At current silver prices (~US$30), the expected annual revenue for the first phase is approximately $1,050,000, accounting for 1.3% of total revenues. Essentially, as long as we hold the shares in SCRI, we will remain exposed to any increases in the price of silver,” concluded Ross Orr, President and CEO of BacTech.

BacTech anticipates gold production ranging between 31,000 and 35,000 ounces per annum, along with silver production ranging between 45,000 and 50,000 ounces from the project’s first phase. The second phase, expected to increase throughput fourfold, will significantly boost the production of both metals.

BacTech continues to work with interested parties to finance the construction of the plant. All of the necessary permits have been issued including the Environmental Impact Study and the Consultation permit. Construction time is estimated to be 12-14 months from receipt of the funding.
