Silver's Best Year Since 2010 Is Sending Explorers Back to Deposits the Majors Left Behind

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – In 2025, Silver had its best year in more than a decade, and the ripple effects are only beginning to reach the exploration end of the market. The metal has surged past US$60 an ounce to trade near US$69 an ounce, driven by a persistent structural supply deficit, resurgent industrial demand from AI, solar and electronics, and expectations of a more accommodative Federal Reserve. Major-bank forecasts for where the rally ends now stretch to well past $100 an ounce. When silver moves like this, the leverage flows downstream: first to the producers, then to the developers, and eventually to the explorers sitting on high-grade deposits that were drilled decades ago and then forgotten. Active companies in the space this week include: Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF), Vizsla Silver Corp. (NYSE American: VZLA), AbraSilver Resource Corp. (OTCQX: ABBRF), MAG Silver Corp. (NYSE American: MAG), and Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (OTCQX: AYASF).
