Silver One Resources Inc.
Silver One Resources holds 100% of the Candelaria silver project in Nevada, carrying 120,709,000 oz of silver in Measured and Indicated resources (73,199,000 oz in the open-pit and underground deposits and 47,510,000 oz in the historic leach pads, re-estimated in July 2026), targeting 5-6 million oz annual silver production at a planned ~15,000 tpd rate. Rather than complete a previously-planned PEA, the company's qualified persons confirmed it can proceed directly to a Pre-Feasibility Study, targeted for completion in Q4 2026; a resource-expansion drill program restarted in mid-2026 after a brief operational interruption.

Lifecycle Milestones
Not yet determined: mill, tailings facility.
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
Nevada: Fraser PPI 2025 is 100.00 of 100 (rank 1 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. Nevada, USA — top-tier, low political-risk mining jurisdiction.
Infrastructure (40%)7.9/10
Confirmed road access and confirmed grid power at Candelaria Silver Project, Mineral County, Nevada; existing mill and tailings facility not yet researched, counted at a neutral 5/10 until established.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No producing mine within 50 km in our reference list (nearest listed: Round Mountain (Kinross Gold Corporation), 108 km). That list doesn't cover every mining district yet, so a longer distance isn't scored as remote.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.

No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
