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.

2. Ownership and Share Structure Information

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 that the first hole of its ongoing 2026 drill program at the Dios Padre project in Sonora, Mexico, has intersected sulfide-specularite supported breccia across multiple zones within a broad, non-continuous interval of approximately 250 meters, according to a January 28 release from the company.

Hole REG 26-27 was drilled 50 meters above hole REG-25-26 and intersected mineralization about 100 meters down-dip below the historic Dios Padre silver mine workings and approximately 275 meters up dip from drill hole REG-25-25, the company said.

"Hole REG-26-27 further strengthens our geological model at Dios Padre," Chief Executive Officer Bruce Bragagnolo said. "The identification of multiple porphyry dykes with associated sulfide-specularite breccias reinforces our view that these structures are fundamental drivers of mineralization. Systematically mapping and testing these features will be central to our strategy as we work to rapidly expand this emerging zone."

Previously drilled holes have shown promising results: REG 23-21 yielded 38 meters of 7.36 grams per tonne (g/t) gold; REG-22-01 yielded 35.8 meters of 6.84 g/t gold, 0.88% copper, and 21.82 g/t silver; and REG 23-14 yielded 29.4 meters of 6.32 g/t gold. Hole REG-26-27 is the first in Regency's 2026 drill program and targeted 50 meters above the strongest mineralization observed in REG-25-26. A minimum of four holes, each between 500-650 meters in length, will be drilled near REG-25-26 to further investigate the mineralization and determine its orientation.

Currently, analytical results for the intervals from the 2025 or 2026 drill program are not available, so comparisons of potential assay quality to REG-22-01, REG-23-14, and REG 23-21 cannot be assured, Regency noted in the release. However, in terms of geology, alteration, mineral species, and abundance, the zones appear to compare favorably.

La India Concession Agreement

On January 20, the company announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the La India mineral concession, located just 10 kilometers north of the company's Dios Padre property. The La India concession covers approximately 4,823 hectares in the Yecora district of Sonora, Mexico. The vendors, who are local prospectors with no direct ties to the company, have previously sold the Mulatos and La India mine concessions in the area, according to the company.

The La India claim is situated over geological formations similar to those hosting Dios Padre. Early Cretaceous andesitic volcanic rocks are near late Cretaceous plutonic rocks associated with Laramide-age porphyries in the district. The property features localized zones of argillic, advanced argillic, and pervasive silicification, which are typical indicators of hydrothermal alteration linked to gold-silver mineralized systems, such as the nearby La India and Mulatos gold mines, the release noted.

"This transaction is a strategic step for Regency," Bragagnolo said. "The La India option significantly expands our land holdings in the district and underscores our commitment to the Dios Padre area. The success of our drilling at Dios Padre supports our hypothesis that we are operating within a large porphyry system in the Dios Padre district."

To exercise the option, Regency Silver stated it must make an initial payment of US$60,000 and additional payments totaling US$580,000 over five years, along with taxes estimated at US$145,000. The company will also make a one-time cash payment of US$1 million to the vendors upon the publication of a National Instrument 43-101 resource, which estimates that the area within the La India concession boundaries contains at least 1 million ounces (Moz) of gold or its silver equivalent in the measured or indicated categories. This payment will be reduced by any amounts paid for taxes or as option payments. The vendors will receive a 2% net smelter return royalty, which the company can reduce by half by paying US$1 million.

Expert: Co. Sits an 'Interesting Intersection'

¹According to a review of the company by Technical Analyst John Newell on January 28, "The company's strategy is straightforward: acquire and advance high-quality projects in established mining districts, apply disciplined exploration, and grow value through discovery rather than financial engineering."

Regency is led by a technically experienced team with a history of advancing exploration projects through discovery and development stages, Newell noted. The company has deliberately kept its focus tight, prioritizing geological upside and capital efficiency in an environment where patience has become an advantage.

What makes Dios Padre particularly timely is the combination of grade and geometry. The system remains open laterally and at depth, and the breccia-style mineralization suggests the potential for both scale and continuity, Newell said.

Management has emphasized that ongoing drilling is targeting extensions of the known system, with geology supporting the possibility of a much larger mineralized footprint.

"Equally important, Dios Padre is not an early-stage conceptual idea," he wrote. "It is a project with confirmed mineralization, expanding targets, and a clear exploration path forward, positioning Regency Silver to deliver steady news flow as drilling progresses."

From a technical standpoint, Newell said Regency Silver's chart has undergone a significant transformation since his original analysis in the fall of 2025. Following a prolonged decline after initial exploration success, the shares spent a considerable time forming a broad base, seemingly exhausting selling pressure. Recently, the stock has broken out of a declining wedge pattern, a formation that typically resolves to the upside once confirmed. Notably, this breakout was accompanied by a noticeable increase in volume, indicating new buying interest in the stock. Instead of faltering, the shares have remained above previous resistance levels, consolidating constructively near the breakout point, which is consistent with a classic breakout-and-retest pattern and suggests accumulation rather than distribution.

Based on the updated chart, near-to intermediate-term technical targets are now identified at approximately CA$0.45, CA$0.65, and CA$0.95. In the longer term, if the broader precious metals cycle continues to strengthen and drilling at Dios Padre continues to yield positive results, the larger technical structure supports the potential for significantly higher prices over time.

"Regency Silver now sits at an interesting intersection," Newell wrote. "The company controls a high-grade silver–gold system in a top-tier mining jurisdiction, drilling continues to confirm scale and continuity, and the share price appears to be transitioning from a long base into a new uptrend. Importantly, this is occurring as the broader precious metals sector shows renewed strength."

As with all junior exploration companies, risk remains, the analyst cautioned. Results must continue to meet expectations, markets can shift rapidly, and exploration success is never guaranteed.

However, the combination of geology, management discipline, share structure, and improving technicals makes Regency Silver a compelling speculative opportunity at current levels. For investors comfortable with exploration risk and seeking leverage to silver and gold discovery, Regency Silver Corp. is considered a Speculative Buy.

The Catalyst: Precious Metals Surge Appears 'Relentless'

The surge in precious metals seems unstoppable, according to a report by Alex Kozul-Wright for Barron's published by MSN on January 28. After surpassing US$5,000 earlier this week, gold reached US$5,300 early Wednesday. Silver also saw an increase as the U.S. dollar fell to a near four-year low.

Continuous gold futures climbed by 3.7% to US$5,270.40 an ounce in early market trading, after hitting a record high of US$5,306 earlier in the morning. Silver futures rose by 6.5% to US$112.82, although the price of silver remains below its all-time high of US$117.4 reached on Monday.

Gold has surged 90% over the past year, while silver has skyrocketed by an astonishing 265%, Kozul-Wright noted. These recent movements are attributed to "heightened geopolitical risk and a broader move away from the US Dollar," according to Deutsche Bank strategist Henry Allen on Wednesday, the story said.

Typically, the prices of precious metals and the dollar move inversely. The greenback continued its recent decline on Tuesday after President Donald Trump expressed his comfort with the dollar's recent drop in value to reporters in Iowa. "I think it's great, the value of the dollar. Look at the business we’re doing. The dollar's doing great," he remarked during an event in Clive, Iowa. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, was down 0.1% early Wednesday.

Owning gold and silver has never been more costly, yet this hasn't deterred investors from purchasing them, Myra P. Saefong wrote for MarketWatch on January 27. Price declines have not triggered concerns about the rally ending; instead, they are seen as chances to buy at reduced prices. This reflects strong investor confidence and highlights the metals' role in long-term risk management. It also underscores the high price targets being set by investment banks.
