    On Friday the 31st of May, we spoke to Michael Rapsch, Investor Relations at SilverCrest Mines. He explained this week's press release as it was quite technical and perhaps difficult to grasp for some investors. Michael also updated us on the ongoing expansion at the company's flagship property, the Santa Elena Mine. The expansion is on time and on budget, a rare thing these days.

    He also touched on the unique situation that SVL is in concerning the Santa Elena expansion and how it's de-risked compared to most other new mining operations.

    Next immidiate trigger will be the filing of Santa Elena Expansion Pre-Feasibility Study on SEDAR. SilverCrest Mines (SVL.V in Canada and SVLC in the U.S.) continues to be our largest holding.

  • 07 May 2013 - Silver Bull Resources - CEO Tim Barry Introduces the Company and Its 131 Moz Ag Flagship Property

    You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.


    Silver Bull Resources is a junior exploration company, focused on its flagship Sierra Mojada project located in a world class mining jurisdiction in Coahuila State, Mexico. The project currently has an open pittable Indicated resource of 131 Million ounces (45 g/t cutoff).

    We believe Silver Bull has all the right ingredients to become the next "market darling" and we suspect the fundamentals are so strong for this company that it will receive a lot more attention in the coming months.

    The company has two listings, big board in Canada (svb.to) and an AMEX listing in the U.S. (svbl). We have bought all our stock through the U.S. listing as that's where most shares are traded.

  • 29 Apr 2013 - Rye Patch Gold - Mining in Nevada and LH Claims Dispute

    You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.


    After adding Rye Patch Gold (rpm.v) to our portfolio recently, we caught up with CEO Bill Howald today. He walked us through the reasons on why Nevada is a great place to be operating in and how the company got started seven years ago with himself as one of the founders. The fact that Nevada currently mines 79% of all the gold in the United States would make them the world's fifth largest producing country by its own - impressive.

    Of course, we had Bill explain the background and his views on the ongoing dispute over the LH Claims which are part of the existing operating Rochester Mine (Coeur d'Alene). Rye Patch is holding a significant number of claims and this land package is essential for the mine to continue operating as Coeur now are mining old tailings at the mine. This is actually the main reason for us to take a position in RPM as we see no other way for Coeur d'Alene than to make a bid for Rye Patch.

  • 29 Apr 2013 - SilverCrest Mines - Marcio Fonseca, VP Corporate Development

    You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.


    On Friday we spoke to Marcio Fonseca, VP Corporate Development at SilverCrest Mines. Marcio updated us on the ongoing expansion at the company's flagship property, the Santa Elena Mine.

    Among other things, we talked about how the planned increased waste stripping in Q1 will benefit the company's profitability greatly in the coming quarters. Marcio also explained how low the actual strip ratio will be by year-end as the Santa Elena OP depletes and goes underground. With lower production cost going forward, the company will still clear a good ~ US$2.5 million per month (net) despite the downturn in the precious metals. That is sweet music to our ears and our assessment in December -12 when we added SVL to our portfolio was correct, SilverCrest has handled these markets better than most other juniors.

    Next immidiate trigger is the resource update and expansion plans for the Santa Elena mine. SilverCrest Mines (SVL.V in Canada and SVLC in the U.S.) is our largest holding currently.

    We caught up with SilverCrest's CEO Mr. Scott Drever and today he updated us on the ongoing expansion at the company's flagship property, the Santa Elena Mine.

    Since Gecko Research took a position in SVL in December of 2012, the news flow has been close to exceptional and we see this continue going forward as well. In this 31 minute long interview, Scott kept us in the loop of what releases to expect in the next short while and he also updated listeners on the progress of the expansion at Santa Elena. Among other topics discussed, we also talked about the important work that the company does to help and support the local community.

    SilverCrest Mines (SVL.V in Canada and SVLC in the U.S.) continues to deliver and adding value to shareholders. We strongly feel that this is a "top notch" company from all aspects: people, juristiction, production, growth profile, paper and much more.
