Episode Details

In this episode, we chat with Taj Singh, President and CEO of Discovery Silver, a junior miner that is looking to develop its flagship Cordero project in Chihuahua, Mexico. This is a high-margin primary silver mine that could turn into one of the largest primary silver mines in the world.

Taj has a background in metallurgy. He has over 20 years of experience in the mining sector in the areas of executive management, business development, capital markets, project development, engineering, and operations. Taj talks to us about Discovery Silver and how they are going to develop this world-class silver project.
