Auf der Suche nach einer "Alexco-Alternative", bin ich auf diese sehr interessante Übersicht/Einschätzung/ Zusammenfassung in einem kanadischen Forum gestoßen:
Best performers so far – $EXN Excellon $SCZ Santacruz have had the most upside ~torque lately as marginal producers that benefit the most from increase in metals pricing, but that may or may not continue) $BCM Bear Creek Mining had a nice initial move out of the May low, as an optionality play on a large Silver development project.— Typically $IPT Impact Silver has the best upside torque, and while it got off to a slower start this round, it has really started to move lately.
> Best odds of increasing #production – $USA Americas Silver has gold production coming online in 6 months from Relief Canyon to assist it’s overall PM metrics, alongside Silver/Lead/Zinc; $ASM Avino Silver and Gold has 4th circuit finally completed and will be adding throughput, and is getting closer to bringing on Bralorne in BC; $EXK Endeavour Silver has a 5th mine, Terronera, about to come online in the next year that will radically augment their production profile.
> Best cost profile $SVM Silvercorp has had this honor for years, and is still the lowest cost producer with base metals credits, $USAS Americas Silver second best cost profile due to their base metals credits and it will look even better once their Gold production starts, and lastly $MAG Mag Silver will have 3rd best costs if it ever gets into production
> Best development plays – $AXU $AXR Alexco is my favorite high-grade near term producer; $BHS Bayhorse is expanding from development and trial mining into commercial production this year and very under-rated and under-followed; $SVB Silverbear is coming online into commercial production in Russian this year. Some would point out how $BCM Bear Creek has led the developers higher and has a wider following as a very large, lower grade optionality play on higher metals prices. Also, $SBB Sabina Gold & Silver is a very solid development-stage story, but I consider it mostly a Gold story so I don’t normally include it with the Silver stocks, but do own it, and feel it is a very likely takeover candidate for this bull run.
> Best Exploration potential (very difficult to pick as is the nature of discovery) – $MMG Metallia Minerals [Alexco’s neighbors] has the best odds of finding new high-grade discoveries at the well-endowed Keno Hill; $IPT Impact Silver – has good Silver and Gold prospects and has regularly brough great exploration results to the market year after year; $SIL Silvercrest is leader in the pack for exploration with a number of truly bonanza grade drill results, but also has already moved very high in valuation as a result. It is the most likely silver explorer to get taken out).
Vielleicht hilft es dem ein oder anderem bei seiner Anlageentscheidung.
Schönen Dienstag!
Die FED hat gesenkt.
