Is silver setting up to lead the precious metals higher?
Dave Erfle joins me today to outline why he thinks silver is due for a strong move higher. Even though the broad precious metals sector is relatively slow right now there are a number of fundamental and technical factors that are bullish. We outline these factors as well as the types of silver stocks Dave likes.

Silver is now trading like a currency; look for higher prices – Kootenay Silver CEO
Kitco News (09/01/2020) #VIDEO
“Silver has seen significant momentum in the last two months as it is now outperforming gold. One mining executive said that all-time highs are not out of reach for the precious metal with this strong tailwind.”
“In an interview with Kitco News on the sideline of the Mines and Money Online Connect global virtual mining conference, Jim McDonald, CEO of Kootenay Silver, said that unprecedented loose monetary policy around the world would continue to drive precious metals higher. He added that silver’s all-time high around $50 isn’t even the full target.”
Here’s an interesting chart someone posted from Goldtent on (KTN) Kootenay Silver:

Good interview Cory & David. I generally agree with David’s criteria, except I wouldn’t limit it to companies under 100k shares as that knocks many great choices out, and share count isn’t nearly as important as market cap valuations compared to peers. There are plenty of N. American miners with 200k-800k shares or Aussie miners with 400k – 1 billion+ shares that are still fantastic companies.
Also as far as Silver Producers there are about 20 and have been that many for years. The only new Silver producer in the last few years was Silver Bear, and Bayhorse is going to be producer #21, and is ramping up mining and processing towards commercial production.
Alexco, Aurcana, and Mag Silver will be Silver producers #s 22, 23 & 24. (and technically Alexco and Aurcana were already priducers in the past cycle).
Most “Silver” producers are polymetallic and produce Silver along with Lead/Zinc/Copper or they have acquired Gold assets. That is the nature of the geological beast.
Silvercrest will be Silver producer #25 slated for 2022. SILV will be next into production, after Bayhorse, Alexco, Aurcana, and Mag Silver get into production by year end (or definitely by 2021).
Vizsla could be Silver producer #26 later in 2022 if they fast-track their project and option on the already permitted and built mill, but it will like be after Silvercrest gets their project into production as producer #25.
After that it will be the Silver optionally plays like Bear Creek, Discovery Metals, Southern Silver, Silver Bull, Kootenay, Orex, Dolly Varden, Minco that make it into Silver production 2023 and beyond.
Silver One may make it into production in 2022 as well, and Silver Tiger or Metallic Minerals may fast track their projects for 2023 if they keep hitting bonanza grades, but I believe both will get acquired prior to production.
Ever upward!
Thanks for laying those out Ex. I was wondering where there was an up-to-date list of the next half-dozen or so silver producers expected to be coming online. Your lists with accompanying dates is appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks Canuckski. These near-term silver producers and other developers are an interesting subsector of the Silver stocks, and their projects valuations should be going much higher with the rising metals prices, as their economics are radically better now at $26-$29 Silver than where they were at $16-$19 Silver.
Blackrock Gold is looking good so far.
