The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

Regency Silver Corp. (RSMX:TSX.V; RSMXF:OTCQB) announced the completion of its 2025/2026 drilling campaign at the wholly owned Dios Padre Project in Yecora, Sonora, Mexico, according to a June 16 release.

The 2026 segment of this campaign included nine drill holes, covering a total of 6,234 meters. Notably, drill hole REG-26-35 yielded significant results with 5.06 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 41.85 g/t silver, and 1.10% copper over 36.35 meters within a larger 96.00-meter zone that averaged 2.08 g/t gold, the company said.

These findings further confirm the presence of high-grade gold-copper-silver mineralization at depth.

"The 2026 drill program has been highly successful," Chief Executive Officer and Director Bruce Bragagnolo said. "REG-26-35 is the most significant hole drilled to date due to its high content of gold, silver, and copper. We can now confirm that the breccia hosting mineralization at the silver mine is likely continuous to the deeper Au-Cu rich breccia."

He continued, "The dimensions of the mineralized breccia at depth are now ~230 meters by ~150 meters by ~50 meters and the high-grade portion within that zone is now ~150 meters by ~75 meters by ~50 meters. Hole REG-25-26 extends the breccia mineralization ~125m below the Dios Padre mine with Hole 26-29 demonstrating continuity to ~250 meters below the mine. The mineralized zone remains open in all directions."

Key Highlights of Results

• REG-26-35 (High-Grade Gold): 5.06 g/t Au, 41.85 g/t Ag and 1.1% Cu (copper) over 36.35 meters, within a 96-meter zone of 2.08 g/t Au located ~25 meters along strike to the southeast from discovery hole REG-22-01.
• REG-26-29 (High-Grade Silver): 266.04 g/t Ag and 0.56% Cu over 7.55 meters, within a 21.2-meter zone of 107.73 g/t Ag and 0.27% Cu located ~250 meters below the historic Dios Padre Silver mine and ~230 meters up dip from REG-26-35.
• System Scale Confirmed: The breccia body hosting silver-copper-gold mineralization at the historic Dios Padre Silver mine has now been intersected at both ~125 meters and ~250 meters below the Dios Padre silver mine and appears to be continuous to the deepest drilling point. The down-plunge extent of the breccia host to mineralization now extends to approximately 775 meters.
• Vertical Zoning pattern: Results demonstrate a silver-copper-rich profile at shallower depths transitioning to gold-copper mineralization at depth. This is likely an effect of thermal gradation with silver-rich zones representing a cooler part of the system and the gold-rich zones representing a hotter part of the system. This is a pattern observed in robust magmatic-hydrothermal porphyry-epithermal systems.
• High-Grade Gold sub-intervals in REG-26-35: 10.82 g/t Au over 3.20 meters (544-547.2 meters) and 14.48 g/t Au over 2.8 meters (554.5-557.3 meters).
• REG-26-33 (Broad Gold Zone): 0.42 g/t Au over 150.50 meters (384.5-535 meters), including 0.76 g/t Au over 28.70 meters.

In terms of ongoing work, Regency Silver said it is currently evaluating the results from the 2025/26 drill program and continues to map and sample both the Dios Padre property and the nearby La India property. The drill has been removed from the site, with plans to resume drilling after the assessment is complete.

Geologically, the Dios Padre Project is characterized as a magmatic-hydrothermal breccia system. The company has delineated a large mineralized system that appears to expand at depth, with the primary breccia body now confirmed to extend over a down-plunge distance of approximately 775 meters. The system shows a vertical zonation from silver-copper-dominant mineralization at shallower levels to gold-copper-dominant mineralization deeper down.

The 2025/2026 drill campaign, which included both step-out and infill drilling southeast and up-dip of previous high-grade intercepts, has successfully confirmed the lateral and vertical continuity of the high-grade gold-copper-silver zone, Regency Silver said.

Analyst: Co. Could Soon Capture Broader Investor Interest

¹On March 31, Technical Analyst John Newell of John Newell & Associates reviewed the stock for Streetwise Reports. He said that gold and silver prices are experiencing a resurgence as investors increasingly seek tangible assets amid ongoing inflation, rising government debt, and escalating geopolitical tensions. In such a climate, exploration companies in well-known mining districts that start to uncover significant mineral systems through drilling can capture heightened market interest. This is currently the case with Regency Silver Corp., which has been reporting substantial intersections of gold, silver, and copper within a breccia system at its Dios Padre Project in Sonora, Mexico, Newell noted. This system may be the upper reaches of a larger porphyry-style deposit, situated within the prolific Laramide porphyry belt known for hosting major copper and gold deposits in North America.

Regency Silver, a Canadian junior exploration company, is actively exploring its flagship Dios Padre Project, located strategically between Hermosillo and Chihuahua City in northern Mexico. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, including accessible roads, nearby power, and a skilled local workforce. The site is historically significant, hosting a past-producing silver mine within the Laramide porphyry belt. Regency has delineated an NI 43-101 inferred resource of approximately 11.375 million ounces (Moz) of silver equivalent (Ag Eq), indicating significant potential even at this early stage. Ongoing drilling efforts suggest that the mineralized system may extend well beyond the currently defined resource area.

