GOLD & SILVER PICKS

[Picassa]

Jay Taylor, Gold, Energy & Tech Stocks (1/13/12) "Golden Minerals Company reported significant operation improvements at the Velardeña project since its merger with ECU Silver Mining Inc. on Sept. 2, 2011. . .the company has enormous growth potential , and I believe the kind of values these shares reached in 2010 can be reached again and that a liftoff may well be just getting underway now. . .the acquisition of this property by this management team that is highly competent in mine operations has enabled the company to generate positive cash flows from which to develop its very strong portfolio of mining projects."

Chen Lin, What Is Chen Buying? (1/13/12) "This morning Golden Minerals Company announced excellent news. Its Q411 production far exceed guidance. . .I think this news is likely the company's turning point since the brutal sell off last year. I've followed the company for a long time; the management team has a lot of experience in operating mines. This shows that they are finally turning the mine around. I read a report on silver mining, and Golden Minerals right now is probably one of the most undervalued silver producers in term of silver ounces in the ground."
