Silver Predator Corp.
Silver Predator owns the Springer Tungsten Mine and Mill Complex with a current mineral resource estimate of 246,117 Indicated tons at an average grade of 0.43% containing 106,113 STUs (Short Ton Unit) of WO3 (Tungsten trioxide) and 1,768,968 Inferred tons at an average grade of 0.48% containing 852,884 STUs of WO3. 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. Golden Predator Corp. modernized the mill 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.
