Americas Gold and Silver Secures GDXJ Inclusion, Boosting Its Profile Among Junior Gold Miners
Entry into GDXJ Index Promises Greater Institutional Attention
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE: USAS) has reached a pivotal milestone: its addition to the Van Eck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), effective at market close on March 20, 2026. The GDXJ—tracking the most liquid small-cap gold and silver mining companies worldwide—serves as a key benchmark for many large institutional investors.
Paul Andre Huet, Chairman and CEO, highlighted that joining the GDXJ follows the company's 2025 addition to the Solactive Global Silver Miners Index. According to Huet, this new inclusion strengthens Americas' case before global funds and could boost liquidity by attracting further institutional investment. For many portfolio managers, GDXJ affiliation is a must-have screening criterion—putting USAS on a broader radar.
Strategic Asset Moves Bolster Long-Term Growth
Americas Gold and Silver has recently pursued strategic deals aimed at cementing its position as a premier precious and critical metals producer:
- Galena Complex Consolidation: In December 2024, Americas acquired the remaining 40% of the Galena Complex (Idaho) from Eric Sprott, making it the largest single owner of this high-grade U.S. silver asset and the country’s foremost antimony mine.
- Acquisition of Crescent Silver Mine: In December 2025, the company picked up the fully-permitted, past-producing Crescent Silver Mine, which claims the world’s third highest-grade silver resource just nine miles from Galena.
- Antimony Processing Venture: In February 2026, Americas formed a 51/49 joint venture with US Antimony to establish a new processing hub at Galena—delivering the only U.S. “mine-to-finished product” antimony solution.
- International Diversification: Americas continues to operate the Cosalá mining complex in Sinaloa, Mexico, supporting copper and silver output.
| Recent Strategic Milestones | Date | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Galena Complex 100% Ownership | Dec 2024 | Largest U.S. antimony mine, increased silver production |
| Crescent Silver Mine Acquisition | Dec 2025 | Access to 3rd highest-grade global silver resource |
| Antimony JV Processing Hub | Feb 2026 | Only U.S. mine-to-finished antimony facility |
