A discussion on the Novo acquisition of the Millennium Mill
Since Erik brings up Novo Resources a lot on the show I get his thoughts on the news this week. Novo acquired Millennium Minerals Limited for its production assets, known by some as the Millennium Mill.
I discussed this acquisition with Quinton earlier in the week. Click here to listen to that interview.
Bonzo:
May be nothing more than reacting to the fundraising price per share or warrant price as it is tied to $3.25 canadian. I think that is about $2.45 US. Soon as it opened it was in the $2.65 to 2.70 US. I think I got some about $2.68. Had to go to the grocery store and missed everything. Got in the door in time to pick up some Great Bear on sale. I also saw our wandering child, Santacruz, is trading and up over 15%. Something good must of happened other than somebody wanting a correction. Matthew says it is all good, so I have been taking a few profits and buying. I picked up Scorpio yesterday which was up and haven’t found out why yet. OK…I have had enough correction. They wiped out Monday and Tuesday…that should be enough to satisfy the dysfunctional market syndrone which is another Pandemic in New York and Washington.
Forgot. I need to listen to Edik who probably tells us everything about the Novo deal.
“I also saw our wandering child, Santacruz, is trading…”
(SCZ) Santacruz Silver closed up 20.7% today (post week and 1/2 halt) on the good news about them now owning Mine # 3 Zimapan.
Quite the wanderer… eh?

Silver is up above $29, but you sure wouldn’t know it by looking at the way most of the Silver stocks have been trading lately. The under-performance in these miners is staggering.
Again, if we went back 6 months or a year and asked people where they thought the Silver miners would go once the 2016 high of $21.23 was taken out up to $22 or $23, most would have anticipated much more action and fireworks. If we had said where do you think the Silver miners will be at $24-$26, most would have expected to see multibaggers. Now Silver is up over $29 and it is like Weekend At Bernies out there in most of the miners…. Sad…. so sad…
Silver futures real time pricing:
Yeah it’s pretty funny how things go ……. up over 300% in 4 months on many plays makes one happy indeed yet had you said silver $29 it would not have been wrong to exp ct 500-600% gains if not more……and btw Ex I was being a little facetious when I was talking about Glenfidish’s silver call being the end of the first week of August…..even his bold year end call underestimated things but none of us are complaining
Wolfster – Agreed. Nobody saw this quick of an undeterred move higher in either Gold or Silver to such highs this soon. There are people that have retooled their forecasts according as things have moved higher, as they should in an evolving market, but nobody was calling for this kind of move Jan-May, and then boom June, July, August it has plowed through almost every technicians resistance points without even a pause or much of a challenge.
Silver is now $29.52 for goodness sakes, and 2/3rds of the Silver stocks sold off on this news. It’s crazy how bad the Silver stocks are underperforming this move higher in the metals, and how they are not offering the leverage most investors expected to see.
Maybe the investors in the miners don’t trust the moves higher in the metal, or maybe the miners just have A TON of catching up to do. As OOTB mentioned earlier, it may just be that most generalist investors are just not positioned in the miners yet. Of course, some generalist funds have come into the ETFs GDX & GDXJ and the larger producers, but even most of the larger Silver producers were down today on this rocket-launch higher in Silver. It’s crazy out there.
What is shocking is that most of the Silver miners aren’t even close to where they were back in 2016 when Silver shot up to $21.23. Silver is $8 above that level, and every single producer can make money at current levels, and their margins just all improved in a major way, and so investors hit the sell button. (WTF?)
The Silver developers that have all the ounces in the ground that were looking good at $16-$18 Silver, Great at $19-$21 Silver, and insanely valuable at $22+ have not really been re-rated higher at $23, $24, $25, $26, $27, $28, $29. It likely would have been much more accretive for the metals to have moved higher like this over many months or a year, versus in such a short time period where the miners just yawned.
The buying has actually been exhausted the last few weeks now (even with Silver making new recent highs each day). Most of the big gains coming out of the mid-March sector low, were just regaining ground back up to $18 and then the move from $18-$20. For the rest of the move higher in the $21-$29 range, the silver miners really have not done much at all as far as performance and either a massive catchup rally is coming, or there is nobody left to buy these stocks. I believe the Silver miners will play catch up over time, even if the metal corrects back down, but still the lack of movement or excitement during this metals rally has been stunning.
