Summary

Trinity Silver, a roughly $13 million market cap junior, holds two historic high-grade silver projects in Chile and Ecuador.

Nueva China in Chile, effectively untouched since 1888, saw a 2002 drill hit 2 metres at 2,390 grams per tonne silver.

Silver One in Ecuador pairs underground extension potential with surface tailings grading 118-133 grams per tonne silver.

With $3.9 million cash and 67 million shares outstanding, the company funds first modern drilling at Nueva China, targeted for Q4.

Both projects were optioned in 2026 with staged payments, giving the company years of exploration runway before the largest payment.

Thomas Wood's takeaways

  • Top takeaway The guest argues investors should get involved early, describing Trinity Silver's roughly $13 million market cap as a "great starting valuation" for the assembled portfolio of two South American silver projects, with successful drilling potentially rewriting that valuation.
  • He says the two assets - the Nueva China in northern Chile (acquired in August 2026) and the Silver One mine in Ecuador (acquired at the start of 2026) - give shareholders two substantial exploration opportunities with silver central to the company going forward.
  • On the Chilean project, he points to a 2002 Aetna Resources RC hole that returned 2 metres at 2,390 g/t silver at just 58 metres downhole, saying the company needs to verify it and plans initial drilling in Q4 2026, subject to approvals and access.
  • He highlights that Nueva China has effectively been untouched since 1888 flooding, with no modern geophysics ever completed until Trinity's drone mag survey, which finished in the week before the September 2026 presentation, alongside a completed 37-hole auger program over historic tailings awaiting assays.
  • On cap structure he cites around 67 million shares on issue and $3.9 million of cash in the last reported financials, and says he is relocating to Santiago to build an on-the-ground presence close to both projects.
