AbraSilver DFS Shows Diablillos Among Top Undeveloped Silver-Gold Projects with $4.2B NPV

AbraSilver Resource Corp. released the results of its definitive feasibility study (DFS) for the Diablillos silver-gold project in Argentina, reporting a base-case after-tax net present value (NPV5%) of $4.2 billion and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 42%.

The DFS outlines a 9,000 tonnes-per-day processing operation with robust economics, positioning Diablillos as one of the world's premier undeveloped silver-gold projects. The study also highlights multiple pathways for future value creation through heap leach expansion, plant growth, and ongoing exploration success. The project is located in the prolific mining jurisdiction of Salta Province, Argentina.

For precious metals traders, the strong project economics underscore the growing interest in primary silver assets, especially as silver demand rises from industrial applications and green energy technologies. A project of this scale could eventually add significant above-ground supply, but near-term price impact is limited given the development timeline.

Investors will now watch for AbraSilver's next steps, including permitting, financing, and potential partnership agreements. The company also plans to continue exploration drilling to expand the resource base. The broader market will focus on whether silver prices remain supportive for project economics, with key data including US interest rate decisions and industrial production figures from major economies.
