AbraSilver Resource Corp. (TSXV: ABRA; OTCQX: ABBRF) CEO John Miniotis says the Diablillos silver gold project is entering its strongest development window yet as Argentina’s new RGI regime reshapes project economics. Speaking with Kitco Mining at the NBF CEO Mining Conference in London, Miniotis says, “RGI has been an absolute game changer for Argentina as a whole, and specifically for our project.” Based on current metal prices, the tax and export duty changes alone represent more than one billion dollars in value uplift.

AbraSilver expects EIA approval, RGI approval, and a full feasibility study by the end of Q1 2026. The project is anchored by a 350 million ounce silver equivalent resource, ongoing high-grade drilling, and a balance sheet holding 65 million dollars in cash with no debt. Miniotis says the company will review multiple financing options ahead of a final investment decision targeted for late Q3 2026, with early works construction already funded.

Key themes shaping AbraSilver’s next development phase include:
 • Diablillos’ potential to become one of the world’s largest primary silver mines
 • Feasibility study delivery targeted for Q1 2026
 • Financing paths for a roughly 540 million dollar build
 • High-grade gold and silver results across multiple zones
 • Expansion scenarios up to 18,000 tons per day
 • Catalysts leading to a construction decision next year
