Blackrock Silver ( (TSE:BRC) ) has shared an announcement.

Blackrock Silver has released an updated preliminary economic assessment for its Tonopah West silver-gold project in Nevada, built on a new mineral resource estimate that increases indicated resources by 90% and extends mine life to roughly 11 years. The study outlines a predominantly long-hole stoping underground operation with strong metallurgical recoveries, designed to capitalize on the project’s favorable geometry and existing local infrastructure.

The updated assessment projects average annual production of 7.1 million silver-equivalent ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of US$17.44 per ounce, supporting an after-tax NPV of US$437 million and a 28% IRR at conservative metal price assumptions on an initial capex of US$190 million. Payable metal output has risen versus the prior study, inferred resources remain open for expansion, and at higher consensus metal prices the project’s economics improve sharply, underscoring significant upside and reinforcing Tonopah West as a potentially high-margin, scalable operation for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:BRC) stock is a Sell with a C$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Blackrock Silver stock, see the TSE:BRC Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BRC Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BRC is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by weak financial fundamentals (pre-revenue, ongoing losses, and heavy cash burn) despite low debt. Technicals also weigh on the score due to a bearish trend and negative momentum indicators, while valuation is hard to support with a negative P/E and no dividend yield.
