“We are excited that Chesapeake was chosen to join our first index, the Nasdaq Metals Focus Silver Miners Index, and believe that our selection to this index is further recognition of our progress and achievements,” stated Jean-Paul Tsotsos, Interim Chief Executive Officer.

The Nasdaq Metals Focus Silver Miners Index is designed to track the performance of companies engaged in the silver mining industry.  Companies are selected based on classification by Metals Focus, a leading independent precious metals research consultancy. Eligible companies include those that derive the majority of their revenues from silver mining, have a significant market share of global silver production, or are principally engaged in exploration and development activities related to new silver production.
