Warren Buffett bought 3,500 tons of silver in 1997. The purchase helped make Thomas Kaplan a billionaire.
Theron Mohamed May 25, 2020, 7:38 AM

Warren Buffett's purchase of almost 3,500 tons of silver in 1997 helped turn Thomas Kaplan into a billionaire.
After the silver bubble burst in early 1980, the precious metal plunged in price from $50 an ounce to below $10, and it was widely dismissed as a bad investment.
"What really put an end to it was when Warren Buffett bought [those] ounces of silver," Kaplan, the chairman of NovaGold Resources, told shareholders this month.
"It became public that he had done this the week when I was taking my silver company public," Kaplan said. "That changed everything."
Kaplan told Business Insider he personally thanked Buffett at a dinner years later.

Warren Buffett made an unusual move in 1997 when he bought 111 million ounces, or nearly 3,500 tons, of silver. The famed investor's purchase helped make Thomas Kaplan a billionaire.

"That changed everything"
Kaplan was in his early 30s, with a doctorate in history from Oxford University but zero industry experience, when he founded a mining company named Apex Silver Mines in 1993. Despite his lack of credentials, he received a $10 million investment from billionaire investor George Soros in 1994.

At the time, the global silver market was still recovering from oil tycoon Nelson Bunker Hunt and his brothers almost cornering it in 1979. The silver bubble had burst in early 1980, slashing the price of the precious metal from $50 an ounce to less than $10, and making it a toxic asset for many investors.

"What really put an end to it was when Warren Buffett bought [those] ounces of silver," Kaplan, now the chairman of NovaGold Resources, said during the miner's virtual shareholder meeting this month, according to a transcript on Sentieo, a financial-research site.


"I remember it vividly because there but for the grace of God, it became public that he had done this the week when I was taking my silver company public," Kaplan continued, referring to Apex.

"And otherwise, not a very good time to be in the market, but that changed everything."


Berkshire's wager
Buffett and his partner Charlie Munger's silver investment didn't just benefit Kaplan. It also generated a pre-tax return of more than $97 million for their Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate, Buffett said in his 1997 letter to shareholders.


The Berkshire CEO described the wager as a "return to the past" as he bought silver in the 1960s in anticipation of its demonetization by the US government. In 1997, he bet on the metal again as he predicted shrinking stockpiles would push up the silver price.

"In recent years, bullion inventories have fallen materially, and Charlie and I concluded that a higher price would be needed to establish equilibrium between supply and demand," Buffett said in the letter.

Bill Gates, the Microsoft cofounder and Buffett's close friend, must have come to the same conclusion. He took a stake in a miner, Pan American Silver, in 1999.


"Gold on steroids"
Buffett's vote of confidence restored the perception of silver as a viable investment.

"From that moment on, I never had to explain to people the rationale for owning silver," Kaplan said on the NovaGold call, referring to the metal having many industrial uses and serving as a store of value.

"The fact that it has both components means that it's gold on steroids," he added.

Buffett's endorsement of silver enabled Apex to list its shares successfully, paving the way for Kaplan to cash out most of his stock by 2004. He went on to score huge returns from investing in an African platinum miner and founding a Texas oil-and-gas company, both of which ballooned in value and were acquired in 2007.


Today, Kaplan leads The Electrum Group, an investment firm focused on natural resources. He also heads up Panthera, an organization devoted to "big cat" conservation, and boasts the world's largest private collection of Rembrandts.

The billionaire credits some of his success to Buffett's surprise bet on silver in 1997.

"I owe him one," Kaplan told Business Insider, adding that Buffett's purchase was "one of a string of just ridiculous strokes of luck."

Silver could surge again
Precious metals are poised for another historic rally as investors seek to safeguard their wealth from the coronavirus pandemic, Kaplan predicted on the NovaGold call.

"Buffett took his position at $4 or $4.50, and silver ultimately went back to $50," he said. "You're going to see something not dissimilar once again, in silver, but very much in gold."

