TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Honey Badger Silver Inc. (TSX-V: TUF) ("Honey Badger Silver" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. John H. Hill, M.Sc, CFA, to the Company's Board of Directors, effective immediately.

A Chartered Financial Analyst and graduate in Mineral Economics from the Colorado School of Mines, Mr. Hill's mining and commodity expertise has been at the pinnacle of the industry as follows: Fund Management - as Partner and Research Director at Cambrian Capital L.P., a resource fund active across the mining, energy and industrial sectors; Equity Research - as Director, Metals & Mining for Citigroup Investment Research; and Mining Operations - as Director, Business Development for Echo Bay Mines, and Manager, INCO Ltd. exploration & technical services. Mr. Hill has worked on mining projects in over 15 countries, has testified to US Congress on mineral policy issues, and served as Chairman of the Denver Gold Group. 

As Principal of Rexerro Capital Ltd., a natural resource investment firm based in San Francisco, his perspectives on commodities are widely cited in asset valuations and portfolio reviews:

"We see silver as the most essential precious metal, central to green energy and the low-carbon transition. With constrained mine supply and strong investment offtake, fair value is roughly US$30 per ounce, and $50 likely in the next phase of the precious metals bull market. Now is an excellent time to accumulate silver assets."

Chad Williams, Executive Chairman of Honey Badger Silver commented, "John personifies excellence and has a stellar reputation in many categories of mining and capital markets. He will certainly contribute towards increasing the value of our silver asset portfolio."
