AbraSilver Receives RIGI Approval for the Diablillos Project

The most recent news (March 02, 2026) announces that AbraSilver’s flagship Diablillos project has received formal approval under Argentina’s Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI). This follows the application submitted in November 2025. The approval grants the project long-term fiscal stability, including significant tax, customs, and foreign-exchange benefits. Management confirmed that the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is expected by the end of Q1 2026, with the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) slated for completion in Q2 2026.

This news is Material - Positive because it removes a significant sovereign risk layer and directly enhances the project's Net Present Value (NPV). - Fiscal Certainty: RIGI provides a 30-year stability agreement, which is critical for a project with a US$544M initial CAPEX in a historically volatile jurisdiction like Argentina. - Economic Uplift: While the specific percentage increase in NPV wasn't quantified in the release, RIGI typically involves reduced corporate income tax rates and exemptions on import duties for capital goods, which will lower the "all-in" cost of construction. - Timeline Validation: The approval arrived exactly within the "early 2026" window previously projected by management, demonstrating execution reliability. - Strategic Positioning: This approval makes the project significantly more attractive to potential M&A suitors or project financiers as the company moves toward a construction decision in H2 2026.

AbraSilver is focused on the 100%-owned Diablillos silver-gold project in Salta, Argentina. - Flagship: Diablillos contains a Measured & Indicated resource of 104 Mt @ 59 g/t Ag and 0.51 g/t Au (350 Moz AgEq). - Secondary Asset: La Coipita (San Juan), a copper-gold porphyry project where Teck Resources is earning in. Recent drilling showed a massive 621m intercept of 0.38% Cu.
