In this episode, we chat to David Stein, CEO of Kuya Silver who is developing first-class, high-margin sustainable silver mining operations in Peru. They are focused on growth and cash flow with a focus on low-cost silver operations in mining-friendly jurisdictions

David has a background in geology and engineering and founded Kuya Silver back in 2017 so he talks about their flagship project Bethania and their newly acquired silver project in Northern Ontario.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Bethania, Peru was in operation until 2016 and Kuya is due to start production again by the end of 2022.
• Most of the veins at Bethania have been made bigger and new veins have been discovered nearby.
• The Ontario acquisition is the first step in becoming a multi-mine producer.
• It is a silver cobalt operation with good grades.
• Going public is a lot of extra work, but it has made raising capital far easier.
• Their recent acquisitions have greatly strengthened the company.

 

BEST MOMENTS
