Hi Troubleatmills. The only reason why Arian Silver didn't make a profit was due to silver being in a bear market.
They did all the drilling at their San Jose mine in Mexico but since the price of silver was low, they couldn't get a JV partner.
They then decided to develop the mine themselves and produce themselves and hoped buy the time they come to sell the silver, the price will have moved up.
They got a loan from Quintana to develop the mine.
However, when they came to production in 2015, the price of silver was $14 and their production cost was also about $14.
They then had to forfeit the mine to Quintana.
Silver, Copper, Gold and Iron Ore are all in a bull market and thus all of our high-grade projects are now economically viable projects.
The larger players are making huge profits which they will need to invest into future production.
There will be a frenzy of M&A activity this year.
UFO is very well placed to benefit from this.