The Berkshire chief's dearth of stock purchases when the market tanked in March suggests he's worried, Kaplan argued, strengthening the case for investing in gold and silver.

"We're in a world where Warren Buffett is standing aside — that's not his stock and trade during these crises," he said.


"Anyone who listened in on his annual general meeting will see that this was not the same gung ho, 'you've got to buy this pullback,'" Kaplan continued.

"That tells me that he, too, is looking for ways to preserve wealth and preserve value."

There's no sign yet that Buffett is eyeing a return to silver or planning to pile into gold. But it's safe to say that Kaplan would welcome another boost from the Berkshire boss.

Americas Gold and Silver Hosts Official Opening Ceremony for Cosalá Operations
January 24 2022 - 07:00AM
Business Wire

Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) (“Americas” or the “Company”) hosted an official opening ceremony for the Company’s Cosalá Operations on Friday, January 21, 2022.

The ceremony included the Company’s President and CEO, Darren Blasutti, the Mexican Minister of Economy, Tatiana Clouthier, the Governor of the State of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya and the Cosalá Mayor, Carla Corrales.

All three government representatives spoke passionately about the importance of the mine to the local community, the Sinaloa state and the Country. They thanked the Company for its perseverance during the illegal blockade and the commitment of capital to re-open the mine. In addition, they pledged their support and resources to keep the mine open permanently. The inclusion of these high-ranking government officials demonstrates the tremendous support for the Cosalá Operations as well as the strengthened relationship between the Company and all levels of government to ensure stable conditions for the operations moving forward.

“I was pleased to personally welcome the Mexican Minister of Economy and the Governor of the State of Sinaloa to the San Rafael Mine in Cosalá and to witness firsthand their tremendous support for the mine and the community of Cosalá. They appreciated our commitment to the local community and promised to enforce all conditions required to allow for stable and profitable operations moving forward,” stated Americas Gold and Silver President & CEO Darren Blasutti. “Following a challenging 19 months during the illegal blockade, I would like to thank our workforce for all their efforts in an efficient and effective return to operations. The plant is now operating at the targeted level of production which, combined with the current metal prices, should generate significant amount of free cash flow for the Company moving forward.”

The speeches made by the three government representatives as well as English transcripts can be found on the Company's website under the Cosalá Operations section using the following link:

https://americas-gold.com/operations/cosala-operations/reopening-ceremony-speeches/

Initial production at the Cosalá Operations will focus on maximizing near-term free cash flow by mining high-grade zinc areas of the Main Zone which were fully developed prior to the illegal blockade. Over the course of the next six months, the mine will continue development into the Upper Zone, which carries silver grades approximately 5-6 times higher than the Main Zone. Mining the silver-rich areas of the Cosalá Operations is expected to significantly increase silver production to over 2.5 million ounces of silver on an annualized basis.

GORO looks interesting. When I was doing dd on SVM I found out they have stakes in NEWP, OMGGF, WHGDF, VLMZF. A couple of these look interesting. Have you ever looked at these?

[surfer44]

Heads up on DWAC. Gotta like politics for this one. And forget about valuations.

[surfer44]

Rick Rule is cool. I had my portfolio reviewed by him. Like you I also try to capture gains in big companies except I use etf's. So I'm mostly in micro and nanocaps.

[Mephisto Berserk]

Copper is actually what ive been looking into lately. As everyone expects to be using more over the next decades to come. I like the look of this.

[Mephisto Berserk]

Oof tough question since Im not truly sure. I really like GPL, I think theyre also undervalued like USAS, then Im in a bunch of tiny juniors like Silver Hammer HAMRF, Blackrock BKRRF and a few other even smaller companies. I like GORO too. I mean im also in large resource companies VALE, BHP, Rio Tinto. But theyre just good dividend plays, not like the hundreds if percent i hope to get out of these small precious metals miners.
I am a fan of Rick Rule so I cant be all in "penny dreadfuls" haha

[surfer44]

Mephisto, if I may ask. What is your best silver play?

