Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.

(“Teras” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:TRA) Teras is pleased to announce that the Company has engaged Harris Exploration to drill approximately 100 holes totalling over 20,000 meters on its Cahuilla project in Imperial County, California. The Cahuilla Project is a large epithermal, paleo-hot springs system hosting multiple high grade veins that occur within an extensive body of disseminated gold-silver mineralization.
