Silver prices are soaring and these ASX juniors are along for the ride
Silver saw a considerable price bump in July and while not as high as its pal gold, the jump could be beneficial for a bunch of silver juniors on the ASX. Silver rose to nearly $39/oz, that's a 30% jump and the highest since September 2011 – with investors flocking to safe-haven assets thanks to escalating US trade tensions. US President Donald Trump has announced 30% tariffs on most imports from the European Union and Mexico, with the latter being the largest producer of silver and a key supplier to the American market. The silver surge has also been driven by industrial demand from solar energy, electronics and green technologies, with the metal primarily used in photovoltaic (PV) solar cells as a key material for the electrical contacts that allow the flow of electricity generated by the solar panel. Analysts at Citigroup flagged that prices for the precious metal could hit $43/oz in the next 6-12 months. West Coast Silver (ASX:WCE) executive chairman Bruce Garlick said there was no reason why silver couldn't hit +$40/oz in the next 6-12 months. 'With a combined industrial demand and continued gold:silver ratio of about 90 the only logical result is that prices will rise,' he said. The company holds the Elizabeth Hill project in WA and is just one of several juniors on the ASX keeping a close eye on the silver price, confident the future is bright for mining the precious metal. The project previously produced 1.2Moz of silver from just 16,000t of ore grading 2194g/t Ag in 2000 before it closed due to a low silver price of US$5 an ounce. But recent drilling by WCE has returned bonanza grades of up 21m at 1047g/t Ag from 10m and 15m at 723g/t from 1m. 'We have a high-grade silver project in one of the best jurisdictions in the world and the project is located on a mining lease which will allow rapid movement to development and production should we chose to accelerate this pathway,' Garlick said. The recent assays were only two of 12, with the company confident of even more solid hits to come. Plus, in parallel, WCE is aiming to expand exploration both near mine and beyond into the broader 180sqkm land holding. 'We want to add value with the drill bit,' Garlick said. 'We know we have high grade silver and we want to find more and then move swiftly to development and cash generation. 'We have a mining lease and nearby processing plants which will be assessed in the near term for use.' These silver juniors could be a shoo-in Before we dive into the juniors, it's worth noting there's only one silver producer right now, and that's Adriatic Metals (ASX:ADT), which declared commercial production from its Vares operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1. Broken Hill Mines (ASX:BHM) could be the next producer, having recently acquired the Rasp mine and Pinnacles project in Broken Hill where it expects more than 50% of its revenue to come from silver. Then there's Boab Metals (ASX:BML) who're acquiring Sandfire Resources' (ASX:SFR) DeGrussa plant for use at the Sorby Hills lead-silver project in Western Australia. When you consider silver is expected to reach a market deficit of around 117.6Moz in 2025, that leaves plenty of slices of the silver pie up for grabs if any juniors can get into production. Last month, Maronan Metals (ASX:MMA) released a resource update at its namesake lead-silver project in Queensland to 33.1 Mt at 6.0% lead, 108 g/t silver. That includes an indicated (higher confidence) silver-lead resource of 5.3 Mt at 5.2% lead, and 116 g/t silver. Red Metal (ASX:RDM) also has exposure here, owning 44% equity in the company. Argent Minerals (ASX:ARD) is gearing up for drilling its 63.7Mt at 69.75 g/t silver equivalent for 142.8Moz Kempfield project in NSW, The plan is to assess early production opportunities and lay the groundwork for full-scale development. The testwork will evaluate multiple processing pathways, including heap leach and carbon-in-leach (CIL)/flotation options, with the findings expected to form the basis of a scoping study. Taruga Minerals (ASX:TAR) has reported up to 103g/t silver in recent rock chip sampling at its polymetallic Thowagee project in WA. The Thowagee tenement is especially interesting, as it features two historic polymetallic mining operations, with the Thowagee mine previously producing 15.2 tonnes of lead and 5878 grams of silver. An expanded soils and rock chip sampling program is planned, aimed at uncovering more anomalous mineralisation trends adjacent to historical workings, and expanding the strike of the known workings trend. Australian Critical Minerals (ASX:ACM) recently entered into a binding share purchase agreement to acquire Circuit Resources which owns or has the option to acquire the concessions associated with the Blanca, Riqueza, Flint, Cerro Rayas, Liro and Kamika projects in Peru. These are primarily focused on gold and copper with silver, base metals and lithium. Riqueza, is most notable, being adjacent to tenements held by Anglo American, and home to historic silver grades from rock chips of up to 2238g/t. Drilling permitting is planned for the second half of 2025. Silver Mines (ASX:SVL) has taken a major step forward to aid the redetermination of the Development Application for its Bowdens project near Mudgee in NSW, while also pursuing growth opportunities across its expanding portfolio. The company has now provided all information requested by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) to assist with the redetermination. Antipa Minerals (ASX:AZY) also has a dash of silver, 666,000oz to be exact, at its Minyari Dome project in WA. Who else has silver exposure? Firetail Resources (ASX:FTL) also has some silver up its sleeve, with results of up to 6630g/t returned from mapping and sampling at its new Excelsior Springs gold project in Nevada, USA. The company recently entered into an option to acquire 80% of the project, and while gold is the main focus, there's a secondary silver opportunity around the Blue Dick mine. Sierra Nevada Gold (ASX:SNX) reported more than 3400g/t silver in rock chip sampling at its Blackhawk project in Nevada back in March, highlighting some serious multi-element potential. Standout results included 3460g/t silver, 1.47% copper and 0.38% antimony, 256g/t silver, 4.52% copper and 0.83g/t gold, and 10g/t silver and 0.33% copper. White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) also has some silver at its Rae (predominately copper) project in Canada, with drilling last quarter intersecting up to 34.1g/t silver. Then there's Lithium Universe (ASX:LU7) who are taking a different approach to the precious metal with its recently acquired solar panel recycling technology. The plan is to recover silver during the recycling process. While the tech is currently in the patent submission stage, the licence will be made available to LU7 once it is ready. At Stockhead, we tell it like it is.

