RISING SILVER, , RISING STAKES: Junior Explorers Position for Growth

An overview of key Junior silver exploration companies across the Americas, highlighting emerging opportunities for investors amid rising global demand and evolving industry dynamics.

 Some Junior Silver Mining Exploration Companies (examples, not exhaustive and subject to change): Some companies mentioned in discussions about Junior Silver exploration include: -

-Discovery Silver: Focused on its Cordero silver project in Mexico, which has significant proven and probable reserves. They also recently acquired the Porcupine Complex near Timmins, Ontario in Canada, aiming to become a gold producer as well. As of June 2025, Discovery Silver has been recognized for its environmental and social responsibility in Mexico and is actively expanding both its production and exploration footprint.

-Arizona Gold and Silver: is an active Canadian junior exploration company with significant exploration success on its Philadelphia Gold-Silver Project in Arizona, working towards a maiden resource estimate. They have a strong focus on both gold and silver.

-Reyna Silver: has achieved a major success through its pending acquisition by Torex Gold, expected to be finalized late August 2025. This means its projects, including those in the US, will be advanced by a larger company with greater financial and technical resources.

For Reyna Silvers previous shareholders, this represents a successful realization of value from their exploration efforts.

-Guanajuato Silver Corp. is a significant player in the silver space, but with a different strategy than pure exploration juniors. They are primarily a precious metals producer focused on reactivating past-producing silver and gold mines in central Mexico. This means they are past the early-stage exploration phase for many of their key assets and are actively mining and producing.

-Argenta Silver Corp: El Quevar Project, Salta Province, Argentina: This is Argenta Silver's sole and primary focus. It's a historically high-grade silver project located in a pro-mining province of Argentina, which has recently been rated highly by the Fraser Institute for mining investment. These figures are confirmed in a 2024 NI 43-101 Technical Report:: Indicated Resource: 45.3 million ounces of silver at 482g/t Ag. Inferred Resource: 4.1 million ounces of silver at a grade of 417 g/t Ag.

This positions El Quevar as one of the top undeveloped silver deposits in Argentina.

-Dolly Varden Silver is a key player in high-grade silver exploration in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, one of the most mineral-rich regions in Canada. Their flagship asset is the Kitsault Valley Project, which combines the historic Dolly Varden and Homestake Ridge properties. The project boasts: Indicated resources of 32.9 million ounces of silver at 299.8 g/t Ag Inferred resources of 11.4 million ounces at 277 g/t Ag They’ve also recently acquired the Porter Project, a historic high-grade silver producer near Stewart, BC. Their 2024 drill program returned some impressive results, including intercepts with over 700 g/t silver and high-grade gold, suggesting strong upside for both silver and gold resources.

Silver47 Exploration: Focused on North American projects, including the Red Mountain project in Alaska and the Adams Plateau project in British Columbia. They recently completed a merger with Summa Silver, creating a premier U.S.-focused silver explorer and developer. Their flagship asset, Red Mountain Project (Alaska) hosts an inferred resource of 168.6 million ounces silver equivalent (AgEq) at an average grade of 336 g/t AgEq. It’s a volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) system with strong infrastructure access.

Hughes Project (Nevada) and Mogollon Project (New Mexico): Acquired through the Summa Silver merger, these projects add another 68.7 Moz AgEq inferred and 10.3 Moz AgEq indicated resources, focused on epithermal silver-gold systems. The company is well-capitalized post-merger, with a cash position of over C$10 million reported in mid-May 2025.

Summary: As global demand for Silver accelerates—fueled by its critical role in clean energy, electronics, and investment—Junior explorers like those mentioned above and others are uniquely positioned to seize the moment. With ongoing exploration and favorable market conditions, today's Junior Silver exploration companies have a real chance to grow into meaningful producers as demand continues to climb.

Beyond organic growth, a significant possibility for these companies is a merger with, or acquisition by, a larger, established mining company. With quality assets, active drill programs, and growing investor attention, these companies present clear upside potential for shareholders looking to capitalize on a tightening silver market.

Which of these explorers do you think has the most upside?

 Historical and economic lens on today’s rising inequality, taxation, and trade tensions—examining whether current conditions echo the unrest that sparked revolutions of the past.   Tariffs, Tax Policy, and America’s Growing Divide As 2025 unfolds, a cascade of economic changes is reshaping the American landscape, raising questions about the nation’s social stability and the potential for upheaval. With new tariffs driving up consumer prices and tax policies favoring the wealthy, the United States is experiencing a widening divide between the “haves” and “have-nots.” Are these the seeds of revolution, or simply the latest chapter in the country’s long history of economic cycles? Tariffs and Consumer Prices: The New Tax on Households President Trump’s renewed tariffs in 2025 have quickly made their presence felt in American wallets. According to the Yale Budget Lab , the average U.S. household is experiencing an effective income loss of around $2,000 in 2025 due to the...

CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE (CCS)

Image
 Climate change remains a defining challenge of our time, and mitigating its effects requires innovative technology and considerable effort. Carbon capture and storage appears as a promising means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. Let's look at the overall function and potential of carbon capture technology, along with introducing two landmark projects that are set as new milestones in this crucial field. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the name suggests, is a technology that seizes carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial and power generation processes. This method prevents emissions from entering the atmosphere, thus contributing to the fight against climate change. Once captured, the CO2 can either be permanently sequestered underground in geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline formations and/or unmineable coal seams. Also there is the option of converting CO2 into a range of products such as methanol, which could fu...

SOME KEY ASPECTS OF TRUMP’s BIG BILL

Explore the downsides of Trump’s Big Bill: Medicaid & food aid cuts, rising deficits, & tax breaks favoring the rich. Learn how it impacts you! The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the bill will add approximately $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, with some analyses suggesting up to $3.9 trillion   The legislation includes cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by introducing stricter eligibility and work requirements, potentially reducing access to food assistance for millions of low-income Americans.   According to the CBO, the wealthiest 10% of households would see a 2.3% increase in after-tax income, while the poorest 10% could face a 3.9% decrease due to reduced benefits from programs like Medicaid and SNAP. This makes the bill one of the most regressive pieces of legislation in decades, exacerbating income inequality   A provision in the bill conditions federal broadband funding on states refra...
