And all or nearly all gold mines are silver producers - the silver is a credit against the gold - I believe Barrick has the largest silver reserves in the world??

I called FCX a copper stock because 2/3 of the value of what they mine is copper.

Bema is gold stock, due to its current production at Refugio.

Remember, there is no such thing as a pure play.
Copper often comes with gold and silver.
Lead-zinc mines often comes with tons of silver.

Some of these new mines would not be economic based on the low copper or gold grades alone, they need both to work.
