Interview with Ian Harris, CEO and President, Outcrop SilverOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/outcrop-silver-tsxvocg-leveraging-high-grade-silver-in-colombia-in-growing-global-demand-5930Recording date: 3rd of March, 2025Outcrop Silver is developing its flagship Santa Ana project in Colombia, positioned as one of the world's highest-grade primary silver projects. With 75% of its value derived from silver and exceptional recovery rates of 96-99% for both silver and gold, the project represents a rare opportunity for investors seeking pure silver exposure.The company has secured significant backing from prominent silver investor Eric Sprott, who holds a 19.9% stake—the maximum allowable before triggering takeover provisions. According to CEO Ian Harris, this makes Outcrop among Sprott's top five investments last year despite the company's relatively small size.For 2025, Outcrop has allocated an ambitious $12 million exploration budget to drill 24,000 meters using two drilling rigs. The company employs a systematic approach to target prioritization, analyzing factors such as grade, thickness, success rate, and strike length to calculate potential ounces and drilling costs. Their goal is to convert targets to resources at approximately 50 cents per ounce, well below their market valuation."The goal is to do it at around 50 cents... basically our cost to convert to resource, and our valuation is much higher than that number," Harris explained. "We are putting in a plan that securely will create more value for less money than we're spending."Harris emphasized the advantages of being a true primary silver project, which creates greater leverage to silver prices. He noted silver's potential for explosive price movements compared to other metals: "If I said do you believe that it's possible that silver could double in price this year, the argument would be yes. Is there a possibility of copper going two times this year? No."The company sees potential for industry consolidation among the small peer group of quality primary silver companies to improve capital access. Harris suggested combining companies with complementary attributes could be beneficial in the current capital-constrained environment.Outcrop operates within a unique silver market characterized by structural supply-demand imbalances. Primary silver mines represent less than 25% of global production, with the majority coming as byproducts from base metal operations. Meanwhile, industrial demand continues growing, with solar panel manufacturing accounting for approximately 25% of consumption.With Colombia's presidential election approaching in 14 months, the company is well-positioned to benefit from potential renewed interest in mining investment while advancing its high-grade project toward resource expansion.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/outcrop-silver-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Ian Harris, President & CEO of Outcrop Silver.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/top-silver-development-projects-offer-exposure-to-rising-industrial-demand-5453Recording date: 10th September 2024Outcrop Silver (TSXV:OCG) presents an intriguing opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the silver market through a high-grade exploration project. The company's flagship Santa Ana project in Colombia stands out as one of the highest-grade undeveloped silver projects globally, offering significant leverage to silver prices and substantial exploration upside.Santa Ana currently boasts a resource of 37 million ounces of silver equivalent, with 75% of its resource value in silver. This high silver content distinguishes Outcrop from many peers, positioning it as a relatively pure-play silver company. CEO Ian Harris emphasizes, "At 75% of the value, we're highly leveraged," highlighting the company's strong exposure to silver price movements.The company's primary strategy focuses on expanding its resource base through methodical exploration of multiple veins. This approach aims to de-risk exploration efforts by testing numerous targets to identify those likely to add the most ounces per meter drilled. Outcrop's goal is ambitious, with potential to double or even triple the current resource size.Beyond exploration, Outcrop is considering various development scenarios for Santa Ana. The project's high grade, coupled with favorable metallurgy, positions it well for potential future production. The company is exploring options ranging from larger-scale development to smaller pilot production, providing flexibility to adapt to market conditions.A key strength of Outcrop's approach is its focus on community relations. The company has made significant efforts to build positive relationships with local communities, which is crucial for the long-term success of mining projects. This strategy helps mitigate political and permitting risks, potentially smoothing the path to development.The broader silver market presents a compelling backdrop for Outcrop's efforts. Growing industrial demand, particularly from the renewable energy sector, is driving silver consumption. This demand growth, coupled with limited supply expansion in the silver mining industry, could lead to favorable pricing dynamics.For investors, Outcrop offers several attractive features: a high-grade resource with exploration upside, strong leverage to silver prices, development optionality, and a presence in an increasingly mining-friendly jurisdiction. The company's experienced management team, led by CEO Ian Harris who brings substantial mining experience in South America, further strengthens the investment case.As with any junior mining investment, risks remain. These include exploration uncertainty, future funding requirements that could lead to dilution, exposure to volatile metal prices, and potential political and regulatory challenges in Colombia.In conclusion, Outcrop Silver represents an interesting opportunity for investors bullish on silver and comfortable with the risk-reward profile of exploration-stage companies. The company's high-grade Santa Ana project, coupled with its methodical approach to resource expansion and consideration of various development scenarios, provides multiple avenues for potential value creation. As the global demand for silver continues to grow, companies with high-quality silver assets like Santa Ana may be well-positioned to benefit.View Outcrop Silver's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/outcrop-silver-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Ian Harris, President and CEO of Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSXV: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF), joins us to introduce the company, project, team, and financial metrics for this exploration company focused on expanding resources and derisking its flagship Santa Ana high-grade silver project in Colombia.   We start off discussing the Santa Ana Project and the 37 million silver equivalent ounces in place, and that the majority of metals endowment is primary silver with a gold co-credit, as opposed to many silver projects that are really more base-metals dominant.  Ian also outlines the derisking work through metallurgical testing that has shown fantastic recovery rates, and points out that they have the trifecta of high metals grades, good recovery rates, and good payables (without many smelter penalties).    