With Hycroft Mining ($HYMC) set to release Q4 & Full 2025 Earnings, Mr. Silver just BOUGHT ANOTHER 150,000 SHARES at $42.05/share:

SEC Form 4 showing Eric Sprott's purchase of 150,000 Hycroft Mining shares at $42.05 per share


Sprott Mining now owns 36,903,704 shares of Hycroft Mining Holding Corp (HYMC):

Form 4 excerpt highlighting 36,903,704 shares held indirectly by Sprott Mining Inc.

Is Sprott attempting to acquire a MAJORITY interest in Hycroft? 

From the most recent Form 4 data, Hycroft currently has approximately 83.03 million basic shares outstanding.   Meaning Sprott would need just over 41.5 million shares to obtain a controlling interest.  

Mr. Silver currently holds 44.4% of the outstanding shares, and is only a little over 4 million shares away from obtaining a controlling interest. 

Sprott has been steadily increasing his stake (multiple Form 4s in 2026 show buys of 150K - 200K shares each), pushing from ~40% earlier to ~44.4% now.

Will Sprott Mining obtain a controlling interest by the end of the year in what Mr. Sprott believes is the best silver mining play on earth?


Sprott’s Form 4 Filing can be found on Edgar:
