What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?
Funding and exploration risks are typically the most important for a junior exploration company. These risks are generally mitigated to the extent that we’ve made a significant discovery in Ireland and the fact we have strong shareholders – namely Michael Gentile and Glencore. Macro outlook for zinc has also significantly improved this year.
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
We have made the most significant discovery in Ireland over the last decade or so. Ballywire is a relatively new (two-year old) discovery, now with a strike of 2.6km and 36 drill holes (all mineralized). Typical grades and thicknesses are 10m of 10% Zn+Pb and 50-100 g/t Ag. Interestingly, we also have elevated germanium (Ge) which is a high-tech metal using in AI and military chips. The price of Ge has doubled over the last few months on the back of a chip war between China and the US, leading to the metal being worth nearly 3x that of silver.
Ballywire is only 20km away from a major yet-undeveloped zinc deposit (Glencore’s Pallas Green deposit – 45mt of 8.4% Zn+Pb), notionally adding potential synergies and lowering the thresholds for breakeven economics in future.
Ireland has a 60 year modern mining industry which boasts excellent infrastructure, proximity to European smelters, typically high grades and clean concentrates and a growing wind energy component – making Ireland well positioned to have some of the ‘greenest’ zinc in the world.
What are the top 3 key investor takeaways?
• Major Discovery Underway
• Glencore and Michael Gentile as top two shareholders
• Synergies with Nearby Deposit and Infrastructure
