Highlander Silver (TSX: HSLV) President and CEO Daniel Earle says the silver cycle remains in its early stages, with the gold-silver ratio still near 80 to one after reaching 107 to one earlier this year. He noted that strong secular drivers continue to support both metals and that silver should outperform if global growth reaccelerates in 2026. Highlander recently closed a $95 million bought deal that was heavily oversubscribed, with “demand well in excess of $200 million,” leaving the company fully funded for its 2026 strategy. Earle said permitting will begin in early 2026 for a 350-tonne-per-day starter operation at Yalán as Highlander advances toward potential 2028 production. On the exploration front, the company is preparing to integrate new geophysics, expand drilling at Bonita, and advance district-scale targets, including the Cerro Colorado and Daniella porphyries and high-priority replacement potential at depth. He added that Highlander is well-positioned for index inclusion, starting with SILJ, as the company enters a catalyst-heavy 2026.
