Latest Unico Silver (ASX:USL) News

Unico Silver has more than tripled its reported silver-equivalent resource base across Joaquin and Cerro Leon, ending FY26 with A$55.1 million in cash and a maiden Joaquin Pre-Feasibility Study ahead. The next stage will test whether geological scale can become an economically viable project.

Unico Silver has secured approximately A$60 million from institutional and sophisticated investors, taking pro forma cash to about A$110 million. The capital will fund 20,000 metres of drilling, a maiden PFS due in January 2027 and continued advancement of a DFS through 2027.

Unico Silver delays its maiden Pre-Feasibility Study to January 2027, integrating updated drilling results and advanced metallurgical testing that could expand resource scale and improve production efficiency.

Unico Silver has reported continued high-grade drill success at its Joaquin Project, pushing mineralisation beyond existing resources while advancing its Pre-Feasibility Study and securing key land holdings.

Mining news drove the week, with drilling hits, funding wins and takeover bids pushing several small and mid-cap names sharply higher or lower. The biggest swings came from tin, platinum group metals and copper, while gold M&A in WA stayed at the centre of trading.

Big movers came from drill hits, takeover bids and fresh funding, but several stocks still fell even after good news. That mix says investors are rewarding clear near-term value, while punishing names where timing, cost or delivery still feel uncertain.

Unico Silver has secured permanent ownership of over 10,000 hectares critical to its Joaquin silver-gold project, replacing a limited mining easement and reducing development risk ahead of its Pre-Feasibility Study.

Big moves came from small and mid-cap names tied to drilling, project studies and fresh funding. Healthcare, mining and takeover stocks all had a busy week, but not every strong announcement held its gains.

A handful of small-cap names posted big weekly swings, but the bigger story was a flood of new studies, resource upgrades and funding deals across gold, rare earths and battery materials. Investors chased scale and near-term production, while several raisings and gap-down reopenings showed how quickly early enthusiasm can fade.

Unico Silver’s latest drilling at the Joaquin Project in Argentina has delivered standout high-grade gold-silver intercepts outside the March 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate, underpinning potential resource growth ahead of the Pre-Feasibility Study.

Unico Silver’s latest drilling at the Joaquin Project delivers record silver equivalent grades at Breccia Puntudo and expands mineralisation at La Negra SE and La Morocha SE, underpinning resource growth ahead of the Pre-Feasibility Study.

Speculative resources names drove the biggest moves this week, with Patriot Resources, Brazilian Critical Minerals and Rent.com.au leading the gainers. At the other end, Qoria, SQX Resources and 4DMedical fell hard as capital raisings, weak follow-through and post-gap selling hit sentiment.
