Previous drilling in the new exploration permits has intercepted extensive mineralization, such as drill hole ZK-H17-0012 from the HPG mine which intercepted a 1.42 metre ("m") interval from 784.85 m to 786.27 m downhole grading 263 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") and 335 g/t silver ("Ag") at approximately minus 82 m elevation, and a 1.24 m interval grading 9.65 g/t Au, 286 g/t Ag, 4.30% lead ("Pb"), and 2.19% zinc ("Zn") at minus 34 m elevation - please see the Company's news release dated February 19, 2014 for further details.  Recent re-logging and re-sampling surrounding the 1.42 m interval yielded a 5.02 m interval grading 75.9 g/t Au and 98 g/t Ag, approximately 400 m below the HPG Mining Permit.  These new exploration permits have no depth limitation.

 

  Negotiations to Renew Mining Contracts at the Ying Mines

Top 5 Canadian Silver Stocks of 2025

Silver prices surged during the second quarter of 2025, surpassing the US$37 per ounce mark and reaching their highest levels in 14 years.

The price movements stem from a tightening supply and demand situation, which has seen above-ground inventories squeezed due to an increasing need from industrial sectors, particularly the growing photovoltaics industry.

However, demand has also increased due to heightened investor interest in alternative safe-haven assets, as gold prices reached record highs. The shifting sentiment comes amid uncertainty over a US trade policy that could reduce the world's gross domestic product by 1 percent.

Editor's Picks: Silver Price Hits 13 Year High, Gold Takes a Breather

Gold was on the decline this week, closing just below US$3,370 per ounce, after tensions in the Middle East pushed it past the US$3,430 level toward the end of last week.

All eyes were on the US Federal Reserve, which in a widely expected move left interest rates unchanged on Wednesday (June 18) following its two day meeting. The central bank cut rates in December 2024, but has kept them steady for its last four gatherings.

US President Donald Trump wasn't pleased, calling Powell "too late" in a Thursday (June 19) post on Truth Social. While speculation that Trump will fire Powell has died down, the president did recently say he intends to announce his next pick for the Fed leader position "very soon."
