Additionally, we are eager to cultivate a partnership with an operator that utilizes environmentally sensitive methods for precious metals extraction and seeks an innovative approach to further unlock value."

Ross Orr, BacTech's President and Chief Executive Officer, added: "We are happy to be working with Silver Crown. Many of the projects that we are looking at contain complimentary amounts of silver, and, as a shareholder in SCRi, it only makes sense for them to be our first call with any future silver ounces we acquire. We look forward to developing a long-standing mutual relationship with Silver Crown."
