The Prospector News, Michael Fox is joined by Robert MacDonald, Vice President of Exploration for Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSX-V:SSV) (OTCQX:SSVFF). We discuss the recent findings of the company’s PEA on the Cerro Lss Minitas project in Durango State Mexico. The project boasts a preliminary 17-year life of Mine with a payback period of 48 months on the base case. The Internal rate of return after taxes is 21.2% the current prices for metals are well above the base case making this project even more attractive.
The Mine plan is for a large-scale underground mine with a capex of $565 Million. This will keep the project out of permitting purgatory with Mexico possibly moving to stop permitting new open pit mines. The new mining regulations have a focus on water and Rob outlines how the company plans to minimize water use and recycle the water that is used. Future plans include de-risking the project further and doing more exploration to increase the mineral resources further before undertaking a pre-feasibility study.
