Silver Miners Eye Possible Regulation Breakthroughs in Mexico

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.
