Latest SUN Silver (ASX:SS1) News

Sun Silver has intersected silver-gold mineralisation from surface at its Maverick Silver Project in Nevada, including a higher-grade 1.5-metre zone grading 75 g/t AgEq. The results also extend the project’s antimony story and could influence future mine sequencing studies, although the shallow mineralisation remains only lightly tested.

Sun Silver continues to reveal extensive silver and antimony mineralisation at its Nevada Maverick Silver Project, with drill hole MV0004 hitting 89 metres at 70g/t silver equivalent and substantial antimony intervals above the current resource.

Rare earths and uranium stocks led a broad resources rally, while gold companies combined record profits with larger reserves and dividends. Yet strong company news did not guarantee a rising share price, with several materials groups falling despite better earnings or project progress.

Sun Silver’s 2026 drilling at Nevada’s Maverick Silver Project reveals broad, high-grade silver and antimony mineralisation beyond the current resource, underpinning resource expansion and development progress.

Investors rewarded fresh drilling results, larger mineral resources, project approvals and new supply agreements, although several heavily sold stocks showed that early buying did not always last.

Small-cap resources names drove the biggest moves this week, with discovery drilling, project studies and funding deals pushing traders into a handful of stocks. The strongest gains came where companies delivered something concrete: thicker ore, bigger reserves, better cash flow or a clearer route to production.
