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) purchased the Silvertip silver-lead-zinc project in northern British Columbia from Silver Standard. Silvertip is a high-grade deposit with 26.5 million Indicated ounces of silver and 5 million ounces Inferred that are practically mine-ready. Once Silvertip gets permitted, management will begin mining the higher-grade pockets that are already accessible from existing tunnels. The deposit has lots of exploration potential as well, something SVM will pursue aggressively with the cash they’ll get from mining the high-grade ore (similar to what they’ve done with their flagship Ying mine).
