As per others advice incl. yours still looking at broader diversification in Mexico and Nevada and Canada. Looking at current or future production amongst some of the gold and silver players. I own GGC and it will remain my primary silver producer for now. How do you rank in order from best to worst the following SPM, CS, EXN, GPR, IPT? I like GPR as they have large exploring upside and can expand to 1200 t/day, I like CS as it is a Claude pick and they may have a 1000 t/day plant and sometimes bigger is better. Claude has pointed out he likes SPM as they have rich grades and also a 650 t/day plant. IPT has great grades lots of news stocks and you have mentioned their plant may need more refurbishing than others. Even though I sold way too prematurely, with the new 43-101 3.5 mill ounce potential at WGDF I am thinking of adding. Maybe adding QEE back and USGL as they have Nevada looking good for exploration and are permitted to produce and are producing in some cases now. Any reason not to own this group as small part of PF if I expect gold to run for a few years? Also still watching you reco of CMM, and others I have watched such as NGX and KGI. RMKL still one with value. I know there are many others out there that you may like but am curious mostly about the ones I mentioned. Thanks for you input. Now out to do some yard work. PS;ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO TAKE A SHOT PRO OR CON ON ANY OF THESE STOCKS PLEASE DO.Claude, howy, truescouse, coach etc etc. Left lots of good people out but comments are appreciated.
