Mexivada Cashflow Model
Mexivada Mining Corp. utilizes a "Prospect Generator" / JV business model, evaluating and often joint venturing mineral properties that show potential to yield economically mineable large mineral deposits. Mexivada seeks out potential joint venture partners, often after an initial phase of drilling has been done by Mexivada or a third party. Mexivada earns cash and third-party company shares and warrants through optioning its properties to other companies. The expected possible cashflows to Mexivada have increased dramatically, due to its recent property option transactions, as Mexivada has reported to the public. Mexivada will continue to search for and acquire new mineral properties, to augment these possible cashflows, and Mexivada also will drill certain of its properties, when it deems it appropriate.