Ex:
Can it all be as simple as the bullion banks on the wrong side of the paper trade. I don’t know but it always seems to be the problem.
Hi David. Oh I’m sure many of the shorts are getting squeezed and forced to cover their positions which is moving the Silver and Gold prices higher and higher.
Still – most mining companies for the last few years have stated as soon as Silver was back above $20 they could really pour it on and make some cake. If someone had asked – well what about $23 or $24 or $25 Silver, most of the companies and their investors would have been flipping out with excitement.
Here things are with Silver at $29.40 and both Silver mining ETFs SIL and SILJ closed down on the day. For the past few weeks many Silver stocks have been selling off as the metal added $.50 – $1.00 many days which are huge moves and used to take weeks or months the last few years. There has just been a major disconnect in the miners versus the metals, and the good news is the cure for low prices is low prices. Eventually someone is going to hit these miners with a shark prod and say “Hey, wake up you should be making boatloads of money here.”
Uh-oh. Silver down to $28.35 – How will the Silver miners ever survive? 🙂
Edik = Erik
Dysfunctional ( intervention) syndrome
Basically what we’re seeing is a draw down/ outage in both Au & Ag on the Comex & LBMA with the commercials trapped. No doubt the PPT with say $5 billion funny money in the trading desk each day at The Treasury is shorting the individual miners & ETFs. Anybody have any better understanding?
The CoTs look record bullish to me. The commercials significantly reduced shorts into a $100 gold rise while the specs reduced longs significantly. That’s probably never happened before and open interest is still very low.
Sprott Money with Eric & Craig I’m sure will address the miner/ETF stock suppression Friday am
I bought a few more shares today after the drop.
Quinton had a huge mistake of stating that he is paying for a mill in receivership the same price of a new mill and that the mill being bought needs upgrades. No receivership discount ? On top of that who knows what the fully diluted share number is now ! anyone know ?
Great questions Keith……
Anyone know any U.S. brokerages that would handle Canadian private placements?
(SVM) Silvercorp Reports Net Income of $15.5 Million, $0.09 Per Share, and Cash Flow from Operations of $30.1 Million for Q1 Fiscal 2021
by @nasdaq on 6 Aug 2020
– Sold approximately 1.9 million ounces of silver, 1,100 ounces of gold, 20.9 million pounds of lead, and 7.0 million pounds of zinc, representing an increase of 1%, 10%, and 17% in silver, gold and lead sold, and a decrease of 5% in zinc sold, compared to the prior year quarter;
– Revenue of $46.7 million, up 2% or $1.1 million compared to $45.6 million in the prior year quarter;
– Net income attributable to equity shareholders of $15.5 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to $12.6 million or $0.07 per share in the prior year quarter;
– Cash cost per ounce of silver1, net of by-product credits, of negative $1.48, compared to negative $2.17 in the prior year quarter;
– All-in sustaining cost per ounce of silver1, net of by-product credits, of $5.61, compared to $5.69 in the prior year quarter;
– Cash flow from operations of $30.1 million, compared to $19.9 million in the prior year quarter;

– Paid dividends of $2.2 million, or $0.0125 per share, to equity shareholders;
I- nvested $5.8 million in New Pacific Metals Corp. (NUAG) to maintain the Company’s ownership interest at 28.8%;
– Strong balance sheet with $178.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, an increase of $35.9 million or 25% compared to March 31, 2020; and,
– Investment in NUAG with market value of $178.2 million and other investments of $7.4 million.
I’ve thought svm excellent for years, they were giving away shares at .60 cent cdn for awhile. ipt 11 cents cdn at the time.
The only issue with svm is its in china, and Trump is pushing for war so I figure thats the risk with svm.
He and crony’s sanctions tariffs etc
I’ve been adding more to my Silvercorp position again (including today) to hold profits from other trades and it is my 2nd largest position again, and I may add more next week and move it to my largest position. They still have the best margins in the Silver miners with an AISC of $5.61, a large cash holding, and a strategic position in New Pacific Metals. Also they didn’t get much credit from the market on scooping up $6.5 Million ($9 Million Canadian) on Guyana Goldfields breaking their merger contract, so that was a nice pick up of Millions just to make an offer that got rejected. I continue to see them as economically stable, but with the risk of operating in China. It looks like they were trying to expand more into South America on that last deal, and by a recent strategic stake they took in Avalon Investment Holdings Ltd. And Anconia Resources Corp in Guyana, as well as NUAG in Bolivia. Those are all somewhat riskier jurisdictions but they also have proven they can operate in those areas effectively so I’m comfortable risking it for the better margins, dividends back to shareholders, and growth. SVM has outperformed most of the other Silver producers over the last 2-3 years or so.
