* we're negotiating to get a piece of one of the largest Silver mines in the world: Cerro Rico in Bolivia.
* we've got a CEO with a Bolivian background.
* we're still under a penny and a half a share.
* the Silver market is a very small market... it's much smaller than the Gold market... so when money moves into the Silver sector, there's only a very comparatively small number of companies that money can flow into.
The lead and silver Karachipamppaa facility in Potosí is a large Processing Plant.
Constructed by a Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) company.
The plant's gross capacity is 51,000 tons of concentrate a year.
Silver, zinc, lead, bismuth, and other minerals are all found within the large tin reserves of strategic minerals.
Because of the common mixture of the Silver ores, lead, zinc, tin mining frequently encompassed the mining of other minerals as well as bismuth and antimony, strategic minerals, ex. used in flameproofing compounds and semiconductors, and exported in concentrates, trioxides, and alloys to all regions of the world.
Three centuries after being the world's largest producer of silver, still produced 225 tons of silver in 1988, as compared with about 140 tons in 1987.
Zinc reserves were large, 530,000 tons, and the expansion of zinc production enjoyed growing government support.
Zinc output also rose in the late 1980s from roughly 39,000 tons in 1987 to over 53,000 tons in 1988, compared with 47,000 tons in 1975.
Nearly all zinc was exported.
Although the authorities considered lead a minor metal, production increased from 9,000 tons in 1987 to 11,000 tons in 1988.
Bismuth reserves were estimated at 4,100 tons, and production in 1987 reached two-thirds of a ton entirely by small miners.
The site of the International Bismuth Institute, was once the sole producer of bismuth in the world.
Most important is that a facility and Processing Plant - be managed by skillful knowledgeable managers to make designed efficint production -
