Volcanic Gold Mines – Maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 406,316 oz at 9.57 g/t gold equivalent for the Holly Project
Simon Ridgway, President and CEO of Volcanic Gold Mines (TSX.V:VG – OTC:VLMZF), joins us to outline the key takeaways from the news out yesterday on June 9th, that announced a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 406,316 oz at 9.57 g/t gold equivalent for the Holly Project, in Guatemala. Resources were estimated using a 3.0 g/t Gold equivalent cut-off grade and a top cap grade of 100 g/t Gold and 2,000 g/t Silver and presented on a 100%-basis, and based on the 30 drill holes released after the Phase 1 exploration program
Simon is still very constructive on how things are developing at Holly Project and believes putting out this inferred Resource Estimate will show the community, all stakeholders, and investors how robust the project is with a robust mix of both gold and silver mineralization. Another positive is that a mill is not needed with 2 nearby projects that will have mills in operations, and that they are far above the water table and will not need much surface disturbance as it will be a high-grade underground mining scenario.
We wrap up by also reviewing that there are 3 more additional Projects under option and review from Radius mining, in addition to the Banderas Project where work on the social licensing, land permits, and ground work is still underway by the Volcanic Gold team. Simon is constructive that they’ll get things negotiated soon with Radius and the local stakeholders to get those concessions granted in the near future.

Even most of the Silver explorers and developers sprung higher on the day.

I have one near the top of this list and one at the bottom. When a company has a chance to shine but doesn’t it’s natural to question why, so went looking for an answer. The only thing I could find was the following two year old title.
Mexico Loses Competitiveness as a Mining Jurisdiction
Is this it? The bottom two on your silver producer list are Mexico focused while the others are more spread out.
It’s an interesting question on days like this where most of the stocks are in the green why some really move with torque and others languish. I’ve got a few dozen on these lists posted, with a handful of double-digit gainers, a lot in the middle of the pack, but some that were in the low single digits or even the red on the day. Overall my account was up 4.7% on the day, so I’ll take it to end the week on a brighter note.
As for Impact Silver being at the bottom of the list of the silver producers, it doesn’t particularly concern me, as after following and trading them for years, I know they typically outperform, so today was an anomaly in that sense. I’m also not concerned about where they are operating in Mexico, as they have pretty good local community relations. Many of the other silver producers have some exposure to Mexico, because that’s where a lot of silver is on the planet. I still like Mexico far better than Chile or Peru or Argentina for jurisdictional risks, but it does depend and come down to the state and local level.
