Silver is valued both as an industrial metal and as a precious metal. Silver mining companies are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of mineral properties. Silver is often a byproduct produced from mining these other metals.

With its stock down 6.6% over the past three months, it is easy to disregard Pan American Silver (TSE:PAAS). However, a closer look at its sound financials might cause you to think again. Given that fundamentals usually drive long-term market outcomes, the company is worth looking at. In this article, we decided to focus on Pan American Silver's ROE.

Return on Equity or ROE is a test of how effectively a company is growing its value and managing investors’ money. In simpler terms, it measures the profitability of a company in relation to shareholder's equity.

View our latest analysis for Pan American Silver

How To Calculate Return On Equity?

The formula for ROE is:

Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Pan American Silver is:

11% = US$298m ÷ US$2.6b (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2021).

The 'return' is the income the business earned over the last year. So, this means that for every CA$1 of its shareholder's investments, the company generates a profit of CA$0.11.

What Is The Relationship Between ROE And Earnings Growth?

So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. Based on how much of its profits the company chooses to reinvest or "retain", we are then able to evaluate a company's future ability to generate profits. Assuming all else is equal, companies that have both a higher return on equity and higher profit retention are usually the ones that have a higher growth rate when compared to companies that don't have the same features.

Pan American Silver's Earnings Growth And 11% ROE

To start with, Pan American Silver's ROE looks acceptable. Even when compared to the industry average of 13% the company's ROE looks quite decent. Consequently, this likely laid the ground for the impressive net income growth of 27% seen over the past five years by Pan American Silver. However, there could also be other drivers behind this growth. For instance, the company has a low payout ratio or is being managed efficiently.

Next, on comparing Pan American Silver's net income growth with the industry, we found that the company's reported growth is similar to the industry average growth rate of 32% in the same period.

The basis for attaching value to a company is, to a great extent, tied to its earnings growth. What investors need to determine next is if the expected earnings growth, or the lack of it, is already built into the share price. Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. Is PAAS fairly valued? This infographic on the company's intrinsic value has everything you need to know.

Is Pan American Silver Using Its Retained Earnings Effectively?

Pan American Silver has a really low three-year median payout ratio of 20%, meaning that it has the remaining 80% left over to reinvest into its business. So it looks like Pan American Silver is reinvesting profits heavily to grow its business, which shows in its earnings growth.

Moreover, Pan American Silver is determined to keep sharing its profits with shareholders which we infer from its long history of paying a dividend for at least ten years. Our latest analyst data shows that the future payout ratio of the company over the next three years is expected to be approximately 18%. Still, forecasts suggest that Pan American Silver's future ROE will rise to 14% even though the the company's payout ratio is not expected to change by much.

Summary

Overall, we are quite pleased with Pan American Silver's performance. In particular, it's great to see that the company is investing heavily into its business and along with a high rate of return, that has resulted in a sizeable growth in its earnings. On studying current analyst estimates, we found that analysts expect the company to continue its recent growth streak.

Many investors historically have turned to safe haven assets such as precious metals in times of economic and political turmoil. Mining companies have vastly outperformed the broader market in the last year. Here are the top 3 mining stocks with the best value, the fastest earnings growth, and the most momentum.

While Silvercorp Metals Inc. (TSE:SVM) shareholders are probably generally happy, the stock hasn't had particularly good run recently, with the share price falling 24% in the last quarter. But don't let that distract from the very nice return generated over three years. In fact, the company's share price bested the return of its market index in that time, posting a gain of 59%.

Now it's worth having a look at the company's fundamentals too, because that will help us determine if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.

See our latest analysis for Silvercorp Metals

To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS).

During the three years of share price growth, Silvercorp Metals actually saw its earnings per share (EPS) drop 4.3% per year.

Based on these numbers, we think that the decline in earnings per share may not be a good representation of how the business has changed over the years. So other metrics may hold the key to understanding what is influencing investors.

Languishing at just 0.6%, we doubt the dividend is doing much to prop up the share price. Do you think that shareholders are buying for the 2.6% per annum revenue growth trend? We don't. While we don't have an obvious theory to explain the share price rise, a closer look at the data might be enlightening.

You can see below how earnings and revenue have changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image).

We know that Silvercorp Metals has improved its bottom line lately, but what does the future have in store? So it makes a lot of sense to check out what analysts think Silvercorp Metals will earn in the future (free profit forecasts).

What About Dividends?

As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, Silvercorp Metals' TSR for the last 3 years was 63%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!

A Different Perspective

Silvercorp Metals shareholders are down 51% for the year (even including dividends), but the market itself is up 31%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 4%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Silvercorp Metals better, we need to consider many other factors. To that end, you should be aware of the 2 warning signs we've spotted with Silvercorp Metals .

Shares Outstanding: 277,741,117
Trading Symbols: TSX: GGD
OTCQX: GLGDF

HALIFAX, NS, Sept. 15, 2021 /CNW/ – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the Company") is pleased to release the results of 8 new drill holes from the El Favor East zone and 1 drill hole from El Favor, both in the Los Ricos North project. Drill hole LRGF-21-066 intersected 0.8m of 2,274 g/t silver equivalent ("AgEq"), within 108.0m of 59 g/t AgEq. Drill hole LRGF-21-069 intersected 58.8m of 111 g/t AgEq, including 4.8m of 551 g/t AgEq. See Table 1 for breakdown of silver and gold values.

"Hole 72 is our most easterly hole released to date and extends the mineralization 300m to the east from discovery hole 48," said Brad Langille, President and CEO. "We have redirected drills to El Favor East as we aim to include a portion of El Favor East in our upcoming initial Los Ricos North resource."

Table 1: Drill Hole Intersections

The exploration team has been moving east of El Favor with drilling in 25m stepouts in the eastern end of El Favor, beginning with discovery hole 48, and continuing to intersect wide strong mineralization. This area is known as the El Favor East zone, and a mapping program has extended the presence of mineralization 900m to the east of hole 48 (El Favor East zone discovery hole), as shown in Figure 2. To date, 300m of El Favor East has been drilled showing the strong mineralization.

