We have written a 46-page Update Report on Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (“SBMI” or “the Company”) (TSXV: SBMI | OTC: SBMCF). SBMI is focused on silver and copper production across its key assets, the Buckeye Silver Mine in Arizona and the Washington Mine in Idaho. SBMI aims to generate revenue from processing third-party mineralized material while awaiting the Buckeye Mine’s regulatory safety approvals. Recent financing strengthens its cash position while awaiting production resumption at the Buckeye Mine and progress at the Washington Mine. SBMI’s future growth is supported by district-scale exploration on its Arizona property, management expertise, and favorable jurisdictions. We maintained a Speculative Buy rating on SBMI, but reduced the one-year Price Target to $0.20 and introduced a two-year Price Target of $0.35. [more]
