Canadian mining company Sandspring Resources Ltd has identified silver resources on its property in Guyana and will use this to secure additional financial support. Last week, the company announced that it has put off completing a feasibility study for its proposed large-scale gold mine at Toroparu, Upper Puruni River as a result of uncertainty in the gold market. On Monday, in a statement, the company announced the addition of silver at its wholly owned Toroparu Project. The silver resource lies within the boundaries of the company’s Main Pit and Southeast Pit areas that are the subject of the Company’s pre-feasibility study.
