The DeLamar project, located in Owyhee County in south-western Idaho, US, is a gold and silver mining development.
This milestone was recorded on 1 January 2026 after the mill achieved an average processing rate of 689tpd in December 2025.
Phase one has begun ramping up the concentrator, leading to the first concentrate sale to Northam Platinum in late 2025.
The project is supported by a right to mine agreement with MEGA Resources, which was put in place in October 2025.
