Silver Is Strong Again, and This Producer Is Ramping Up | Arturo Prestamo - Santacruz Silver

Register here for The 2026 Rule Symposium on Natural Resource Investing: LINK HERE: https://cvent.me/XOqdLa?via=TheDeepDive.ca #silver #silverprice #silverstacking #silvernews #mining In this conversation with Arturo Préstamo, Chairman and CEO of Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (NASDAQ: SCZM) (TSXV: SCZ), we discuss why he remains bullish on silver, why another year of market deficit matters, and how Santacruz is positioning itself after a difficult 2025. Arturo explains why Bolivar is recovering from the flooding issues, why Q2 and Q3 should show stronger production, and how today’s silver and zinc prices are changing the look of the business. We also get into what makes Santacruz different from most junior-market stories, including positive cash flow, retained earnings, and a growing treasury. Arturo walks through Porco, Caballo Blanco, the San Lucas ore-trading strategy, and why the company is changing how it reports performance as silver prices distort the old silver-equivalent framework. What makes this discussion stand out is that this is not a turnaround story from scratch. It is a producer that hit setbacks, stayed profitable, and now looks set for a stronger second half as operations normalize and Sorakaya moves closer to production.
