A High-Grade Gold and Silver Discovery Emerging at Exactly the Right Time
38m @ 7.36 g/t Au
400+ year mining district
Mineralization Open in all directions
Dios Padre Project | Sonora, Mexico
Gold is reasserting itself as a primary hedge and performance driver as global uncertainty builds. At the same time, genuinely new high-grade discoveries are becoming increasingly rare.
Regency Silver Corp. (TSXV: RSMX | OTCQB: RSMXF) is advancing a compelling gold-copper-silver discovery at its Dios Padre Project in Sonora, Mexico, one of North America’s most productive precious metals regions, at a moment when the macro backdrop for gold and silver is strengthening and investor attention is returning to real assets.
This is not a conceptual exploration idea or early-stage theory. Drilling by Regency Silver (RSMX | RSMXF) has already confirmed thick, high-grade mineralization beneath a historic silver mine with more than 400 years of production history.
Dios Padre is evolving from a single intercept into a growing mineral system.
WHY GOLD AND SILVER ARE BACK IN FOCUS
Why Gold and Silver Are Back in Focus More Than Ever
According to recent market commentary, gold is increasingly being viewed as the primary hedge heading into 2026, while silver continues to benefit from both monetary demand and critical industrial uses. Gold prices have reached historic highs, and silver has followed closely behind.
Despite this, exploration equities have lagged badly.
Historically, some of the most significant discovery-driven re-ratings occur when metal prices are strong, but exploration companies remain undervalued. This disconnect often creates opportunities, particularly for companies like Regency Silver (TSXV: RSMX | OTCQB: RSMXF) that can demonstrate real geology, continuity, and scale.
At the same time, governments are grappling with inflation, currency debasement, and geopolitical risk. In these environments, capital often rotates toward tangible assets and companies capable of adding new supply.
Regency Silver is operating directly within this window.
Metal prices are strong. New discoveries are scarce. Valuations have not caught up.
Gold and Silver: Strong Macro Tailwinds Heading Into 2026
Gold and silver are entering 2026 with powerful macro support. According to Kitco News, Bank of America expects gold to be the primary hedge and performance driver, projecting an average price of approximately $4,538 per ounce, with the potential to approach $5,000 per ounce if investment demand continues to build. Analysts note that only a 14% increase in investment demand would be required to reach that level.This outlook is reinforced by tightening supply and rising costs. Gold production from major North American miners is expected to decline by roughly 2%, while all-in sustaining costs are projected to rise to about $1,600 per ounce, supporting higher prices in a constrained supply environment.Silver adds additional upside. With the gold-to-silver ratio near 59, well above historical lows, Kitco notes that silver has the potential to outperform gold in a sustained precious metals cycle, with historical ratio analysis implying silver price peaks between $135 and $309 per ounce.Against this backdrop of strong pricing, constrained supply, and low investor allocation to precious metals, companies advancing high-quality gold and silver discoveries, such as Regency Silver Corp. (TSXV: RSMX | OTCQB: RSMXF), are drawing renewed investor attention.

THE DIOS PADRE DISCOVERY
~12-storey building equivalent
The Dios Padre Project sits adjacent to a historic silver mine that operated for centuries. While the district is well known for silver, Regency Silver (RSMX | RSMXF) drilled beneath the historic workings and uncovered something entirely new.
In 2022, drilling intersected the first significant gold mineralization ever reported at Dios Padre:
- 118 feet (36 metres) of 6.84 g/t gold
- 0.88% copper
- 21.82 g/t silver
- The hole ended in mineralization, meaning the system remained open
To put this in perspective, a 118 feet (36 metre) mineralized interval is roughly the height of a 12-story building, carrying exceptional grades.
This intercept marked the beginning of what is now recognized as a sulphide-rich breccia system hosting gold, copper, and silver beneath the historic mine.
