The feasibility study at Santa Ana in Peru for Bear Creek Mining (V.BCM) brings them one step closer to becoming a leading silver producer. Santa Ana now has 63.2 million ounces of silver reserves, bringing the company's total to over 321 million ounces. Santa Ana should be in production by 2012, and Corani by 2014. Once both mines are in full operation, BCM will be producing 15 to 20 million ounces a year, putting it among the top pure silver companies in the world.
