Bruce Bragagnolo is a seasoned mining executive, entrepreneur, and lawyer with over two decades of experience in the resource sector, particularly in Mexico. He currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Regency Silver Corp., a Mexico-focused gold, copper, and silver exploration company, a role he assumed in April 2025 following the departure of the previous CEO, Gijsbert Groenewegen. He is also the founder and Executive Chairman of Regency Silver, which he established in 2017.

Bragagnolo holds a law degree from the University of British Columbia, earned in 1983, and was called to the bar in British Columbia in 1984. He practiced securities law, specializing in start-ups, mergers, and acquisitions, until 2007 before transitioning fully into mining leadership. His mining career is marked by successfully building and scaling several companies. As co-founder and former CEO of Timmins Gold Corp. (later Alio Gold Inc.), he guided the company from its inception in 2005 through a 2006 IPO with a $7 million market capitalization to a peak of $475 million in 2012. Under his leadership, Timmins Gold achieved commercial production at the San Francisco Mine in Mexico on time and within a $50 million budget, increasing annual gold production from 65,784 ounces in 2010 to 121,573 ounces in 2014, with peak revenues of $156 million and operational profits of $60.6 million in 2012. He raised over $75 million in equity and $18 million in debt, expanded reserves from 611,000 ounces to 1.5 million ounces, and facilitated key acquisitions, including the Caballo Blanco and Ana Paula projects, as well as the El Sauzal Mill from Goldcorp. The company also secured a NYSE MKT listing in 2011 and analyst coverage from 15 firms.

Similarly, as co-founder and past CEO of Silvermex Resources Ltd., Bragagnolo led the company from a 2006 IPO with a $5 million market cap to its $175 million sale to First Majestic Silver Corp. in 2012. He has held other significant roles, including as a director of Continuum Resources Ltd., where he was involved in acquiring the San Jose Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico, which later became Fortuna Silver Mines Inc.'s flagship asset after a 2004 merger, producing over 6 million ounces of silver and 37,805 ounces of gold in 2020. He also served as CEO of Cobaltech Mining Inc., which merged with First Cobalt Corp. in 2017, and as a director of Silver One Mining Corp.

Beyond his professional achievements, Bragagnolo is active in community initiatives. He is involved with the 13th Man Foundation, which helped bring the Canadian University football championship to UBC in 2015, and supports the Kinesis Dance Society, promoting modern dance in Vancouver. His deep expertise in Mexican mining operations, corporate finance, and resource development has positioned him as a key figure in the industry.
