AbraSilver Resource Corp. (TSX: ABRA; OTCQX: ABBRF) CEO John Miniotis was named Kitco Mining’s Exploration CEO of the Year at PDAC 2026 as the company advances its Diablillos silver-gold project in Argentina toward a final investment decision in 2026. Speaking with Kitco Mining in Toronto, Miniotis said the project hosts approximately 350 million oz of silver equivalent resources, with measured and indicated resources up 170% since 2020. The project is designed to produce more than 13 million oz of silver equivalent annually, including over 7 million oz of silver and about 75,000 oz of gold, at all-in sustaining costs under $13 per oz of silver. “This will be not only one of the largest primary silver producers in the world,” Miniotis said. He added that Argentina’s RIGI framework is “really an absolute game changer,” providing 30-year fiscal stability and a reduced 25% tax rate. With a definitive feasibility study targeted for Q2 2026, Miniotis said, “for every 10% move in the gold and silver price, the economics of the project improved by over 30%,” highlighting the project’s leverage as it advances toward construction.
