Silvercorp 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).
