Expert Comments:

The Gold Report Interview with Maria Smirnova (5/22/13) "We own names like SilverCrest Mines Inc. . .SilverCrest built the Santa Elena mine and has made money in the last couple of years. Now management is deciding to transition the mine from an open-pit to an underground operation. It is building a mill to grow production. That decision was prudent. . .last year SilverCrest produced about 2.4 Moz silver equivalent, and the target is to grow production to 4.5 Moz silver equivalent. That may not happen next year, but it will get there by 2015." More >
