COMMENT
Silver. One of her favourite names in silver. Currently producing in Mexico around 1.2-1.4 million ounces. Constructing a mine in Texas that will add about 3 million ounces. Will grow to about 4.5-5 million in about 1.5 years.
BUY
To him this looks potentially like one of the more undervalued silver companies out there. Looks like a good project. Is already a producing company.
TOP PICK
Currently producing about 1.8 million ounces of silver in Mexico. Looking to bring on another mine in Texas which should produce another 3+ million ounces, which means they will basically triple production this year.
BUY
Has done fairly well over the last couple of months. Have put Shafter mine into production and it looks like everything has started on time and on budget. Stock looks good here and looks like it is breaking out. Feels the company is ready to be re-rated and has heard that this will be added to the small-cap index over the next couple of weeks. Going to be a 5 million ounce silver producer and can see it getting up to $1.25 in 12 months.
COMMENT

Just came out with an upgrade to 115,000,000 ounces of silver on their Mexican mine. Their Texas mine will soon be opening also. She feels this is a takeout name. For a junior, it is about a $500 million market cap. These are fairly high-grade mines and she likes the cost they have extracting the ore.

COMMENT

Silver mine in Mexico, which is one of the best jurisdictions to explore for silver. Silver has had an excellent run from mid-$20-$35 an ounce so companies like this, that are going to get ready for production, are going to be prime to generate excellent cash flows and ultimately get taken out down the road.

COMMENT

Both of their mines have very good grades and resource of silver. Commercial production of their Texas mine is being pushed out to maybe past January/February. Thinks there is good value here and wouldn’t rule out a takeout. Value wise she thinks it’s fair but there seems to be some negativity on the Shorts side so would be cautious, but over the long term there is a lot of value there.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 30/12. Up 1.15%.)

DON'T BUY

Have 2 mines, one in Mexico and one in Texas. Appears to be having difficulty in both projects and there are operating difficulties that he doesn’t understand.

DON'T BUY

Has been a bit of a disaster. Mine in Texas is not going ahead, resource was not properly done. The reserves are not what they expected.
