NOTABLE INSIGHTS

1. Sun Silver is the most leveraged silver play on the ASX
  • Sun Silver owns the largest primary pre-production silver asset in the US, Maverick Springs, with a resource of 480Moz at 68.29g/t.

  • Despite this, the company trades at just $0.16 per in-ground ounce, compared to ~$1 on the ASX and ~$2 on North American exchanges — highlighting a significant valuation gap and investment opportunity.

2. Silver demand is booming — and supply can’t keep up
  • The silver market is in supply deficit, driven by increased demand from solar panels, AI data centres, and solid-state batteries (which could alone require up to 150Moz/year by 2030).

  • Silver’s dual role — as an industrial metal and monetary hedge — is gaining traction, with growing recognition of its critical role in green energy and economic uncertainty.

3. Parallel workstreams are accelerating project value
  • Sun Silver is advancing infill drilling, metallurgical testing, and resource expansion simultaneously.

  • A second near-surface resource is expected soon, enabling possible early revenue and reducing pre-production capital costs.

  • A scoping study is targeted for Q2 2026, assessing multiple processing routes to maximise recovery and value.

4. The ASX still undervalues silver — but that may change fast
  • Australian investors are still warming up to silver, much like they were with lithium a decade ago.

  • Dornan believes silver will eventually be classified as a critical mineral, and as awareness grows, capital will follow the opportunity, especially with a supportive silver price environment and growing M&A activity in the sector.
