Regency Silver Corp. (RSMX:TSX.V; RSMXF:OTCQB) issued a 2025 year-end corporate recap in a release on January 13.

The release emphasized a year characterized by strategic leadership transitions, notable capital formation, and significant exploration progress at its flagship Dios Padre gold-copper-silver project in Sonora, Mexico.

"2025 was a defining year for Regency Silver," stated Chief Executive Officer Bruce Bragagnolo. "We strengthened our leadership, raised over CA$8 million in high-quality capital, and materially advanced the Dios Padre discovery. The work completed this year sets the foundation for what we believe will be a highly impactful 2026 exploration campaign."

In April 2025, Bragagnolo was appointed CEO, bringing a renewed leadership focus on disciplined capital markets execution and systematic exploration advancement, the company noted.

The company also completed an oversubscribed CA$4 million brokered private placement in September 2025, led by Centurion One Capital, ensuring full funding for drilling at Dios Padre.

In December 2025, Regency announced and closed a brokered LIFE offering totaling approximately CA$4.1 million, again led by Centurion One Capital, bolstering the balance sheet and extending the exploration runway into 2026.

The financings position Regency "among the best-capitalized junior explorers in its peer group," according to the release.

Exploration and Drilling Progress 

Regency finalized a drilling contract with Bylsa Drilling and obtained all necessary permits, ensuring uninterrupted operations. Drilling began in October 2025, focusing on along-strike and up-dip extensions of previously identified high-grade mineralization. By the end of the year, five drill holes totaling 3,723 meters were completed, marking the 2025 phase of Regency's ongoing drilling program.

The final drill hole of 2025, REG-25-26, successfully intersected multiple zones of sulfide-specularite-supported breccia over a broad ~240-meter interval, extending the breccia system southward and 225 meters up-dip toward the historic Dios Padre silver mine, the company reported.

Geological features observed in REG-25-26 align with previously drilled high-grade breccia zones that yielded: 38 meters of 7.36 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (REG-23-21), 36 meters of 6.84 g/t gold, 0.88% copper (Cu), 21.8 g/t silver (REG-22-01), and 29.4 meters of 6.32 g/t gold (REG-23-14). The 2025 drilling significantly bolstered the company's geological model, supporting the interpretation of a large magmatic-hydrothermal system that widens at depth and connects to historic surface workings.

With drilling funded, permits secured, and a strengthened geological framework, Regency Silver stated it is entering the new year focused on advancing systematic step-out drilling at Dios Padre, refining structural and porphyry controls on mineralization, and translating geological confidence into expanded discovery scale.

Analyst: Mine Holds Significant Expansion Potential

Dios Padre is a historic silver mine with a 400-year history, reportedly having produced around 16 million ounces of silver from 500,000 tonnes of ore.

¹John Newell of John Newell & Associates described the mine as a high-sulfidation/porphyry mineralized system with considerable potential for growth. He characterized the exploration company as a "compelling exploration play," emphasizing its experienced leadership advancing a gold-silver discovery during a historic precious metals bull market. Regency Silver stands out, he noted, with multiple paths for value creation due to the presence of gold, silver, and copper at Dios Padre.

Following a recent news release, Newell updated Streetwise Reports on the company's chart status: "After a long decline and base-building phase, Regency Silver appears to be breaking out of a declining wedge, a pattern that often marks the start of a new uptrend. The pickup in volume as price turns higher suggests selling pressure is exhausted and buyers are beginning to reassert control."

In a November 20 video, Bragagnolo mentioned that Regency's current focus is on gold. The project already boasts a significant 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.

Regency's Investor Presentation noted that historical drilling at Dios Padre uncovered several zones of extensive, high-grade silver mineralization. For instance, hole FMR 12-06 revealed 32.5 meters at 408 g/t Ag (silver), including 1.9 meters at 3,220 g/t Ag, while hole FMR 15-06 returned 28.8 meters at 467.8 g/t silver. The presence of copper often indicates a large mineralized system, Bragagnolo noted, adding, "This is a type of system that becomes a mine just because of the sheer size and grade of it. This is exactly what we're pursuing at Dios Padre. We believe this system could host a multimillion-ounce gold, silver, copper deposit."

The Catalyst: Silver and Gold Experience Significant Gains

Silver prices hit a new record high early Tuesday, while gold prices stabilized after both precious metals experienced significant gains on Monday, according to a report by Conor Murray for Forbes on January 13.

The surge was largely attributed to the Justice Department's investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

As of 9:15 a.m. EST Tuesday, silver was valued at about US$88, marking a 3.4% increase and surpassing the previous record of just over US$86 set on Monday. Gold was trading at approximately US$4,624.00, slightly below the record high of US$4,630 reached on Monday.

The prices of these precious metals have been on an upward trajectory since last year, but analysts attributed Monday's spike to investors seeking safe-haven assets following Powell's disclosure that the Justice Department had issued subpoenas to the Fed concerning the renovation of its headquarters and his testimony on the matter, Murray wrote.

"We see increased interference with the Fed as a key bullish wildcard for the precious metals in 2026," said Carsten Menke, head of next generation research at Julius Baer Group, to Bloomberg, noting that silver, being a smaller market, tends to react "more strongly to such concerns," according to the article.

Zain Vawda, an analyst at MarketPulse, told Reuters that the probe is "driving investors toward hard assets" because the Fed's independence is "now openly contested," Murray reported.

The U.S. consumer price index (CPI) is on the horizon, with expectations that the annual inflation rate remained at 2.7% in December, Jim Wyckoff wrote January 13 for Kitco News.

The core rate likely increased slightly to 2.7% from 2.6% in November, which was the lowest since early 2021, Wyckoff noted. On a monthly basis, the headline CPI is anticipated to have risen by 0.3%, with core CPI (excluding food and energy) also expected to climb by 0.3%, mainly due to higher goods prices.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics did not publish month-over-month figures for November due to data collection issues during the government shutdown. The December report may indicate a reversal of the downward inflationary pressures seen in November, but concerns about data quality persist due to potential distortions from the shutdown.

The CME Group announced changes to how it sets margins for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures following a surge in prices and volatile trading. The new method will calculate margins based on a percentage of the so-called notional value, rather than a fixed dollar amount, effective from Tuesday's close.

This change comes after a "normal review of market volatility to ensure adequate collateral coverage," according to the CME.

An analyst told Bloomberg that the percentage-based method is expected to capture the required margin more effectively, reducing the need for frequent adjustments. However, if volatility exceeds historical levels or unforeseen events occur, "they may still increase the percentage," the analyst noted.
