Investor presentation summary
18 Sep, 2026Strategic vision and development pathway
Advancing toward production with a globally significant silver resource of 330 Moz AgEq across two 100%-owned districts in Santa Cruz, Argentina, with a maiden pre-feasibility study (PFS) due January 2027.
Development strategy focuses on an oxide-led, open-pit, free-milling starter operation, with future polymetallic sulphide expansion at Cerro Leon.
Over 68,000 meters drilled since Q4 2024, with an additional 30,000 meters planned for 2026 to support resource growth and conversion.
Binding agreement to acquire 10,172 ha of freehold land for mine development, with granted mining leases and a clear path to full mining approvals.
Application for Argentina’s RIGI regime with the PFS, targeting 25% corporate tax and 30-year fiscal stability.
Resource scale, growth, and project details
Combined resources at Joaquin (167 Moz AgEq) and Cerro Leon (162 Moz AgEq), both open at depth and along strike, underpinning the PFS.
Resource growth of 3.5x since May 2023, with mineralisation confirmed by high-grade drill intercepts and ongoing exploration.
Operational synergies assessed by co-developing both projects, including hauling high-grade Cerro Leon oxide to the Joaquin processing facility.
Santa Cruz province hosts 397 Moz Ag across 11 projects, with Joaquin and Cerro Leon holding 47% of contained silver.
Historical metallurgical testwork supports whole-ore cyanidation with ~80-85% recoveries for oxide resources.
Financials, market context, and permitting
Market capitalisation of A$507M and cash balance of A$55M as of June 2026, with 642M shares on issue.
Silver market in multi-year deficit, with above-ground stocks drawn down and strong demand from solar, EV, and data centers.
Santa Cruz offers a proven, predictable permitting pathway, with 10 gold-silver operations permitted since 1996 and no exploitation-stage refusals.
RIGI regime locks in 30 years of tax, customs, and FX stability, with Unico targeting approval in 1H 2027.
Board and management have a strong track record in discovery, finance, and development of world-class mining projects.
