World's Purest Silver Coins Awarded Prize By Bolivian Export Group

Sept. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- At a gala awards dinner on Friday, September 16, 2011, attended by leading export companies, civic leaders, and government authorities, The Cochabamba Chamber of Exporters awarded two prizes to Royal Silver Company:  "Most Innovative Product of the Year" and "Exporter of the Year."  Accepting the awards on behalf of Royal Silver Company were Brian McConnell, CEO, Jose Criado, Sr. VP, and Christopher Coria, VP.  Royal Silver Company was the only exporter to be awarded two prizes that night. Handing out the awards was the mayor of Cochabamba, The Honorable Edwin Castellanos.

Royal Silver Company makes the world's purest silver coins at .99999 pure silver.  The company extracts silver and other metals from raw ores and concentrates with a patented process that does not contaminate the environment.   Royal Silver Company has engineered solutions to the contamination crisis facing the smelting industry today.  The company has signed an agreement with the Bolivian government to install  a large zero-emissions lead-zinc-silver smelter near the mines in Oruro, Bolivia.  The new smelter will demonstrate on a large scale the benefits of Royal Silver Company's patented ARGOX Process.  The company operates a smaller plant in Cochabamba that demonstrates the ARGOX technology on a pilot scale.

Royal Silver Company's silver refinery uses trade secret methods to produce .99999 pure silver in a three-step process that does not produce liquid, gas, or solid waste.  The company is not connected to any sewer or drain system and all liquids are completely evaporated, condensed, and re-used in a closed-loop system.  The company takes pride in being the world's only zero-emissions silver smelter, refinery and mint--an extraordinary achievement given that Royal Silver Company works in a relatively under-developed nation.

Royal Silver Company exports silver coins to every part of the globe from their smelter, refinery and mint in Cochabamba, Bolivia.  The prizes and recognition by the Cochabamba Chamber of Exporters further consolidates Royal Silver Company's position as a producer of exceptional quality silver investment products for the global retail market.  The company mints both The Andean Cat and The Blue-Throated Macaw series of coins for sale to the public and private-label coins that are minted exclusively for Asian-Islamic markets that do not carry the Royal Silver mark, but which can be distinguished for being the only .99999 pure silver coins in the world.

Royal Silver Company donates a portion of profits to the organizations trying to save both the Andean Cat and Blue-Throated Macaw from extinction.  The Andean Cat is a rare wild mountain cat that lives only in the Andes region of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, and the Blue-Throated Macaw is the world's rarest macaw that lives only in Bolivia.  Both face extinction, and Royal Silver Company's coins help to raise awareness of these animals' plight.
