In this episode of The Hole Truth, we dive into the remarkable journey of Andean Silver over the past 12 months. CEO Tim Laneyrie reflects on the company’s rapid growth following the acquisition of the Cerro Bayo Silver-Gold Project in Chile. With resource estimates skyrocketing from 25 million to 91 million ounces of silver equivalent, Tim explains how the team has leveraged historical data, ramped up exploration efforts, and positioned the company for further inventory growth.
Tim tells how Andean’s strategic drilling campaigns at key targets such as Pegaso 7 and Cristal are set to drive significant news flow and resource updates in the coming year. With the silver price forecast to increase on the back of rising demand from the renewable energy sectors, Tim shares why Andean is attracting attention from major players and investors alike.
