USA’s Highest-Grade Silver Mine Starts Production: Aurcana Silver Corp. (Sept 2021 Site Tour Video)
Bill Powers visited the world’s highest-grade silver mine (P&P) owned 100% by Aurcana Silver Corp (TSXV:AUN – OTC: AUNFF) which just started production. The site tour occurred on September 17th, 2021. The Revenue-Virginius mine in Ouray, Colorado, USA is fully-permitted and will be one of the lowest-cost silver producers in the world at a feasibility study projection of only US$8/oz Ag (AISC) after byproduct credits. Aurcana has issued guidance that it expects to grow production up to 8mm to 9.5mm silver ounces per year by 2024 between the RV mine and expected recommencement of production at the fully-permitted Shafter silver mine in Texas.
