Hecla, Kinross, Taseko, and CMC Metals are long term hold no matter what. They cover Gold, Silver, and Copper as asset classes, not trading stock. Everything else is a growth play. CMC Metals will yield best % return over time. Lots of other favorites, but I personally own these. Production summary follows charts.
