Aftermath Silver kicks off work program at Chilean project

British researchers analyzed a series of datasets from the London Bullion Market, installed solar energy capacity and solar gross electricity production between 1990 and 2016.

The property is a potential producer of copper, gold and molybdenum.

As proposed, the Blackwater gold project would produce 60,000 tonnes per day of gold and silver ore, over a mine life of 17 years. 

Licence would have allowed Hecla to pump groundwater to supply the proposed copper and silver mine beneath a Montana wilderness area.

The Canadian miner's second-largest investor, Waterton Global Resource Management, has filed a lawsuit against the base metals producer in a bid to constrain its ability to solicit proxies.

The miner maintains production guidance for 2019.

The miner is partnering with GoldSpot Discoveries to produce 2D and 3D targets for its upcoming exploration program.

This is the first time since 2015 that demand has risen year-over-year.

The company reported lower than expected full-year profit in February while warning of headwinds including lower precious metals prices for 2019.
