Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSX-V:TUF) (OTCQB:HBEIF) is pleased to announce that it has incorporated a new subsidiary called Honey Badger Silver Royalty Inc. The Company will grant HBSR a 2% net smelter return royalty on silver production from Honey Badger’s current portfolio of mineral projects. Honey Badger shareholders will own 100% of HBSR through their ownership of Honey Badger shares.
Honey Badger’s CEO, Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol, commented, “We expect HBSR to surface shareholder value by highlighting the company’s inherent silver royalty holdings. Our goal is to create a compelling silver investment vehicle for what we believe will be the biggest bull silver market in history. Honey Badger continues to aggressively evaluate many silver mineral assets. Over the past few years, we have selectively acquired 7 silver-rich mineral projects in sound political jurisdictions – all in Canada at present. Our ultimate objective is to hold cash-flowing silver royalties and streams plus a substantial inventory of silver ounces in mineral deposits. This business model is innovative and unique to our knowledge.”