Not to worry about the lack of move in the silver stocks. I look at it as a positive since it affirms how strong and long this bull market will be—it also could be signalling that we’re going to see silver prices a lot higher in the future then we have ever seen them. Those that have been proponents of the silver “cup and handle” technicals could be spot on this time. I like the price action since it will be a much more solid market that is with us for some time. Some of the silver stocks are finally breaking out of their monthly trading channels. It’s just more opportunity to continue to take long term positions in the silver miners.
I feel a lot better hearing Doc bullish. Sprott had said last week that silver could go up in a hurry. Where are the bullion banks going to come up with 900 million ozs to cover their silver shorts?
another opinion on eastmain res. from jeff clark…Jeff Clark
@TheGoldAdvisor
Personal portfolio move: I decided to sell Eastmain. Yes, I will miss out on some shares if deal goes thru, but not crazy about its project, and Auryn’s flagship is a copper asset. IMHO there are more compelling gold/silver projects & the cash will give me the chance to buy them.
I’m not sure what Jeff is talking about regarding Auryn as their 2 flagship projects (not 1) are not copper projects, but but Homestake and Committee Bay are high grade gold projects, as is their 3rd project Gibson MacQuoid.
The Copper project Auryn has is Sombrero in Peru and it is one of the 2 spin-out companies Auryn shareholders will get as part of this transaction.
Here is a link to Auryn’s website on their projects to help Jeff out on their Gold projects that will be merged with Eastmains gold projects.
https://www.aurynresources.com/projects/overview/
As for Eastmain’s 2 Gold projects Eau Claire & Eleonore South JV, they are both quality gold projects as well, it was just the prior 2 management teams that needed the boot.
Excelsior,
I am looking to build a portfolio of junior and midcap copper producers preferably in low risk jurisdictions. Can you recommend a couple of them? The COPX etf is fine but I want more leverage to higher copper prices.
Thanks.
Pyrite, EX is a lot more knowledgeable then I am as far as the fundamentals of various companies but one copper producer that I have a large holding in and is also blessed to have gold holdings is WRN. Just a thought. I also love their technicals at this time.
Doc,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will take a look at WRN. How about Kutcho Copper?
HI Pyrite,
The good news is there is lots of Copper all over the planet, and I believe for many investors the COPX ETF is a solid way to play it, and unlike many ETFs that have really bizarre companies or sectors mixed in with their holdings, the Copper ETF actually has a solid list of companies included.
As for leverage in the Copper space, that will likely start coming from the Copper Developers with a solid resource already outlined in prior cycles that starts getting re-rated higher on rising metals prices, or some of the more advanced explorers that may be on to a solid deposit.
The issue with most Base & Industrial Metals (whether it is Copper, Nickel, Zinc, Lead, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Tin, Iron, etc….) is that they are almost all polymetallic deposits with many metals. As a result there aren’t lots of “pure” sector plays in any of them and so companies need to decide if they are reporting in Silver equivalent ounces, Copper equivalent ounces, Zinc equivalent ounces, Nickel equivalent ounces, Platinum equivalent ounces, and so on…
As a result, most of the Copper producers have a hodge-podge of base metals or other commodities like Coal or Uranium. So there are the big producers like Teck, Rio Tinto, BHP, Hudbay, Glencore, Antofagasta, Freeport, etc… but most of their Copper assets aren’t in that safe of jurisdictions. Much of the Copper comes from South America (Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil), or Mongolia (Turquoise Hill/Entree), or some in Indonesia & Papua New Guinea, or in risky areas of Africa like the Congo, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, etc….
There are some “safer” jurisdictions in North America, but with Covid shut downs, rabid environmentalists and lobbyist mobilizing strong opposition to the large open pit mines often required for Copper, many of them won’t get off the ground anyway or risk being shut down. Polymet in Minnesota and Pebble in Alaska can’t seem to get their projects moving forward after a decade a piece with a half dozen false starts.
Most Copper deposits have to be huge to make the economics work at the low $2-$3.50 prices we’ve seen for so many years, but at $4-$5 Copper then some of smaller to mid-sized deposits start making more sense, have lower capex to get them started, and if they have a nice gold/silver credit they are more doable.
