Kudos go to Royal Silver Company, a Bolivian company that exports quality in silver and gold coin fabrication.
Bolivian Thoughts in an Emerging World was fortunate enough to make an update of this post, as a result of a direct contact, today October 10, 2011, with Mr. Brian McConnell, CEO, Royal Silver Company (Bolivia) S.A.
El Dia newspaper also released the following information:
“From Bolivia we have challenged the greatest refineries in Switzerland, USA, Austria, Canada, China, Australia, with precious metals so pure that none of the coin mint operations of those large world companies can match us”, says Brian McConnell, Executive Director for Royal Silver Company.
Despite of all the incommensurable problems and difficulties that any Bolivian exporter has to endure, Royal Silver Company is competitive; 50 direct employees and around 200 indirect jobs move this venture. Their primary coin clients are in Singapore, USA and Australia.
McConnell said three incentives are needed: clarity in taxes; a modern and coherent Mining Law; and to eliminate the disincentives over national industries. As awkward as it may seem, Bolivian minerals cost less outside our borders. If Royal Silver Company were to be in Chile, we could purchase Bolivian minerals at a lower price than being in Bolivia and with greater incentives for all the industrial cycle.
Goals.“For 2012, implement a new way to finance the new ecological melting operation to work with zinc-lead-silver in Oruro, with the purpose of increasing the production of gold, silver and to improve current investment alternatives in Bolivia”, McConnell said.
There is 99.999 % purity in all the products made by the company, they have international certification. In 2008, they started raw materials exploitation and processing in Bolivia. The US Patent office has awarded them the patent number 7,892,505 due to their originality in their technology.

Sorry to hear that “placibo” will keep looking for news regarding this to do a followup.

Brian McConnell and his company are not returning investor funds nor paying out interest (silver coins) on their Silver Club Bonds as promised in writing. This company is putting a black eye on Bolivian companies and with foreigners doing business in/with Bolivia. Many customers are owed thousand of dollars and the company isn’t even responding to emails. Many people on the internet are posting now that this company is a fraud and I myself have been defrauded by this company. Too bad for Bolivia this company is representing their country worldwide.
Thank you SO much for your important information!
It sickens me to see such praise originally on this site, for what now seems to be an intensional act of fraud by this obvious snake oil salesman Brian McConnel. You can add me to the list of people who were totally scammed out of thousands of my hard earned money by this clever con artist. “Too bad for Bolivia…” Is an understatement. Hope you’re sleeping well these nights, Brian. Ever hear of a little thing called Karma?
I respect your opinion, this blog just makes public what Bolivian newspapers report, translating to English. If you have a link to a news, related to your experience, please share with me, so I can make it public too, thank you,
I hardly leave comments, but i did some searching and wound up here Bolivia
is proud to have: Royal Silver Company (an update!)
| Bolivian Thoughts in an Emerging World. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind.
Is it simply me or does it look like some of the remarks appear like they are left by brain dead visitors?
:-P And, if you are posting on additional places,
I’d like to follow anything fresh you have to post.
Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook
page or twitter feed?
Thank you SO much for your message. I try to translate those Bolivian daily news which I find enlightening for those people who cannot read in Spanish but are interested in Bolivia. This website is linked to my twitter and you can also write me an email anytime.
