Why Silver? Why Investigator?
Silver’s Moment: Dual role as industrial metal and store of wealth—demand is rising, supply is tight.
Paris Advantage:
Tier-1 grade, low-cost, high-margin silver project in a top jurisdiction.
Price Leverage:
Rising silver prices expand the pit, boost returns, and unlock more ounces.
District Scale:
15km mineralised corridor—Paris is just the beginning.
Strategic Timing:
DFS underway, exploration accelerating, market re-rating potential.

As usual, gold has run
hard early, but silver is
gaining momentum, up
~30% this year alone

Fraser Institute - Investment Attractiveness

Silver production is price inelastic
Very little supply from Tier 1 jurisdictions
Mines producing silver as a by-product do not increase silver
production if silver price rises – in fact, many producers use the
higher price to process lower grade stockpiles, reducing head grade
and metal production, further constraining supply.
75% of silver supply comes from Latin America, China & Russia,
all subject to geopolitical and operational risk

Silver is relatively cheap in historical terms.
A reversion to the mean would see silver rise a
further 40-50% on current price – and that is
without any increase to the gold price.

Inflation hedge
US Debt projected to rise.
And its already started…
Money printing continues to pay debt and stimulate the economy.
Central banks are buying gold as a strategic move to diversify their
reserves, and protect against economic and geopolitical risks.
Inflation erodes purchasing power, encouraging investment in
precious metals as a store of wealth.

Hydrological study – pit & process water
Environmental survey
Price provides opportunity to increase silver production
• Revising mine optimisation, design and processing to
maximise value for higher price environment
In parallel, regulatory approvals are being prepared:
• Mining permit (MLA)
Indicative DFS pit expansion (grey) highlighting material increase in size. Optimisation work is
ongoing to maximise value from the structural shift in silver price.

Why Silver? Why Investigator?
High-grade project in a Tier-1 location
Rising silver prices have the potential to transform already strong project economics
DFS is targeting that upside — expanding the pit and bringing more silver into the mine plan
A 15km silver district is emerging around Paris
Next Steps:
• Pathway to production: DFS and permitting underway
• District growth: Geophysics at Athena, followed by drilling in the Paris Silver Corridor
• New frontiers: First drilling campaign at Curnamona