Three of the four major veins (Salomon, Guitarrillas and Los Chivos) appear to converge into a 100m wide zone at the western end of the El Favor deposit in the vicinity of the Hundido Pit at an elevation of 1300m. The wallrock in between the veins is strongly silicified, altered and mineralized. The merging of these veins continue to provide significant widths of good grade which could be potentially amenable to bulk mining.

The El Orito deposit (as presently defined) is located about 800 metres along strike to the west of the Hundido Pit (see Figure 3). Wide zones of precious and base metal mineralization were cut by drill holes at El Orito at elevations between 600 to 800m. Geological mapping, sampling and Induced Polarization ("IP") surveying programs in the area between El Orito and El Favor are underway.

Los Ricos District Exploration Projects

The Company's two exploration projects at its Los Ricos property are in Jalisco state, Mexico. The Los Ricos South Project began in March 2019 and an initial resource was announced on July 29, 2020 which indicated a Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 63.7 million ounces AgEq grading 199 g/t AgEq contained in 10.0 million tonnes, and an Inferred Resource of 19.9 million ounces AgEq grading 190 g/t AgEq contained in 3.3 million tonnes. An initial PEA on the project was announced on January 20, 2021 indicating an NPV_5% of US$295M.

The Los Ricos North Project was launched in March 2020 and includes drilling at the El Favor, La Trini, Casados and El Orito targets. During 2020, GoGold's exploration team identified over 100 targets on the Los Ricos North properties, demonstrating the significant exploration potential. The Company plans to drill 10 of these targets as part of its 2021 drilling program which is planned to exceed 100,000 metres of drilling and will be one of the largest in Mexico.

Procedure, Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data Verification
The diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling. When the sample lengths are determined, the full core is sawn with a diamond blade core saw with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to the core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work.

The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the ActLabs facility in Zacatecas, Mexico. ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are assayed for gold using a 50-gram charge by fire assay (Code 1A2-50) and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 1A3-50). Silver and multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code 1F2 Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag FA-GRAV Ag).

Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and includes the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials (certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data. All results stated in this announcement have passed GoGold's QA/QC protocols.

TORONTO, September 14, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) ("Americas" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update to the re-opening of the Company’s Cosalá Operations.

The Company began recalling its workers as of September 11, 2021 and commenced re-opening the operation as of September 13, 2021 as the employees arrived on site. Given the favourable conditions of both the mine and mill, new mine production and concentrate is expected to start shipping in October 2021.

Government inspectors from the Mexican Ministry of Labour have physically inspected the San Rafael mine and Los Braceros mill and reviewed the re-start plans, which validated the existing safe conditions at the operations. The Company now has unobstructed access to both the mine and mill at the Cosalá Operations.

Once in operation, it is anticipated that the current higher silver prices will allow the Company to target the higher-grade silver ores in the Upper Zone of San Rafael and develop the silver-copper EC120 project. Mining these silver-rich areas of the Cosalá Operations is expected to significantly increase silver production to over 2.5 million ounces of silver per annum in the years following the re-start. Coupled with the exploration success at the Galena Complex in Idaho, where the Company is targeting to reach peak historical annual production levels of approximately 5 million ounces per year, the Company expects to significantly increase silver production over the next few years.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 14, 2021) – Monarca Minerals, Inc. (TSXV: MMN) ("Monarca" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has completed an additional three drill holes at its San Jose project.

Michael R. Smith (Monarca Minerals Senior VP Exploration) states, "We are pleased that drilling at the San Jose Project continues to intersect significant skarn mineralization as drilling progresses to the north."

With the completion of an additional three drill holes, a total of 1,429.5m have been drilled. The average drilling rate is about 85m/day, drilling one shift/day. A booster compressor is locally being used to manage water flows.

Drill holes SJ10, SJ11 and SJ15 have been successfully completed – all of the drill hole intersected exoskarn and/or endoskarn mineralization with sulfide minerals (Figure 1: Field Log Summary). The sulfide minerals observed were dominantly pyrite, with very fine grained dark sulfide minerals, which appear to be sphalerite and galena in some cases. Chalcopyrite was locally observed. The samples have been delivered to the laboratory sample preparation facility in Chihuahua, Mexico.

SJ10: Drill hole SJ10, angled easterly at -60º, was drilled to 352.0m. It was drilled targeting a strong IP geophysical anomaly and intersected endoskarn with silicification. Up to 5% pyrite, along with 0-1% localized dark sulfides and chalcopyrite were observed (Figure 2: Drilling IP Geophysical Targets).

SJ11: Drill hole SJ11 was drilled vertically to a total depth of 259.1m targeting a strong IP anomaly in an area of endoskarn and marble outcrop, close to the Calderon mine. It intersected 65.5m of exoskarn above endoskarn with silicification in biotite porphyry which was not observed in outcrop. The biotite porphyry has several percent magnetite, which likely explains the large magnetic geophysical anomaly in the southwest portion of the survey area. Pyrite and other sulfide minerals were observed in field logging.

SJ15: Drill hole SJ15 targeted a strong IP geophysical anomaly and was drilled vertically, with a total depth of 349.0m. It intersected 48.8m of exoskarn, above 298.7m of endoskarn. Up to 3% pyrite with other sulfide minerals were observed. The granodiorite hosted endoskarn has up to 5% pyrite, with other sulfide minerals.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Statement

Procedures have been implemented by Monarca to assure Quality Assurance Quality Control (QAQC) of all assaying that will be done at an ISO Accredited laboratory. Drill hole samples are collected at the drill rig and are riffle split, disposing of 1/4 or 1/2 of the sample, collecting two samples, one for the assay laboratory and one as a duplicate. The samples are then stored securely prior to shipment. A sterile blank sample (un-mineralized basalt) and a mineralized reference standard (used by Monarca since 2009) are alternately placed in the sample sequence every 20th sample. The assays received for the QAQC samples will be reviewed for acceptable values by Monarca's Qualified Person.

