How Luca Mining Turned $50M Debt into a $400M Powerhouse


Listen Later

Javier Reyes, Executive Chairman of Luca Mining, delivers a powerful update at the 2025 Rule Symposium in Boca Raton. He outlines Luca's transformation from a debt-laden $50M company to a $400M+ market cap producer with $20M in cash and minimal low-cost debt. The company now operates two fully producing mines in Mexico: Campo Morado (polymetallic) and Tahuehueto (gold-focused).

Reyes emphasizes the value of local expertise and cultural understanding in managing complex operations. With over 2.4 million gold-equivalent ounces in reserves and under 10% of land explored, Luca is expanding production and exploration, targeting over 100,000 ounces annually. The team combines top Mexican professionals with North American standards to ensure safety, reliability, and long-term success.

With more than 50% insider ownership and a strong institutional interest building, Luca is focused on tactical growth, M&A, and cash flow reinvestment. Supported by tight share structure and growing liquidity, the company is positioning itself as a leading mid-tier player in Latin America's mining sector.
