Veteran Trader Peter Brandt Asks Macro Guru If Bitcoin Bull Has Finally Awoken From Deep Slumber

Coeur Mining, Inc. (NYSE:CDE) announced strong results from its Silvertip polymetallic exploration project in northern British Columbia, placing the area as one of the highest-grade undeveloped carbonate replacement deposits globally.

The exploration focused on the Southern Silver Zone, with approximately 90,000 feet (28,000 meters) of drilling completed through 2023.

President and CEO Mitchell J. Krebs noted that this exploration achieved the key goal of expanding the resource base adjacent to the main Silvertip deposit and existing underground infrastructure.

“This success continues to support the growing potential of Silvertip as an emerging tier one asset and future cornerstone for the Company, containing some of the highest grades of silver, zinc and lead of any global carbonate replacement deposit in addition to a potentially meaningful complement of critical minerals,” he said.

Aoife McGrath, Senior Vice President of Exploration, highlighted that the resource growth in the past six years validates the project’s potential but emphasized the belief that the most significant and lucrative…
