Silver Becomes Critical Mineral and Minaurum Could Be Strategic Silver Play of This Decade
At this moment, our excitement for Minaurum Gold (TSXV: MGG) stands above any public company we’ve ever covered in our careers. Despite its name, MGG is overwhelmingly focused on silver, with its flagship Alamos Silver Project positioned to become one of Mexico’s next great primary silver districts. Although Alamos is a polymetallic system containing copper, lead, and zinc, its value is driven primarily by silver — with recent drilling returning average grades of 220 g/t Ag, 0.40% Cu, 0.96% Pb, and 2.05% Zn, or 365 g/t AgEq.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has just released its draft 2025 Critical Minerals List — and for the first time ever, silver has been officially added. This marks a major policy shift that recognizes silver’s essential role in solar panels, EVs, advanced electronics, and defense applications. With silver now elevated to “critical mineral” status, U.S. policymakers are signaling growing urgency around securing future supply amid rising global demand.
This development comes at a moment when Mexico, the world’s #1 silver producer, is grappling with years of underinvestment in exploration and a freeze on new concessions stemming from policies enacted under the AMLO administration. Years of anti-mining policies have slowed permitting and discouraged fresh capital, raising concerns about the long-term replacement of reserves. In this environment, Minaurum Gold (TSXV: MGG)’s Alamos Silver Project stands out uniquely: it is one of the very few district-scale silver projects in Mexico that already completed key permitting and community agreements ahead of its maiden NI 43-101 resource estimate. With early de-risking already achieved, Alamos is positioned as a strategic asset in the global silver pipeline precisely when new projects in Mexico are becoming increasingly scarce.
Minaurum currently has four drill rigs turning at Alamos, aggressively advancing multiple vein systems across the district. With a maiden NI 43-101 resource expected this fall, every meter of core brings the company closer to defining one of Mexico’s next great silver resources. At a time when few new silver projects are advancing in the world’s #1 silver-producing country, Minaurum is not waiting on the sidelines — it is drilling full-speed ahead!
