The initial drilling will focus on the area surrounding Hole REG 25-26.
Regency Silver Corporation has started its 2026 drill programme at its Dios Padre project in Sonora.
Initial drilling will focus on the area surrounding Hole REG 25- 26, which intersected sulphide specularite-supported breccia in multiple zones across a broad, non-continuous ~ 240m interval.
The breccia zones appear to be controlled by a series of Quartz- Feldspar porphyries and range in size from 5 – 50m. Hole REG 25-26 intersected mineralisation ~ 150m down-dip below the historic Dios Padre silver mine workings and ~ 225m up-dip from drill hole REG-25-25. REG 23-21 yielded 38m of 7.36g / t gold, REG-22-01 yielded 35.8m of 6.84g / t gold, 0.88 % copper and 21.82g / t silver, and REG 23-14 yielded 29.4m of 6.32g / t gold. Hole REG 25-26 is being assayed.
