~*~Mining and Metals Du Jour~*~

[the cork]

He Drifter, not to butt in, but maybe take a look at:

ASN Avino Gold and Silver (.69) did about 2.5 million silver equivalent ounces last year with by-product credits in gold, lead, and copper

ISVLF Impact Silver(.459) around 600,000 silver equivalent ounces last year with by-product credits in lead and zinc, Should be adding a gold circuit pretty soon too.

SZSMF SantaCruz Silver Mining (.0998) 1 million silver equivalent ounces per year with by-product credits in gold, lead, copper, and zinc.

I had SZSMF for a while, but sold when everything sold off a couple times ago. Put it all into GORO, another poly-metallic producer which isn't too bad either. Still worth a look for the monthly divy if nothing else.

I haven't looked closely at these for a few months now, so of course hit 'em with the proverbial fine tooth comb.

Thing to remember is, the first boat has already left the dock, for all the producers.

There's a lot of people that got in there back then that can make a profit now when they sell, which makes it hard on everybody that comes later. Ah the joys of buying at the bottom !

That said, from all outward appearances precious metals should retain their safe haven status for the foreseeable future, which bodes well for miners. Unfortunately not so well for the country, but all we can do is control what we can control and hope to live through it. GL D
