Cheryl Brandon, Portfolio Manager at Waterton, stated, "We are very pleased with the progress that Huldra has made towards commissioning the recently constructed 200 tpd mill in Merritt, BC. We look forward to continue working with management as they transition Treasure Mountain from a development asset into a high-grade silver producer."
Ryan Sharp, President and CEO of Huldra, stated, "We are extremely pleased with the strong working relationship we have developed with Waterton. This mutually beneficial agreement allows for the completion of mill construction without any change to the mining or exploration programs."
