Discovery Silver to Acquire Glencore's Kidd Operations in Strategic Mining Deal

Key Facts

Discovery Silver Corp has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Kidd operations from Glencore Canada. The comprehensive transaction includes the Kidd Creek copper, zinc, and silver mine, along with its metallurgical site and tailings management area in Timmins, Ontario. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Discovery Silver as it transitions into an active producer by taking over established mining and processing facilities.
