A Generational Technical Breakout in Silver Is Unfolding -- Are Miners the Real Winners?
Issued on behalf of Magma Silver Corp.
VANCOUVER, BC , July 9, 2025 /CNW/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – As gold continues to draw attention from central banks, a growing number of analysts and investors are turning to silver as the undervalued opportunity in the precious metals space. Robert Kiyosaki , author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, recently called silver the best "asymmetric buy" available and predicted a sharp price surge this month. With silver hitting 13-year highs and flashing what some experts describe as a generational technical breakout, momentum in the sector is building fast. It's already been a standout summer for silver, and market watchers say silver miners could be the biggest beneficiaries of this rising price environment. Investors are now zeroing in on high-grade, high-momentum silver plays, including Magma Silver Corp. (TSXV: MGMA) (OTCQB: MAGMF), Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA) (OTCQX: AYASF), Skeena Resources Limited (TSX: SKE) (NYSE: SKE), IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF), and Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE-American: USAS) (TSX: USA ).
A growing number of analysts believe silver may be approaching a major breakout, with some of the boldest forecasts pointing to prices as high as US$100 to US$130 per ounce . UBS recently issued a near-term target of $40, while several AI-driven models are calling for a trading range between $36 and $42 in the months ahead.
Magma Silver Corp. (TSXV: MGMA) (OTCQB: MAGMF) is ramping up operations in Peru with the formation of a full-service in-country team and the establishment of a Lima -based office. The new leadership is anchored by Carlos Agreda Minaya , a seasoned mining executive with both geology and business credentials, and deep knowledge of the Niñobamba property dating back to 2007.
"The establishment of an experienced operations team we can trust will make a significant contribution to our success in Peru ," said Stephen Barley , CEO and Chairman of Magma Silver. " Peru is a sophisticated, mining-friendly jurisdiction with detailed regulatory requirements that must be strictly adhered to. The experienced team we are involved with will ensure smooth operations for Magma."
Agreda will serve as General Manager for Magma's Peruvian operations, bringing hands-on experience from his work managing construction and operations at a profitable plant in northern Peru . Legal representation has also been secured through Dentons, with respected mining lawyer Fernando Pickmann acting as lead counsel.
The company's flagship Niñobamba silver-gold project spans over 4,100 hectares in Peru's prolific south-central silver belt. Magma controls three contiguous zones — Niñobamba, Randypata, and Jorimina — believed to form part of a single high-sulfidation system. With all claims in good standing through at least June 2026 , Magma has full operational control and is preparing for a diamond drill campaign targeted for Q4 2025.
Surface access agreements are already secured for Randypata and Jorimina, and discussions are advancing for Niñobamba. Magma expects to receive drill permits for Jorimina and Randypata as early as this month, while groundwork continues with Alpha IP geophysics, mapping, and sampling across the corridor.
The asset is far from early-stage. More than US$10 million in historical work has been invested by former operators including Newmont, AngloGold, Rio Silver, and Bear Creek.
Historic highlights from Newmont's drilling at Jorimina include 72.3 metres of 1.19 g/t gold and 130 metres of 87 g/t silver, results that once supported an internal pre-feasibility study pointing to a mid-sized mining scenario. Yet the system had never been modeled in 3D or explored with modern target design — until now.
With a tight share structure of fewer than 34 million shares, strong insider ownership, and a board with deep Latin American mining experience, Magma Silver is transitioning from explorer to operator — and now has the team on the ground to make it happen.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market include:
Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA) (OTCQX: AYASF) has expanded its Boumadine project in Morocco with strong new intercepts, including 1,454 g/t silver equivalent (AgEq) over 3.5 metres and 1,069 g/t AgEq over 2.7 metres. The Imariren zone has now been traced for more than one kilometre along strike, while a newly defined Asirem zone to the west has returned high-grade values in early drilling. Aya says its ongoing 46,000-metre drill program is helping to define multiple mineralized structures, all within a 4.2-kilometre corridor.
"We are excited to have identified the new Asirem gold-copper zone at surface to the west of the Boumadine Main Trend — a new prospective target that highlights Boumadine's potential to become a large-scale, high-grade project," said Benoit La Salle , President and CEO of Aya. "We are well positioned to quickly drill test this new regional target, and the structure can now be traced to the west over 9km. In addition, high-grade holes BOU-MP25-038 and BOU-MP25-028 confirm strong continuity of the Boumadine Main Trend at depth, while hole BOU-DD25-529 extends the footprint south at Imariren. With over 8.4km of mineralized strike length, we continue to demonstrate Boumadine's significant resource growth potential."
