One of his favourite silver producers and one of the world's lowest-cost ones. Fine management, mostly from Barrick Gold. Unlike its peers who have been selling their high-grade minerals to stay alive, they have been selling their low grade (zinc and lead). They're selling their garbage at negative cost. They can easily start mining their high-grade which is being stored. This will have quite a bit of upside. (Analysts' price target: $7.42)

This company used to mine silver heavily, and will still mine a million ounces this year but over the past four years it has been refocusing on zinc. A new zinc mine will come into production this year, replacing a silver mine with a large production of zinc. Very few new zinc mines are coming onstream, so there is a strong opportunity for this company over the next 12 months. He expects the stock to run up as high as $6.

The main focus of their property is in Mexico. The initial ore body ran out, and they are now putting another one into production. There are a number of ample opportunities in that whole area, so there could be an expansion in that part of the holding. They also have a property in Idaho, which basically has a 10-year reserve life, as well as a new holding in Mexico.

Management is the M&A team from America Barrick. Ever since they took over these 3 different mines, the price of silver has always been higher than the cost of production. What kept them alive, and what not many managers would have done, every quarter they would ramp up production more than the decline. They have gone from 500,000 ounces to 5 million ounces equivalent of silver production. This is the 1^st quarter where we have the inverse where the price of silver is higher than the cost of production, and that spread will continue to widen. Going forward, clients will be very well rewarded.

Likes management. They have actually delivered consistently. In 2011, the 3 companies they acquired were worth about $800 million. The company market cap is looking sad, but it is great management, good properties and they continue to lower the cost of production. He thinks this will definitely survive.

Has recently emerged as a silver company. He is hoping that things will turn around and it will move higher. However, you need the price of gold-silver to go up before anything happens.
