How Higher Silver Prices Are Reshaping Developers | Joaquín Marias

Argenta Silver (TSXV: AGAG; OTCQB: AGAGF; FSE: T1K) President and CEO Joaquín Marias joins Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends with Paul Harris to discuss how higher silver prices are influencing project strategy and exploration priorities for developers and explorers. Marias points to Argentina’s pro-mining shift under President Javier Milei as a key factor improving confidence around policy direction and long term investment. “There is no way to go back to what it was before,” he said.Marias outlines Argenta’s approach at El Quevar, where the company is advancing toward a new mineral resource estimate while focusing on scale and exploration upside. He highlights a 40 60 exploration strategy that balances resource expansion with new discoveries across a largely unexplored land package, and discusses recent copper-gold results that suggest broader mineral potential beyond silver.▶️ Watch Argenta’s previous Investment Trends interview for more on El Quevar’s resource base and Salta’s mining backdrop: https://youtu.be/OcQw1-eWCH8Don’t forget to subscribe to the Kitco Mining & Kitco News YouTube channels to stay up to date on the latest industry news and interviews.00:29 - Impact of Rising Silver Prices on Developers01:51 - Resource Modeling Challenges and Valuation Assumptions02:28 - Argenta’s Resource Base and Exploration Strategy06:53 - Recent Financing and Institutional Investor Interest08:18 - Exploration Results and New Copper Gold Discovery14:50 - Geopolitics, Argentina’s Policy Shift, and Mining Outlook20:27 - Key Catalysts and Forward Looking Priorities__________________________________________________________________Kitco Mining is dedicated to reporting on the mining industry.
