The recent surge in silver prices has sparked renewed interest in the precious metal as an investment avenue, particularly amidst a backdrop of economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Despite its traditional correlation with gold, silver has demonstrated an independent trajectory in recent months, outperforming its counterpart and attracting attention from investors seeking diversification and hedging opportunities.

Christopher Ecclestone, an analyst at Hallgarten & Company, sheds light on the dynamics shaping the silver market in a short note he released earlier this morning on Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA | OTCQX: AYASF). He notes the intriguing divergence between gold and silver prices, emphasizing the impact of global events such as inflationary pressures and geopolitical conflicts on precious metal markets. Ecclestone’s insights underscore the complexity of factors influencing silver’s price movements and its potential as an investment asset.

One notable aspect of silver’s recent performance is its resilience amid challenging economic conditions. While gold has historically been viewed as the ultimate safe haven asset, silver’s versatility and industrial applications have contributed to its appeal as an alternative investment. Ecclestone highlights the role of industrial demand in driving silver prices, suggesting that silver’s utility extends beyond its function as a store of value.

Moreover, the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) Co-Chair Jack Lifton always tells us that silver is the #1 technology metal, he often references a notable supply-demand imbalance in the silver market. The forecasted increase in global silver supply, coupled with strong demand projections, suggests a potentially favorable environment for silver investors. Ecclestone’s observations underscore the significance of supply dynamics in shaping silver’s price trajectory and investment outlook. And we are counting down to having John Carter from Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI | OTCQB: SBMCF) at 9 AM EST, tomorrow – Wednesday, April 10, 2024, from 9-920 AM (click here to join).

In an engaging InvestorNews interview, Peter Clausi, Director and VP of Capital Markets at Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI | OTCQB: SBMCF), shared his excitement about the company’s latest strides in mining exploration as per an announcement made earlier this week. In this news release they were able to “…confirm the high grade nature of Zone1 and its recovery rates, and to confirm the mill’s ability to process a large amount of material from Zone1. Processing was successful on all counts.”

Clausi begins by explaining that this week’s news release is a culmination of the last 3-year’s work. Adding that Silver Bullet Mines has achieved significant progress, especially in Zone One. Clausi proudly discussed the efficient extraction and processing of a 40-ton bulk sample from this area, which resulted in the high-grade silver results announced. This breakthrough signifies a major step towards full-time production and is a boon for the company’s shareholders.

During the interview, Clausi delved into the broader impact of these developments for investors and the company at large. He acknowledged that while Silver Bullet Mines is still on the path to generating cash flow, the potential for doing so is on the horizon. Clausi underscored that the company’s valuation is currently influenced by its news releases, goodwill, and commitments to its stakeholders. The forthcoming production of Dore bars, a salable silver product, symbolizes a critical shift towards production and sales, with promising implications for the company’s stock value.

Clausi also illuminated the technical side of their operations, including a demonstration of the company’s Shaker table. This innovative technique is employed for separating denser elements like silver, successfully yielding high-grade silver. With the promising results obtained and an extensive vein yet to be mined, Clausi emphasized their commitment to ramping up production. The imminent goal for Silver Bullet Mines, as he highlighted, is the production of Dore bars. This significant step, poised to happen shortly, marks an essential milestone in the company’s journey towards becoming a key player in the international silver market.

In a recent interview with InvestorNews, Silver Bullet Mines Corp.‘s (TSXV: SBMI | OTCQB: SBMCF) CEO and Director, John Carter, shared significant updates on the company’s progress and achievements. Carter proudly announced the release of assay results, revealing a high grade of over 24 oz/ton silver, marking a pivotal moment for the company after a challenging two-year journey. This milestone is particularly significant as it represents the culmination of persistent efforts and a clear focus on their target. It also confirms impending silver production and the reopening of the Silver Bullet Mine.

In this interview, Carter emphasized the unique approach of Silver Bullet Mines in the mining industry. Unlike most junior companies, they have built a mine-mill complex, focusing on properties with historical production. This strategic choice allowed them to leverage historical data and technical reports to advance their projects effectively. Their primary property, located in Arizona, spans about 5000 acres, all owned by the company, reflecting a strong foundation for their operations.

A key aspect of their strategy is “mining by drilling,” where they mine the property while concurrently drilling, thereby creating value for their shareholders. This approach is supported by the installation of a state-of-the-art 125 metric ton per day mill, which is expandable and capable of handling various commodities. Carter highlighted their self-reliance, with Silver Bullet Mines owning all the necessary equipment and facilities, including a full assay facility and a refinery. This autonomy allows them to assay for themselves and others, adding another layer of operational efficiency.

