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 & NYSE: SVM) received a positive Preliminary Assessment report on its 100% owned Silvertip project in B.C., Canada. Two scenarios were presented: a seasonally operated mine (six months/year, non-winter) that processes 500 tonnes per day, vs. a 200-tonnes-per-day mine that operates year-round. According to the PA, the seasonal mine and mill offer greater economic benefit in terms of capital return and cash flow than the year-round operation. Mine life would be longer, too, and they’d avoid the extreme cold weather and heavy snow.
