Break Creek Mining unearths what could be a 300-million-oz. silver deposit
Senior staff writer Rob Robertson had heard whispers about Bear Creek Mining’s massive Corani silver-lead-zinc project in southern Peru. Some said “it’s Navidad without the lawsuit,” while others described it as “another San Cristobal.” Robertson travelled to Peru to get a first-hand look at one of the biggest South American silver finds in recent memory. Stories from his trip appear in the Dec. 23-29, 2005, issue of The Northern Miner. Robertson explains what makes this project unique and compares it with similar development-stage projects such as Navidad and San Cristobal. Here are some photos from his visit.
