Unico Silver (ASX: USL) delivers big silver hits and major growth plans

Shae Russell from Mining.com.au catches up with Todd Williams, Managing Director of Unico Silver (ASX:USL), to discuss the company’s latest drilling results and big plans for 2025.

Key Highlights:
🔹 Top drill results – The Karina prospect delivers 10m at 650g/t silver equivalent, while Archen returns 17m at 420g/t silver equivalent (5.5g/t gold). These results reinforce the scale and potential of the project.
🔹 Growing institutional interest – Unico Silver’s inclusion in the Sprott Silver ETF highlights rising global confidence in the company’s future.
🔹 Silver market outlook – With supply constraints and rising demand, silver is positioned for a strong future. Unico Silver’s 50,000m drill program and revised resource in Q3 aim to capitalise on this trend.

Plus, Williams shares insights on how Argentina’s mining-friendly policies give Unico Silver a strategic advantage over silver projects in Mexico.