The key focus this year into next will be showing meaningful growth of the resources at Santa Ana, with the goal to double, and eventually triple the resources in place, before moving into economic studies. The company will be averaging 2,000 meters in drilling per month through the end of the year.   In addition to all the exploration and development work going on at the project, the team behind Outcrop Silver also has a commitment to responsible mining practices and community engagement, underscoring their approach to sustainable development. Ian highlights the strength of the management team and board, and points out that their expertise in navigating complex geological and market conditions enabling them to consistently identify and capitalize on opportunities to enhance shareholder value. With a deep understanding of the Colombian mining landscape and a track record of successful exploration, Outcrop Silver is poised to transform the Santa Ana project into a significant silver producer, contributing positively to the local economy.   If you have any questions for Ian regarding Outcrop Silver & Gold, then please email them in to us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Outcrop Silver

Interview with Ian Harris, President & CEO of Outcrop Siver&Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/outcrop-silver-gold-tsxvocg-unlocking-high-grade-silver-potential-4692Recording date: 3rd March 2024Outcrop Silver & Gold (TSXV:OCG) is advancing one of the highest-grade undeveloped silver projects globally with its flagship Santa Ana asset in Colombia. With 37 million silver equivalent ounces grading over 600 g/t in the current resource, Santa Ana is a true silver play, deriving 75% of its value from the metal.The company is taking an innovative, multi-pronged approach to creating shareholder value. First, aggressive exploration aims to multiply the resource from the current 37 Moz to over 100 Moz silver euivalent. Secondly, Outcrop is looking to develop a small-scale pilot mine to demonstrate the economic and technical viability of the asset while maintaining its exploration upside in the market.CEO Ian Harris emphasized that the exceptionally high-grade nature of Santa Ana, along with the excellent metallurgy, de-links the project from scale and doesn't require that economy of scale to be able to have the margin. Simple flotation recovers over 93% of the silver into a high-grade concentrate, which can be directly smelted to produce saleable silver doré bars without the need for cyanide. This gives Outcrop multiple options to maximize payability.Colombia is shaping up to be an attractive mining jurisdiction with a government eager to encourage development of silver and critical metals projects to diversify from oil and coal. Outcrop's key is strong engagement with local communities, which the pilot mine would foster through training and capacity building.While the current tough market conditions are challenging for junior miners, Outcrop sees a big picture opportunity in silver as solar, EVs, and electrification are expected to be major demand drivers while ongoing economic uncertainty supports silver's safe haven status.In summary, Outcrop Silver & Gold offers investors compelling exposure to a high-grade silver asset being advanced by a highly experienced management team. The company is well-positioned to create value through a hybrid approach of resource expansion and de-risking through a pilot mine. With 75% of the resource value in silver, Outcrop is highly leveraged to a rising silver price environment that appears likely in the coming years based on the macro fundamentals.View Outcrop Silver & Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/outcrop-silver-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Ian Harris, President & CEO of Outcrop Silver & Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/outcrop-silver-gold-tsxvocg-step-out-drilling-on-ag-au-veins-in-colombia-3281Recording date: 8th December 2023Outcrop Positioned to Unlock World-Class Silver PotentialOutcrop Silver & Gold stewards a uniquely prospective silver asset in Colombia with newly appointed CEO Ian Harris at the helm boasting pertinent technical and regional expertise to rapidly advance the project. Santana contains 37 million ounces of high-grade silver resources open to immense expansion potential through further drilling of identified mineralized structures.Bonanza Grades ConfirmedExceptionally high silver grades position Santana as a global top-tier deposit. The sulfide-hosted mineralization facilitates excellent recoveries, with direct smelting capable of achieving up to 98% versus only 75% from comparable complex concentrates. The sheer magnitude of silver endowment per tonne constitutes commanding project leverage to any uplift in prevailing silver prices.Resource Growth ImminentWith efficacious veins consistently evidenced across Santana's footprint, the company has currently defined 21 priority drill targets to systematically upgrade and expand resources beyond the present basis of 7 quantified veins. Despite temporary drilling delays in appointing a new contractor, Outcrop maintains a focused regimen calibrating future growth milestones en route to a 100 million-ounce aggregate resource target crucial to fortifying Santana's world-class project status.Compelling Economic ParametersIn parallel with envisaged resource scaling, Outcrop has directed scoping efforts toward a relatively modest pilot plant operational at 50 tonnes per day, capable of demonstrating robust economics even at such diminutive throughput. The venture requires only circa $750,000 in capital expenditure while being able to furnish positive cash flow offsetting approximately 80% of ongoing exploration activity. This establishes a pathway toward de-risking and market re-rating grounded in the tangible creation of value.Silver Market Primed for ResurgenceWhile prevailing precious metals investment sentiment remains tepid, silver fundamentals appear increasingly positive looking out into 2024. The time may prove opportune for allocating exposure to highly responsive silver vehicles. In Outcrop's case, the sheer magnitude of prospective metal at Santana commands superior leverage to any pricing gains in an ascending cycle. The stock consequently warrants consideration among selective junior developer equivalents that offer pronounced sensitivity to silver values.World-Class Pathway ForwardOutcrop Silver & Gold holds dominion over a potentially transcendent silver orebody. The essential parameters of grade, scale, metallurgy and economics are evidenced to world-leading standards. Near-term goals now concentrate on resource upgrading and materially expanding contingencies. Deft project financing design may layer on modest production to realize material value creation. When silver market tailwinds regain strength, Santana is primed to emerge as one of the global top-tier silver development stories, with Outcrop potentially graduating to headline producer status. The current market discounting of assets in this class could pose a pronounced value proposition for investors with appropriate time horizons.—View Outcrop Silver & Gold company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/outcrop-silver-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
