Would personally like to see them nail down a JV for EH with one of the local Aussie silver comps. Most likely to be another junior or mid tier when EH would sit well amongst their existing projects and where they could quickly add value.
> Silver Mines Ltd ASX: SVL
> Manuka Resources Ltd ASX: MKR
> Boab Metals Ltd ASX: BML
> Investigator Resources Ltd ASX: IVR
Silver mines would have the cash to move quickly, the others are in the region, Boab are fairly near to EH and investigator owns the Paris silver project, a potential 1-million-tonne-per-year mine, which the company says is the highest grade non-by-product undeveloped silver project in Australia.
Following an extensive infill drilling program in late 2020, an updated mineral resource estimate of 18.8Mt at 88g/t silver and 0.52% lead for 51.1Mozs and 97.6kt lead was reported in June 2021.
Anything over about 50g/t is generally considered high-grade when it comes to silver
Elizabeth Hill has thrown out some ultra high grade drill results in its history, far higher than IVR's Paris project.
IVR sits at around 85m market cap
EH requires lots of expansion drilling of the surrounding halo region to model up a increased JORC model and / or PFS/PEA.
They probably have a fair bit of data from previous drill campaigns that sits in the core sheds that as yet hasn't been amalgamated into any new block modelling, but could be used to incorporate into a new data set.
That would probably mean a drill campaign with a minimum spend of £4-5 million.
A JV with any of the above in return for £4m+ free carry and get the rigs back onto EH would be an exciting prospect given some of the previous drill results from EH rank up there with some of the highest grade silver intercepts reported in recent memory.
Not sure what the potential Target resource could reach with the Halo all mapped in. Possibly it would now inevitable also incorporate the much wider munni munni PGM's license into an potentially greatly enlarged combined resource.