In addition to the interview insights, Silver Bullet Mines Corp. announced in their morning’s news release the commencement of milling in the new Zone1, with assay results up to 24.2 oz/ton silver. The company has been working towards this development since early November, with the vein width in Zone1 increasing significantly in recent blasts. These results support the management’s theory that the grade of silver will increase with further blasting into Zone1, bringing the company closer to the historical 1969 drill holes.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Peter Clausi, VP Capital Markets and Director at Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI | OTCQB: SBMCF), discussed their recent business developments and production updates at the Buckeye Silver Mine, along with general silver market trends.

Clausi mentioned an extension of a silver purchase contract due to international shipping complexities. The mill in Arizona is currently running efficiently on one shift, with plans to add another once the crew becomes familiar with operations. Recent processing hinted at possible gold material, yet to be assayed. Dore bars containing silver, gold, copper, nickel, and other metals have been prepared for transportation to Europe for assay and sale. At the Buckeye Silver Mine, progress is being made in intercepting a higher mineralized zone.

When questioned about the cooled-off interest in silver compared to six months prior, Clausi expressed optimism about its future, citing demand-supply dynamics. He emphasized the excess of paper silver versus limited physical silver, predicting an upward price trend.

In summary, Silver Bullet Mines Corp. aims to overcome logistical challenges and navigate the fluctuating silver market, with a focus on improving production and exploring new mining projects.

About Silver Bullet Mines Corp.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. is a silver and copper exploration and development company with projects in the western USA. Their flagship project is the Black Diamond, close to 5,000 acres in the Miami-Globe copper camp and centered on the Richmond Basin. The basin is the site of the original 1870s native silver discoveries that brought prospectors to the now significant Globe copper camp. The story goes that a scouting party was fired upon by Apache Indians using bullets made of hammered native silver. Thus inspiring the company name – Silver Bullet Mines. The Richmond Basin is the location of several historic high grade silver-copper mines including: McMorris, La Plata, Helena, Silver Sevens, Buckeye and numerous associated prospects. Little work or extraction came from this area since the early 20th century as the camp focused on big copper mines. But these mine anchor this section of what is called the Arizona Silver Belt that extends from the famous Silver King near Superior, AZ and parallels the trend of the major copper deposits including the Magma mine. They believe the high grade silver is still there waiting for discovery.

In the junior mining space, it’s often very difficult to take a slow and measured approach to things. Capital availability ebbs and flows with the markets, as does investor patience. You never want to run out of working capital when you have no news flow or the next equity raise could be very painful, and possibly very dilutive. And that assumes you can even find enough interest to raise that capital. However, if a company has surrounded itself with a tolerant investor base, then that patience can be rewarded when capital is finally spent on drilling and the results reflect all that timely, upfront work.

Hercules Silver Project in Idaho, USA

To me, it appears this strategy is starting to pay off for Hercules Silver Corp. (TSXV: BIG | OTCQB: BADEF), at least based on the stock chart over the last six months as its price has more than doubled. Hercules Silver (formerly Bald Eagle Gold Corp.) is a junior mining company focused on the exploration and development of the 100% owned Hercules Silver Project, northwest of Cambridge, Idaho. The Hercules project is a disseminated silver-lead-zinc system with 28,000 meters of historical drilling across 3.5 kilometers of strike. Although there are many signals indicating there could be plenty of copper to be found on the property as well, but more on that later.

In 2022, the Company elected to conserve capital and complete extensive modern field surveys in order to increase the efficiency of the drill targeting. To that end, Hercules Silver undertook an extensive bedrock mapping and sampling program, as well as a 3D induced polarization (IP) survey to help refine drill targets on the Property, including extensions of the known mineralization at Hercules Adit and Frogpond. The Company collected over 800 rock chip samples to identify the source of soil anomalies on the Property and found widespread silver, lead, zinc, and copper values.

Highlights include grades up to 21% copper at the Big Cut Skarn and 2,810 g/t silver in the untested Grade Creek Zone (keeping in mind that rock chip samples are selective and may not represent true grades). But the big surprise came from the IP survey where an unexpectedly large and strong anomaly appeared beneath the limit of historical drilling.

Large Untested Chargeability Anomaly at Depth Beneath the Hercules Adit, Frogpond, and Belmont Zones on the Hercules Property

When the initial drill program commenced in November 2022, the Company elected to utilize a small, track-mounted drill rig in order to be capital efficient while collecting samples near the surface. However, this drill rig lacked the power and rod size needed for drilling deeper into the difficult ground, which resulted in Phase I drilling having multiple holes bottoming in mineralization or not reaching the target depth including that giant anomaly noted above. Nevertheless, there were some encouraging results:

• Drill hole HER-22-01, the first hole of the program, intercepted 38 meters of 353 g/t Ag, 0.64% Pb, 2.28% Zn, and 0.16% Cu (487 g/t AgEq), beginning at a shallow depth of 26 m.
• Drill hole HER-22-07 intersected 44.2 m grading 224 g/t Ag, 0.32% Pb, 0.38% Zn, and 0.09% Cu (258 g/t AgEq) starting at just 1.5 m.