The company believes Boumadine has the scale and grades to evolve into a major silver-rich development asset.
In late May, Skeena Resources Limited (TSX: SKE) (NYSE: SKE) finalized a key power agreement with Coast Mountain Hydro to connect its 100%-owned Eskay Creek gold-silver project to the regional grid. This deal gives the company access to clean, renewable power at industrial rates of approximately CAD $0.06 /kWh—far below global mining averages.
"The agreement signed with CMH allows for power connection 17km from the Project," said Randy Reichert , President and CEO of Skeena. "By securing this tie-in, we eliminate the need to construct our own transmission line and infrastructure to connect to the BC Hydro grid, saving significant capital costs. Over the past month, we've successfully completed the first tie-ins to the 287-kilovolt("kV") CMH transmission line. This agreement marks another step forward in de-risking the Project and brings us one step closer to securing clean, cost-effective power at Eskay Creek."
By avoiding the cost of building its own transmission infrastructure, Skeena is de-risking the project while lowering future operating costs. Eskay Creek is positioned to become one of the highest-grade open-pit gold-silver mines globally, with substantial silver by-product potential that rivals many primary silver assets.
IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) continues to deliver high-grade underground drill results from the Juarez Zone at its Plomosas zinc-lead-silver mine in northern Mexico . Recent highlights include 3.94 metres grading 10.38% zinc and 7.5 g/t silver, including a subinterval of 1.70 metres at 20.95% zinc.
"We are happy to see ongoing great drill results from the Juarez Zone at the Plomosas Mine," said Frederick Davidson , President and CEO of IMPACT. "The location of these drill holes close to our underground mining infrastructure allows us to rapidly expand our mining operations into these areas. We continue to drill from surface and underground with the aim to expand mineral resources on several zones at Plomosas."
These intersections lie outside the current JORC resource blocks and point to strong potential for mine expansion.
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE-American: USAS) (TSX: USA ) has secured a US$100 million senior secured loan from SAF Group to accelerate growth at its silver-rich Galena Complex in Idaho . The first US$50 million has already been drawn, with two additional US$25 million tranches available upon achieving development milestones.
"The Term Loan Facility ensures we have the balance sheet strength to implement our aggressive major growth strategy at the Galena Complex," said Paul Andre Huet , Chairman and CEO of Americas Gold and Silver. "The US$100 million debt financing is critical to our plans to increase development rates and tonnage mined, and reduce unit costs at Galena. The Term Loan Facility has been strategically structured into three tranches to match the pace of our capital plans for a sustained period of robust production growth.
Funds will be used to ramp up longhole stoping, upgrade equipment, and increase underground development rates—steps expected to cut unit costs and raise production volumes. The company, now 20% owned by Eric Sprott , aims to generate over 80% of its total revenue from silver by year-end.

PlasCred Awarded $5 Million Grant from Emissions Reduction Alberta to Advance Neos Facility
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) - PlasCred Circular Innovations Inc. (CSE: PLAS) (FSE: XV2) (the " Company" or " PlasCred"), an Alberta-based clean technology company focused on advanced plastic recycling, is pleased to announce it has been awarded $5 million in non-dilutive funding from the Alberta government through Emissions Reduction Alberta (" ERA") to support the development of its first commercial-scale facility, Neos. PlasCred has already demonstrated proof-of-concept success with patent-pending Primus, its pilot-scale unit, which has been operational since May 2023. Primus has served as a foundational testing platform, validating the conversion of waste plastics into high-value Renewable Green Condensate™, a low sulphur, low carbon circular naphtha used as feedstock for the production of virgin plastic (" Condensate"). " By investing in advanced materials and circular economy solutions, we're helping Alberta's industries stay competitive, create jobs, and reduce emissions. This funding supports technologies that make better use of our resources while cutting costs. It's a win for both the economy and the environment." said Justin Riemer, CEO, Emissions Reduction Alberta With the Alberta government's support through ERA, PlasCred is advancing from pilot validation to commercial deployment, building on the technical and operational insights gained from its Primus facility to begin construction of the Neos facility and ensure a smooth transition to full-scale operations. " The Alberta government and ERA's support marks a critical milestone for PlasCred as we transition to commercial deployment," said Troy Lupul, President & CEO of PlasCred. "With this funding, we can move forward on construction, attract additional project capital, and demonstrate the role Alberta-based innovation can play in scaling circular solutions for hard-to-recycle plastics." Strategic Scalability in Alberta's Industrial Heartland PlasCred's entire scalability strategy is anchored at CN Rail's Scotford Yard in