There are also some less intrusive Insitu Mining operations sprouting up like Taseko and Excelsior Mining that inject fluids into the ground (just like in Uranium mining) and extract the copper that way that are easier to permit and don’t face the environmental backlash.
___________________________________________________
Personally I haven’t put as much focus on Copper quite yet, with the breakout in Gold & Silver stocks garnering most of my focus, but I did start positions recently in Regulus & Sun Metals, and fairly recently in Triumph Gold that has a large copper component along with their Gold. Also McEwen Mining has nice copper kicker with their massive unloved and forgotten Los Azules project that they may end up monetizing. I have a tiny trapped position in Cordoba but don’t recommend it as it is in Colombia and has struggled.
I have considered others recently like Western Copper & Gold, and Sandfire.
>> The only Copper producer I currently hold is Sierra Metals (SMTS). They are polymetallic with Silver/Copper/Zinc/Lead/Gold, so that covers the spectrum.
https://s23.q4cdn.com/335191765/files/doc_presentations/2020/SMT-Corp-Presentation-August-3.pdf
There are other Silver and Gold producers with significant Copper credits as well, like for example, Americas Gold & Silver actually has some nice Copper credits in the mix, and now that metals prices are higher they’ll likely open back up a Copper circuit and start producing a Copper concentrate again, instead of just the lead concentrate to capture their higher grade Silver once again. Avino Silver & Gold has a nice Copper credit. And so on…. I like to get most of my Copper upside by having it be a co-credit to Precious metals or PGM deposits.

I wouldn’t want tell you what should and shouldn’t be on your list Ex but I would suggest looking at kodiak…… they are apart of the discovery group who seem to have pretty good track record
Good point Wolfster and I’ll add Kodiak to future lists, and please keeping sharing ideas as that is why we come here in the first place. There are too many miners to keep track of them all and this is date list I had posted over at ceo in the past, and likely needs an update. I also notice at first glance that Braveheart Resources, Josemaria Resources, Landore Resources, Phoenix Copper, QX Metals, Spruce Ridge Resources, and Traka Resources aren’t on there either.
Thanks man!
I think right now you have to consider AURANIA a cooper play, an elephant at that, my only copper holding.
Marty, Good point on Aurania. Yes Coppper/Silver down in Ecuador. I thought that was already on this list, but good eyes.
I bought copperfox for 5 cents cdn, it ran to $2.50 cdn.
Will it do it again from here? .14 cents cdn.
b – Ah yes, Copperfox. I owned them years ago but haven’t checked up on them in a long time. Good idea. I used to own Quaterra back in the last metals cycle, and better check up on them too.
Wise advice Ex: CO-Credit to precious metals right now seems to be a good way to getting more copper exposure. Especially if Copper’s floor drops out in next 6 months.
Agreed. I may add a few more Gold/Copper or Silver/Copper plays or to my existing ones more.
In addition to the ones mentioned above, I guess Auryn should be included another Gold/Copper/Silver company, as I’ll get the Sombrero spin-out company with Copper in Peru.
I’ve considered getting back in Abraplata, for the Copper/Silver, but I’m just not a huge fan of Argentina and already have exposure through McEwen.
I shared a 29-29.50 silver target with someone here in July but I also have a higher one that looks good (and I’m not talking about final tops for this move).
I posted the following chart last August when silver broke out of a 6 year downtrend. The March panic was clearly just a shakeout…
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24SILVER&p=W&yr=8&mn=0&dy=0&id=p43366167090&a=681517050
Whoa…hints of parabolic….
I don’t know, can vertical steepen further?! If it can, we will be making big bucks yesterday!
😉🍻
I hope to get some Kuya Silver shares once the MONT deal is over so wouldn’t mind this silver move getting even crazier. You have been spot on Matthew
Thank you Erik
I have never heard of Kuya Silver
Oh.,look…..gold $2069…….
Silver not even close to a top………
Last week James Dines predicted $500 silver and liked HL. My favorite copper play is MUX which has over 20 billion lbs and growing in Argentina that few know about, but Rob does.
Been building on MUX postition as well, lowkey SIlver as well
Platinum…….finally over a $1000……….yeppie…..

