In January 2016, Silver Elephant acquired the legendary Pulacayo silver project in Bolivia from Apogee Silver. The acquisition transformed Silver Elephant into a premier silver junior in a highly sought-after address. Pulacayo is estimated to contain 100million oz* of silver resource (10/13/20 news)
Silver Elephant mined and trucked its first shipment of Paca silver oxide materials to Andean Precious Metals. Congratulations!
Silver Elephant's Paca project is located in Potosi, Bolivia, 107 km northeast of the San Cristobal silver mine, 171 km southwest of New Pacific’s Silver Sands discovery, and 180km from Andean Precious Metals' Manquiri project.

Paca is a game-changing discovery after Pulacayo’s Tajo vein (7km south) Paca hosts 37M oz indicated silver, 95% within 100 meters from surface Mineralization is shallow, manto stype amenable to bulk open pit mining Recent surface alluvial samples upto 2,555g/t silver with expansion potential
Pulacayo is 100% operated by skilled and hardworking Bolivian men and women. Join us on the exciting journey to make Pulacayo produce silver again
