Latest / Financial Survival Network / Silver Surge Re-Ignites Interest in Tier One Silver
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Other than finding close to nine thousand grounds for a
- 0:02Speaker 1: ton silver over four grams gold and channel samples, we
- 0:06Speaker 1: found the presence of arsenic and that's really important and
- 0:09Speaker 1: in gelogic that gives you the indication that the precious
- 0:11Speaker 1: metals now is below. So we feel like we have
- 0:14Speaker 1: this five hundred meters of elevation really trapped in where
- 0:17Speaker 1: we're going to find our top intercepts. So we're getting
- 0:20Speaker 1: really excited and to get back, get back the drill,
- 0:23Speaker 1: get it out, get this thing going again, because the
- 0:27Speaker 1: entire sector has been in hibernation mode and it's time
- 0:29Speaker 1: to go on the offensive. The Financial Survival Network now
- 0:36Speaker 1: more than network, the Financial Survival Network, and welcome. This
- 0:43Speaker 1: is Financial Survival Network.
- 0:45Speaker 2: I'm your host, Carrie Lutz, and we have an update
- 0:50Speaker 2: from a company that we used to work with pretty closely,
- 0:53Speaker 2: but we bumped into each other a while ago. Wanted
- 0:56Speaker 2: to get Peter Dumbickie on CEO of T one Silver
- 1:01Speaker 2: and Peter, it was great to see you go down
- 1:04Speaker 2: in Florida and figured it was time for an update,
- 1:07Speaker 2: even though we haven't done much together recently. I just
- 1:11Speaker 2: wanted to make sure that the FSN members who've some
- 1:16Speaker 2: of whom have invested in the company get the latest updates.
- 1:19Speaker 2: So you just had some really impressive channel samplings recently.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. Thanks Kerry for having me back. And
- 1:29Speaker 1: you know, for all of your loyal followers and supporters
- 1:32Speaker 1: of Tier one, it's important that you know we haven't
- 1:36Speaker 1: gone anywhere, even though the market has been less than
- 1:40Speaker 1: fun the last few years. You know, when capital gets
- 1:43Speaker 1: pulled out of these kind of venture markets and risk
- 1:46Speaker 1: gone goes away for a little bit, it gets tough,
- 1:50Speaker 1: and it's been an extremely humbling experience being CEO of
- 1:54Speaker 1: a company in this sector. But it feels like, you know,
- 1:58Speaker 1: there's a pulse. Things are coming back, and you know,
- 2:03Speaker 1: didn't think my phone was working at seventeen dollars. Silver,
- 2:07Speaker 1: you know, got a couple of calls incoming when it's
- 2:10Speaker 1: you know, twenty five twenty six April May was a
- 2:13Speaker 1: nice little bump. It felt like we were on the verge
- 2:17Speaker 1: of something there it cools off over the summer, but
- 2:19Speaker 1: here we go taking the next leg up. This one
- 2:22Speaker 1: feels different just because of the move that Gold is
- 2:25Speaker 1: put in. So it really feels like Silver is going
- 2:28Speaker 1: to start playing serious catch up here and we might
- 2:31Speaker 1: see that whipsaw higher in a big way. So Tier
- 2:34Speaker 1: one itself for those your newer listeners, we're you know,
- 2:39Speaker 1: an aggressive exploration company focused on finding the next world
- 2:43Speaker 1: class silver discovery based in Peru. We had a tremendous
- 2:47Speaker 1: first pass of drilling when we launched our program almost
- 2:51Speaker 1: three years ago and came out with plus kilos silver,
- 2:56Speaker 1: good grades of gold, and the potential for a big
- 2:58Speaker 1: copper orphrey discover as well. And then then the markets
- 3:03Speaker 1: you know, pulled out from under our feet and it
- 3:05Speaker 1: was it was survival mode, to be honest, but we've
- 3:09Speaker 1: gotten through it. We never changed the thing. It's one
- 3:11Speaker 1: hundred percent on project. We leaned out and now we're
- 3:15Speaker 1: back on the offensive. So really, for a reminder on
- 3:19Speaker 1: the project, we came out with extreme high grade early results.
