Episode Details

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company’s advancing silver projects in Chile and Peru, outlining its transition toward engineering studies, resource expansion and a busy 2026 exploration programme. Ruston explained that Aftermath Silver Ltd. currently holds three exploration-stage projects in Chile, alongside a silver-copper-manganese project in Peru that is moving into the pre-feasibility stage. The company recently appointed engineering consultancies to begin work on the pre-feasibility study, marking a key step forward. Discussing the Peru asset, Ruston highlighted that “it has an extremely large silver resource,” with silver as the primary commodity and initial mining focused on maximising silver production. He also pointed to manganese as a potential contributor to the battery industry, with longer-term plans to integrate silver, copper and manganese production. In Chile, the main focus is resource expansion. Ruston said the objective is clear: “We want to make it bigger,” targeting a potential 12 to 15 years of sustained production before determining whether the company develops the project itself or pursues alternative strategic options. Looking ahead to 2026, Ruston noted that the pre-feasibility study is expected to take around 12 months and will examine logistics, mine design and process plant design. The company also plans to drill two copper targets in Peru, while advancing exploration in Chile. With what Ruston described as a “healthy treasury,” Aftermath Silver Ltd. expects an active year across all projects. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #BerenguelaProject #pdac2026 #SilverStocks #MiningNews #SilverMining #CopperExploration #Manganese #CriticalMinerals #MiningInvestment #PreFeasibility #ChileMining #PeruMining #ResourceExpansion #JuniorMining #OTCMarkets
