that?
I mean, with the higher prices, obviously allows us to go after lower grade material. The great thing is we mined Guanacevi now for 20 years, and there's areas of the old parts of the mines, North Porvenir and, what we call Santa Cruz South, and Central Porvenir, that would have material left behind that would have been running 200, 225, maybe even 250 gram silver equivalent material that you can go back in and mine. As prices go up, your cutoff grades come down. Some of the grades that we're pulling right now are we had 275 grams, more from the depth of El Curso, which is on the Frisco ground, and we pay a significant royalty there too.
As we move through the year, we're gonna be going into an area called Milache, which is 100% controlled by us. We've got an area near Porvenir Dos, which we mined up at 2015. We've been working in there. Some of that's on Frisco's ground, some of it's on ours. Obviously, as a management team, we continually look at grades and cutoff grades and ultimately margins. As provided, the Guanaceví is gonna still continue to be profitable. As I say, we did north of $20 million of free cash flow there this quarter. We're gonna continue to operate it. Right now, we don't have a huge reserve base. We know we can get into 2027 and maybe into 2028, probably extend that. We're going through that work. We started some drilling in various areas.
We started to go back into other areas and build out our resources, we'll have a plan in place for the end of the year of how long, much longer we'll be at Guanacevi. I suspect we can get there for quite a while, especially at these prices.
Got it. That's very clear. Then just one more on Pitarrilla FS. I mean, is it still targeted for 3Q 2026? I mean, given that the spend, $1.8 million spend in 1Q was pretty low.
Yeah.
How do we-
We've made a lot of commit-
-stick to that?
Yeah, we've made a lot of commitments. Our spend's a little lower in Q1 than we expected, but we've started to push that work. We would be probably a handful of weeks behind, but not a significant amount, so we're still hoping Q3 of 2026. Maybe it ends up being more the back half of Q3 rather than the front half of Q3, but we'll see how all that progresses over the next couple months.
That's good. Thank you. Thanks for taking my question.
Thank you for the questions.
The next question comes from Craig Stanley with Raymond James. Please go ahead.
Thanks. Thank you for taking my call, guys. I think you indicated you expect grades to pick up a bit at Terronera in the second half of this year. Are you gonna be mining La Luz?
Yeah, Craig. Good questions. We're actually drilling La Luz right now. As you probably know, it's about 150,000-250,000 tons in our mine plan, in our feasibility mine plan. Right now we're actually drilling a little bit to depth so we can come up with a more efficient mine plan just 'cause of the scale and trying to figure that out. We took the rigs out. We were drilling Terronera this past quarter, and those rigs are going back to La Luz now that we have assays, and that will drill La Luz probably till midyear and then start building a mine plan for that.
I suspect, because of how things are going in Terronera, that La Luz will get pushed to Q1 or Q2 of next year. Again, we'll have drill results out before this quarter's out at Terronera and maybe some at La Luz as well.
Okay. Were you saying on Pitarrilla you're sort of hoping to get the final permits in the first half of next year and then start construction later in 2027?
Yeah. Ultimately, we have a very good idea because of what Pit Three is and the resources that's there and the underground sulfide resources that we'd be mining it from an underground standpoint. I don't necessarily think the economic evaluation is gonna be that far off than what we've historically known. But really the gaining item is the permit to build the tailing storage facility, which is gonna be a dry stack facility. We've been going back and forth with the authorities on that, hoping we can get through it relatively quickly. Now, at the beginning of the year, we thought maybe Q1 2027 we could get that permit. Things have seemed to be still sticky when it comes to permits in Mexico. We've heard a lot of our peers expecting permits in Q1, and that never came to fruition.
It was gonna be early Q2, and we're almost halfway through Q2. I'm getting a bit nervous on timelines when it comes to permits, just because we haven't seen a real, the floodgates open, so to speak. That's what we were targeting. If we could start building in next year, that would be great. Now, we are still continuing forward with our construction camp this year. We have, ultimately a plan of 800 beds. I think we're putting in maybe a little bit less than that to start, like 250-300 beds, and we're still making our movements to purchase mobile equipment and plant equipment, so we can do the basic and detailed engineering properly when it comes to the plant.
We're still pushing ahead, but the real kicker for construction decision is that tailing sand permit.
Okay. Then just the last thing for me. When you're out talking to institutional investors, does M&A come up more in regards to Endeavour Silver being a potential target? Because when you look at the silver space, you have a lot of these companies with much larger market caps like Pan American, Coeur, Hecla, First Majestic, and then it sort of drops off. You're sort of in this sort of middle stage, you know, before you get down into the sort of the real smaller producers. Just curious, like, you know, Terronera's now ramped up. Is that something that's in discussions? Again, more with clients.
Yeah. I mean, with the investors, people always ask, like, how do we wanna grow? We say we wanna be a senior silver producer. Yes, Terronera's ramped up hitting criteria through the plant. I think once those grades really start coming through and we get our costs down to expectations, I think there's a lot more value in our shares there. We wanna build that value in our shares. Ultimately, we're a pretty young management team. I think we're pretty still hungry to grow and find things. Never say never, it's such a small space that there's only a handful of people that can actually look at us, and there's only a handful of things that we can look at. We have a pretty good corporate development guy. Some days he works hard.
He's sitting right in front of me, so we are always looking at things and trying to figure out the right combination for Endeavour Silver.
All right. Thank you.
No problem. Thanks for the questions, Craig.
We have a follow-up question from Soundarya Iyer with B. Riley. Please go ahead.
Thanks, Dan. sorry for just butting, you know, getting with another question. just curious on the.
No problem at all.
-capital allocation. Curious on the capital allocation part. Like, you have $250 million in cash, and then this has been a record, you know, operating cash flow. How are you thinking about, like, some dividends or buybacks? Not this year maybe, but in, in the future.
Yeah, I think it's very clear.
The prices are beginning to be important.
Yeah, that's a fair question. I mean, for us, we're still on a growth trajectory. We're really excited about what we have at Pitarrilla. I think the markets can understand that when a feasibility study comes out in Q3. The expectations, the cost to build it is gonna be somewhere between $500 million-$600 million. If we keep generating cash at this rate, we'll have a good chunk of that built into our balance sheet by the end of the year, and then obviously cash flows into 2027. Until Pitarrilla is built and operating and providing its cash flow is probably the time we'd start looking at dividends or share buybacks.
At this point in time, we feel like the rate of return that we can get out of Pit 3 will be very valuable for our shareholders, and that's what the cash that we're generating is gonna be used for.
That's helpful, Colin. Thank you. Thank you, Dan. Thank you.
This concludes the question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Dan Dickson for any closing remarks. Please go ahead.
Thank you, operator, and thanks for all our listeners today. I think Q1 was a good quarter for Endeavour, but we still have more expectations going to the back of the year. As we say, Terronera's grades should pick up in the second half of the year. Kolpa will be operating close to 2,500 tons per day. We'll get more rhythm at Guana, Subide, Terronera, and Kolpa. Ultimately, we expect a very strong next 3 quarters and specifically the second half of the year. We're excited with what we have, we're excited where we're going, and look forward to getting a feasibility study out on Pitarrilla in the second half of the year as well. Thanks for joining today.
This brings to an end today's conference call. You may disconnect your lines. Thank you for participating, and have a pleasant day.
