In this episode, we chat with a returning guest Michael Konnert (Episode 78 back in May 2020). He is the CEO and Founder of Vizsla Silver Corp, a junior mining company, exploring, developing, and acquiring precious and base metal assets in Mexico.
Michael is the young entrepreneur at the helm of Vizsla Silver where he has achieved a lot in a short space of time. In this episode, he discusses the exciting things that have happened over the last 12-14 months. As well as sharing details of Vizsla Copper, a spin-out company that they have recently formed.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Over the last 20 months Vizsla has made several significant silver discoveries.
- They have raised over $110 million for the company.
- Vizsla turned CoVid into an opportunity by using the pause to drill deeper into where they would explore next.
- The CoVid crisis has helped to make them even more nimble.
- Treating the community as owners and giving them options is something Vizsla believes in doing.
- Shareholders of Vizsla Silver will become shareholders of Vizsla Copper. As they will if the highly promising Beasley copper project comes to fruition.
- Inflation is going to be good for metals.
- Silver is a very tight market. Demand does not need to go up much for the price to soar.
- Most green projects rely heavily on electrification and the building of new infrastructure so there will be huge demand for metals.
BEST MOMENTS