Generally, when a single insider buys stock, it is usually not a big deal. However, when several insiders are buying, like in the case of Chesapeake Gold Corp. (CVE:CKG), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

View our latest analysis for Chesapeake Gold

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Chesapeake Gold

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when CEO & Director Alan Pangbourne bought CA$224k worth of shares at a price of CA$4.00 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than CA$3.85 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.

While Chesapeake Gold insiders bought shares during the last year, they didn't sell. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you click on the chart, you can see all the individual transactions, including the share price, individual, and the date!

Chesapeake Gold is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find winning investments this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.

Insider Ownership

I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. It appears that Chesapeake Gold insiders own 35% of the company, worth about CA$91m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.

So What Do The Chesapeake Gold Insider Transactions Indicate?

The fact that there have been no Chesapeake Gold insider transactions recently certainly doesn't bother us. But insiders have shown more of an appetite for the stock, over the last year. Insiders own shares in Chesapeake Gold and we see no evidence to suggest they are worried about the future. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. Case in point: We've spotted 2 warning signs for Chesapeake Gold you should be aware of, and 1 of these is a bit unpleasant.

Of course Chesapeake Gold may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of high quality companies.

For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body. We currently account for open market transactions and private dispositions, but not derivative transactions.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 14, 2021) – Couloir Capital Ltd. is pleased to announce initiation of research coverage on Chesapeake Gold Corp. (TSXV: CKG) (OTCQX: CHPGF). The report is titled, "Developing One of the Largest Gold Mines in the World." The report contains a detailed review of the company and its flagship asset – Metates. The Metates Project is recognized as one of the world's largest gold-silver resources.

Report excerpt 1: "CKG has again shaken up its development strategy and has filed a PEA for an even smaller operation, with projected throughput for a smaller "starter" plant with 15,000 tpd (and optionality to expand throughput to 30,000 tpd). In addition to the smaller production footprint, CKG has decided to alter its planned gold-silver recovery processes, moving away from an autoclave recovery process to a sulphide heap leach mine."

Report excerpt 2: "The opportunistic shift to a sulphide heap leach operation represents CKG's move to apply newly acquired technological capabilities to address the persistent CAPEX issue at Metates. In January 2021, CKG announced the closing of the previously announced all-stock acquisition of Alderley Gold Corp. ("Alderley"), a private Canadian company with rights to an innovative sulphide leaching technology."

The report can be accessed through Couloir Capital's portal: https://www.couloircapital.com/research-portal

There is no charge for portal access. Serious investors and other interested parties are encouraged to download the report.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pretium Resources Inc. (TSX/NYSE: PVG) (“Pretivm” or the “Company”) today announced that it continues to intersect high-grade gold mineralization in Phase 3 of the North Block resource expansion drill program at the Brucejack Mine in British Columbia.

Phase 3 of the North Block resource expansion drill program was initiated to follow-up on the high-grade gold intersected directly to the north of the Valley of the Kings deposit during Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the North Block drill program (see news releases dated February 25, 2021 and June 15, 2021).

Phase 3 results include seven intersections assaying above 1,000 grams per tonne gold. Drill hole VU-3255 assayed 493.2 grams per tonne gold over 15.0 meters, including 7,360 grams per tonne gold over 1.0 meter. Drill hole VU-3242 assayed 676.8 grams per tonne gold over 7.0 meters, including 3,150 grams per tonne gold over 1.5 meter. High-grade gold mineralization was intercepted up to 450 meters from the current Valley of the Kings resource shell and up to 300 meters from the West Zone resource shell. (See Table 1 below for assays.)

One drill hole from each drill fan was extended to test the exploration potential to the north of the North Block Zone. These extended holes intersected stockwork veining and high-grade gold mineralization along trend from the West Zone. An intersection from drill hole VU-3252 assayed 3,660.0 grams per tonne gold over 1.0 meter at 330.5 meters down hole.

“These new drill results from the North Block zone increase our confidence in the continuity of high-grade gold mineralization to the north of the Valley of the Kings deposit. An updated Mineral Resource estimate is expected to be released in the first half of next year and it will include the North Block zone,” said Jacques Perron, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pretivm. “Phase 4 of the North Block drilling program is currently underway to test the potential to the west of the first three phases of drilling.”

The North Block Zone is located directly to the north of the Valley of the Kings deposit. The resource expansion exploration program is designed to test for Valley of the Kings-style mineralization to the north and at depth. Phase 3 of the program was drilled from the 1150 and 1070 Levels in the mine, targeting an area extending up to 450 meters north of the current Valley of the Kings resource shell.

North Block – Phase 3 Results

Phase 3 of the North Block resource expansion program comprised 25,154 meters in 85 drill holes. Drilling from the 1150 Level intersected the extension of the Domain 13 Stockwork, which is currently being mined in the Valley of the Kings. Drilling from the 1070 Level intersected the recently identified corridor of gold mineralization in the footwall of the Domain 13 structure, featuring coarse electrum in northwest oriented quartz-carbonate veins within a broader halo of lower grade gold mineralization.

For a plan and section view of the 2021 North Block Phase 3 program please see the following link: http://ml.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/1031d3cf-1d7a-4512-bcab-bcd1901aa4a4.

Significant drill results are shown below:

• Hole VU-3042 intersected 93.4 grams per tonne gold over 34.5 meters, including 3,140 grams per tonne gold and 2,000 grams per tonne silver over 1.0 meter.

• Hole VU-3241 intersected 133.7 grams per tonne gold over 6.0 meters, including 3,590 grams per tonne gold and 2,680 grams per tonne silver over 1.0 meter.