- 3:24Speaker 1: But really we've hired these two world class consultants to
- 3:26Speaker 1: come down to our property and say, you know, give
- 3:29Speaker 1: us an unbiased view of what we got in our
- 3:30Speaker 1: hands here. They both came back and said, you know,
- 3:33Speaker 1: this is a story about elevation. It's a story about erosion.
- 3:36Speaker 1: You know, all of your top intersets came around nineteen
- 3:38Speaker 1: hundred meters and elevation. And again you ask any Peruvian
- 3:42Speaker 1: about that elevation, they call it beachfront because these guys
- 3:44Speaker 1: are used to operating at you know, five thousand meters
- 3:47Speaker 1: in elevation, so nineteen hundred meters about the same elevation
- 3:50Speaker 1: as Denver, Colorado. It's very accessible, close to the coast,
- 3:53Speaker 1: close to the highway, great terrain to work in. But
- 3:57Speaker 1: with our drill results, we were hitting very very shallow
- 3:59Speaker 1: but not depth. So where are we going to go
- 4:02Speaker 1: to find our kind of meteor intercepts that were really
- 4:05Speaker 1: going to put us on the map. And they said,
- 4:08Speaker 1: if you go north on your property to this Kimbai
- 4:10Speaker 1: acord or there's another five hundred meters of elevation that
- 4:14Speaker 1: you can attack that has not yet been eroded away.
- 4:17Speaker 1: So we ran up there. Over this past year, we
- 4:19Speaker 1: did lots of testing, mapping, channel sampling, rock chick sampling,
- 4:24Speaker 1: and just came back a couple of days ago with
- 4:26Speaker 1: our results, and you know, it really nailed the thesis.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Other than finding close to nine thousand grounds for a
- 4:33Speaker 1: ton silver over four grams gold and channel samples, we
- 4:37Speaker 1: found the presence of arsenic and that's really important in geology.
- 4:40Speaker 1: That gives you the indication that the precious metals now
- 4:43Speaker 1: is below So we feel like we have this five
- 4:46Speaker 1: hundred meters of elevation really trapped in where we're going
- 4:49Speaker 1: to find our top intercepts. So we're getting really excited
- 4:52Speaker 1: and to get back, get back the drill, get it out,
- 4:55Speaker 1: get this thing going again, because the entire sector has
- 4:59Speaker 1: been in hibernation moment. It's time to go on the offensive.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Right, So drilling when do you anticipate to the resumption? Yeah, so,
- 5:09Speaker 2: I mean, drilling is not cheap anywhere in the world,
- 5:13Speaker 2: and so we need to recapitalize before we bring out
- 5:16Speaker 2: the drill. But it's looking pretty good. So you'll be
- 5:19Speaker 2: hearing lots from us in the near future here. But
- 5:22Speaker 2: we really want to go attack this thing. We can
- 5:24Speaker 2: drill all year round at sight, so it's three weeks
- 5:28Speaker 2: heads up to all the contractors to get going. We're
- 5:31Speaker 2: fully permitted, drill permit, environmental foot permitted, Social Agreement was
- 5:37Speaker 2: just re signed, which is so important, especially in South America,
- 5:40Speaker 2: that you have that on lockdown.
- 5:42Speaker 1: So we're ready to go. So it's just gonna take
- 5:45Speaker 1: a little capital to get us going. And and we're
- 5:48Speaker 1: looking to do another thirty five hundred four thousand meters
- 5:52Speaker 1: of drilling to really go hunt for that big silver grade.
- 5:56Speaker 2: In the political situation in Peru, like other countries, actually
- 6:02Speaker 2: pretty favorable. I think it gets painted with the same
- 6:05Speaker 2: brush as other countries that have been restricting the mining,
- 6:09Speaker 2: but Peru seems to be encouraging it.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Oh carry, I mean if we I'm sure we had
- 6:14Speaker 1: a call, you know, two and a half years ago,
- 6:17Speaker 1: and we might not be taking the same thing. I
- 6:19Speaker 1: was telling, you know, investors to hold on, not to
- 6:21Speaker 1: worry because you read in the papers about you know,
- 6:23Speaker 1: turmoil in the streets, blockades of mines. But as my
- 6:29Speaker 1: Steam colleague and famous geologist Christian Rios, who's on the
- 6:32Speaker 1: ground in Peru, he's like, Peter, just wait a few weeks.
