Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Regulatory progress and a proven permitting pathway can de-risk Nord’s capex/timing, potentially lifting sentiment for silver names including EXK as the sector shifts toward producer-scale opportunities. The key near-term catalysts (MECP deliverables, 80-day framework, H2 2026 MRE) could drive re-ratings if execution aligns with guidance.
