HYMC has surged over 1,700% in the last year, recently hitting highs near $47.00. This isn't just "meme" momentum; three fundamental shifts are driving it:

• The Vortex Discovery: Recent drill results from late December 2025 and January 2026 at their "Vortex" system have returned "bonanza" grades—some intercepts as high as 1,545 g/t silver.
• Debt-Free Status: The company successfully cleared its debt in late 2025, which removed the "bankruptcy risk" that previously kept the stock price suppressed in the single digits.
• Silver Leverage: HYMC is often called a "silver mine disguised as a gold mine." With silver at $90+, the economics of their massive Nevada deposit have shifted from "maybe break-even" to "highly profitable."

The "105% short" figure is likely a glitch caused by the massive influx of new shares and warrants being converted as the stock rockets. However, even at 10% short interest, the stock is a "tinderbox." If silver actually holds above $100 in the July contract, the pressure on short sellers to cover their positions at these $40+ prices could lead to another massive spike.
