In this episode, we chat to Shawn Khunkhun, CEO & Director at Dolly Varden Silver Corp, a mineral exploration company focused on advancing its 100% held Kitsault Valley Project, which is located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.
Shawn has a wealth of experience in the capital markets, mineral exploration, and the development sector and has a focus on enhancing shareholder value. He has served in a variety of strategic roles including investor relations, and corporate development. Shawn is also a director of Goldshore Resources and Director & CEO of StrikePoint Gold. He is going to give us an update on Dolly Varden, the history of the company and assets and an overview of the current silver market
KEY TAKEAWAYS
In just a few years, Dolly Varden has grown, in terms of market cap, by about five times.
During that time, the share price doubled.
The company was undercapitalized. Bringing in $45 million has solved that problem.
Shawn tripled the company´s mineral inventory.
They have about 63 million ounces of high-grade silver and 1 million ounces of gold in the ground.
Instead of continuing to rely on consultants, Dolly Varden has built up an experience in an internal team that has resulted in fast growth.
They have identified 7 deposits in Kitsault Valley in an area that they own outright.
There is hydroelectric power available in the area.
The deeper they drill the higher the grades and the wider the deposits get.
Dolly Varden is number one for size vs grade in the jurisdiction.
Silver is still a niche market, there is not enough to meet demand 5 years from now.
Historically the price of silver follows gold, but this time around demand is likely to have more of an impact.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I transfer wealth and my scientists create wealth. ´
‘In my experience, with consultants, you pay top dollar, and you get a slow turnaround.’
‘The people are almost as important as the projects…. We´ve got a really strong team.’
‘Historically, silver moves when gold is reaching the mature stages of its cycle.’