- 6:36Speaker 1: You know, these protests aren't grassroots, passionate protests. These things
- 6:41Speaker 1: have an agenda in mind, and it's politically based. It
- 6:45Speaker 1: involves Bolivia. There's a lots going on. Anytime a new
- 6:48Speaker 1: cabinet minister and a new president gets appointed, the ministry
- 6:52Speaker 1: of mind shifts and all new appointees come in. And
- 6:55Speaker 1: who doesn't like that story, and that's usually the illegal
- 6:58Speaker 1: miners in the country because it's usually job number one
- 7:00Speaker 1: of the president. You get rid of legal mining. So
- 7:02Speaker 1: who's funding these protests? And there's always somebody who benefits,
- 7:07Speaker 1: you know, anytime we see these kind of protests happening,
- 7:09Speaker 1: So you wait out a few weeks, people stop getting
- 7:12Speaker 1: paid to cause ruckus and things go back to normal.
- 7:14Speaker 1: And so for the past year and a half, it's
- 7:16Speaker 1: been extremely boring, which I love. I love boring politics,
- 7:20Speaker 1: and I know we're not used to boring politics and
- 7:22Speaker 1: in North America, but it's been really nice. So Dina Blarte,
- 7:26Speaker 1: the former vice president who's now vice or now president,
- 7:29Speaker 1: sitting president, very centrist, not making any big moves, which
- 7:33Speaker 1: is great. There is an election next year, but the
- 7:37Speaker 1: front runner is in place right now, are are centrist
- 7:40Speaker 1: or more right wing, So it's looking like through Pendulum
- 7:43Speaker 1: is kind of swinging back to the center after a
- 7:45Speaker 1: couple of tough years with the scary individual in place there. Yeah.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Well, politics in Latin America is often like the weather
- 7:52Speaker 2: in Florida. Wait if you don't like weather, wait five minutes.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Noll jitting. I'm I think I'm on my third Provian president.
- 8:00Speaker 1: And since I've been CEO of tier one and you're
- 8:03Speaker 1: exactly right. Just just wait a couple of years. Don't
- 8:05Speaker 1: get used to it. But you know, as one of
- 8:08Speaker 1: our bigger shareholders, Ross Betty and a famous investor and
- 8:12Speaker 1: has lots of operations in Latin America and especially in
- 8:14Speaker 1: Prue says, politics and Peru is a short term game.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Mining is a long term game. Don't sweat it. And
- 8:20Speaker 1: anytime you do see turmoil, you know, improve politically. Take
- 8:25Speaker 1: a look at the big producers, see what their share
- 8:27Speaker 1: prices are doing. And usually they don't budge. It's because
- 8:31Speaker 1: the real money knows that nothing really is going to
- 8:33Speaker 1: be done one way or the other. Yeah.
- 8:34Speaker 2: And when we last spoke, you mentioned seventeen dollars silver.
- 8:38Speaker 2: Now we had Silver hit thirty five books, which is
- 8:41Speaker 2: a key psychological mark. It broke resistance somewhere between thirty
- 8:46Speaker 2: two fifty thirty three point fifty and right now it's
- 8:50Speaker 2: thirty three books and change.
- 8:53Speaker 1: So this changes the economics of everything, doesn't It sure does. Man.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Psychology and investing plays a wicket game with you. You know,
- 9:02Speaker 1: my former background being an investment advisor, I know all
- 9:05Speaker 1: about it. You know, people won't want to dig into
- 9:08Speaker 1: a company that they really like or take that risk.
- 9:11Speaker 1: But once it moves up ten twenty thirty percent, then
- 9:14Speaker 1: they feel comfortable it's on the right track. But they
- 9:17Speaker 1: could have had a huge discount if they if they
- 9:19Speaker 1: came in earlier. But again that's the psychologics psychology of it.
- 9:24Speaker 1: But here we are, Silver's you know, making its move.
- 9:27Speaker 1: People are now taking a look around and saying, okay,
- 9:29Speaker 1: what's what's my top silver holding is going to be?
