⛏️ #5 · Silver Hits 1,470 Grams a Tonne, and Oil Gives Back a Full War Premium
Friday, July 24 · 27 opens + views
Defiance Silver assayed a jaw-dropping 1,470 grams per tonne silver at San Acacio in its Zacatecas district play, a number that works out to roughly 47 troy ounces packed into a single tonne of rock.
Oil gave back most of its war premium as China pushed for new US-Iran talks, and Ovintiv cashed out of its Anadarko assets to fund a bigger buyback.
That's the week.
Keep your grades high and your dilution low, and we'll see you Monday. 🦍
