' - that depends on the PoAg scenario you project - if silver goes to a gazillion an ounce and stays there then there are plays with greater leverage, i believe sso.v is one, it has an otc-bb ticker [ssri?] .... on the other hand if you project PoAg of say 5.00US average over the medium term, then i don't know of a better way to play silver, because with the high-grade starter pit that bay has they can pay off their mine construction capex in the first year ... cash costs of 1.50/oz for the first x millions ounces, i forget how many exactly .... here's their website, check out the analyst reports, i think the Deutsche Bank one is by George Albino [remember him from wsp?] and gives the most comprehensive overview - cornerbay.com But don't listen to me, i'm just some doofus on the internet ... holding iau.v and ybr.v as well, they both have both silver and PGMs properties and are responsibly run imho ... thinking of some paa.to, should have jumped a month ago there when it was under 5.00, aargh ... there's more bang for the buck in bay.to than in paa.to imho, yet paa has that US listing paas and that gets it more exposure ..... also holding at the moment a little of our old fave k.to, which has a fair silver component to it [17% or something by value of production? ... that figure sticks in the mind for some reason] ... then there's mfl.to which is 50/50 Ag/Au by value, another worthy toiling geologist production like bay, i hold some .... Claude knows a lot more on silver plays than i, he was the first to pound the table on Corner Bay back near three years ago, made a lot of people a lot of money and there's legs in the story yet .... i'll be selling none under three loonies and precious bloody little under five .... cheerskitco.com