The results achieved by this 9-hole program are in line with historically reported grades and widths and provide the Company with confidence in the large-scale exploration potential at Hercules moving forward. Additionally, it indicates that Hercules Silver could potentially incorporate large volumes of previous drilling data (over 28,000 meters of drilling in over 300 historical drill holes) into future resource calculations adding significant value to the project given the substantial replacement cost of this information.

Phase II Drill Program Set to Begin

This all sets the stage for a 3,000-meter Phase II core drilling program that is scheduled for spring 2023. The Company has gained in-depth geological information to further delineate existing zones and test the conceptual model of a zoned porphyry copper-epithermal system at Hercules. And the best part is, Hercules Silver is moving past the “dipping their toe in the water” stage and is going forward with a core rig capable of deep drilling to provide more robust geological and structural information than RC methods. A newer coring technology, triple tube core barrels will be employed with the added bonus of improving recoveries within mineralized zones.

As you can see, patience is starting to pay off for Hercules Silver as their drill programs become more targeted and potentially more impactful. Being able to drill the deeper targets will determine if their theories hold water, which in turn could reward those patient shareholders.

Hercules Silver trades at a market cap of C$33.5 million.

New silver mines appearing on the scene are not a daily occurrence or even a regular happening. The silver price made a quantum leap from being rangebound for many years in the low to mid-teens to the low to mid-twenties (and now back below $20) and yet there has not been a concomitant surge in new mine openings. Too many players want to mine the story rather than mine the metals. This is not the case with Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI | OTCQB: SBMCF) that are advancing not one but two mines to production at the current moment.

They are singing out of our preferred hymnbook with the Three Ps (production, production, production) being their mantra and spending the money that would otherwise be going on endless consultants’ reports on actually advancing the mine builds.

The Assets

The company has four principal assets, of which two are in development. These are the Buckeye, McMorris, & Silver Sevens mines in Arizona, the Washington mine in Idaho, the Lone Mountain & Ophir Canyon projects in Nevada and the Black Copper & Richmond (Richman) Basin Deposits in Arizona.

The producing project is Buckeye (which started production in the last two months) while the (imminent) development project is the Washington Mine in Idaho.

Miners with a Philosophy

Management at Silver Bullet do not mince their words. SBMI’s management has stated clearly that they do not intend to spend capital on a third-party resource estimate or Preliminary Economic Analysis for the Buckeye Silver Mine. In the company’s opinion, given the nature of the known mineralization, the extensive historical third-party documentation, and the leadership team’s direct experience at Buckeye, a third-party resource estimate or PEA would be prohibitively expensive to have written without actually advancing the Company’s knowledge of the Buckeye. “This is old school mining,” in the words of the CEO John Carter, “and for this project, it’s the right way. Producing from 6-foot wide silver veins is not your standard mining opportunity, which means it requires a non-standard approach. Here, we believe the right approach is to carry out our own internal economic analysis.”

On Silver

While silver has slipped back under $20 we would expect it to clamber back above that level as the market gets its head in order and swings back towards hard assets (i.e. metals) and away from the frou-frou of Tech Unicorns.

Earnings

Having a bottom line is a rare phenomenon for a junior we know. Most of them run from earnings as if they are toxic waste. The recent retreat in silver means our expectations of even two months ago need a reality check, but even at current levels, one should expect earnings from Buckeye of around US$3 million in a full year. If silver returns to $23 per oz then earnings will be ~US$6 million.

Nothing Succeeds like Success

The success of this strategy shall soon be measurable with Buckeye producing, extraction of ore at the Washington mine in Idaho, and then assessment of the potential at McMorris to do the same. There are few junior developers with two, let alone three, silver mines in production.

The company will have gone from a listing in late 2021, to production at Buckeye in less than nine months. Few miners have been able to go from starting gun to revenues in such a short timeframe. This is not to say that there won’t be hiccups as we know in mining there is many an unexpected pitfall (literal or metaphorical). The market will thus be all the more surprised to see revenues so swiftly appear.