(MUX) McEwen Mining Reports Q2 2020 Results
by @nasdaq on 6 Aug 2020
“I very much wish I could say that all our difficulties that started last year are now behind, but they are not, yet. The second quarter was challenging from an operational and health and safety standpoint. Our significantly lower production not only reduced our revenue, but also dramatically increased our costs per ounce. In addition, a change in how we account for development expenditures added significantly to our cash cost per ounce at Black Fox. However, our path to future growth and improved operational performance has become clearer.”
“We are in a transition period setting up for future growth. We have a large resource base, four operating mines and can see an exciting organic growth pipeline of projects ahead that could potentially push our production to 300,000 ounces per year. I recently purchased 2 million shares, increasing my ownership to 82 million shares, and underlining my confidence in our future.”
— commented Rob McEwen, Chairman and Chief Owner.

False employment data out tomorrow. Reminds me of the last 20 years. Fed Meeting….take the metals down…BlS false employment data…take the metals down…false inflation data, false economic data…take the metals down. Meanwhile, all time highs in the general markets…year after year….
This is an election year with debt increasing and unpayable…fraud and corruption rampant…
What should we expect in the metals…deja vu or reality…
On the other hand, is it possible that the end of the biggest Ponzi scheme in the history of the World is facing a “call”.
Brixton pulled back precisely from a fork resistance that I had been watching but is likely to push through it very soon…

A smaller fork happened to put up more resistance at the same time…

Trading halt on Orex Minerals
Thanks Buzz for mentioning
I’ll second that.
I started a position the sixth of last month.
I thought it hadn’t moved enough compared to other Ag Co’s in 2016 dollars.
Geez I slept in and just saw the movements in the Gold & Silver markets, and even though the metals are so much higher than they’ve been in years, at levels that are very profitable to miners, resource investors are running around in panic… like Godzilla is after them…
I’ve been out nibbling today during the pullback in prices in Vizsla, Impact, Galiano, and more…
Added to my $USAS position
Yes, I added just a little to USAS today as well, along with AXU, and SVM and trimmed a little more BBB. I also added to the one mentioned above, but had other stink bids that didn’t get filled.
Can’t wait til our mining shares get revalued to Amazon and Tesla 🙂
This is just a crude chart I drew up with trendline showing that USAS finally broke above that level of resistance and then came down and backtested it, but I see this as the first sing of a bullish breakout and quite encouraging.

sing = sign
A wise person once said, “Ever Upward”
😉
Are you saying the paper manipulated criminal market is facing collapse and the handlers are caught on the wrong side of the trade? 🙂
Haha! No, just that resource investors are fickle and scatter as the first sign of selling.
Gold at $2030 and Silver at $28 is not scary and we’ve been waiting for levels like this for years now. The producers are all making money here, the development projects are MUCH more valuable, and when explorers hit paydirt is is worth more.
What’s not to like. I’ve been out shopping today 🙂
YEARS……………is right…………. 🙂
The Year of Jubilee….. lol 🙂
OOTB I’ve been adding to my Jubilee Metals Group position that extract Platinum, Palladium, and Chrome from other miners tailing projects… trying to make a little before the Debt Jubilee.
Bubba……just went Long Platinum…….see kitco…. 🙂
Yeah, Platinum looks set to jet…. I’ll check out Bubba’s piece as well.
You gotta listen to SprottMoneyRadio every Friday around 11 am. To Keep the Focus!. I call Eric Sprott “ The Wayne Gretzsky of Au/ Ag. “ He sees & knows wherebthe puck is going.
Yes agreed Marty, and I check out Uncle Eric’s interview with Craig every week. Cheers!
He had some nice things to say about hanging in there with Jaguar Mining (JAG) as well, and I’m glad to have held onto my core position and just traded around it for the last 3 years, mostly adding. In net, I sold some JAG down in 2017, but added more in 2018 and 2019 overall. This year I did 2 swing trades, but they were just 2 scalps for quick gains, and I kept the same number of shares as I had since 2019.
Jaguar has really surged since March, but rightly so – It’s free of the production hedging, has turned its operations around, lowered it’s costs in a substantial way, has excellent margins, and there is a rising gold price. As a result it’s grown into one of my larger gold holdings, and I’ve done my best to let this winner run…

Marty and Wolfster, thanks for the Eric Sprott Fri interview. Gold at 3300 and silver at $75 by Christmas and Festivus would do wonders for my holdings, but there may be a civil war caused by the election fraud by the Democrat/Socialist party.
