Our Analysis
Its pre-tax NPV is roughly in line with the company's market capitalisation (roughly 0.6x, on a currency-adjusted basis) — broadly consistent with how the market currently values the company. Initial capital runs to about 10% of project NPV, making it capital-light; funding that build is the central execution risk. The project is located in Mexico, a factor in its overall risk profile. For context, silver currently trades around $60.30/oz.
Our take, benchmarked against the project economics in the Mining Stocks database. Figures are estimates drawn from company technical reports — not investment advice; always verify against the source filing.
