VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group News Commentary – Silver miners are using 2025's price gains to expand operations and make acquisitions, with some analysts calling it the sector's biggest growth cycle in more than a decade. Earlier this year, the Silver Institute predicted 2025 mine output to hit a seven-year high, even as silver prices average 44% above the past decade's levels. The silver mining market is projected to reach $42.23 billion by 2032, growing at 8.75% annually. Investors are watching producers such as Magma Silver Corp. (TSXV:MGMA) (OTCQB:MAGMF), Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE-American: USAS) (TSX: USA), Silver47 Exploration Corp. (TSXV:AGA) (OTCQB:AAGAF), Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE:CDE), and Guanajuato Silver Company (TSXV:GSVR) (OTCQX:GSVRF).
Industry dynamics still favor silver producers, with supply constraints creating what experts call a 'perfect storm' for the sector. Recent quarterly reports show major producers posting double-digit growth, even amid ongoing operational challenges. Silver's dual role as both an industrial metal and a store of value is fueling demand from renewable energy, electronics, and investors, putting miners in a strong position.
Magma Silver Corp. (TSXV:MGMA) (OTCQB:MAGMF) has commenced its Q3 work program at the strategically positioned Niñobamba project in Peru, marking a decisive step toward the company's planned Q4 2025 diamond drilling campaign. The current field program is designed to refine drill targets and expand technical knowledge of the mineralized zones at Jorimina and Randypata, where mining giant Newmont previously invested millions in historic exploration.
Magma's team is now on site, running geological mapping and rock sampling to refine drill targets. The program is led by Senior Geologist Edgar Leon and overseen by Jeffrey Reeder, P.Geo., who together bring decades of experience in Peru's mining sector.
"We are excited to advise that our exploration team is now on site at the advanced Niñobamba silver-gold project," said Stephen Barley, Chairman and CEO of Magma Silver. "The program will focus on the Jorimina and Randypata areas. The work being carried out will assist in refining drill targets for our planned Q4 drill program and expand our overall technical knowledge of the style and extent of the mineralized zones."
The timing aligns strategically with silver's strong market momentum, as multiple investment banks have converged on $40 price targets for the metal. Magma's systematic approach to target refinement builds upon over CAD$10 million in historic exploration by Newmont, which returned compelling results including 17.4 metres of 3.06 g/t gold and 128 metres of 1.31 oz/t silver from the Jorimina area.
The company expects to wrap up its pre-drilling work and release rock sample results by the end of Q3 2025. Drilling at Jorimina is slated to commence in Q4 2025, with initial results expected before year-end. Additionally, Magma is actively reviewing potential acquisitions to broaden its exposure to silver and gold assets, signaling expansion beyond its flagship Peru project.
These crucial access rights were secured through a surface access rights agreement with the Comunidad Campesina De Tunsulla, which remains in good standing through the 2025 season and into 2026.
The broader Niñobamba project encompasses 4,100 hectares and is anchored by three contiguous areas—Main, Randypata, and Jorimina—believed to form part of an extensive high-sulfidation epithermal system with significant untapped potential. The company's strategy centers on applying modern targeting techniques to ground previously tested by majors like Newmont and AngloGold.
"The establishment of an experienced operations team we can trust will make a significant contribution to our success in Peru," added Barley in a previous release. "Peru is a sophisticated, mining-friendly jurisdiction with detailed regulatory requirements that must be strictly adhered to. The experienced team we are involved with will ensure smooth operations for Magma."
With just over 34 million shares outstanding and claims secured through mid-2026, Magma is shifting from asset assembly to active exploration in one of South America's most mining-friendly regions.
