To get this board back on track in discussing genuine Bayhorse DD, I'd like to resurrect an underrated wanderer9641 post from a few years ago.
"A side by side comparison of El Cubo and the Bayhorse Mine is startling. El Cubo averages 2.2 million ounces per annum, with 350 employees and 200 contractors, as against Bayhorse, with 10 miners (2 - 5 person shifts) and a projected 1 million ounces per annum. Why is this not noticed?"
As many people here will be aware, El Cubo was recently acquired by Vangold/Guanajuato Silver, another small-cap near-term silver producer. Because of this acquisition, Guanajuato is currently rated by the market at $92 million, while we are now down at only $26 million. Clearly there is a great discrepency there to be taken advantage of by those who are looking for a bargain. Yes, Guanajuato has the moonshot-potential of finding the Veta Madre at El Pinguico, but we have our own moonshot-potential in the unexplored back of the hill at the Bayhorse Mine (which might be one of the biggest silver mines ever) as well as at Brandywine.
People rarely consider that an AISC will scale considerably as the price of silver goes up. Why? Because as the price of silver goes up in an inflationary environment, wages will have to go up also. All those 550 people who operate El Cubo will have to get paid more as the price of living soars. If you have a low-grade project (like El Cubo, where the pure silver is only a few oz/t) you will always be hindered in leverage. The ultra-high grade of Bayhorse is therefore an immense advantage.
Another interesting comparison is that Guanajuato recently published some bad assays, just like Bayhorse. The headline result was only 0.90m of 953 gpt AgEq. This should be a reminder to people that every company runs into bad assays in the course of drilling, even those with the most promising kind of properties (which El Pinguico clearly is).

"If what you want is “instant gratification” then investment in junior mining is not for you. The only exploration company that never had a “duster” in its drill programme was Bre-X and that was a scam. Natural systems have more barren or subeconomic assays, even in the vicinity of high grades, than anything else. It is a fact of life."
