Chris Furey

Chris Furey is Vice President of Exploration at Silver Pony Resources Corp. (CSE: PONY, OTC: PONIF), a junior explorer — a small company searching for its first deposit — that controls 37,000 hectares of the historic Lardeau silver district in southeastern British Columbia. He directs the company's first drill campaign at the Silver Pony Project and has become its public voice on geology, fielding unscripted questions from resource analysts at Doug Casey's Experts Roundtable, the panel featured in the video "A $15 Million Silver Bet."

Silver Pony appointed Furey VP of Exploration on July 24, 2026 — the day the company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange at a valuation near C$15 million — citing more than 13 years of mineral exploration experience across North America. He planned the company's 2026 exploration and drill program, and its first three holes at the Revelstoke Trend all cut galena-pyrite vein breccias: galena is a lead sulfide mineral that commonly carries silver, and vein breccias are rock broken and re-cemented by mineralizing fluids. Each hole intersected several mineralized intervals on the contacts he targeted, per the company's release, and surface grab samples — selective rock picks rather than representative samples — returned assays (lab measurements of metal content) up to 1,610 g/t silver. Company announcements do not name his prior employers or discoveries, so his longer track record is not yet independently documented.

His method surfaced when a roundtable panelist pressed on what comes after a good drill hole — the "valley of despair" of years more work in helicopter-supported terrain. Furey answered with infrastructure: the nearby Trout Lake area hosts a former molybdenum mine with a mill and old mining roads he knows from mountain biking the ground. The exchange captures how he frames an exploration case — drill the vein contacts the geology points to, then use existing roads and nearby facilities to contain costs.

For silver investors tracking early-stage juniors, Furey is worth following as assays and the remainder of the 2026 program test whether the Lardeau ground can support a deposit. His commentary arrives mainly through company releases and paid-format appearances — Silver Pony disclosed a fee for the Experts Roundtable and holds multiple investor-relations contracts — context readers should weigh when judging the coverage.
