Overview:
Kuya Silver Corporation is a development-stage silver company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under KUYA and on the OTCQB under KUYAF, operating in Peru and Canada. The company's portfolio consists of 2 principal assets, comprising the flagship Bethania silver-lead-zinc project in the Huancavelica region of central Peru and the Silver Kings exploration project in the historic silver camp around Cobalt, Ontario. The business model is to advance the past-producing, permitted Bethania project back into production at small scale and then toward a larger operation, while retaining North American silver exploration optionality through Silver Kings. Bethania comprises the Bethania mine and the Carmelitas and Tres Banderas concessions over approximately 5,600 hectares and is supported by a preliminary economic assessment and a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. The principal model-linked risks are the project's development stage and dependence on financing, reliance on third-party mills and concentrate transportation, permitting and social considerations in Peru, and exposure to silver, lead and zinc prices.
Strategy:
Strategic direction centers on advancing the Bethania project toward production and growth. A core priority is implementing the project's preliminary economic assessment, which contemplates a 350-tonne-per-day underground mine feeding a processing plant, while using toll-milling of mineralized material as a bridge ahead of constructing and commissioning a new on-site processing plant. Mining is planned from three primary vein systems, and the company continues to evaluate resource growth and exploration across its Peruvian concessions. In Canada, the company holds the Silver Kings project in the Cobalt camp as exploration upside. Capital allocation as a development-stage company is directed toward advancing Bethania toward steady-state production, plant development and exploration, supported by equity financing.
Structure:
The company holds the Bethania Silver Project through Peruvian subsidiaries, with the project comprising the Bethania mine on the Santa Elena mining concession — which operated from 2010 to 2016 prior to Kuya's acquisition — together with the Carmelitas and Tres Banderas concessions covering approximately 5,600 hectares. Its most recent NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment for Bethania was filed on SEDAR+ in October 2023, and Bethania is the company's only property with a defined mineral resource. In Canada, the company holds the Silver Kings project in the Cobalt, Ontario silver camp.
Hedge:
As a development-stage company reporting in U.S. dollars, Kuya Silver maintains no commodity hedge book and is exposed to silver, lead and zinc price movements, which will affect the economics of the Bethania project. It is also exposed to foreign-exchange movements among the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar and Peruvian sol given its Canadian domicile and Peruvian operations, exposures it manages operationally rather than through a derivative hedge program.

Description
As at 31 December 2025
Kuya Silver's flagship silver-lead-zinc project in a major silver-lead-zinc mining district in central Peru (Huancavelica), comprising the Bethania mine on the Santa Elena mining concession (which operated from 2010 to 2016 prior to Kuya's acquisition), together with the Carmelitas and Tres Banderas concessions, collectively covering approximately 5,600 hectares. The company's most recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (filed October 2023) contemplates a 350-tonne-per-day underground mine feeding a processing plant, with the option to toll-mill mineralized material ahead of constructing and commissioning a new on-site plant; mineralization is planned to be mined from three primary vein systems. The project carries a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate (the company's only property with a defined resource), the detailed tabulation of which resides in the project's technical report/PEA. Activities are conducted through Peruvian subsidiaries.

How to read this tab
- The tables below list unit codes most often used in the Precious Metals sector for this company. MetalPilot stores contained metal or product in the codes below; grade and tonnage use separate fields. In side-by-side comparison views (stock page Portfolio tab, watchlist By sector), heterogeneous source units are converted to each commodity's preferred display unit (for example Moz Au, kt Cu, MMbbl oil) before summing; the same canonical codes appear in project data.
What the Portfolio tab shows
- The Portfolio tab presents a project-level view of the company's reported assets, built from publicly disclosed information (technical reports, annual filings, MD&A, investor presentations, MRMR / R&R statements, NI 43-101 / NI 51-101 / SEC S-K 1300 / SEC S-K 1200 / JORC / SAMREC / PERC / PRMS / COGEH filings, and similar primary sources).
- Figures are grouped by project type (mining, oil & gas, royalty, stream, processing facility, development, portfolio aggregate) and are shown alongside the headline reserve base, headline production, headline grade / quality, cost benchmarks, estimated lifetime, commercial terms (for royalties / streams), operational capacity (for processing) and a single-figure rating where the underlying data supports one.