Resources Top 5: Gold results point to much bigger Little Gem for Ora Banda
OBM's expansive plan to extend the life of its Davyhurst gold operations is taking shape PIM has received commitments to raise $1.76m in a placement to sophisticated and professional investors The iron ore potential of CuFe's Camp Creek project in the NT has been enhanced by high-grade samples Your standout small cap resources stocks for Wednesday, July 30, 2025 Ora Banda (ASX:OBM) The signs point to Ora Banda having more than just a Little Gem on its hands as its expansive plan to extend the life of its Davyhurst gold operations in WA takes shape. High-grade gold results from phase 2 drilling of up to 8.8m at 6.3g/t from 320m below surface have extended the multi-lode gold system at Little Gem prospect to a strike of more than 1km. The gold producer is not scrimping on the task with $73m budgeted to deliver an extraordinary 329km of drilling in FY26, which is double the past three years of drilling activity combined. This major spend will underpin mine life extension at Riverina and Sand King underground mines, assess whether the Waihi deposit can be taken underground, advance the Little Gem, Round Dam and Mulline prospects, and pursue belt-wide exploration over 140km of tenure. It is little wonder that it is spending up as the previous spend saw 189km drilled to identify two now developed underground mines and numerous advanced targets. Ora Banda Mining increased 9.5% to 74.5c with more than 12m shares changing hands valued at $9m. The company's quest to find more gold is proving fruitful, with the latest 16-hole program at Little Gem confirming high gold grades and large lode widths. Four lodes have been modelled – Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire and Tanzanite – and the 8.8m intersection in LGDD25008 is a 400-metre step out to the north of LGDD25005 which previously returned 22.7m at 5.0g/t. OBM said this showed the prospective strike of a well-developed high-grade shoot on the Diamond Lode was more than 1,000 metres and remained open at depth. While only in the early stage of drill testing, the company is confident of the greenfields potential of the Little Gem-Sunraysia system and has started a phase 3 follow up program. This will see 38 holes drilled with two diamond rigs and one RC rig active targeting the Diamond and Ruby lodes down to 500 metres, with some deeper drill testing of the system down to 750 metres below surface planned. Other lodes will be tested over the course of FY26. Pinnacle Minerals (ASX:PIM) With a primary focus on lithium, it has been a period of relative dormancy for Pinnacle Minerals but with signs pointing to a positive future and improving prices, the company is well placed for growth. As well as its battery metals projects in Canada, headed by the Adina East lithium project in Quebec, technology minerals in Australia, including rare earths in South Australia and heavy minerals in WA, strengthen the company's foundation. Pinnacle, which also continues to evaluate and pursue other strategic opportunities, has reached 5.6c, an increase of 40% on a pre-trading halt close. The halt was lifted after the company announced that it has received firm commitments to raise approximately $1.76m before costs in a two-tranche placement to sophisticated and professional investors. New shares will be issued at 4c per share, with one free attaching option issued for every two new shares subscribed. The options will be exercisable at 8c and will expire three years from the date of issue. Pinnacle also intends to offer a bonus option entitlement issue to existing shareholders as a reward for their continued support. Funds raised under the placement will be used to: Advance the company's exploration programs in Canada and Australia; support general working capital requirements; and provide flexibility to evaluate and pursue strategic opportunities. The placement will be completed in two tranches: Tranche 1 – Comprising the issue of 11,365,815 shares to raise about $454,632, utilising the company's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. Tranche 2 – Comprising the issue of 32,634,185 shares to raise about $1,305,367, subject to shareholder approval at a general meeting on or around September 15, 2025. The placement was jointly managed by AE Advisors and Oakley Capital Partners. CuFe (ASX:CUF) The iron ore potential of the NT's north has been enhanced by CuFe with a review and fieldwork identifying samples assaying 68.78% and 67.91% Fe at Camp Creek project in proximity to its Yarram resource. This work has seen CuFe (ASX:CUF) reach a 12-month high of 1.2c, a lift of 20% on the previous close. The review showed the best assay in samples gathered by previous explorers between 2013 and 2018 graded 68.78% Fe and has defined three target areas for further exploration. In