He’s been involved in several significant mineral resource discoveries in China, through Pacific Minerals (now Jinshan Gold Mines) and currently with Silvercorp Metals. Being well-versed in China’s legal framework and mining industry, combined with an extensive network in China, makes him one of the most knowledgeable geologists exploring there today.
Read MoreSilvercorp Metals’ (T.SVM) GC project took another step closer to construction, as management recently received the all-important environmental permit for this silver/lead/zinc mine in Guangdong Province, China. The company will immediately submit an application for a mining permit to the Ministry of Land and Resources in Beijing; upon approval, SVM will begin building the 1,500-tonne-per-day mine and mill operation.
This will be SVM’s next mine, with 28.5 million silver ounces in measured and indicated and 30.7 million in inferred. And like their mines in the Ying District, GC is projected to have low operating costs.