Surf

[surfer44]

OK, since we're the only guys here. How about a copper play? TVCCF (formerly Sprott Resource Holdings). Are you looking at copper?

[surfer44]

Glad someone else thinks theres good opportunity here

Agree. Thanks

[Mephisto Berserk]

Glad someone else thinks theres good opportunity here :) . So they are on my radar but i dont own them and have been waiting and hoping they would maybe go under 3 before i bought. Ive been pretty focused on smaller market cap. I think theyre just a bit overvalued.

[surfer44]

Do you have any thoughts on SVM?

[surfer44]

I've got shares. I like the name of the company. And it has gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper. And Sprott is involved. 2022

[Mephisto Berserk]

No one else is into this? Profitable with over 280 million of assets, 130 mil market cap? Operating mines? Just me? Ok then

[Mephisto Berserk]

Same here! I may have a lot of eggs in the physical and equity mining market haha.

You in Louisiana? Over in Lafayette here.

Geo-political and financial analyst Bo Polny has long said “. . .
Nothing can stop these people aside from a Biblical intervention from
God.”
According to Polny’s Biblical cycle and timing charts, that’s exactly
what is likely going to happen by the end of the year.
It all centers around the value of the U.S. dollar.
Polny explains, “Bitcoin, years ago, was under a dollar.
Then it was a dollar.
Then it was ten bucks.
Then it was a hundred, and then it was a $1,000.
All they can do is keep bashing it with news and say how horrible it is.
Ultimately, the most horrible currency in the world is the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. dollar is the root of all evil.

Americas Gold and Silver Announces Recall of Workers at the Cosalá Operations

Share On Facebook


Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) (“Americas” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update to the re-opening of the Company’s Cosalá Operations.

The Company began recalling its workers as of September 11, 2021 and commenced re-opening the operation as of September 13, 2021 as the employees arrived on site. Given the favourable conditions of both the mine and mill, new mine production and concentrate is expected to start shipping in October 2021.

Government inspectors from the Mexican Ministry of Labour have physically inspected the San Rafael mine and Los Braceros mill and reviewed the re-start plans, which validated the existing safe conditions at the operations. The Company now has unobstructed access to both the mine and mill at the Cosalá Operations.

Once in operation, it is anticipated that the current higher silver prices will allow the Company to target the higher-grade silver ores in the Upper Zone of San Rafael and develop the silver-copper EC120 project. Mining these silver-rich areas of the Cosalá Operations is expected to significantly increase silver production to over 2.5 million ounces of silver per annum in the years following the re-start. Coupled with the exploration success at the Galena Complex in Idaho, where the Company is targeting to reach peak historical annual production levels of approximately 5 million ounces per year, the Company expects to significantly increase silver production over the next few years.

#USAS: TIME TO DOUBLE UP.... $ 0.98

[Jerry70]

$ USAS. Like all stocks USAS needs more volume to move up. GO > $USAS

[maverick one]

Many appreciative thanks old friend. It’s never a dull moment doing it. But as the furnace starts to heat up, that excitement starts to build lip and it makes it all worth while. If you do not feel safe going underground, can always find a mine with tons of workings above ground and get a crusher do it that way. You are correct in what has been going on with dealers and JP Morgan. My target is to reach $225-325k by end of this fiscal 22’. I visit silver gold coin shops, tell them potentially, and only go in before or after doors open or closed. Don’t feel I want to be seen by members of public. Safeguard. They never say no, owners. They would be fools if they were too. People like me are very very rare. They want that golden silver goose lays those eggs. In return, they never get my real name either. Pay cash. No trace, park always from their shops, no vehicle spotted. Walk in, walk out.

[Montanore]

I commend you for what you are doing and it's great to see rugged American individualism is still alive and well, even if confined to a dwindling few such as yourself.

I don't blame you for doing it yourself. Especially in the silver world, there are too many siphoning off too much from the shiniest metal--from JP Morgan down to coin shops. Too much rigging. Too many ripoffs. Too much dilution (as in the case of USAS).

