Silver Miners Eye Possible Regulation Breakthroughs in Mexico

Mexico’s environment ministry (Semarnat) is reviewing mining regulations to enhance environmental protections without overregulation, with updates expected in September 2025. A permit backlog has been halved, with 80 granted so far. However, as of late September, the anticipated mining law regulations have not yet been published, despite a September 15 deadline mentioned in some sources. This could impact silver producers like Pan American Silver (recently acquired MAG Silver’s Juanicipio stake, boosting output), Regency Silver (drilling at Dios Padre), and Sierra Madre Gold & Silver (expanding La Guitarra capacity). The Sectoral Program for Environment 2025-2030 was published on September 11, emphasizing responsible mining.
