Silver Predator Corp.

Silver Predator owns the Springer Tungsten Mine and Mill Complex where the current Preliminary Economic Assessment states a mineral resource estimate of 355,000 Indicated tons at an average grade of 0.537% containing 190,635 Short Ton Units[STUs] of Tungsten trioxide [WO₃] and 1,933,600 Inferred tons at an average grade of 0.493% containing 952,326 STU's of WO₃ with an Internal Rate of Return of 47% after tax and an estimated capital expenditure of $29.8 million dollars ⁽¹⁾. The Springer facility was originally constructed and operated by General Electric Corp. in the late 1970s and was operational for a few months in the early 1980s when the project was put on care and maintenance due to low tungsten prices.  The mill was modernized by Golden Predator Corp. in 2007-2008.   

The Company also holds the Taylor silver-gold project in Nevada. The Taylor project hosts a current resource estimate ⁽²⁾, is open to expansion, and is located in a district that has identified the potential for discovery of additional silver and gold deposits.