A festivus for the rest of us. 🙂
Couldn’t resist getting some vizsla in the low $1.90’s…..still haven’t gotten my discovery stink bid filled and not looking like it will happen.
Same here.
Brixton up nicely today, that Bayhorse has been up so many days in a row…
Brixton up over 20%. BBBXF. Volume looks good as well.
Today if holds will be a one month high in % gain.
8/4 Tuesday BBBXF had a gain of 17.86%.
It got the Sprott pop from the weekend review.
Yes, noticed that in both. I’m trying to see if there are any other stocks starting with “B” I should be watching closer. Come on Bonterra! I also may position in Blue Lagoon here.
Try watching Billfold…….. understanding it is growing quickly… 🙂
Jerry, You are to clever.
For a minute there you had me wondering if it was a new crypto wallet.
John……. 🙂 crypto ….good one….
Yes OOTB, always a good idea to watch the Billfold as it grows…. ha!
If, you keep it in your back pocket, they will be calling you a Fat A$$….> ” 🙂
I can’t sit on a billfold like that and keep it in the front pocket, but they may still be calling me Fat A$$ regardless. Haha!
Try BONZ, short for BONZO. Just kidding.
Bonanza Gold
John
And seemingly no news, at least i couldnt find any…
Rumor has it that they are going to be creating a new Position for Mathew as Technical Advisor for Trading.
Good one. It sure looks good today at +26% 🚀
I feel like I got to trim today, but I hate to at the same time.
I know what you mean. At .41, it finished up 34.43% on the TSX-V and being above .385 gave us a bigger fork resistance breakout…
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BBB.V&p=W&yr=4&mn=9&dy=0&id=p39816052302&a=681845445
I did trim a little more today into the strength. I’ve only got half the initial position left.
Thanks for that chart. I took some off, but not much.
Nice to hear from Eric and Craig again, Eric sounds a lot like me…sitting in his rockingchair with a laptop and doing all his investments….lol
5.5 million investment by Sprott into Orex Minerals
Nice. +5.5. I was wondering what the halt was for. Good stuff.
Wow. (REX) Orex also got a Sprott pop today closing up 35%. I like it!!
Halt must have been for some drama…looks like it worked.
Added Blackrock, Discovery, Northern Vertex, Orex. Triumph, Vizsla and Mexus. Mexus cost me a tube of toothpaste, a gal. of milk and a loaf of bread.
Added = Added to
Good adds David. I have all of those except Blackrock, and funny on the Mexus cost equivalents.
Good day in the metal……time to catch a breather…..before going in again….
EB Tucker at kitco…….interview……..is SPOT ON……I said this months ago…
We are in a period, where most will not experience again, in their lifetime….
Metals are heading a lot higher….Period.
KIS….S…… 🙂
Young ones……..are going to miss this one……
Jeep beating that drum Jerry!!!
I just want everyone on the KER, to get their fair share of WEALTH……from the slim ball banksters……
OOTB J
LOL was smiling at BBB today….PAAA POW. Thx Matt and dudes.
🙂
I said last night that Brixton would make it through resistance soon, and it did, but now it is at an important speed line resistance that will probably unleash it very soon for a quick move to the .80 area.
Next week will probably bring much more upside action and the rest of the sector will probably join in by Wednesday.
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BBB.V&p=W&yr=5&mn=1&dy=0&id=p04515493699&a=777826699
I trimmed back more of my Brixton position into today’s strength, but do see that it broke out above fork resistance and up to that speed-line resistance. If you really feel it may head up to that next speed line up at .80, then it may make sense to add a bit more back to the position and ride it up there before liquidating it.
I saw that Matt!! Ya I thought the chart looked ready to Pop a few days ago… I’m on the fence still thinking longer term. Maybe start trimming if it moves to the next level. Highs would be sweet but if silvers on it way to even $70 not sure i should even mess around with timing.
I don’t have a ton of shares 150K. (10% of Matts lol) Pretty bloody happy period and thanks Excelsior!
Cheers Bill and good trading to you!
Novo the mill; what happened to Sumitomo, they didn’t come to the table, whats left of the 30 mil we had in the bank….did heritage needs get finalized? Great move on the mill, likely their tenements have course gold as well. How about cash/gold dividends!
Jim
Looks like great news for Novo, yet the stock is down big today. And silver is up 1.67 today, yet many silver stocks are down. WTF? At least ETHOF is up over 50% today.
