Altaley Mining Corporation ( (TSE:LUCA) ) has issued an update.
Luca Mining has approved a major optimization and expansion study for its Campo Morado mine, appointing Ausenco as lead engineering consultant to design a two-phase mill upgrade aimed at boosting gold and silver production. The project, to be detailed in a NI 43-101 technical report expected in the second half of 2026, will also include an updated life-of-mine plan incorporating high-grade Reforma and El Rey deposits.
Phase 1 focuses on reconfiguring the mill to a bulk sulphide flotation flowsheet, adding ultra-fine grinding to relieve current capacity bottlenecks and increase throughput while improving copper and zinc concentrate quality. Phase 2 will assess recovering gold and silver to doré from a precious metals-rich pyrite concentrate generated after Phase 1, with ongoing metallurgical test work and potential early purchase of long-lead equipment positioning Luca to enhance production levels and operating margins at this long-lived brownfield asset.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:LUCA) stock is a Hold with a C$2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Altaley Mining Corporation stock, see the TSE:LUCA Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on TSE:LUCA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:LUCA is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance—ongoing losses and negative free cash flow despite revenue growth and improved leverage. Technicals provide the main support, with strong upward price momentum and moving-average confirmation. Valuation remains pressured because the company is unprofitable (negative P/E) and no dividend yield is available.
