Dig Deep The Hunt For Precious Metals – with Michael Konnert
In this episode we chat to Michael Konnert, Founder, President/CEO of Vizsla Resources Corp who are a publicly-listed mineral exploration company engaged in the discovery, development and acquisition of precious and base metal assets in safe jurisdictions.
We chat about how Vizsla Resources started and developed, and how their Panuco Silver-Gold project in Mexico is developing. We discuss also why is now a good time to buy precious metals stocks.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Mining and exploration are very hands-on processes, and it’s important to be a part of every aspect. But it’s equally important to have a team you can trust to do the job well, and to let those around you do the jobs that they’re best at.
- The average grade in Mexico is between 300-400 grams per ton. Vizsla is fortunate in that their explorations so far have netted them grades between 400 and 4000 grams per ton.
- COVID-19 has meant a halt to operations in Mexico, so as to comply with governmental regulations. This has meant a huge challenge in terms of time, as the contract there is only for two years.
- Part of Vizsla’s success has come from exploring regions that other companies have been wary of due to security concerns. But with the right attitude and outlook, these security concerns can be overcome.
- Quantitative easing around the world means that now is an incredible time to be taking advantage of governmental investment in mining