• Hole VU-3242 intersected 676.8 grams per tonne gold over 7.0 meters, including 3,150 grams per tonne gold and 1,870 grams per tonne silver over 1.5 meters.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 13, 2021) – IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTC Pink: ISVLF) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has purchased another surface drilling rig to add to productivity of its exploration plans for 2021-2022. This brings the total Company-owned drill fleet to two surface and two underground rigs. To date in 2021, IMPACT has drilled over 9,000 meters. Initial drill assay results have been published and further results are pending.

With this new drilling capacity IMPACT plans to add a second phase of drilling for an additional 10,000 meters to test priority targets including the Pachuqueno area of the Guadalupe Mine, southern extensions of the San Ramon mine, and initial drilling on new greenfields targets developed by the Exploration team.

CEO Fred Davidson stated "With cashflow positive at operations and a healthy treasury we are focusing on following up on the many qualified and highly prospective targets within our GIS database on our large 211 square kilometer land package. The fourth drill will add productivity and capacity for us to test new targets starting with the San Ramon Mine South area which could open up new areas for mining."

The current Phase One 10,000 metre drill program on both near mine and greenfield exploration targets (see IMPACT news release dated February 1, 2021) program is ongoing. Initial Phase One drill results from the Veta Negra Mine area included 9.8 meters of 211 g/t Silver and 13.85 meters of 186g/t Silver (see IMPACT news release dated July 13, 2021).

We can readily understand why investors are attracted to unprofitable companies. For example, biotech and mining exploration companies often lose money for years before finding success with a new treatment or mineral discovery. But the harsh reality is that very many loss making companies burn through all their cash and go bankrupt.

Given this risk, we thought we'd take a look at whether Investigator Resources (ASX:IVR) shareholders should be worried about its cash burn. In this article, we define cash burn as its annual (negative) free cash flow, which is the amount of money a company spends each year to fund its growth. Let's start with an examination of the business' cash, relative to its cash burn.

View our latest analysis for Investigator Resources

When Might Investigator Resources Run Out Of Money?

A company's cash runway is calculated by dividing its cash hoard by its cash burn. In December 2020, Investigator Resources had AU$14m in cash, and was debt-free. In the last year, its cash burn was AU$4.7m. Therefore, from December 2020 it had 2.9 years of cash runway. That's decent, giving the company a couple years to develop its business. Importantly, if we extrapolate recent cash burn trends, the cash runway would be noticeably longer. Depicted below, you can see how its cash holdings have changed over time.

How Is Investigator Resources' Cash Burn Changing Over Time?

In our view, Investigator Resources doesn't yet produce significant amounts of operating revenue, since it reported just AU$70k in the last twelve months. As a result, we think it's a bit early to focus on the revenue growth, so we'll limit ourselves to looking at how the cash burn is changing over time. In fact, it ramped its spending strongly over the last year, increasing cash burn by 179%. It's fair to say that sort of rate of increase cannot be maintained for very long, without putting pressure on the balance sheet. Investigator Resources makes us a little nervous due to its lack of substantial operating revenue. We prefer most of the stocks on this list of stocks that analysts expect to grow.

Can Investigator Resources Raise More Cash Easily?

Given its cash burn trajectory, Investigator Resources shareholders may wish to consider how easily it could raise more cash, despite its solid cash runway. Generally speaking, a listed business can raise new cash through issuing shares or taking on debt. Commonly, a business will sell new shares in itself to raise cash and drive growth. We can compare a company's cash burn to its market capitalisation to get a sense for how many new shares a company would have to issue to fund one year's operations.

Since it has a market capitalisation of AU$86m, Investigator Resources' AU$4.7m in cash burn equates to about 5.4% of its market value. Given that is a rather small percentage, it would probably be really easy for the company to fund another year's growth by issuing some new shares to investors, or even by taking out a loan.

So, Should We Worry About Investigator Resources' Cash Burn?

As you can probably tell by now, we're not too worried about Investigator Resources' cash burn. For example, we think its cash runway suggests that the company is on a good path. While we must concede that its increasing cash burn is a bit worrying, the other factors mentioned in this article provide great comfort when it comes to the cash burn. Considering all the factors discussed in this article, we're not overly concerned about the company's cash burn, although we do think shareholders should keep an eye on how it develops. Separately, we looked at different risks affecting the company and spotted 5 warning signs for Investigator Resources (of which 2 are concerning!) you should know about.

Extensive Portfolio of Pioneering Clean Technologies; Cellulosic Biofuels

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., Sept. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comstock Mining Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) today announced its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Plain Sight Innovations Corporation (“PSI”) in exchange for 8,500,000 restricted shares of its common stock, and all of the intellectual property assets of PSI’s affiliate, FLUX Photon Corporation (“FPC”), in exchange for a performance-based cash payment equal to 20% of the Company’s future consolidated net cash flow from operations up to $18,000,000.

PSI’s management team has deep experience in a diverse array of industries, including renewable fuels, hazardous waste, agriproducts, and other commodities with almost thirty years of clean technology research, development, and commercialization expertise, with an emphasis on the extraction and valorization of natural resources.

PSI owns an array of patented, patent-pending and proprietary process technologies that were designed to convert low cost, ubiquitous woody biomass feedstocks into cellulosic ethanol, while producing a portfolio of co-products, including renewable diesel and an extraordinary new form of biomass-derived crystalline graphite, or biographite, with compelling applications in the production of carbon neutral batteries and other electrification components. PSI also operates a commercial pilot cellulosic fuel facility based on its technologies in Wisconsin, where it has already proven the ability to efficiently convert various forms of woody biomass into cellulosic ethanol and co-product precursors for renewable diesel, biographite, bioplastics, and a portfolio of carbon neutral alternatives to fossil fuels.

The Path to Decarbonization is in Plain Sight

The transportation sector is expected to dramatically increase the production of electric vehicles to more than 30% of all auto sales by 2030. However, more than two thirds of the energy required to power those electric vehicles is expected to come from burning fossil fuels, and the direct combustion of liquid fuels will most certainly continue to be the dominant source of power for transportation for decades. Burning less, burning smarter, and reusing emissions are therefore critical objectives as the world moves to clean energy and decarbonization.