The Sonora region, where the project is located, is one of North America's most productive mining districts, home to several large-scale operations such as Pan American Silver Corp.'s Dolores Mine and Alamos Gold Inc.'s Mulatos Mine, Newell said. This region's track record of successful mining operations underscores the fertile geological environment and supports the potential for new discoveries.

From a technical analysis perspective, the long-term chart for Regency Silver reflects a pattern typical of junior exploration companies emerging from an extended bear market in the sector. Initially, early exploration successes drove the company's shares significantly higher, but this was followed by a multi-year correction phase as the broader junior mining sector faced challenging market conditions. During this period, the stock price stabilized, forming a base as selling pressure gradually decreased. Recently, there has been a noticeable improvement in the chart, with the stock breaking out from a declining wedge pattern. This breakout, supported by increased trading volume, indicates a resurgence of buying interest as the previous selling pressure wanes, the analyst wrote.

After breaking out, the stock price moved towards the CA$0.30–CA$0.35 range, meeting resistance likely from early investors taking profits. The subsequent pullback to the CA$0.18–CA$0.20 range seems to be a typical market consolidation, presenting a potential buying opportunity if the positive trend persists. Should the breakout be sustained, the chart points to potential future price targets at CA$0.45, CA$0.65, and CA$0.95. Looking further ahead, if exploration continues to yield positive results and market interest in discovery-stage companies revives, there is a possibility of reaching a long-term target around CA$2.20.

In robust precious metals markets, exploration companies that make significant new discoveries often yield higher returns than even the producers. As gold and silver prices climb, major mining companies intensify their search for new deposits to replenish diminishing reserves. This environment can swiftly draw attention to exploration successes, sometimes even attracting strategic interest from larger companies aiming to secure future production sources. Discovery-stage companies like Regency Silver offer a unique leverage potential: a single successful drill program that expands a known mineralized system can significantly revalue a project, particularly when located in a well-established mining district with good infrastructure and proximity to operational mines.

In conclusion, Newell said Regency Silver Corp. is at a nascent stage where it may soon capture broader investor interest as its drilling programs continue to delineate the extent of the mineral system at the Dios Padre Project. Located in one of Mexico's premier mining regions, the company has demonstrated significant potential through its high-grade gold-silver-copper breccia system, and geological indications suggest a connection to a deeper porphyry system.

"Based on the current chart structure and the exploration potential of the project, Regency Silver Corp. appears to represent a Speculative Buy near the CA$0.16–CA$0.20 range, with meaningful upside should future drilling confirm the geological model and continue expanding the discovery," Newell said.

The Catalyst: Fed Policy Meeting Creates Uncertainty in Market

Silver futures for July opened at US$69.95 per ounce on Tuesday, marking a slight decrease of 0.3% from Monday's close, yet showing an increase from the opening price the previous day, reported Tim Manni for Yahoo! Finance on June 16. By 6:54 a.m. ET, the price of silver had risen modestly to US$70.55 per ounce. This uptick in silver prices, similar to gold, coincides with the highest opening values observed in about a week, following the announcement of a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran aimed at ending their prolonged conflict.

Despite this positive development, the Federal Reserve commenced its two-day policy meeting Tuesday amid some uncertainty, as the peace agreement has not yet been formally signed by the president. Additionally, the specifics of the deal remain undisclosed, and the process of reopening the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz is expected to be complex and protracted. Given these factors, market sentiment this morning is somewhat cautious, with investors likely to maintain a wait-and-see stance as the week unfolds.

Looking ahead, if the Federal Reserve decides to increase interest rates this year as a measure against inflation, it could exert downward pressure on silver prices, Manni noted. This is because precious metals, which do not yield interest, typically become less attractive as investment options in higher interest rate environments.

Silver experienced a meteoric rise in early 2026, peaking at an unprecedented high of approximately US$121.65 per ounce on January 29, marking an impressive nearly 70% increase for the month, Faith Wakefield noted for USA Today on June 16. However, this peak was fleeting. The following day, a mix of profit-taking, margin calls, and intense market volatility led to a sharp downturn, marking one of the most significant single-day drops in the recent history of precious metals. This dramatic rise and fall highlighted silver's reputation as a highly unpredictable market asset, known for its periods of dormancy followed by sudden, sharp increases driven by factors like investor demand, supply constraints, or economic uncertainty.

Looking ahead, speculation about what could trigger silver to ascend to US$100 per ounce again is rife among experts. Historically, silver prices have oscillated within a narrow band for extended periods, only to spike during times of supply shortages, rising inflation, or increased investor interest. Stephen Maitland of Maitland Wealth, a noted analyst, suggested that any potential surge towards the US$100 mark would likely mirror this historical pattern: prolonged stability followed by a swift and significant rally.

"To hit US$100 is quite a large target for the silver commodity," Maitland stated. "While technically it is achievable, the probability that it happens within this calendar year is quite low."

According to Maitland, for silver to reach such a price point again, there would need to be a prolonged supply deficit coupled with favorable macroeconomic conditions. While these factors might eventually converge, he anticipates that it could take several years, Wakefield wrote. While opinions vary among analysts about the timing of silver potentially reaching triple-digit prices again, the consensus leans towards such an event being unlikely in the near term.
