Zinc’s Long-Term Growth & Potential In North America — With Ritch Wigham of Slave Lake Zinc

Joining us today on The Daily Dive is Ritch Wigham, CEO & Director of Slave Lake Zinc Corp (CSE: SLZ). Ritch joins us today to shars his insights on zinc and its future in the base metal market as part of the green agenda, the potential for a zinc shortage, and the impact energy prices have on base metals. We then turn the discussion to Slave Lake Zinc, covering its current strategy and its potential as a significant base metal producer.

Slave Lake Zinc intends to develop the potential of its O’Connor Lake property, a historic zinc lead copper property located in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The property is located south of Great Slave Lake and to the east of Osisko Metals’ Pine Point project. The property was initially developed after the Second World War and subsequently abandoned in 1952 when the prices of zinc and lead collapsed post-war. Slave Lake Zinc Corp. believes that it is well positioned to advance this project and to expand significantly the historic potential of the property.
