Silver Holds Near $65 as Developers Turn to Mines Already Built

TORONTO, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canada News Group News Commentary - The silver market has spent 2026 teaching investors how quickly a metal can move. Silver touched a record above $121 an ounce in late January, gave back roughly half of that by the end of summer, and was trading around $65 in the third week of September, still close to 50% higher than a year earlier. For companies trying to bring new ounces to market, the swing has sharpened one question above all others: how much of the capital, permitting and infrastructure a mine needs has already been spent? Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSXV: TUF) (OTCQB: HBEIF) (FSE: 1QA) has made that question the center of its strategy at the PC Silver Mine in the Northwest Territories, and it offers a useful lens on a sector where Hecla Mining Company (NYSE: HL), Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (NYSE American: USAS), First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) and Vizsla Silver Corp. (NYSE: VZLA) are each taking different routes to the same goal.
