In 2003 he co-founded International Royalty Corporation, a TSX-listed company, and served as Chairman and CEO as his team built IRC into the world’s fourth largest royalty company until the company was sold for C$749 million in 2010.
Mr. Silver founded the Denver Gold Group, one of the industries’ most significant gold investment conferences.
“I look forward to putting my geologist’s hat back on while also guiding this company forward.
