CMX Gold & Silver Corp. (CSE: CXC) (OTC: CXXMF) is intensifying exploration at its 100%-owned Clayton Silver Project in central Idaho, leveraging a significant upturn in silver prices that have risen over 50% since November 2025 and more than tripled in recent years, according to the company. The exploration-stage company, which is advancing the historic Clayton Silver Mine, announced progress on a non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to CAN$2,000,000, with proceeds allocated to a geophysical survey and an initial diamond-drilling program.
The Clayton Silver Project, located in the Bayhorse Mining District, has a history dating back to the late 1800s and shows historical recorded ore productions. CMX believes the property holds largely untapped potential. The current exploration push comes as silver prices surge, with the company stating, "CMX sees a massive opportunity both for growth, and for stamping its position as a leader in its space." With silver seen as a more accessible investment compared to gold, CMX aims to leverage its fully owned project to become an integral player in the global silver production market.
The company's efforts are supported by ongoing geopolitical developments and rising demand for the precious metal. The private placement is expected to enable CMX to conduct further exploration to define the resource potential of the Clayton Silver Mine.

This strategic move underscores the growing interest in silver as an investment and industrial metal, with applications in electronics, solar panels, and other technologies. As CMX advances its exploration program, the company aims to position itself to benefit from the current commodity cycle. The Clayton Silver Project's location in Idaho, a mining-friendly jurisdiction, further enhances its appeal. CMX's focus on exploration and development at the historic mine could unlock significant value, especially given the current favorable pricing environment.
