“What a setup out there.”
Silver sentiment is surging. Multi-billion-dollar producers are flying.
But juniors haven’t caught fire—yet.
The dominoes are lining up.
Here’s why Blackrock Silver Corp's Tonopah West project (TSXV: BRC | OTCQX: BKRRF) could be next in line. 🧵👇
#Silver #JuniorMining #TonopahWest
🔹 The Setup:
Silver majors like Coeur Mining just jumped 30%+ on earnings
Margins are expanding across the board
But explorers and developers haven’t caught the love—yet
In every bull cycle, it trickles down
$BRC is positioned to ride the wave
🔹 From Discovery to Resource:
4 years ago: First drill hole at Tonopah West
Today:
• 100M oz AgEq resource
• 48M oz Silver
• 577k oz Gold
• 150,000+ metres drilled
Next steps:
• Upgrade ounces
• Expand resource
• Advance permitting
• Move toward production
🔹 Financial Strength & Institutional Attention:
• $17.4M cash (Q1)
• 150%+ YoY volume growth
• Backed by Eric Sprott (50% of 2023 financing)
• Added to $SIL ETF (Global X Silver Miners Index)
🔹 Location, Location:
Tonopah West is in Nevada—The Silver State
• Historic production: 400M oz AgEq from just 7.5M tons
• $BRC.v is the first to consolidate & drill it in over a century
• Already outlined 6M tons with room to grow
🔹 PEA Snapshot (Sept 2023):
• 8.6M oz/year production
• <$12/oz AISC
• 570 g/t AgEq avg grade
• 40% after-tax IRR
• 2:1 NPV:CAPEX
• 2.3 yr payback
✅ One of the lowest-cost silver development stories globally
🔹 Fast Track Advantage:
• Project sits on private land
• No federal permitting—state & county only
• Already collecting hydrologic data for approvals
• Target: underground by end of 2026
🔹 2024 Game Plan:
• 35,000m drill program underway
• Upgrade inferred → M&I
• Expand mine life beyond 10 years
• New resource estimate coming September 2025
🎯 Goal: move from explorer → de-risked developer
🔹 What’s Changing On the Ground:
• Grade + tonnage zones are aligning
• Recent hit: 11–12m @ 500+ g/t AgEq
• Greater consistency = stronger confidence
• Big expansion potential
🔹 Strategic Relevance:
Silver may not be labeled “critical”…
But Tonopah West has the potential to boost U.S. silver output by 12–15% annually.
That’s material in today’s geopolitics + supply chain environment.
🔹 The Road Ahead:
📅 Sept 2025: New M&I resource
📄 Permitting submitted
🔨 2026: Test mining begins
🏗️ 2027: Full underground development
This is no longer just exploration hype.
It’s execution mode.
🔹 Then & Now:
100 years ago, Tonopah was America’s most advanced silver camp—the first to use electricity.
Now, @BRCsilver is bringing it back to life with high-grade ounces, modern strategy, and real momentum.
🗣️ Words from CEO Andrew Pollard (@andrewpollard85):
“This will be the next silver mine to come online in America… and a high-margin one at that.”
Silver is waking up.
$BRC.V / $BKRRF could be one of the biggest beneficiaries.
Add it to your radar.