It will be both exciting and satisfying to mint one's own silver. I'd love to do that myself, but I lack the means. Best wishes to you in your endeavor.

[maverick one]

David was an amazingly kind and intelligent person, whom knew so much about mining in the silver valley and around the USA, than anyone I had the pleasure of coming across. He will be forever missed.

The mines montanore. There are potentials yes in the SV. Also looking in mining friendly states, WA, NV, AZ, ID, MT, in the boondocks, extremely isolated off grid, where man rarely passes by. I’m going to smartly, inexpensively rehab my own gold/silver mine operation. Reframe timber if required. Lay down a new steel track with mine cart, old school, powerful generator to provide lights that will be strung up, and provide electrical power to operate tools, and also to get air into a shaft. Build a safe heavy strength vertical mine pulley, to hoist ore vertically by hand, or with an electrical motor from a generator, up a horizontal level to unload into a old school mining cart.

Once the ore, is loaded into mining cart and made its way to daylight, start crushing ore with a portable crusher, from there process it off site. That way, there’s no need for a large gas burning 10 ton dump with hydraulic bed, having to drive deep into isolated areas and back out to main paved roads. It’s just load my pickup, put generator back into bed, my camping equipment, mining equipment, put steel gate back into adit entrance- lock it up, reset surveillance cameras. Head back and process.

Goal is to mine 2/3 tons per 2/3 days. If not more, perhaps 5/7.

I already own a smelting furnace, that in the past, have retrieved gold/silver and made my own bars with %, in the 90’s and 00’s.

It is time. It is time to create my own private bullion. That I will not sell to any large outfits that public can buy bars from online. However, I will take privately to gold/silver & coin shops, from time to time, people that have known me for decades. They keep quiet, confidentiality. I then sell directly to whom I select. Cash.

I’ll be able to old school produce 1-5-10 Oz gold bars, from my own discreet process out of my own concentrate.
Not one trace of whom I am, or where I’m located at.

In case anyone doesn’t realize, there’s been a another form of banking/money transfer in this country for decades. Gold/silver/coin shops.

It is 100% doable, because I have done it many times. So yes, those old abandoned gold mines, everybody has passed on by, absolutely produce. People just don’t want to put the work in, non interested, or feel it’s too rugged, or impossible, or too dangerous, no experience, not driven, or can not be executed. Bull crap is what I always said.

Bullpucky. You do not need millions of capital to execute this way. That’s a fallacy. Some mining companies I know, they get a kick when I showed them a bar back in the day. There like what....?

So if I produce 1 Oz bars, out of 1-2 tons ore, and extricate out 5/7 tons every 2/3 days. You can pretty much figure approx. the net and its potential. I have over the decades learned to smelt and purify. I don’t have to work with a mining outfit. My grandfather was a blacksmith and worked before that in mining in the silver valley and later in life Montana. I learned. He struck his own bars starting back in the 30’s.

I’m been known to take a tiny very remote, the more remote the better, away from any properties where people can not see me come and go, but cloaked deep into early mornings of entrance and exits under the Milky Way, and enlarge that dangerous adit, out in the boonies. It’s like riding a bicycle, you never forget old friend. I use modern equipment, powered by generators, large ones. Straight into mining walls and ceilings above, chasing veins that others found and abandoned. I pick up where they left off. I enjoy what I do and have done over the decades and have passed my knowledge onto family. It’ll go past my lifetime.

I’m in search of my next mine or mines. Goal will be to produce in house, 4 bars per 2/3 days mining hard core physical like old miners had too. Mine 12 days a month. Produce 16 bars monthly. That’s on the minimal size, I can increase by working, putting scheduling more time in. I’m a very strong and physical person, non stop 12 hours a day, and I have pulled out as much as 8 -10 tons in tight situations. Depends. But I do everything, including black powder, and operating a jack/roto powered by generators, straight into rock, respirators occasionally. I don’t F around.

It’s a lost art and practice, but I’ve never been lost.
