As always it is important to note that investing in precious metals like silver carries risks, and market conditions can change violently with shock and awe tactics, that we have seen over the past 20 years. Before making any investment decisions, it's advisable consult with a financial advisor if needed. Also the practice of conducting thorough research and to consider your investment goals and risk tolerance.

Regency Silver Corp. (RSMX:TSX.V; RSMXF:OTCQB) has increased the size of its previously declared best efforts brokered private placement due to strong investor interest, the company said in a release on December 15.

Under the revised terms, the company will issue 20,000,000 units at CA$0.175 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of up to US$3.5 million through the placement, led by Centurion One Capital Corp. as the lead agent and sole bookrunner.

Additionally, the company also announced a simultaneous non-brokered private placement of up to 500,000 Units at the issue price, for extra gross proceeds of CA$87,500.

Each unit will include one common share in the capital of the company and one share purchase warrant, which will allow the holder to acquire an additional share at a price of CA$0.26 for a period of 36 months from the closing date. Regency said it has granted the lead agent an option allowing it to increase the size of the offering by up to an additional 2,805,714 Units at the issue price. If the agent’s option is fully exercised, a total of 22,805,714 Units would be issued, resulting in total gross proceeds of CA$3,991,000.

The securities issued under the non-brokered offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and a day under applicable Canadian securities laws, the company said.

The gross proceeds from the offerings will be used for drilling on Regency’s Dios Padre Project in Sonora, Mexico, and for general working capital purposes.

Follow-Up Drilling at Dios Padre

Regency recently announced that follow-up drilling at Dios Padre, its flagship project, intersected 23.7 meters of sulphide-specularite-supported breccia. This intersection, located about 35 meters updip and southeast of a previously highlighted hole, REG-23-21, was noted in a news release.

¹"Dios Padre is a high-sulfidation/porphyry mineralized system which has the potential for significant size," John Newell of John Newell & Associates wrote in an article explaining his positive outlook on this exploration company. The breccia found in the new hole, REG-25-25, is similar to that hosting high-grade gold-copper-silver mineralization in hole REG-23-21 and notable holes, including REG-23-21 with 38 meters of 7.36 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au); REG-22-01 with 35.8 meters of 6.84 g/t Au, 0.88% Cu, and 21.82 g/t Ag; and REG-23-14 with 29.4 meters of 6.32 g/t Au.

REG-25-25 is part of a 6- to 8-hole, 4,500-meter drilling program currently underway, which began on October 10. So far, four holes totaling 2,476 meters have been drilled, with assays pending. The campaign aims to follow the lower, high-grade, gold-rich breccia zone along strike, targeting extensions of high-grade mineralization previously intercepted in the three significant holes mentioned. The ultimate objective is to determine the depth and true scale of the mineralized system near the past-producing mine and explore in multiple directions.

Visually, the geology, alteration, mineral species, and abundance observed in REG-25-25 appear to compare favorably to those of the three key holes, according to the release, the company has said. Further, a new geological development is seen with this hole, that the mineralized shingle breccia that typically hosts mineralization is found on both sides of a new intersection of quartz-feldspar porphyry, the release explained. Regency intends to follow this new intersection updip toward the historical Dios Padre silver mine. It is likely, management said, that the extension of this new quartz-feldspar porphyry is at the bottom of the mineralized zone in REG-23-21. Regency also reported on three other holes, which hit significant mineralization but not the high-sulphidation breccia. Soon, Regency will start drilling the fifth hole of the program.

A 'Compelling Exploration Play'

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Newell said the exploration company was a "compelling exploration play."

"With experienced leadership advancing a gold-silver discovery during a historic precious metals bull market, Regency Silver stands out," Newell wrote.

Regency has multiple avenues for value creation, given the trio of metals (gold, silver, and copper) at Dios Padre. The company's founder, chief executive officer, and director, Bruce Bragagnolo, stated in a November 20 video that Regency's current focus is gold. The project already has a substantial amount of silver, as evidenced by the 2023 NI 43-101-compliant estimate showing an Inferred resource of 11,375,000 ounces of silver equivalent (Au eq), represented by 1,384,000 tons at 255.64 g/t of Ag eq.

According to Regency's Investor Presentation, historical drilling at Dios Padre revealed several zones of extensive, high-grade silver mineralization. For example, hole FMR 12-06 showed 32.5 meters at 408 g/t Ag, including 1.9 meters at 3,220 g/t Ag. Hole FMR 15-06 returned 28.8 meters at 467.8 g/t silver. When copper is also present, it often indicates a large mineralized system, the CEO noted.

"And this is a type of system that becomes a mine just because of the sheer size and grade of it," Bragagnolo added. This is precisely what we're aiming for at Dios Padre. We believe this system could host a multimillion-ounce gold, silver, copper deposit."

The Catalyst: Silver Finds Its Wings

Silver surged for a fourth consecutive day, driven by inflows into exchange-traded funds, momentum trading, and tightness in the physical market, propelling the metal toward its most successful year since 1979, according to a Bloomberg piece published by Mining.com on December 12.

The precious metal soared to a record high above US$64 an ounce on Friday morning, with prices experiencing significant volatility. Silver has approximately 10% last week, buoyed by dovish signals from the Federal Reserve, which implemented an anticipated rate cut and highlighted signs of weakening in the U.S. labor market, the report said. Lower interest rates provide a boost for non-yielding precious metals like silver.

Most analysts noted that the extent of the rise was challenging to attribute to a single factor. Price increases in silver can sometimes trigger further gains, as retail investors and momentum traders are attracted to the notoriously volatile metal, Bloomberg said.

The rally follows just two months after the London silver market experienced a severe squeeze, as ETF inflows and exports to India depleted inventories that were already critically low. Although London's vaults have seen substantial inflows since then, much of the world's available silver remains in New York, as traders await the outcome of the US's Section 232 investigation, which could result in tariffs or trade restrictions on the metal, the report said.

"Until the lights come on, silver continues to stage an increasingly risky blow-off top," Daniel Ghali of TD Securities wrote in a note on Thursday, according to Bloomberg. "We expect no tariffs on silver to reignite liquidity dynamics in favor of sharply lower prices."

Silver retained most of its strong overnight gains on Monday, according to a report by Jim Wyckoff for Kitco News on December 15.
