World’s Highest-Grade Silver Mine Site Tour: Aurcana Silver Corporation
Bill Powers visited the world’s highest-grade silver mine (P&P) owned 100% by Aurcana Silver Corp. The site tour occurred on August 5th and 6th. The Revenue-Virginius mine in Ouray, Colorado, USA is fully-permitted and will also be one of the lowest-cost silver producers in the world at only US$8/oz Ag (AISC) after byproduct credits. The exploration potential at this project is immense as COO Brian Briggs states in the video: “There is no other silver mine in the world that probably has our exploration potential.” Aurcana is currently in the final stages of securing a debt facility for the the final capex needed to commence production. The company has announced they intend to start production in Q1 2021.
