As a footnote to my last post, the CEO of Vizsla Silver mentioned that quality milling infrastructure in Mexico costs about $150 million US to build. They have a well advanced project with apparently some real aspirations of becoming a miner, but not today! They want to explore some more to better determine the size of the mill that they may need to build.
Since Vizsla's 100% owned Panuco property is just next door to KTN's Columba project, then it might make better sense for both companies, to work together on a silver mining project!
https://youtu.be/oGzWOfjmbZs I believe that this is the future for both companies. How they might combine their resources and efforts would be up to them. Explorers need to find the best way to monetize their assets or they will disappoint their shareholders.
The matter of scale in terms of building an appropriately sized mill, might be more easily determined earlier, if more than one massive project, is included in any preliminary PEA.
At Columba, just like Vizsla Silver in Sinaloa Mexico, KTN has very thick and high grade drilling intercepts.
KG of Ag per tonne is a powerful draw when investors, again become enthused about silver, as they regularly do.
Everyone, would like to see the price, rise faster!
An explorer may be able to sell a quality project, but the waiting for this option, sometimes seems to take forever!
I hope that KTN management is actively pursuing, such an option.
They still have time!
All the best! Java