“Renewable fuels provide a critical pathway for decarbonization, however, most current forms of renewable fuel draw from the same pool of conventional feedstocks, including corn and various vegetable oils in the U.S., and the entire universe of those feedstocks only represents a tiny fraction of the domestic burn,” said David Winsness, PSI’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Unfortunately, the lifecycle carbon benefits of growing, harvesting, and using conventional feedstocks are extremely limited. Our technologies were designed to address that dilemma by converting abundantly available forestry wastes, short rotation energy crops, and other low-cost sources of woody biomass into natural liquid fuels with vastly superior benefits for a fraction of the refining costs of conventional renewable fuels.”

The U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that more than one billion tons of forestry wastes and other forms of biomass will be produced annually by 2027 with continued growth thereafter. That’s enough new feedstock to produce as much as 70 billion gallons per year of advanced carbon neutral fuels with PSI’s proven technologies, or more than one third of the U.S. transportation demand on an energy equivalent basis.

Cellulosic Fuels

“That’s enough feedstock to rapidly neutralize motor fuel emissions in conjunction with America’s transition to electrification and renewable energy,” added Winsness. “PSI’s cellulosic fuels facilities will be the first of their kind, with an expected financial, natural, and social impact far in excess of any other platform, renewable or otherwise.”

PSI’s first facility is expected to scale up to an initial capacity exceeding 330,000 tons per year of forestry wastes over its first three years of operations, as it extracts, converts, and refines biomass into ethanol, renewable diesel fuel, and biographite to generate annualized revenues exceeding $86,000,000, $173,000,000, and $346,000,000 per year during the facility’s first three full years of operations, respectively, as shown in the following summary projections:

Comstock’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Corrado De Gasperis, commented, “Cellulosic fuel production, like lithium-ion battery recycling and industrial hemp production, is poised for, and we are planning for, exponential growth. Our guidance for these three businesses represents just one facility each and we are planning for over one hundred cellulosic fuel facilities in the U.S. alone. That level of production barely dents the transportation fuels market, yet it represents a meaningful impact on shifting consumption and the resulting decarbonization.”

Ecosystem of Strategic Feedstocks, Processes, and Products

PSI’s technologies are especially important to the Company’s plans to build a synergistic ecosystem of strategic lines of business and production facilities with complimentary feedstocks and products, supported by world class technological and engineering talent. The Company’s ability to systemically discover, develop, engineer, manufacture and commission its own solutions, represents a remarkable competitive advantage that enables speed.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence estimates that the major automakers have committed over $300 billion to developing electric vehicles (“EVs”) and that over 2,000 GWh of lithium-ion battery (“LIB”) production capacity is in the pipeline. That amount of production in turn equates to 1.4 million tons of new annual graphite demand by 2028. Conventional graphite comes from natural deposits or the carbonization of petroleum products, with market values ranging from about $10,000 per ton for natural graphite to $20,000 per ton for synthetic graphite.

De Gasperis continued, “Most of my relevant experience comes from managing the global manufacturing of carbon-based, material-science products, particularly synthetic graphite. I was literally stunned by PSI’s discovery of a natural source of carbon neutral biographite. When we consider that every cathode in every lithium-ion battery needs an anode, and most anodes are made from synthetic graphite which is substantially all produced with carbon intensive fossil fuel derivatives, then we understand that that industry is not climate smart or clean. We can fundamentally change the game by introducing the world’s first scalable carbon neutral alternative to fossil fuel derived graphite.”

PSI’s intellectual property portfolio also includes remarkably advanced new approaches to carbon capture and utilization, atmospheric water harvesting, waste heat and energy recovery, and industrial photosynthesis for terascale decarbonization and the sustainable production of very large agricultural outputs for fractional inputs.

Point Roberts, Washington and Delta, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2021) – Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks releases today's edition of Exploring Mining Podcast, featuring an exclusive interview with Kevin Drover, President, Chairman and CEO of Aurcana Silver Corporation (TSXV: AUN) (OTCQX: AUNFF).

Investorideas.com spoke with Kevin Drover, President, Chairman and CEO of Aurcana Silver Corporation (TSXV: AUN) (OTCQX: AUNFF), who said that the resumption of activity at the company's flagship Revenue-Virginius polymetallic mine in Ouray, Colorado – which initiated commissioning with development ore on August 27, 2021 – puts Aurcana on track for success.

"This brings us back into the group of "producer" again and this is something that we've been wanting to do since I took over Aurcana in mid 2014," Drover said.

A recent press release reported initial assay results from the mine's 1800 drift level, which showed an "average undiluted grade over 78 feet of drift of 54.0 (33.9 diluted to a minimum mining width of 1.5 ft) ounces per ton silver equivalent (AgEq)1 per short ton (ST)." The vein's actual width turned out to be 1.19ft, higher than the modeled width of 0.23 feet, on which Drover commented:

"It bodes very well for what we can expect to mine when we're in the stope itself."

The aforementioned vein is the Virginius vein which currently commands most of the company's attention, but Drover went on to discuss the other veins at Revenue-Virginius.

"We have nine major veins on our property," he said. "We're going to be mining [the Virginius vein] for the next seven years for sure, and probably a lot longer than that. We do have the Terrible vein, the Yellow Rose, the Wheel of Fortune – and all of these veins have all been in production at one time in the past, but we just haven't had the chance to get to them to do a large amount of exploration at this stage. We are doing some work on the Wheel of Fortune, and we hope to be able to get a drilling program completed on that sometime in the not too distant future. But right now our focus is on the Virginius vein, of course, and getting ourselves positioned so that we can get up to full production from that vein."

Drover explained that while Aurcana's original intention to become cash flow positive by September has been delayed, the company is still on track to ramp up production.