CONTINUITY, THICKNESS, AND SCALE
Follow-up drilling by Regency Silver Corp. (TSXV: RSMX | OTCQB: RSMXF) in 2023 and 2025 demonstrated that the discovery was not isolated. Step-out and down-dip drilling returned multiple wide, high-grade intercepts, including:
- 127 feet (38 metres) of 7.36 g/t gold
- 96.5 feet (29.4 metres) of 6.32 g/t gold
- 117.5 feet (35.8 metres) of 6.84 g/t gold with copper
These are not narrow veins. These are thick intervals.
Collectively, the results show:
- Consistent grades across multiple drill holes
- Mineralized widths comparable to major underground operations
- A breccia zone extending at least 180 metres along strike and 150 metres vertically
In addition, drilling completed to date in the 2025 program has continued to extend the breccia zone both up dip and along strike. The system remains open in all directions, with only a fraction of the total target area tested to date.
2025 Drilling Program: Expanding the System
Regency has finished its 2025 drill program with five holes completed, and the 2026 drill program is now underway. The recent drilling was designed to further test the extent of the sulphide-bearing breccia system at Dios Padre and to refine the geological model following recent geological breakthroughs.
Notably, hole five delivered exceptional visual results, intersecting over 240 metres of continuous mineralization, providing strong visual confirmation of the scale and continuity of the system. These visuals further support the interpretation that Dios Padre represents a large, vertically extensive mineralized system rather than a localized occurrence.
Assay results from the most recent drilling are pending. Once received, they are expected to provide additional insight into grade distribution, metal zoning, and the broader potential of the system as drilling continues.
A CRITICAL GEOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH
In the most recent drilling phase, Regency Silver (RSMX | RSMXF) extended the known mineralized zone by approximately 35 metres along strike and 225 metres up dip, intersecting mineralization only 150 metres below the historic silver mine workings. Hole 26 also confirmed the presence of a Quartz-Feldspar Porphyry intrusion adjacent to the breccia.
Porphyry intrusions are often the engines behind large gold-copper systems. They:
- Provide heat and mineralizing fluids
- Create brecciation and permeability
- Act as long-lived sources of metal-rich fluids
This discovery helps explain why Dios Padre hosts both high-grade gold and copper and gives geologists a clearer roadmap for future drill targeting.
Assays from this most recent intercept are pending.
EVIDENCE OF A MUCH LARGER SYSTEM
Geophysical surveys have outlined a large Induced Polarization anomaly measuring approximately 1 mile by 0.5 miles north of the historic mine.
Covering a district-scale area equivalent to well over 200 football fields.
High-chargeability IP anomalies are commonly associated with sulphide-rich systems, including copper-gold porphyries. Initial drilling into this anomaly has already intersected gold-copper-silver mineralization, supporting the interpretation that Dios Padre may sit above a much larger magmatic system.
This dramatically expands the upside beyond the initial discovery zone.
HIGH-GRADE SILVER ANCHOR
While the deeper discovery is gold-rich, Regency Silver Corp. (TSXV: RSMX | OTCQB: RSMXF) also controls exceptional high-grade silver mineralization closer to surface.
Historic and recent drilling includes:
106.6 feet (32.5 metres) of 408 g/t silver, including 6.2 feet (1.9 metres) of 3,220 g/t silver
94.5 feet (28.8 metres) of 467.8 g/t silver
40.7 feet (12.4 metres) of 558 g/t silver
17.1 feet (5.2 metres) of 1,145 g/t silver
A historic inferred resource outlines 11.375 million ounces silver equivalent at an average grade of 255.64 g/t AgEq, with historic mining grades reported as high as 750 g/t silver.
PROVEN LEADERSHIP
Regency Silver is led by Bruce Bragagnolo, an executive with decades of experience building mining companies and operating in Mexico.
His track record includes founding Timmins Gold, which grew into a 100,000+ ounce-per-year gold producer, along with multiple successful mining exits.
That experience matters as Regency Silver (RSMX | RSMXF) advances a technically complex discovery in a jurisdiction he knows well.
WHERE THE COMPANY STANDS TODAY
Regency Silver remains an exploration-stage company, but with a growing body of evidence:
No updated mineral resource has yet been published for the deeper gold system, and further drilling is required.
