Billionaires Buy a Silver Stock, a CEO Gets Fired, and We Go to a Conference | Junior Mining Talks
Junior Mining Talks is a new show that (we hope) will be published every week. In every episode, you can find a weekly overview of the most interesting and important news in the junior mining market. I'll do this with Luc ten Have from @GoldDiscovery1 , along with a relevant guest.
Luc has been a resource investor for over 10 years now. He developed a tool for junior mining stocks at www.golddiscovery.com to make his life easier in his due diligence analysis.
In this episode of Junior Mining Talks, we delve into the purchase of a silver stock by billionaires, discuss the dismissal of a CEO, and attend a conference.
We had a conversation with David Finchman, the CEO of Highlander Silver, regarding their strategic financing provided by industry giants such as the Lundins, Eric Sprott, and Richard Warke.
