Mexican miner Industrias Peñoles said on Saturday that it will suspend operations of a zinc mine in central Mexico indefinitely due to difficult mining conditions and low metal prices.

“While the Covid-19 pandemic has affected businesses around the globe, Odyssey has continued to make significant progress towards achieving our key objectives while temporarily transitioning our corporate office to a virtual environment,” said Mark Gordon, Odyssey Marine Exploration’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Taj Singh, President and CEO of Discovery commented, “The strong investment interest in Discovery is a clear reflection of the exposure and leverage that our Cordero project provides to a rising silver price. It is also indicative of the very favourable investment case for silver considering the current gold-silver ratio of 107:1 is markedly higher than the 50-year average of approximately 60:1. Upon completion of this financing Discovery will have over $40 million of cash on its balance sheet – this positions Discovery as one of the best financed silver exploration companies in the industry and provides the firepower to aggressively advance Cordero and to accelerate our exploration efforts on the surrounding regional property package.”
