Update from the CEO

Hello Investors - May 2024

May 2024

May 28, 2024

Hi everyone:

Well what an exciting month…silver now staying steadily above $31 and trading at $31.25 today and gold at over $2,340. Who would have ever seen this happening!! But yet these high commodity prices are not translating any value in the share prices of most micro-cap/nano-cap companies like CMC. Eventually one can expect that the value will translate down. To remain positive, many of us who have been in this sector for more than 30 years generally agree that it is only a matter of time when the current record level commodity prices will translate into improvements in share price. Obviously one can never definitively note what will happen in the market but let’s hope that happens soon.

This is a brief update…

This morning I announced our plans to investigate the use of Dense Media Separation (DMS) and ore sorting technologies for the Silver Hart Project.

What is the significance of this?

Silver Hart is characterized by high grade silver-lead-zinc veins that start at surface and extend to typically 75-100 meters in depth. These deposits may be amenable to small scale open pit mining but any conclusion on that will require considerable further investigations including engineering, metallurgy, environmental and resource definition.

The likely mill for processing any material that could potentially be mined at Silver Hart would be at Couer’s Silvertip project which will likely get expanded and reopen in 2027-28. The actual date of when they will reopen that mill is yet to be established by Coeur Mining Inc. 

By increasing the value of material in a truck, one may be able to generate a viable operation that could transport from Silver Hart to Silvertip for processing, a distance of approximately 100 kilometers. Capital costs although not yet defined, may not be that significant as the processing and marketing would be the responsibility of a third party and so costs would be limited to an ore sorter, mining equipment, camp upgrades, road upgrades etc,. This is stage 1 in developing a possible business plan for a seasonal small scale mining project at Silver Hart. Permitting would require additional environmental and engineering studies to be completed at site for the development of a mine permit application. Obviously, a lot of things to be considered and at this stage a possible project that is merely at conceptual stage. The key current question is can material upgrades from DMS/Ore sorting generate a significant enough increase in value to support the possible the viability of a seasonal, small scale open pit mining project at Silver Hart….we hope to get an answer to the question through our planned studies.

The mineralization at Silver Hart is very dense so it is a good candidate for DMS or sorting technology. So we are currently developing a conceptual business plan for this project and we hope to seek a partnership arrangement with First Nations to help advance the project. A lot of work is to be done and of course this is all forward thinking and information that should not be relied upon for investment purposes. However, the main point from all of this is CMC is working hard to examine all options to advance Silver Hart and this initiative presents some interesting possibilities.

On other matters, discussions are ongoing relating to a possible agreement on the Siverknife project.

We still have an Active financing…Why invest in CMC?…Closing SOON!

  • We have a solid portfolio of projects with significant exploration upside - our Silverknife project is immediately adjacent to one of the world’s highest-grade silver-lead-zinc CRD deposits  at Silvertip Mine owned by Coeur Mining Inc.
  • The area proximal to our Silverknife project is going to be subjected to a very significant exploration play for silver deposits according to information releases by Coeur Mining Inc.
  • We have well defined targets at Silverknife with interest being expressed by other companies on possible involvement in the project, with plans to better define the current targets and start to evaluate them through an extensive drill program
  • We now have considerable experience in searching for CRD deposits
  • We are well positioned in the Rancheria Silver District in other plays than Silverknife - Amy and Silver Hart properties have significant exploration upside
  • According to industry analysts, the outlook for increases in future demand for silver as an industrial commodity are excellent
  • Our overhead costs are some of the lowest in the industry…that way we maximize monies raised to go “into the ground”
  • Stock volumes are high averaging over 575,000 shares per day in the last 60 days
  • At 4 cents flow through and 3.5 cents non flow through we are priced for good potential returns considering a current valuation by Fundamental Research Corp. at $0.12