"We had originally anticipated being cash flow positive in September, but of course we've been delayed a month," he said. "That delay was caused by congestion on the 1800 level."

"We're looking at October now before we're going to be hitting cash flow positive, but we're pretty certain that October is going to be the month when we will hit our numbers," he said. "We'll get up to 270 tons per day, and be cash flow positive. Over the course of September we're going to be ramping up from about 130 tons per day to about 270 in October.

In the future, in 2022-23, we'll be looking to expand that 270 up toward the 500 tons a day, and get up toward the 6-6.5 million ounce production number."

With activities resumed on the property, Aurcana foresees the possibility of mine life extending past feasibility study projections.

"The Revenue-Virginius mine, as per the feasibility study, has a seven year mine life," Drover said. "We certainly anticipate decades. We still have to do the homework, but we intend to be developing toward the north on our 1800, 1500, and 1200 levels, and we anticipate that the Virginius vein runs another 8,000 feet of strike length. We think we're going to be mining there in excess of 20 years."

Though the company's recent news has been focused on the Revenue-Virginius property, Drover also discussed the status of the company's Shafter-Presidio Silver Project in Texas.

"We are doing some work on the Shafter project," he said. "It's going to be a mine again, it's pure silver. We are doing a new resource estimate on that that we hope to have out soon. We are looking to possibly do a drill program later in this year to expand the resource somewhat, and to get samples for metallurgical testing. Sometime in the first half of 2022 we anticipate initiating a feasibility study, and, pending a positive feasibility study, we would probably be in a position to make a production decision sometime in the mid 2022 to third quarter of 2022."

HALIFAX, NS, Sept. 8, 2021 /CNW/ – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) ("GoGold", "the Company") is pleased to release the results of 5 new drill holes from the El Favor deposit in the Los Ricos North project. Drill hole LRGF-21-060 intersected 82.9m of 265 g/t silver equivalent ("AgEq"), including 8.1m of 1,127 g/t AgEq, which also included 1.4m of 2,587 g/t AgEq. See Table 1 for breakdown of silver and gold values.

"El Favor is providing us with exciting drilling results at both the eastern and western ends. Hole 60 is near the west end of the deposit, and gave us an excellent high grade intercept of over 2 kilos, enveloped in a very wide 83m intercept of 265 g/t AgEq. At the other end, in El Favor East, hole 59 is a strong hole which is 100m to the east of hole 56, previously our most easterly hole in El Favor East," said Brad Langille, President and CEO. "We continue to extend strike length at El Favor with excellent widths and grades, which we anticipate will contribute greatly to the upcoming resource."

Figure 2: El Favor East

The exploration team has been moving east of El Favor with drilling in 25m stepouts in the eastern end of El Favor, beginning with discovery hole 48, and continuing to intersect wide strong mineralization. This area is known as the El Favor East zone and in addition to these drill holes, additional drill holes further to the east are pending assays. The mapping program at El Favor East has extended the presence of mineralization 900m to the east of hole 48 (El Favor East zone discovery hole), as shown in Figure 2.

Three of the four major veins (Salomon, Guitarrillas and Los Chivos) appear to converge into a 100m wide zone at the western end of the El Favor deposit in the vicinity of the Hundido Pit at an elevation of 1300m. The wallrock in between the veins is strongly silicified, altered and mineralized. The merging of these veins continue to provide significant widths of good grade which could be potentially amenable to bulk mining.

The El Orito deposit (as presently defined) is located about 800 metres along strike to the west of the Hundido Pit (see Figure 3). Wide zones of precious and base metal mineralization were cut by drill holes at El Orito at elevations between 600 to 800m. Geological mapping, sampling and Induced Polarization ("IP") surveying programs in the area between El Orito and El Favor are underway.

Los Ricos District Exploration Projects

The Company's two exploration projects at its Los Ricos property are in Jalisco state, Mexico. The Los Ricos South Project began in March 2019 and an initial resource was announced on July 29, 2020 which indicated a Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 63.7 million ounces AgEq grading 199 g/t AgEq contained in 10.0 million tonnes, and an Inferred Resource of 19.9 million ounces AgEq grading 190 g/t AgEq contained in 3.3 million tonnes. An initial PEA on the project was announced on January 20, 2021 indicating an NPV_5% of US$295M.

The Los Ricos North Project was launched in March 2020 and includes drilling at the El Favor, La Trini, Casados and El Orito targets. During 2020, GoGold's exploration team identified over 100 targets on the Los Ricos North properties, demonstrating the significant exploration potential. The Company plans to drill 10 of these targets as part of its 2021 drilling program which is planned to exceed 100,000 metres of drilling and will be one of the largest in Mexico.

Procedure, Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data Verification

The diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling. When the sample lengths are determined, the full core is sawn with a diamond blade core saw with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to the core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work.

The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the ActLabs facility in Zacatecas, Mexico. ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are assayed for gold using a 50-gram charge by fire assay (Code 1A2-50) and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 1A3-50). Silver and multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code 1F2 Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag FA-GRAV Ag).

Quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and includes the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials (certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data. All results stated in this announcement have passed GoGold's QA/QC protocols.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / September 8, 2021 / Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX:SAM): The full report can be accessed by clicking on the following link: http://stonegateinc.com/SAM.TO Initiation.pdf.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Starcore International Mines is engaged in precious metals production and exploration with a focus and experience in Mexico. The Company's principal property, the San Martin Mine, is located in Queretaro, Mexico, where it engages in extracting and processing gold and silver. The San Martin Mine is the company's primary source of cash flows. This base of producing assets is complemented by exploration and development projects throughout North America, including the El Creston project, the Teocuitla Claims, and the Ajax Project. The El Creston Project is located in Sonora, Mexico and hosts a porphyry-style molybdenum copper mineralization, The Teocuitla Claims are located in Sonora, Mexico, northwest part of the El Creston property and hosts similar mineralization, and the Ajax Project is an undeveloped molybdenum deposit in the advanced stage of exploration located in British Columbia, Canada. Starcore International Mines Ltd. was founded in 1980. The company was incorporated in 1980. The company was formerly known as Starcore International Ventures Ltd. and changed its name to Starcore International Mines Ltd. in 2008.

