Mining financier Silver Wheaton open to revamped Primero deal

Silver Wheaton would consider changing its financing deal with Primero Mining on the troubled San Dimas mine in Mexico if that would improve the “health of the asset,” the mining financier’s CEO said on Monday.

Silver Wheaton, a Vancouver-based company that provides miners with upfront payments, or “streams,” in exchange for future production at a discounted, fixed price, counts San Dimas as a key asset.
