Episode 147: Silver miners need much higher prices, ft. Americas Silver CEO Darren Blasutti

In this episode, acting editor-in-chief Trish Saywell interviews Americas Silver CEO Darren Blasutti on macroeconomics, silver prices and the economic challenges of silver miners. Blasutti says many silver companies will need much higher prices before they can enjoy the financial benefits because of an excess of high-grading at low prices. He also discusses developments at the company's Relief Canyon gold project in Nevada. Topics include: 2019 as the worst year in a decade for raising equity; whether consolidation is needed in the mid-tier gold mining space; the need for self-funding models; and the importance of listening to shareholders.
