The Dow is crashing, well, actually, correcting. Bitcoin is under $7000 as I write.
For Ascendant Resources (T.ASND) , 2017 was an extremely successful turnaround year. The Company’s El Mochito zinc, lead and silver mine located in Honduras has been in continuous operations for 70 years but, over the course of recent years, suffered from underinvestment and some neglect from its previous operator. With its recently released 2017 full year production results and 2018 guidance, it is now clear Ascendant is well positioned to build on the strong operational successes of 2017 with tremendous long-term opportunity remaining at El Mochito yet to be fully harnessed.