- Each data table on the Portfolio tab is followed by ONE Assumptions footnote describing the modelling choices for that table; KPI stat-card assumptions appear in the bottom block instead. All legal and section disclaimers are merged into a single disclaimer list at the bottom of the Portfolio tab.
Concepts in your sector — Precious metals
- Resources vs Reserves. Resources are geological estimates that could one day be mined; Reserves are the subset with a feasibility study and plausible positive economics. Measured → Indicated → Inferred describe increasing geological uncertainty; Proven → Probable are reserve labels from Measured/Indicated. Inferred resources are not convertible to reserves under most codes.
- Grade (g/t) is the headline number on gold/silver pages. High-grade is often above 5 g/t; >10 g/t is bonanza territory; below 1 g/t is bulk low-grade. Open-pit cut-offs are typically lower than underground.
- AISC (All-In Sustaining Cost) is direct cash costs + sustaining capex + royalties + corporate overhead + reclamation, per ounce produced. C1 strips sustaining capex and corporate overhead. Both are non-GAAP and defined differently across issuers.
- By-product credits. Polymetallic deposits credit by-product value against the main metal cost; negative AISC after credits does not mean the main metal is sold below cash cost.
Portfolio tab — table guide
- Portfolio KPIs — company-level headline numbers aggregated from the featured projects (project counts, attributable annual production by commodity, attributable resource base by commodity, last filing date, operator share). USD value lines multiply attributable volumes by the resolved snapshot price.
- Portfolio snapshot — one-screen summary of the portfolio: counts by type and status, country mix, reporting standards used, operator share, primary commodity, attributable annual production summary and attributable resource base summary.
- Mining — one row per mining project, with columns for project name, location, status, primary commodities, production (with rating), reserves & resources (with rating), grade (with rating), costs and estimated lifetime. Multi-commodity projects emit one summary row per commodity.
- Royalty — one row per royalty interest held by the company. Columns cover the underlying project, operator, commodity, commercial terms (rate, type, cap, area-of-interest), attributable production, attributable reserves and estimated lifetime.
- Stream — one row per metal stream held by the company. Each row shows the underlying project, the streamed commodity, the headline stream percentage, the ongoing per-ounce / per-tonne payment, and attributable production / reserves.
- Processing facilities — one row per midstream / processing facility (pipeline, fractionator, LNG train, storage cavern, refinery, smelter, mill, heap-leach pad, CPP, etc.). Columns include nameplate capacity, contracted capacity, feedstock commodities and operational footprint.
- Development — projects in development status or in a pre-production lifecycle phase. The production column is re-labelled 'Targeted production (rating)' to highlight that the figures are plans, not actuals.
- Portfolio Aggregate — a single company-level row used when the company itself publishes a portfolio rollup (e.g. company-wide 2P barrels across all properties).
- Reserves & resources — detail — a leaf-category pivot showing every reserve and resource category disclosed across the projects.
- NPV (grouped) — all NPV rows captured from the filings, grouped by commodity, resource category, development status and pricing case. Each NPV figure is shown with its discount rate, basis (before-tax / after-tax), currency and value scale.
Ownership / Working interest
- Ownership percentage means the company's working-interest share of the asset: its slice of the project before royalties and before government take. It is shown on a 0–100 scale.
- Mines, oil and gas fields, and processing facilities — this is how much of the asset belongs to the company under that working-interest idea. One hundred percent is fully owned; a lower number usually means partners share the rest.
- Royalties and streaming agreements — the percentage is often not the story; what matters economically is usually the royalty or stream rate, shown elsewhere alongside these figures.
- Oil and gas — read this as gross working interest only. Do not treat it as net production or net wells after royalties; when filings distinguish gross from net, that shows up in how the resource numbers themselves are labelled.
- Below 100% — the short summary for each project names other owners and their stakes when the source says who they are.
- NRI vs WI (O&G). Working interest (WI) is the obligation to pay a share of costs; net revenue interest (NRI) is the share of revenue after royalties and overriding-royalty interests. A 100% WI well rarely produces 100% NRI; typical onshore U.S. NRI is 75–87.5% of WI depending on the lease royalty.
- Operator vs non-operator. The operator runs day-to-day operations; non-operating partners pay their WI share of costs but do not run the asset. Some Portfolio rows show operator share where disclosed.
Unit codes, conversion cheat sheets, cost benchmarks (AISC, C1–C3), reporting standards (NI 43-101, JORC, SEC S-K 1300) and resource/reserve category definitions live in the full terminology & units reference.