June 2025 a one-day field reconnaissance was held to validate the historical sampling and assess outcropping mineralisation, focusing on one of the three targets. Fifteen rock chip samples were collected, with 10 from iron-enriched outcrops returning assays exceeding 60% Fe, including a maximum of 67.91%. CuFe interprets these results as encouraging evidence of EL33835's potential to host high-grade iron mineralisation, enhanced by its closeness to Yarram, which is 5km away and has an inferred resource of 12.7Mt at 55.4% Fe. CUF plans to advance Camp Creek with further mapping and sampling across remaining target areas to guide future drill targeting. Green Critical Minerals (ASX:GCM) To capitalise on increasing US demand for advanced thermal management solutions, including its very high-density graphite blocks, Green Critical Minerals is seeking to list on a US exchange to complement its ASX listing. This will enable the company to access a broad customer base, engage directly with leading technology manufacturers and tap into one of the world's deepest and most sophisticated capital markets. It will also unlock substantial commercial value through partnerships, distribution networks and market share expansion. This move follows GCM setting up a US entity to support product registration requirements, streamline logistics and enable direct engagement with North American customers in the advanced electronics, semiconductor and infrastructure sectors. Green Critical Minerals is evaluating the most effective pathway for a US market entry with consideration given to the most suitable exchange – either the NYSE or Nasdaq – and has engaged leading legal advisors HWL Ebsworth to support this process. It has also formed a dedicated selection committee tasked with advancing advisor and investment bank appointments. Trigg Minerals (ASX:TMG) To strengthen its focus on developing domestic processing capability for critical minerals in the United States, Trigg Minerals (ASX:TMG) has appointed US-based special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) veteran James Graf as a non-executive director. The company's US efforts are centred on the flagship Antimony Canyon Project in Utah while it also has antimony interests in Australia. Graf has more than 35 years of international capital markets, M&A and corporate management experience and will assist Trigg as it advances plans for a US mainboard listing. He is currently CEO of Graf Global Corp, his eighth SPAC as CEO, CFO and/or active director. He also serves as interim CFO of NKGen Biotech, his last SPAC target. Trigg will leverage his deep cross-border experience in banking and SPACs, including resources transactions and Australian deals, to sharpen its execution strategy and build strong engagement with US investors. 'Antimony Canyon Project is a globally unique asset and the addition of James to the team is an exciting step in the development of Trigg Minerals,' chairman Timothy Morrison said.

Lotto: Perth woman in her 70s claims $4.2m slice of Saturday's $30m Megadraw jackpot
The West Aussie winner of Saturday's Megadraw has come forward to collect her slice of the $30 million jackpot, revealing how a 'funny feeling' prompted her to buy the lucky slip. At the eleventh hour, the woman in her 70s decided to go back to The Lucky Charm in Harrisdale and purchase a ticket for herself after she bought one earlier as a birthday gift for her adult son. 'There was something in the back of my mind telling me to go and buy another ticket,' the winner said. 'I managed to get to the newsagents in Harrisdale before it closed on Saturday and thought nothing more of it until I was shopping the next day and decided to check my ticket in-store. 'I was shocked when the girl in the store quietly told me I won, but I couldn't let myself believe it until I got to Lotterywest to verify the win. I don't think I slept a wink that night.' Overjoyed by the mammoth win, the woman from Perth's southeast plans to pay off her mortgage and set off on a holiday with her newfound fortune. Saturday's Lotto luck follows a tidy division one win in Monday night's Millionaire Medley game. The $1 million ticket was sold at Riverton Forum Lottery Kiosk, with the winner yet to claim their cash. Lotterywest spokesperson Zoe Wender said the State's recent big wins come after a string of division one hauls this month. 'WA has celebrated eight division one prizes since the start of July and we hope to see that number grow following tonight's $20 million OZ Lotto draw,' she said. 'It's been absolutely freezing in Perth over the last few days so it's wonderful to hear heartwarming stories of Lotto wins changing the lives of West Aussies.' Punters will get the chance to be in the running for Tuesday's $20m Oz Lotto jackpot, with tickets available for purchase online or in-store until 6pm.