SUMMARY

• Ongoing gold production – Starcore's flagship property, the San Martin Mine, produces silver and gold and generates cash flow, mining ~650 tonnes per day. It is estimated that the property contains a total of 267,306 Oz of AuEq with a current mine life of 10+ years.

• Low risk exploration exposure – In addition to the principal producing property, Starcore also possesses 100% ownership interest in two additional properties: El Creston, a large molybdenum project located in Mexico, and the Ajax Molybdenum Project, a 1,718-hectare property hosting a porphyry molybdenum deposit.

• Operational transformation – Starcore has been focused on streamlining its operations through strategic asset sales, increased workforce efficiency, and decreases in management salaries. As a result, the company has seen overall mine costs reduced from $74/t in FY19 to $60/t in FY20.

• Simplified capital structure – The Company has no long-term debt, and currently has $4.4M in cash. Additionally, ~20% of shares are held by management and/or a strategic shareholder.

• Responsible mining practices – The Company engages in socially responsible business practices and seeks to create initiatives that will encourage community development and pride. These initiatives are designed to sustain environmental sensitivity, inspire everyone to be mindful of the economic, environmental, and social issues that will impact the community's future.

• Experienced management team – Collectively, Starcore's management brings over 100 years of experience to the business of mineral exploration and development and offers a unique combination of technical, geographic, and capital markets experience.

• Valuation – We are using a DCF on our mine model for the San Martin mine. Using a 10% discount rate and incorporating a sensitivity analysis to gold prices we arrive at a valuation range of CAD$0.35 to CAD$0.50 with a mid-point at CAD $0.40. We note that we have not applied any value to additional non-producing assets, El Creston Project, Ajax Project, or its recently acquired Teocuitla claims, all of which would represent upside. See page 7 for further details.

TORONTO, September 08, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) ("Americas" or the "Company"), a growing North American precious metals producer, provides an update to its Mineral Reserve and Resource statement as at June 30, 2021.

On a consolidated and attributable basis, estimated contained metal in the proven and probable mineral reserve ("P&P") categories totalled 32.5 million ounces of silver, 139.9 million pounds of zinc, 114.3 million pounds of lead and 30.2 million pounds of copper. Estimated contained metal in the measured and indicated mineral resource ("M&I") categories totalled 72.2 million ounces of silver, 584 thousand ounces of gold, 804.5 million pounds of zinc, 725.4 million pounds of lead and 34.4 million pounds of copper. Please refer to the Company’s website for a breakdown of the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource statement by asset.

2021 Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Update Highlights – Galena Complex

• Since the June 2020 Mineral Reserve and Resource statement, exploration drilling was solely focused at the Galena Complex (60% USA/40% Eric Sprott).

• Drilling to date at the Galena Complex includes completion of the Phase 1 drill program based on the Galena Complex Recapitalization Plan ("Recapitalization Plan") that started in November 2019 and was completed on June 30, 2021. Overall, the Phase 1 drilling program exceeded expectations by over 80% of target for silver and silver equivalent ounces. The Company has now begun the Phase 2 drill program with the goal of matching the success of the Phase 1 drilling as well as the conversion of mineral resources to mineral reserves, with several targets identified both at depth and close to infrastructure over the next 18 months.

• Year over year, P&P silver reserves at the Galena Complex on a 100% basis increased from 12.0 million silver ounces to 16.6 million silver ounces, a 38% increase from previous reported estimates.

• M&I silver resources at the Galena Complex on a 100% basis increased from 37.3 million silver ounces to 64.2 million silver ounces, a 72% increase year over year.

• Inferred silver resources at the Galena Complex on a 100% basis increased from 78.6 million silver ounces to 106.5 million silver ounces, a 36% increase year over year.

"The increase in silver resources at the Galena Complex surpassed the Company’s target of adding 50 million ounces year over year and for all of the Phase 1 drilling program by over 80%, continuing to demonstrate the significant potential of the operation," stated Americas President and CEO Darren Blasutti. "The focus of these additions will be for the operation to double current silver equivalent production at the Galena Complex exiting 2022 coupled with the start of the Phase 2 drilling program which is expected to continue to add more silver ounces at depth and close to infrastructure while also converting silver resources to silver reserves."

Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Statement – June 30, 2021¹

Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves – 100% basis for all assets except the Galena Complex at 60%

At the Galena Complex, the Company successfully replaced mined tonnes and added silver ounces to the mineral reserve through the addition of silver-copper veins into the mineral reserve. The Company added approximately 4.6 million ounces (100% basis) which represents a 38% increase year over year. In addition to adding to the silver mineral reserve, the Company added approximately 3.0 million pounds of copper (100% basis) from the successful drilling of high-grade silver-copper rich vein systems. As a result, the silver mineral reserve grade increased from 339 g/t to 475 g/t, a 40% increase year over year.

Due to the illegal blockade at the Cosalá Operations, the Company was not able to conduct any exploration activities on the property and the mineral reserve for the Cosalá Operations remained relatively unchanged year over year. The Company continues to anticipate the near-term restart of mining activities at the Cosalá Operations following the signing of an agreement to reopen the operations with Mexican ministers in July 2021 and will be updating investors in the near term. Once the operation restarts, the Company expects to generate meaningful cash flow from the operation given the prevailing strong silver, zinc and lead prices.

As a result of the temporary suspension of mining operations at Relief Canyon, the Company has reclassified all proven and probable mineral reserves into measured and indicated mineral resources as the Company continues its metallurgical testing at the property. Other than mining depletion, there were no changes in contained gold and silver ounces in the total mineral resource at Relief Canyon.

Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources – 100% basis for all assets except the Galena Complex at 60%

At the Galena Complex, the Company completed Phase 1 drilling as part of the Recapitalization Plan. The M&I silver resource (100% basis) increased from 37.3 million silver ounces to 64.2 million silver ounces, a 72% increase compared to last year. M&I lead resource (100% basis) increased by 127% year over year to 600 million pounds while M&I copper resource (100% basis) increased by 42% year over year to 18.5 million pounds. The exploration drilling successfully expanded known vein systems in addition to identifying new vein systems.

The Phase 2 drill program has commenced with several targets identified with the goal of continuing to grow the silver mineral resource of existing vein systems and to discover potential new orebodies both at depth and near surface. Drilling will continue to focus on the three south-east plunging veins including the 72 Vein, the Silver Vein and the down-dip extension of the 360 Complex. Drilling has started from a drill station further east on the 5500-Level to continue to test the extension of the Silver Vein following the success of the initial 21-hole drill program. The first drill hole from this station has commenced and is targeting the Silver Vein approximately 500 feet below the drill station. Subsequent drill stations are planned further east on the 5500-Level to continue to target the Silver Vein and 360 Complex. The initial drilling success of the 360 Complex during Phase 1 is believed to be the top of the system with the potential to extend at depth. Phase 2 drilling will include continued exploration in gap areas within this south-east plunging trend to determine continuity and potential sources of these high-grade mineralized vein systems.

The goal of Phase 2 drilling is to match the success of the Phase 1 drilling as well as add significant mine life through the conversion of mineral resources to mineral reserves.

Inferred Mineral Resources – 100% basis for all assets except the Galena Complex at 60%

The inferred silver resource benefitted from the continued drilling at the Galena Complex pursuant to the Recapitalization Plan. Inferred silver resource (100% basis) at the Galena Complex increased from 78.6 million silver ounces to 106.5 million silver ounces, representing a 36% increase from the previously reported estimate while the grade remained relatively unchanged. Inferred lead resource (100% basis) at the Galena Complex increased by 27% to 1,010 million pounds from the previously reported estimate. With the successful drilling of silver-copper ore at Galena, the Company was able to increase inferred copper resource (100% basis) by 47% to 24.2 million pounds from the previously reported estimate. With the remaining drilling considered under the Recapitalization Plan, the Company is confident that inferred mineral resources will continue to increase, offset by any upgrades in mineral resource classification in next year’s Mineral Resource estimate.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors:

The terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource", "inferred mineral resource" used in the press release are Canadian mining terms used in accordance with NI 43-101 under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

While the terms "mineral resource", "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource", and "inferred mineral resource" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, they are not defined terms under standards in the United States and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As such, information contained in the Company's disclosure concerning descriptions of mineralization and resources under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S companies in SEC filings. With respect to "inferred mineral resource" there is a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

¹ Notes for Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates:

CIM (2014) Definition and Standards were followed for Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates. Mineral Reserves are estimated at a net smelter return ("NSR") cut-off value of US$50/tonne at San Rafael, US$45/tonne at El Cajón, US$45/tonne at Zone 120 and US$198/tonne at Galena. The NSR cut-off is calculated using recent operating results for recoveries, off-site concentrate costs, and on-site operating costs. Mineral Reserves are estimated using metal prices of US$18.00 (US$17.00 in 2020) per ounce of silver, US$2.75 (US$2.50 in 2020) per pound of copper, US$0.90 (US$0.90 in 2020) per pound of lead and US$1.10 (US$0.90 in 2020) per pound of zinc. Numbers may not add or multiply accurately due to rounding.

Mineral Resources are estimated at a NSR cut-off value of US$34/tonne at San Rafael, US$45/tonne at El Cajón, US$45/tonne at Zone 120 and US$198/tonne at Galena. Mineral Resources are estimated at a 90g/tonne silver equivalent cut-off grade at Nuestra Señora. Mineral Resources are estimated at a 2.3% zinc equivalent cut-off grade at San Felipe. Mineral Resources are estimated at a 0.17g/tonne gold cut-off grade at Relief Canyon and are constrained by a $1,500 gold pseudoflow pit shell. Inferred Mineral Resources at Relief Canyon include existing low-grade stockpiles. Mineral Resources are estimated using metal prices of US$1,500 (US$1,500 in 2020) per ounce of gold, US$22.00 (US$20.00 in 2020) per ounce of silver, $3.50 (US$3.00 in 2020) per pound of copper, US$1.05 (US$1.05 in 2020) per pound of lead and US$1.25 (US$1.05 in 2020) per pound of zinc. Mineral Resources are reported exclusive of Mineral Reserves and as such the Mineral Resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. Numbers may not add or multiply accurately due to rounding.

Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is therefore no certainty that the conclusions of the initial exploration drilling results will be realized. Additionally, where the Company discusses exploration/expansion potential, any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a Mineral Resource.

Varying cut‐off grades have been used depending on the mine, methods of extraction and type of ore contained in the reserves.

OSC staff have indicated that the technical report titled "Mangazeisky Silver Project MRE Update and Strategy Re-Assessment, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Russian Federation" (the "Technical Report") filed on 30 March 2021 does not comply with certain technical requirements of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Products ("NI 43-101") and Form 43-101F1 Technical Report ("Form 43-101F1"). Specifically, OSC staff identified deficiencies in the Technical Report including the qualification of one Qualified Person and his responsibility for certain sections and items of the Technical Report, certain Form 43-101F1 content requirements, the requirement for a current personal inspection, and the inclusion of mineral inventory not categorized as a mineral resource. No issues were identified by OSC staff with respect to the disclosed Mineral Resources nor with the economic analysis of the Mangazeisky Silver Project.

As a result of the review, the Company will have prepared and will file an amended technical report addressing each of the concerns outlined by OSC staff (the "Amended Technical Report") by not later than October 29, 2021.
