Luca Mining Named to 2025 OTCQX Best 50: A Beacon of Growth and Performance

Luca Mining Corp. (TSXV: LUCA) (OTCQX: LUCMF) has been named to the prestigious 2025 OTCQX® Best 50, a ranking of top-performing companies traded on the OTCQX Best Market. This recognition is a testament to the company's exceptional performance in 2024, as well as its commitment to creating shareholder value and maintaining high financial standards. The OTCQX Best 50 is an annual ranking that considers an equal weighting of one-year total return and average daily dollar volume growth in the previous calendar year.

Luca Mining's inclusion in the 2025 OTCQX Best 50 is a reflection of its strong performance in 2024, driven by several key factors. The company's Campo Morado polymetallic VMS mine, located in Guerrero State, is currently undergoing an optimization program. This program has already generated significant improvements in recoveries, grades, efficiencies, and cashflows, contributing to the company's robust performance. Additionally, Luca Mining is commissioning the Tahuehueto mill, which is expected to achieve commercial production in early 2025. This upcoming milestone signals potential growth and increased production for the company.



Luca Mining's diversified production portfolio, which includes gold, copper, zinc, silver, and lead, has also contributed to its stability and strong performance. This diversification reduces the impact of fluctuations in any single commodity price, allowing the company to maintain a steady trajectory. Furthermore, Luca Mining's adherence to high financial standards, best practice corporate governance, and compliance with applicable securities laws has likely contributed to its inclusion in the 2025 OTCQX Best 50.

Luca Mining's CEO, Dan Barnholden, expressed his enthusiasm about the company's achievement, stating, "We are very pleased to rank in the top 5 of such an esteemed group of 50 high performing companies. We greatly appreciate the recognition of our efforts at creating shareholder value. We fully expect 2025 to be another transformative year for Luca as we continue to grow our production and cash flow and embark on exciting exploration programs on both our gold and our base metals assets."

Luca Mining's inclusion in the 2025 OTCQX Best 50 demonstrates the company's commitment to growth, performance, and shareholder value. As the company continues to expand its operations and explore new opportunities, investors can expect Luca Mining to maintain its position as a beacon of growth and performance in the mining sector.
