Podcast Overview:
Andrew Bowering, Chairman of Apollo Silver Corp shares his extensive background in the mining industry, which spans 35
years. Andy explains how he founded Apollo Silver at the request of investors,
raising significant funds and acquiring assets from mid-tier to major companies
in the silver space.
The conversation then shifts
to the recent appointment of Ross McElroy as CEO of Apollo Silver. Andy
highlights Ross’ extensive experience in the industry, including his recent
sale of Fission Uranium for $1.1 billion, and expresses enthusiasm about having
Ross now lead the Apollo team. (Related news release )
California Mining Landscape and Calico Project
Andy discusses the mining
landscape in California, highlighting the state's complex history with mining
and environmental concerns. He explains that while California has been less
popular for mining in recent years due to environmental regulations and water
scarcity, there are still areas like San Bernardino County where mining
operations are active. Andrew then describes Apollo’s project, situated primarily
on private land designated for mining, emphasizing its favorable location and
historical significance. He also mentions the project's geological advantages,
including a 1:1 strip ratio and a straightforward geological formation.
Andrew discusses the Calico
project, which consists of three deposits: two silver (Waterloo and Langtry)
and an historical gold deposit, The Burcham Mine. The project contains
approximately 160 million ounces of silver and 70,000 ounces of gold. Andrew
also mentions the presence of barite, a critical mineral, which could be
valuable for negotiations with the government. For the upcoming year, the
company plans to announce a compliant barite resource, conduct a drill program
to determine the size of the gold resource, and perform an economic study on
the silver resource.
Andrew discusses their large
mining project called Cinco de Mayo, located northwest of Chihuahua City in
North Mexico. He explains that the project, potentially the largest CRD
(Carbonate Replacement Deposit) in North America, lost its social license in
2012 when local surface owners banned mining. Andrew's company, Apollo, has
been given a five-year option to resolve community issues and resume drilling.
He draws parallels to his previous success with Prime Mining in Sinaloa,
Mexico, where he restored community support and unlocked significant value.
Andrew believes his team's local connections and experience will help them
resolve the social license issues at Cinco de Mayo, potentially turning it into
a highly valuable project.
Mining in Northern Mexico's Economy
Andrew shares the importance
of mining in Northern Mexico's economy and the recent changes in government
policy. He explains that the previous government tried to restrict mining, but
the new Sheinbaum government is now opening up the sector for foreign
investment. Andrew emphasizes the positive impact of mineral exploration and
mine development on local communities in Mexico. He mentions that officials
from Chihuahua's Ministry of Mines visited their office, expressing excitement
about the potential reopening of the Cinco de Mayo project, which could bring
significant economic benefits to the area.
Mining Industry Success
Andrew talks about the key
elements for success in the mining industry, emphasizing the importance of good
assets, a strong management team, and a solid shareholder base with a good
capital structure. He stresses the value of teamwork and hiring smart,
hardworking individuals. Andrew explains his role in raising money and
promotion, while also highlighting his hands-on experience and personal
financial commitment to Apollo. He says he believes that demonstrating
leadership through personal investment attracts good supporters, which in turn
brings more supporters and provides the patience needed for long-term projects.
