Oil prices have risen as Middle East conflict risks and attacks on regional energy assets push Brent crude higher, and silver is often considered when investors look for assets that behave differently from paper money. The article highlights Fresnillo, a Mexico-based miner with about $6b in revenue, where a sharp rise in realized silver and gold prices in 1H26 added roughly US$1.4b of revenue. It also covers Silvercorp Metals, which runs underground mines in China with about $495 million in revenue and derived 66% of its Q1 revenue from silver, and Discovery Mining, a Canadian producer with about $1.1b in revenue from its Porcupine Complex and a silver development pipeline. These three are a sample from a screen that surfaced 7 more silver-focused operators not discussed in the article.

- Silver price down nearly 60% from peak
World silver prices fell about 5.4% over the past week and are down roughly 54% from their late-January 2026 peak, while Phú Quý silver prices in Vietnam are down nearly 60% from that peak. World silver traded around 53.8 USD/ounce on the morning of 24/10, while gold hovered near 3,995 USD/ounce after slipping below 4,000 USD/ounce. The sell-off was driven by investor concerns that escalating US-Iran tensions would push crude oil to multi-year highs, and by expectations that the Fed will keep monetary policy tight ahead of its FOMC meeting on 27-28/10 and the PCE inflation report on 29/10. BlackRock's iShares Silver Trust (SLV) bought a net over 14 tonnes of silver on 23/10 and now holds 15.5 thousand tonnes, worth 26.85 billion USD. According to Kitco News, silver also faces pressure from higher energy costs weighing on production demand.
- ASX Runners of the Week : Identifai , Avenira & Image Resources
Middle East tensions pushed crude oil to around US$107 a barrel, Nasdaq chip stocks fell for seven straight sessions, and South Korea's KOSPI plunged 21% over seven trading sessions. In Australia, mining shares slid as diesel costs surged, with Rio Tinto facing more than $500 million in extra annual Pilbara costs and Fortescue possibly posting its first loss-making quarter since 2009. A bright spot was the contest for Northern Star Resources, where Gold Fields is reportedly willing to sweeten its $40 billion bid. The top Runner of the Week was Identifai Genetics (ASX: ID1), up 170% from 20 cents to 54 cents after raising $10 million at listing, with a blood-based prenatal screening platform covering more than 280 genes from nine weeks into pregnancy.
- How One Silver Miner Is Trying To Turn A Producing Mine Into A Bigger Business
GoGold Resources (TSX:GGD) aims to grow beyond its producing Parral Tailings mine in Chihuahua, Mexico, which extracts material from centuries-old waste left by historical silver and base metal mining. A 2020 study put remaining reserves at 15.4 million tonnes (8.7 million proven, 6.7 million probable). In 2026 the mine produced just under 1.9 million silver-equivalent ounces and around 11,647 ounces of gold, at an all-in sustaining cost of US$22 to US$28 per ounce. Management estimates about four years of reserve life remain, so the company needs new deposits; its Los Ricos South project in Jalisco, Mexico, began construction in June 2026, with a base net present value of US$355 million from a 2025 mineral resource estimate.
- Aztec Extends Oxide Gold-Silver Mineralization up to 190 m West at the North Extension at Tombstone, Arizona, Including 115.8 m of 0.67 g/t AuEq (0.52 g/t Au & 8.11 g/t Ag) in TR26-45
Aztec Minerals (TSXV: AZT) reports results from nine reverse circulation drill holes (TR26-45 to TR26-53) in the 2025-2026 program at its Tombstone Property in Arizona, all of which intersected oxide gold-silver mineralization. Six holes stepped out 90 m to 190 m west of the North Extension, extending the known oxide footprint about 190 m west, with mineralization open to the west, north and at depth. Highlights include TR26-45 with 115.8 m averaging 0.52 g/t Au and 8.11 g/t Ag (0.67 g/t AuEq) from 51.8 m, and TR26-49 with 30.5 m averaging 0.70 g/t Au and 24.62 g/t Ag (1.15 g/t AuEq). The maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, being prepared by APEX Geoscience, is expected in November 2026, while assays for 22 further holes are pending.
- Americas Gold And Silver (TSX:USA) Posts Record Q3 Silver Output And Sales
Americas Gold and Silver reported record Q3 2026 silver sales of 860,850 ounces, with silver production of 800,458 ounces. It also produced 964,551 pounds of lead, 918,456 pounds of copper and 101,011 pounds of antimony, with sales of 1,417,512 pounds of lead, 928,967 pounds of copper and 121,691 pounds of antimony. The company linked higher output to assets that recently received capital investment and operational focus, along with expanded production capacity and infrastructure upgrades. The article says the key test ahead is whether the company can sustain quarterly silver output on track for full-year 2026 guidance of 3.2 million to 3.6 million ounces. It also points to progress on the US$60 million to US$80 million growth capital program and throughput updates at Galena and Cosalá as checkpoints through 2027.
- Nine Mile Metals hits 7.13% copper equivalent over 11.65 metres at Wedge
Nine Mile Metals (CSE:NINE) reported a high-grade copper-rich lens grading 7.13% copper equivalent over 11.65 metres at its Wedge VMS project in New Brunswick, with gold and silver adding significant value. Drill hole WD-26-18 also intersected 9.93% copper equivalent over 6.70 metres and 10.46% over 4.8 metres, plus a 31.5-metre upper copper stringer zone. Every sample across the 6.7-metre interval graded above 8.4% copper equivalent, with 71 to 136 grams per tonne of silver and 1.16 to 2.4 grams per tonne of gold. The company estimates silver and gold together make up roughly one-third of the in-situ value, and the results extend known mineralization along the eastern edge of the drill pattern. The stringer zone, grading 0.40% copper equivalent, is treated as an exploration target, and borehole electromagnetic surveying and follow-up drilling are planned to test the lens's extent.

- Why Is Solana Worth About 17 Times More Than Sui?
Solana's market value is about $59.8 billion, roughly 15.3 times Sui's $3.9 billion. Both are high-speed layer 1 blockchains, and the market ranks Solana seventh by market cap versus Sui at 30th. Sui rose 25.7% over 60 days while SOL rose 5.8%, but Sui then fell 15.5% over 14 days to around $0.95. On a fully diluted basis, which counts all possible tokens, the gap narrows to about 6.8 times ($64.4 billion versus $9.5 billion), since only 41.2% of Sui's maximum 10 billion supply is circulating versus 92.7% of Solana's. U.S. spot Solana ETFs held about $1.61 billion in net assets as of October 22, 2026, though inflows have reversed from a peak, while the 21Shares Sui Staking ETF began trading on February 24, 2026, and SUI has dropped 32.1% in 2026.
- Forget Casgevy: CRISPR Therapeutics' Heart-Disease Data Could Matter More
CRISPR Therapeutics developed Casgevy, the first approved therapy using the CRISPR gene-editing technique in 2023, and shares its rights with Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). The article argues that the investigational CTX310, which targets high LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, could matter more to the company's future as a possible one-time option, since more than 40 million U.S. patients have high LDL or TG levels versus about 60,000 addressable patients for Casgevy. In a Phase 1a trial reported in August, the highest dose cut mean TG by 48% and mean LDL by 53% in patients with certain genetic conditions, and Phase 1b data are due in early November. Risks include clinical and regulatory setbacks, high prices and difficult administration. The author views the company as fairly attractive, but only for investors comfortable with significant risk and volatility.
