Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI | OTCQB: SBMCF) is a silver and copper exploration and development company with projects in the western USA. Our flagship project is Black Diamond, close to 5,000 acres in the Miami-Globe copper camp and centered on the Richmond Basin.
The basin is the site of the original 1870s native silver discoveries that brought prospectors to the now significant Globe copper camp. The story goes that a scouting party was fired upon by Apache Indians using bullets made of hammered native silver, thus inspiring our company name – Silver Bullet Mines.
The Richmond Basin is the location of several historic high-grade silver-copper mines including: McMorris, La Plata, Helena, Silver Sevens, Buckeye and numerous associated prospects. Little work or extraction has been done in this area since the early 20th century as the camp focused on big copper mines. These mines anchor this section of what is called the Arizona Silver Belt, which extends from the famous Silver King near Superior, AZ and parallels the trend of the major copper deposits, including the Magma mine. We believe the high-grade silver is still there waiting for discovery.
