AbraSilver is a silver, gold and copper exploration company with projects in Argentina and Chile. Its shares were recently listed for trading on the TSX. AbraSilver’s primary focus is the exploration and development of the Diablillos Project, a high-sulphate, gold-silver deposit located in the Salta Province of Argentina.
The 80-square-kilometre Diableus property is located in Argentina’s Puna region – the southern extension of the Altiplano in southern Peru, Bolivia and northern Chile. The project was obtained from SSR Mining Company (SSRM-TSX, NASDAQ, SSR-ASX) in 2016.
As announced on June 22, 2026, the definitive feasibility study outlines a development plan based on a conventional open pit mining operation and a 9,000 tons per day processing facility. The study envisions an average annual production of 20 million ounces of silver equivalent (AgEq) during the first five years of full mine production. Initial capital expenditure is $722 million (including $98 million contingency). Full production is targeted before the end of 2029, taking into account the investment decision.
The company recently announced an updated resource estimate that it said demonstrates significant growth across the project, with measured and indicated resources now standing at 232 million tonnes, containing approximately 248 million ounces of silver and 2.54 million ounces of gold (454 million ounces of silver equivalent AgEq). Metallurgy in the measured and indicated resource is up 25% for silver, 48% for gold, and 30% for AgEq, compared to a previous July 2025 estimate.