- 9:31Speaker 1: As far as a producer, a developer, and an exploration company,
- 9:36Speaker 1: I want grade, I want good jurisdiction. But most of them,
- 9:38Speaker 1: and foremost is I want good people. I want good
- 9:42Speaker 1: management that knows how to run a good company. And
- 9:44Speaker 1: that's where we really stand out. Yeah, totally, I couldn't
- 9:47Speaker 1: agree with you.
- 9:48Speaker 2: More.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Imagine if the price goes up another fifty percent, it's yeah,
- 9:54Speaker 1: I mean, there are so many arguments, and I'm sure
- 9:57Speaker 1: you and I have gone down the same rabbit holes
- 9:59Speaker 1: with all the big silver bugs out there saying, you know,
- 10:02Speaker 1: one hundred dollars silver or one thousand dollars silver. There's
- 10:05Speaker 1: reasonings for it, but as we know, nothing goes up
- 10:09Speaker 1: in a straight line. So we had a heck of
- 10:12Speaker 1: a run to get to thirty five. Let a cool,
- 10:15Speaker 1: let it settle a little bit, and let's take the
- 10:16Speaker 1: next leg up. It only helps company like us, you know,
- 10:20Speaker 1: even though we're exploration and we're not producing the metal.
- 10:23Speaker 1: There is a fantastic correlation to silver companies and the
- 10:27Speaker 1: price of silver. And again, people really want to find
- 10:31Speaker 1: their next silver investment. I just came from a conference
- 10:33Speaker 1: in New York City and silver is very, very topical.
- 10:38Speaker 1: As we've seen other sectors kind of peter at a
- 10:41Speaker 1: little bit, you know, lithium and copper's taking a bit
- 10:45Speaker 1: of a breather, but silver is on the front of
- 10:47Speaker 1: everybody's mind right now.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Eric Sprat's colling for three hundred dollars silver, like you
- 10:52Speaker 2: gap be a little off. But really, when you go
- 10:56Speaker 2: back and you see that gold is certainly nominal highs
- 11:00Speaker 2: in the mid twenty seven hundreds, silver hasn't even it's
- 11:06Speaker 2: just approaching it's sixty five percent of its all time high,
- 11:10Speaker 2: this seems like a dramatic misvaluation or underpricing by the
- 11:16Speaker 2: market for sure.
- 11:17Speaker 1: And you know, when you go through all your technical
- 11:21Speaker 1: skills and looking at where silver could go, so many
- 11:24Speaker 1: things come in mind. Interest rates, getting cut. Well, we're
- 11:27Speaker 1: going through that process right now. We should see more
- 11:30Speaker 1: cuts coming in the future. We have obviously a big
- 11:34Speaker 1: election coming up. How that sways things, I'm not sure.
- 11:37Speaker 1: We have a very very strong US dollar at the moment.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Depending on who gets into the White House, that could
- 11:45Speaker 1: change things dramatically. And all these things, you know, act
- 11:50Speaker 1: are perfectly correlated adversely to the price of silver, and
- 11:54Speaker 1: just the fact that silver has a lot of catch
- 11:56Speaker 1: up to play. We look at that gold silver ratio
- 11:58Speaker 1: over time, I forget what the mean is. I think
- 12:01Speaker 1: it's around sixty sixty to one. I think we're hovering
- 12:06Speaker 1: around eighty to one at this point, So a lot
- 12:08Speaker 1: of lot of room to go on Vario. You know,
- 12:11Speaker 1: many different metrics for silver to take another leg higher.
- 12:15Speaker 1: So I think we all know it's head in that direction. Yeah,
- 12:19Speaker 1: not a question, is never in doubt, and it's pretty
- 12:24Speaker 1: exciting to watch. But you know, the market moves when
- 12:28Speaker 1: the market moves, So in any event, you definitely want
- 12:32Speaker 1: to go over to the company's website sign up for notifications.
- 12:36Speaker 1: You can monitor the drill program once that resumes. It's
- 12:40Speaker 1: Tier one Silver dot Com ticker symbol us ts L
- 12:45Speaker 1: VF and of course in candidate ts l V Peter,
- 12:50Speaker 1: thanks for stopping by, appreciate the catchup. We'll talk to
- 12:54Speaker 1: you again soon. Thanks Kerry, the Financial Survival Network