I was all geared up to write a story about a junior gold miner today based on the company name but upon digging a little deeper I found that after a couple of transactions it’s now a silver play. Correspondingly, I was prepared to take another stab at gold technicals and the price impact on the underlying equites. Instead, we are now talking about silver where my trading history in silver stocks is less than stellar to say the least. When silver got caught up in the Reddit meme stock frenzy, I thought I’d take advantage of the volatility by buying the underlying stocks and selling at, or even in the money covered calls for huge premiums. I collected those huge premiums but proceeded to learn a valuable lesson on how fast the liquidity in meme stocks can dry up and how hard they can fall. In fact, the silver names I participated in fell much further than where they were trading before the meme frenzy took hold leaving me well down on my overall trade, despite all the call premiums I collected. With that said, I still believe in the underlying fundamentals of the commodity itself and have confidence that as an industrial metal that is part of the technology revolution, silver will soar again. I just don’t know how long I’ll have to wait to get back to break even.

But enough about me, let’s have a look at Bald Eagle Gold Corp. (TSXV: BIG). As noted above, the Company came into being in March, 2021 with the completion of the qualifying transaction and subsequent amalgamation of CX One Inc. and Frontera Gold Inc. This resulted in the principal asset of the Company being a 50% interest in the Hot Springs Gold project located between the Battle Mountain and Getchell Comstock Gold-Trend in north-central Nevada. However, it didn’t take long for Bald Eagle to diversify its holdings substantially when on April 26, 2021, it announced a binding letter of intent to acquire the right and title to the Hercules Silver Property located in Washington County, Idaho. The transaction to acquire the 100% interest in the Hercules Property closed on August 10^th followed by the sale of its 50% joint venture interest in the Hot Springs property for US$1.27 million in early October. And voila, Bald Eagle Gold is now a prospective silver play.

A subsequent transaction in November, 2021 resulted in the Company acquiring a 100% interest in the Leviathan Property located immediately east of and adjoining the Company’s Hercules silver property in Idaho. The deal expands Bald Eagle’s total land position to 2,209 acres in this highly prospective area. Which begs the question, what makes this area highly prospective? Well let me tell you.

Six mineralized areas have been identified along the 10,000 feet (3,048 metres) of Hercules rhyolite underlying the length of the Property. Following earliest drilling (1965) near the Hercules Adit, surface drilling, guided by soil geochemistry, made it clear that anomalous silver greater than one ounce per ton is widespread in the Hercules rhyolite. Between 1965 and 1988 work by eight companies resulted in thirteen drill programs and about 1,045 feet (319 metres) of lateral underground advance. The drill programs produced 28 core holes, 43 underground percussion holes and 236 reverse circulation rotary holes. Select results from the Hercules Adit Area of the Property, include:

The addition of the Leviathan property provides a much larger land package of prospective ground on which to explore and expand the currently known mineralization. Historical surface sampling indicates that the silver (+/- lead-zinc) mineralization on the Hercules Property extends onto the northern portion of Leviathan. Significant copper mineralization is also present within the volcanic rocks at surface on Leviathan, suggesting a potential porphyry copper system may be present at depth. Highlights from the Big Cut prospect located in the southeast of the property include:

The Company’s stated strategy is to build precious metal resources in recognized mining‐friendly jurisdictions and the Fraser Institute ranks Idaho ninth for exploration and mining investment out of 77 locations around the world. So that box is ticked. Disposition of the Hot Springs gold working interest increases the available capital pool to roughly C$2 million to begin exploration of the Hercules/Leviathan property. With a current market cap of just over C$10 million, a few good drill holes could make for some exciting times at Bald Eagle Gold Corp.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Peter Clausi speaks with David Morgan of The Morgan Report, about investing in silver, the silver market and the source of the rising demand.

In this InvestorIntel interview, which may also be viewed on YouTube (click here to subscribe to the InvestorIntel Channel), David went on to say that he is bullish on silver and also commented on the gold to silver ratio. He said, “It is good for looking at long term trends and preview what you might use as an exit strategy.” He further added, “Gold has outperformed at this time, but silver is catching up and will continue to outperform.”

“Based on our current economic situation globally you should have some physical metal,” David commented. “Then you gain leverage by going into mining equities. A lot silver stocks have done quite well.”

InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky asks David Morgan, Founder & Owner of The Morgan Report, if it is too late to invest in the gold and silver market. “From my work and many others we are in the last leg of this major move.” David said. “The greatest price appreciation takes place in the last leg, but the last leg is usually short in duration. 90% of the move comes in the last 10% of the time.”

“We are in a monetary conundrum,” David told Tracy. “We are printing our way out of a mess that can’t be printed out of. So, the metals are going to react to that in a very significant way, probably in a very short duration. Juniors are the last to participate in any cycle,” David added. “I think there is so much pressure in the precious metals right now, juniors may participate a little earlier than they normally do.”
