With Rio Tinto and Glencore talking about a merger they might be willing to sell the Hackett River Silver Strike to B2gold as we have a high royalty claim on any silver produced and they are mainly copper miners.
They are both close to each other,
"The Hackett River silver-zinc project is located approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) west of B2Gold's Goose Project (part of the Back River Gold District).
Both projects are situated in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut, Canada. The proximity is a result of their shared history; before B2Gold acquired the Back River assets, both properties were owned by Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. Sabina sold the Hackett River project to Xstrata (now Glencore) in 2011 to focus on developing the gold deposits at the Goose site.

I am picking up that silver is to become a Tier 1 asset later this year. With the Government getting ready to place a floor under the silver price later this year it might make a lot of sense. The floor would be the low price on an ounce of silver as it is now a strategic metal.
Not sure of the logistics if Goose could refine the silver or not or if it could be built out to do that.
I know they have a lot on their plate and wish list but if they could pick up the property at the right price it might be a very smart move even if developed down the road.
I only see silver going up in value and this is one of the largest silver deposits in the world.
