Silver Standard Resources is developing silver mining projects throughout the Americas. Most of its assets are in silver -- it controls proved and probable silver reserves of about 285 million ounces -- with the rest in by-product metals such as gold, tin, and zinc. The company has projects in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and the United States. Silver Standard also has a partnership with Minco Silver to explore silver projects in China. In 2011 the company sold its ownership interest in the Bowdens project located in New South Wales to Kingsgate Consolidated, based in Sydney, Australia for cash and shares estimated at $73 million.
