What is your rationale for taking part 121 Mining Investment?
121 Mining is known for bringing quality investors to the table. We are looking for long term partners that will help us grow. We are currently ramping up to commercial production. Just like many pre-commercial production stories, we are undervalued and we have key catalysts upcoming that will cause re-valuation: commercial production/increased TPD, PEA (2500 tpd) and expeditiously adding resources.
As M&A is part of our growth strategy, we are also looking to connect with institutions who may be interested in partnering with us as a strategic investor- partner in co-acquisition funding.

What are your key goals in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months?
3 Months:
Deliver sustained production increase while advancing the exploration of our assets. Reach 2Moz AgEq produced in 2022. Submit PEA.
6 Months:
Activate 2nd project in the district (Plata project) to begin exploration and development through 2023
Submit ESIA to expand processing capacity
12 Months:
Confirm consolidation of operation, solid recognition in the market, and achieve relevant M&A. Potentially spin off Bolivian gold asset. Production from Plata Mining Unit.
What do you see as the key risks and challenges facing your company at the moment and how are you overcoming these?
Pre-commercial Production:
Ramping up to commercial production is a challenging period for all mining projects in the typical Life Cycle of a Mine. During this period, assets tend to be undervalued; Silver X is no different. Silver is on track to deliver key milestones that are key catalysts for re-valuation such as: Commercial Production and PEA – Q4 2022.
Geo-political challenges:
Of late, Latin America leftist governments have caused revaluation of many mining assets.
Some of the perceived risks are real and some are exaggerated. Peru’s government is a minority government. It has been more than 12 months since the change in government; small and mid size mines have not been affected by any regulation changes.
In fact, companies that are in production with operating mines do not need additional permits for exploration. Adding resources in an underground mine such as Silver X can be more cost effective then exploration drilling at other competitive greenfield projects that have exploration permit challenges.
What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?
Current pre commercial production, reaching commercial production shortly, and EIA expanding processing capacity to 2500tpd.
Paul Matysek, Lead Advisor and one of the key shareholders, and other members from the leadership team have proven track record of exit strategy skills with over $3B in value creation.
Silver X is undervalued and ramping up to commercial production. It has a large resource with an aggressive plan to grow further as it has the potential for a district-scale opportunity.
What are the top 3 key investor takeaways?
1) Excellent Organic Growth Potential