Fort Saskatchewan, inside Alberta's Industrial Heartland Canada's pre-eminent hydrocarbon-processing corridor. The permitted yard offers enclosed industrial buildings, a 200-car siding, existing utilities, and direct Class I rail connectivity. This combination delivers reliable inbound feedstock logistics and seamless outbound product shipment while giving PlasCred access to a highly skilled process-operations workforce and a business-friendly regulatory environment. Neos and the follow-on Maximus complex will be co-located at Scotford, capturing shared infrastructure and operating synergies. The Neos facility will initially process 100 tonnes (metric) of post-consumer plastic waste per day converting it into approximately 500 barrels per day of condensate. Once operational, the Neos facility is expected to divert 36,500 tonnes of plastic waste annually and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 51,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year. The design incorporates PlasCred's proprietary dual catalytic pyrolysis technology. This approach minimizes energy consumption, improves safety, and enables the efficient conversion of mixed and contaminated plastics, including PVC and PET. Unlike incineration or waste-to-energy approaches, PlasCred's process produces a circular petrochemical feedstock that can be reused in the production of new, food-grade plastics. The system has been validated through over two years of continuous operation at the Primus pilot facility in Calgary. The Neos facility is forecasted to generate approximately $19 million in annual revenue and $6.9 million in EBITDA, based on management assumptions regarding feedstock cost, uptime, and offtake pricing. Neos has an estimated capital cost of $25 million, with construction targeted to begin later this year, subject to final project financing and permitting. Based on internal forecasts and current engineering assumptions, the project is expected to deliver an internal rate of return (IRR) of approximately 22.8% and a payback period of 4.3 years. These forward-looking estimates are based on internal models and subject to risks including construction timing, input costs, operations, and market conditions. The projected economics remain strong even without accounting for potential upside from plastic credit monetization or byproduct sales. PlasCred has executed a definitive five-year offtake agreement with a global commodities company (" GCC") for 100 percent of Neos production at a fixed price of $120.00 CAD per barrel, inclusive of freight terms. The agreement also includes a right of first refusal (" ROFR") on future volumes from PlasCred's next phase facility, Maximus. This offtake structure ensures predictable revenue and underpins long term capital planning. Neos will integrate Palantir Foundry, an industrial data platform from Palantir Technologies to capture real-time data on feedstock, facility performance and product quality; generate auditable life-cycle assessments (LCA) that verify every tonne of waste plastic is converted into new plastic and support Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance; track plastic-credit issuance, greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions, and logistics for both inbound feedstock and outbound product; and fuse all inputs into a digital twin that delivers 360-degree operational visibility and AI-driven optimisation across PlasCred's entire business. The proposed Maximus facility is engineered to launch at 400 metric tonnes per day, approximately 2,000 barrels per day, and scale up to 2,000 tonnes per day, or 10,000 barrels per day condensate, through modular expansion. This co-location approach leverages existing enclosed infrastructure, CN integrated rail logistics, and shared site services, offering significant cost and execution advantages while anchoring Alberta as a hub for scalable, low carbon plastic circularity. PlasCred is well positioned for sustainable, long-term growth through a combination of strategic site selection, integrated logistics, and secured revenue from industry partnerships. Its co-located infrastructure at CN's Scotford Yard enables scalable deployment while minimizing execution risk. With support from the Alberta government through ERA, PlasCred is accelerating to commercial operations at Neos. This milestone highlights the strength of Alberta-developed technology and reinforces the province's leadership in advancing circular economy infrastructure. Neos represents a significant step forward in scaling clean, plastics-to-plastics innovation rooted in Alberta's industrial and innovation ecosystem. About PlasCred Circular Innovations Inc. PlasCred is at the forefront of rebalancing the future of plastics. The company is transforming plastic waste by granting it a valuable second life. With a vision of advancing towards a climate-positive future, PlasCred aspires to be among the largest advanced plastic waste recyclers in North America and globally. Their groundbreaking patent-pending technology is set to revolutionize the approach to plastic waste management and advanced recycling. PlasCred also has strategic partnerships with CN Rail, Palantir Technologies Inc., the Government of Alberta, Fibreco Export Inc., and a Global Commodities Company. These collaborations provide PlasCred with world-class logistics, advanced operational intelligence, and stable long-term revenue, supporting its leadership in the global circular plastics economy.
