How Aftermath Silver $AAG | $AAGFF Plans to Recover Silver & Other Metals at Its Flagship Peru Proj
Nordic Funds Jul 21, 2026
Summary
Hydrometallurgy (extracting metals with chemical solutions) now recovers 96% of silver, 90% of copper, and 87% of manganese, the speaker says.
Earlier recoveries ran only 67% because manganese and copper in the rock made the silver commercially unrecoverable.
The deposit reaches surface and has been known for a century, with only about 2% of the ore body removed.
The speaker argues the improved recoveries are what make the company's flagship Peru project economically extractable.
