The World's Top 20 Undeveloped Silver Deposits - I wish Franklin starts digging and produce some results.

Jim Letourneau submits: A corporate presentation from Mines Management Inc. listed the world’s Top-20 undeveloped silver deposits. I thought it would be instructive to see which public companies own these deposits. Silver is in a bull market after all. They are roughly listed from largest to smallest. Often new drilling results will expand the estimated size of these deposits so the relative size of each deposit can be a moving target.
