GOLD PLAY !!!
Vista Gold Corp. Announces Start of Exploration at the Guadalupe de los Reyes Gold-Silver Project, Sinaloa, Mexico
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Vista-Gold-Corp-Announces-prnews-3424267951.html?x=0&.v=1
Exploration took place from 1988-2002, a period during which the silver price ranged from $4-6 per ounce and there was little incentive to evaluate the geologic potential for higher grade silver zones, similar to those which existed in the vein system mined by previous underground mining operations.
Equally important, no significant studies were completed to fully evaluate the production potential of silver with extensive metallurgical testing.
Vista's drill plan is focused on examining the potential for expansion of the bulk mineable resource estimates already identified and the high grade potential of the underground minable vein systems in the district and in the lower zones of the historic mine operations.
Following the drilling program, Vista plans to commence a systematic metallurgical testing program so that the economic potential of the deposit can be evaluated.
The style of mineralization is similar to that of Primero Mining's Tayoltita operation located 60 kilometers to the southeast with a historical production of greater than 9 million ounces of gold and 600 million ounces of silver.
Vista owns 28 contiguous claims in the Guadalupe district with a total area of 6,790 hectares (16,779 acres).
With Silver at 42.5$ (Was 9$ 24 Month ago) we can't afford not having a silver mine right now.
Historic Gold /Silver ratio was 16.
So If gold go to 1600$, 100$ is coming for Silver.
The best way to play this is AUMN

Why ?
-120M$ in cash
-350M$ Market cap
-Very low float (15M)
-Sprott Asset Management Top pick
-100 to 180M Silver once (High Grade 200g/t) in El-Quevar
-Control several other Silver mines in Mexico (From Apex Silver who fall in Bankrupcy when silver was sub 10$)
-Target price + 100$/Share

3 DECEMBER 2010 :
SILVER 29,3$, AUMN = 28.79$
17 APRIL 2011 :
SILVER 43.05$, AUMN = 22.95$
SHOULD BE TRADING AT 43.07$ RIGHT NOW !!
IN THE MEAN TIME, AUMN ANNOUNCED MORE SILVER IN EL QUEVAR.

Golden Minerals is the one I just visited in Argentina, and I think that their El Quevar project is very interesting and has a lot of potential upside.
The company's market cap is still under $400 million, and I think it has a long way to go.
It is still drilling right now, and all the labs around the world are backlogged. It's already drilled 10 holes on the Carmen prospect and has been waiting for assays for roughly two weeks now.
So, the investment thesis on Golden Minerals is this: The Yaxtché zone contains 100% of the company's resources, which is roughly 60.5 Moz. silver.
Now based on recent drilling, the geologists on site believe they have two other sub-parallel zones to Yaxtché.
One is the Carmen target and the other is Mani (500 m south of Yaxtché). They are parallel to Yaxtché, and if the geologists can prove they are sub-parallel veins to Yaxtché, the resource estimate could even triple.
Right now, the company is completing a feasibility study on El Quevar. Once that's reported, we can model the mine very easily.
We can build a financial model of the mine that will make us even more confident in the number of ounces, as well as the production and cost numbers. I see the market cap easily doubling once that happens.
TGR: How large can this Yaxtché deposit be?
AS: If the sub-parallel zones are as big as the Yaxtché, about 180 Mozs. of silver.
Even if the zones turn out to be smaller, sub-parallel zones, I think Golden Minerals'
El Quevar can easily come up with more than 100 Moz of silver.

"Keep in mind, silver's high of $49.45 per ounce in 1980 would equal about $140 per ounce
in today's dollars adjusted to the consumer price index
and about $400 per ounce in today's dollars adjusted to the real rate of price inflation."
